Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES/SKIN: PRIMARY IRRITATION.
INHALATION: VAPORS ARE ANESTHETIC. IRRITATION TO RESPIRATORY TRACT,
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. REPEATED & PROLONGED
OCCUPATIONAL OVEREXPOSURE TO SOLVENTS MAY CAU SE PERMANENT BRAIN &
NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: DROWSINESS, LIGHTHEADEDNESS,
HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, STAGGERING, CONFUSION, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, OR
COMA.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE CPR OR OXYGEN IF
NECESSARY. EYES: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY W/LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15
MINS. SKIN: WASH AFFECTED AREA W/SOAP & WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING. I NGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING. OBTAINMEDICAL
ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.

Fire Fighting Procedures:FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT INCLUDING SCBA
SHOULD BE USED. WATER SPRAY MAY BE INEFFECTIVE, BUT MAY BE USED TO
COOL/KEEP DOWN VAPORS. FOG NOZZLES ARE PREFERRED.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINERS MAY BUILD-UP PRESSURE,
EXPLODE, OR AUTOIGNITE IF EXPOSED TO HEAT. EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA
OF SPILL & ADJACENT LOW LYING AREAS. REMOVE W/INERT ABSORBENT & NON
SPARKING TOOLS.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:DON'T STORE >120F. KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN. DON'T PUNCTURE OR INCINERATE. DON'T CRUSH (DON'T PLACE
IN GARBAGE COMPACTOR). DON'T SMOKE.
Other Precautions:USE ONLY AROUND EXPLOSION PROOF EQUIPMENT. AVOID
PROLONGED BREATHING OF VAPORS. AVOID CONTACT W/SKIN. DON'T TAKE
INTERNALLY. INTENTIONAL MISUSE BY DELIBERATELY CONCENTRATING &
INHALING THE CONTENTS OF AEROSOL CAN BE HARMFUL OR FATAL.
Respiratory Protection:USE BUREAU OF MINES APPROVED MECHANICAL FILTER
RESPIRATOR TO REMOVE SOLID AIRBORNE PARTICLES. CONFINED AREA: USE
BUREAU OF MINES APPROVED AIRLINE TYPE RESPIRATORS.
Ventilation:GENERAL DILUTION OR LOCAL EXHAUST IN VOLUME & PATTERN TO
KEEP TLV BELOW ACCEPTABLE LIMITS. EXPLOSION PROOF HOODS.
