Section III. Hazards Identification
Brown liquid. Flammable. Harmful if inhaled or ingested. Eye and skin irritant. May cause skin sensitization.
Emergency Overview
May be a respiratory sensitizer. Solvent vapor forms explosive mixtures with air. Avoid contact with water.
Section IV. First Aid Measures
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
Eye Contact
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical attention if irritation persits.
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
Skin Contact
contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Wash clothing before reuse.
Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Inhalation
Get medical attention.
Do not induce vomiting. Immediately give two glasses of water, a little at a time. Never give anything by
Ingestion
mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, lower head below waist
to prevent fluid from entering the lungs.

Hazards
Section VI. Accidental Release Measures
Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal
Small Spill
Toxic flammable liquid, insoluble or very slightly soluble in water.
Large Spill
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY earth,
sand or other non-combustible material. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material.
Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. Be
careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with
local authorities.
Section VII. Handling and Storage
Keep container tightly closed to prevent evaporation of solvents and exposure to moisture. Keep away from
Storage
heat, sparks and fire. Store as flammable liquid according to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106. Store in dry area
between 10-25 掳C. Reacts readily with moisture. Containers should be swept with nitrogen where possible.
To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and

handling) equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists. If you feel
unwell, seek medical advice (show the label when possible). When using do not eat, drink or smoke. After
handling, always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below

their respective threshold limit value. Local exhaust with a capture velocity of 100-150 fpm is recommended.
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location.
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Gloves. Synthetic apron. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified

respirator or equivalent*.
*For chlorobenzene exposures up to 1000 ppm use a chemical cartridge respirator with an organic vapor
cartridge approval for chlorobenzene. Over 1000 ppm, a self contained or air supplied breathing apparatus
with full face piece is recommended.
