SOLVENTS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RESTORE BREATHING. SKIN:
FLUSH W/WATER. EYES: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY W/LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER.
INGESTION: ASPIRATION HAZARD. DON'T INDUCE VOMITING. KEEP WARM &
QUIET. SMALL AMOUNTS OF LIQUID ASPIRATED INTO RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
DURING INGESTION/FROM VOMITING, MAY CAUSE CHEMICAL
PNEUMONIA/PULMONARY EDEMA. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point Method:SCC
Flash Point:60F
Lower Limits:0.9
Upper Limits:11.2
Extinguishing Media:CO2, DRY CHEMICAL FOAM
Fire Fighting Procedures:WATER STREAM WILL SPREAD. DON'T USE WATER HOSE
STREAM. WEAR FULL BUNKER GEAR IN AREA. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY
CLOSED. ISOLATE FROM HEAT/SPARKS/OPEN FLAMES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CLOSED CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE WHEN
EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT. WATER MAY BE USED TO COOL CONTAINERS. (SEE
SUPP)
Spill Release Procedures:AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. USE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. AVOID IGNITION SOURCES. APPLY ABSORBENT INERT
MATERIAL. CLEAN W/BRISTLE BROOMS, NON-SPARKING TOOLS, CLEAN DRY
RAGS. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SHOULD BE WORN .
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:DRUMS SHOULD BE GROUNDED WHEN BEING
EMPTIED.
Other Precautions:PROVIDE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION AGAINST FUMES

IS RESTRICTED. PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN SO THAT PERSONS DON'T
BREATHE VAPORS/HAVE CONT ACT W/EYES/SKIN.
Ventilation:SUFFICIENT VENTILATION
Protective Gloves:REQUIRED
Eye Protection:GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:CHEMICAL GOGGLES W/SIDE SHIELDS/FACE SHIELD,
PROTECTIVE CREAMS.
Work Hygienic Practices:REMOVE/LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE
REUSE. USE NORMAL HYGIENE PRACTICES DURING & AFTER HANDLING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
UNUSUAL FIRE CONT'D: VAPOR IS >THAN AIR & CAN TRAVEL CONSIDERABLE
