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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Risk of serious damage to eyes. Vapours may cause
drowsiness and dizziness.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the
air).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause moderate eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Skin:
May cause moderate skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated
contact may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause central nervous system depression, characterized
by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and
nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma
and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation. May
cause effects similar to those described for ingestion.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Chronic exposure may cause liver damage.

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

Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:

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

General Information:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. As
in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Combustion generates toxic fumes. During a fire,
irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors
that form explosive mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint.
Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground
and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use dry chemical,
carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT use straight
streams of water.

**** 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. Use water
spray to disperse the gas/vapor. Remove all sources of ignition.
Provide ventilation.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion proof equipment. Empty containers retain product
residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Do not get on
skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not pressurize, cut,
weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to
heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a
tightly closed container. Keep from contact with oxidizing
materials. 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 exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
