                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Highly flammable. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. 
May cause sensitization by skin contact.Highly flammable.Lachrymator 
(substance which increases the flow of tears). 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          Causes eye irritation.  Lachrymator (substance which increases the 
          flow of tears). 
     Skin: 
          Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic 
          reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. 
     Ingestion: 
          Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and 
          diarrhea. 
     Inhalation: 
          Causes respiratory tract irritation. Vapors may cause dizziness or 
          suffocation. Central nervous system effects, which appear to 
          predominate in acute cases are characterized by abnormal fatigue, 
          memory difficulties and dizziness. 
     Chronic: 
          Repeated exposure may cause sensitization dermatitis. 
 
                    **** 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: 
          Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 
          minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing 
          before reuse. 
     Ingestion: 
          Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical 
          aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and 
          drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. 
     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: 
          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 may form an explosive mixture with air. 
          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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed 
          containers cool. Water may be ineffective. Material is lighter than 
          water and a fire may be spread by the use of water. Flammable liquid 
          and vapor. Vapors may be heavier than air.  They can spread along 
          the ground and collect in low or confined areas. May polymerize 
          explosively when involved in a fire. Will be easily ignited by heat, 
          sparks or flame. Containers may explode if exposed to fire. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or 
          alcohol-resistant foam. Water may be ineffective. Water may spread 
          fire. If water is the only media available, use in flooding amounts. 
          For large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do 
          NOT use straight streams of water. Cool containers with flooding 
          quantities of water until well after fire is out. 
 
                **** 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. Scoop up 
          with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable container for 
          disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. A 
          vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Avoid contact 
          with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product 
          residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container 
          tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid 
          ingestion and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash 
          clothing before reuse. 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. Store in a tightly closed 
          container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from 
          incompatible substances. Flammables-area. Keep refrigerated. (Store 
          below 4C/39F.) Do not store in metal containers. Keep away from 
          polymerization catalysts. 
 
          **** 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 
          ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
