                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Flammable.The toxicological properties of this material have not 
been fully investigated. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          May cause eye irritation. 
     Skin: 
          May cause skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the 
          skin. 
     Ingestion: 
          May cause irritation of the digestive tract. The toxicological 
          properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. May be 
          harmful if swallowed. 
     Inhalation: 
          May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties 
          of this substance have not been fully investigated. May be harmful if 
          inhaled. 
     Chronic: 
          No information found. 
 
                    **** 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. 
     Skin: 
          In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove 
          contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation 
          develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse. 
     Ingestion: 
          If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by 
          medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious 
          person. Get medical aid. 
     Inhalation: 
          If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial 
          respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. 
     Notes to Physician: 
          Treat symptomatically and supportively. 
 
                  **** 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be 
          generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Will burn if 
          involved in a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may be 
          heavier than air.  They can spread along the ground and collect in 
          low or confined areas. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may 
          cause pollution. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and 
          ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, 
          observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all 
          sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. 
          Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use 
          spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid breathing 
          dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and 
          clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or 
          vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not 
          pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty 
          containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Keep away from heat, 
          sparks and flame. 
     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: 
          Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped 
          with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or 
          local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to 
          acceptable levels.

                       NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved 
                       respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
