======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:EYE: FLUSH EYES W/WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS. IF IRRIT
OCCURS, GET MED ATTN. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMD CLTHG/SHOES & WIPE
EXCESS FROM SKIN. FLUSH W/WATER. FOLLOW BY WASHING W/SOAP & WATER.
IF IRRIT OCCURS, GET MED ATTN. DO NOT REUSE CLTHG UNTILCLEANED.

DFCLT. GET MED ATTN. INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMIT. IF VOMIT OCCURS
SPONT, KEEP(ING 13)
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:100F,38C
Lower Limits:0.7%
Upper Limits:5.0%
Extinguishing Media:USE H*2O FOG, FOAM, DRY CHEM/CO*2. DO NOT USE
DIRECT STREAM OF WATER. PROD WILL FLOAT & CAN BE REIGNIT ON SURF OF

====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP LIQ & VAP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS
& FLAME. SURFS THAT ARE SUFF HOT MAY IGNIT EVEN LIQ PROD IN ABSENCE
OF SPARKS/FLAME.
Other Precautions:EXTING PILOT LIGHTS, CIGARETTES & TURN OFF OTHER
SOURCES OF IGNIT PRIOR TO USE & UNTIL ALL VAPS ARE GONE. VAPS MAY
ACCUM & TRAVEL TO IGNIT SOURCES DISTANT FROM HNDLG SITE: FLASH-FIRE
CAN RSLT. KEEP CN TNRS CLSD WHEN NOT IN USE. (ING 19)
Respiratory Protection:IF EXPOSURE MAY/DOES EXCEED OCCUP EXPOS LIMITS
USE A NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD RESP TO PVNT OVEREXP. IN ACCORD W/29CFR
1910.134 USE EITHER A NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD ATM-SUPPLYING
RESP/NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD AIR-PURIFYIN G RESP FOR ORGANIC VAPORS.
Ventilation:USE EXPLOSION-PROOF VENTILATION AS REQUIRED TO CONTROL
VAPOR CONCS. USE (ONLY) W/ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Protective Gloves:CHEMICAL RESISTANT(NEOPRENE) GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR CHEMICAL RESIST(NEOPRENE) CLTHG TO MIN
CONTACT. EMER EYEWASH & DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI DESIGN CRITERIA.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH W/SOAP & WATER BEFORE EATING, DRINKING,
SMOKING/USING TOILET FACILITIES. LAUNDER CONTAMD CLTHG BEFORE
REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
FIRE FIGHT PROC: & STRUCTURES W/WATER. EXPLO HAZ: FLAME CONT SHOULD BE
