Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE CONT:BASED ON SIMILAR PROD, MAY BE
SEVERELY IRRIT & CAUSE CORNEAL DMG. SKIN CONT:BASED ON HUMAN EXPER,
N-BUTYL GLYCIDYL ETHER(BGE) IS EXTREMELY IRRIT, MAY CAUSE DMG & IS
A SENSITIZ. PROD MAY BE TO X IF ABSORBED. INHAL:BASED ON HUMAN
EXPER, N-BGE MAY CAUSE IRRIT OF RESP TRACT & BE RESP TRACT

EQUIPMENT . CAUTION. COMBUSTIBLE. COOL FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH
WATER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HAZ RATING:HEALTH: 3; FLAMMABILITY: 2;
REACTIVITY: 0. CNTNRS EXPOSED TO INTENSE HEAT FROM FIRES SHOULD BE
COOLED W/WATER TO PREVENT VAP PRESS BUILDUP WHICH COULD RESULT IN
CNTNR RUPTURE. CNTNR AREAS E XPOS TO DIRECT FLAME CONT SHOULD BE
COOLED W/LG QTYS OF WATER AS NEEDED TO PREVENT WEAKENING OF CNTNR
STRUCTURE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:CAUT. COMBUST. LG SPILLS:ELIM POTNTL SOURCES

NON-LEAKING CNTNRS & SEAL TIGHTLY FOR PROPER DISP. FLUSH AREA
W/WATER TO REMOVE TRACE RESIDUE; (SUPDAT)
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT BREATHE FUMES. AVOID CONT
W/EYES, SKIN & CLTHG. KEEP LIQ & VAP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPKS & FLAME.
SURFS THAT ARE SUFFICIENTLY HOT MAY IGNITE EVEN LIQ PROD IN ABSENCE
OF SPKS/FLAME. EXTING PILOT LIGH TS, CIGARETTES & TURN OFF OTHER
SOURCES OF IGNIT PRIOR TO USE & UNTIL ALL VAPS ARE GONE.
Other Precautions:VAPS MAY ACCUM & TRAVEL TO IGNIT SOURCES DIST FROM
HNDLG SITE; FLASH-FIRE CAN RSLT. KEEP CNTNRS CLSD WHEN NOT IN USE.
