OSHA PEL 1600 MG/M3; 400 PPM

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:LONG TERM OVEREXPOSURE MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, EYES, SKIN,
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, LIVER, SPLEEN, AND KIDNEYS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: EXPOSURE TO HIGH VAPOR
CONCENTRATION MAY IRRITATE MUCUS MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
OVEREXPOSURE CAN CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, LOSS OF
COORDINATION, DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, AND NAUSE A. EYE CONTACT: SHORT
TERM LIQUID OR VAPOR IN CONTACT MAY RESULT IN IRRITATION AND
DERMATITIS. SKIN CONTACT: PROLONGED OR REPEATED WIDESPREAD CONTACT
MAY RESULT IN ABSORPTION OF SOLVENTS CAUSING DIZZ INESS, HEADACHE,
AND NAUSEA. INGESTION: MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION,
NAUSEA, VOMITING, AND DIARRHEA. ASPIRATION OF VOMIT INTO THE LUNGS
MAY RESULT IN SEVERAL CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS AND PULMON ARY
EDEMA/HEMORRHAGE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING EYE, SKIN,
RESPIRATORY, AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS, AND UNUSUAL
ALLERGIC SENSITIVITY.

First Aid:IF AFFECTED BY INHALATION OF VAPOR, MOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR.
IF NOT BREATHING, APPLY ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AND CALL EMERGENCY
MEDICAL CARE. FOR EYE CONTACT, FLUSH EYES WITH FRESH WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
FOR SKIN CONTACT, WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE ANY
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL
EMERGENC Y MEDICAL CARE.

Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:=40.6C, 105.F
Lower Limits:1.0%
Upper Limits:6.0%
Extinguishing Media:FOAM, ALCOHOL FOAM, CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, WATER FOG.
Fire Fighting Procedures:LIQUID EVAPORATES AND FORMS INVISIBLE VAPOR
THAT SPREADS ALONG HORIZONTAL SURFACES AND CAN BE IGNITED BY REMOTE
SOURCES. CLOSED CONTAINERS CAN DEVELOP INTERNAL PRESSURE AND MAY
RUPTURE WHEN SUBJECTED TO EXTREME HEAT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN
CONFINED SPACE. AVOID SPREADING BURNING LIQUID WITH WATER FOG USED
FOR COOLING PURPOSES.

Spill Release Procedures:EXTINGUISH ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION, VENTILATE
ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION, VENTILATE ENCLOSED AREAS. KEEP PEOPLE
AWAY. DIKE AND ABSORB SPILLED LIQUID WITH INERT MATERIAL SUCH AS
CLAY, GRANULES, SAND, EART H, OR SAWDUST. USE RAGS TO CLEAN UP
SMALL AMOUNTS OF SPILLED MATERIALS.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED WHEN NOT IN
USE. DO NOT HANDLE OR STORE NEAR HEAT, FLAME OR OTHER OXIDIZERS;
ACIDS AND ALKALIS. STORE IN COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA. ROTATE
STOCK, USE OLDER MATERIAL FIRST. INSP ECT ALL CONTAINERS FOR LEAKS.
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT AND FLAME. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE
VENTILATION OR PROTECTION. AVOID BREATHING SPRAY MIST OR VAPOR. DO
NOT INGEST. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN. CLOSED CONTAINER AFTER EACH
USE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT CRUSH, PUNCTURE, CUT,
GRIND, OR WELD EMPTY CONTAINERS, WHICH MAY RETAIN PRODUCT
RESIDUES.

Respiratory Protection:FOR SPRAY APPLICATION, WEAR ORGANIC VAPOR
RESPIRATOR (NIOSH/MSHA TC 23C EQUIVALENT). IF VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS
EXCEEDS EXPOSURE LIMITS, USE AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR (NIOSH/MSHA
TC19 OR EQUIVALENT.)
Ventilation:GENERAL MECHANICAL VENTILATION MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO
DISPERSE VAPOR. OTHERWISE, OPEN DOORS AND WINDOWS OR USE PORTABLE
FANS TO PROVIDE LOCAL EXHAUST.
Protective Gloves:USE IMPERMEABLE SOLVENT-RESISTANT GLOVES TO AVOID
SKIN CONTRACT.
Eye Protection:USE SAFETY GLASSES, GOGGLES, OR FACE SHIELD TO PROTECT
EYES.
Other Protective Equipment:IMPERMEABLE HEADCOVERING AND GENERAL
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING ARE RECOMMENDED FOR PROTECTION AS NECESSARY.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH HANDS AND FACE BEFORE EATING. DO NOT SMOKE
IN AREA OF USE.
