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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Toxic in contact with skin. Very toxic by
inhalation and if swallowed.Light sensitive.Air sensitive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May be fatal if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation.
Can produce delayed pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.

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

Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
POISON material. In case of contact, get medical aid immediately.
Immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
POISON material. If swallowed, get medical aid immediately. Only
induce vomiting if directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove
victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Effects may be delayed. Persons with liver, kidney, or central
nervous system diseases may be at increased risk from exposure to
this product.

**** 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 may form an explosive mixture with air.
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by
thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep
fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors are
heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or
confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.

**** 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. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Wear a
self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal
protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section).
Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide
ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
Evacuate unnecessary personnel.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not
get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product
residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container
tightly closed. Use and store under nitrogen. Discard contaminated
shoes. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or
expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Do not
breathe vapor. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Inform laundry
personnel of contaminant's hazards. Use only with adequate
ventilation or respiratory protection.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Dark room.
Refrigerator/flammables. Store under nitrogen. Store in air tight
containers. Store in a cool, dry area away from incompatible
substances. Separate from oxidizing materials.

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

Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits. Ventilation fans and other electrical
service must be non-sparking and have an explosion-proof design.
