Section 3: Hazards Identification
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Warning! Combustible liquid and vapor. Harmful if inhaled or absorbed
through skin. Aspiration hazard if swallowed.
PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL HAZARDS: When heated above 100掳C/212掳F may under go a self-accelerating,
exothermic reaction which causes a rapid rise in temperature and
pressure. Rupture of storage vessels and fire should be anticipated in
case of such temperature.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: Not classified as dangerous for the environment according to EC Criteria
Section 4: First Aid Measures
EYE: Flush with water for 15-20 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
SKIN: Wash immediately with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
Discard shoes and leather articles saturated with the product. Obtain medical advice if irritation
occurs.
INHALATION: Remove exposed person to fresh air. If breathing is labored give oxygen. If breathing has
stopped apply artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If conscious, give 2 glasses of water. If vomiting does occur,
keep head below hips to reduce risk of aspiration. Get immediate medical attention.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Isolate spill area. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protection. Recover free product for
recycle and/or disposal. Add sand, earth or other suitable absorbent to spill area. Prevent entry into sewers and
waterways. Check under Transportation and Labeling (DOT/CERCLA) and Other Regulator Information Section
(SARA) for hazardous substances to determine regulatory reporting requirements for spill.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
HANDLING: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames. Keep containers closed. Use only with adequate
ventilation. To avoid fire, minimize ignition sources.
STORAGE: Keep container in a well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.
Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
EXPOSURE LIMITS

VENTILATION: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below
exposure limits.
RESPIRATORY: Use a NIOSH approved respirator when necessary.
SKIIN: Use Viton or Nitrile gloves to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
EYE: Use splash goggles or face shield where splashing is expected or can occur.
