**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Irritating to skin. Harmful : danger of serious
damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. Possible
risk of impaired fertility. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause
long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Harmful: may
cause lung damage if swallowed. Vapours may cause drowsiness and
dizziness.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes mild eye irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts. May cause dermatitis.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. May cause lung damage.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Exposure produces central nervous system
depression.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause adverse reproductive
effects.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. Do
NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. Get medical
aid.
Notes to Physician:

**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****

General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Will burn if involved in a fire. Containers may explode in the
heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use foam, dry
chemical, or carbon dioxide.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition.
Use a spark-proof tool.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid breathing
dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. Use only in a
chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
