3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
FLAMMABLE IN A LIQUID STATE
HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE MILD EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
SKIN:
Widespread contact with skin for several hours can cause harmful amounts of material to be absorbed.
INGESTION:
Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigu
nausea, headache, possible unconsciousness and even asphyxiation.
INHALATION:
High vapor concentrations or prolonged breathing of lower concentrations may result in damage to the
liver, kidneys, lungs and blood forming organs.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES:
Flush with luke warm water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.

24-hour Emergency Phone:
SKIN:
Remove contaminated clothing, wash area immediately with soap and water. See physician if irritation
persists.
INGESTION:
Rinse mouth immediately. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute. Do NOT induce vomiting. Contact
physician or poison control center immediately.
INHALATION:
Remove exposed individual to fresh air and assist breathing if necessary. Seek immediate medical
attention.

FLAMMABLE CLASSIFICATION: CLASS 1B
LOWEST FLASH POINT: 75F
METHOD: SCC
DOT: FLAMMABLE LIQUID
FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
LOWER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: .96
UPPER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: 10.7
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Alcohol Foam, CO2, Dry Chemical.
The National Fire Protection Association Class B extinguisher is designed to extinguish NFPA
Class 1B flammable liquid fires.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame.
Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat. Do not apply to hot surfaces. Never
use welding or cutting torch on or near container (even empty) because product (even residue) may
ignite explosively. Liquid and vapor states of this substance are dangerous fire hazards and
moderate explosion hazards when exposed to heat or flame.
FIREFIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Clear fire area of unprotected personnel. Do not enter confined space without helmet, face shield, bun
coat, gloves, rubber boots and a positive pressure NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing
apparatus. A water stream can scatter flames. A spray of water may be used to cool closed
containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible autoignition or explosion when exposed to
extreme heat. If water is used, fog nozzles are preferable.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Stay upwind and away from spill or leak unless wearing appropriate protective equipment.
Stop and/or contain discharge if it may be done safely. Keep all sources of ignition away.
Ventilate area of spill. Use non-sparking tools for clean up. Cover with inert material to reduce
fumes. Keep out of drains, sewer or waterways.
If large spill occurs, alert spill response teams. Contact fire authorities. Notify local health
and pollution control agencies.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
Bond and ground metal containers when transferring liquid. Avoid free fall of liquid in excess of a fe
inches. Personnel should avoid inhalation of vapors. Personal contact with the product should be
avoided. Should contact be made, remove saturated clothing and flush affected skin areas with

water. Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain
product residues (vapor, liquid and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in this sheet must be
observed.
STORAGE:
Keep product containers cool, dry and away from sources of ignition. Use and store this product with
adequate ventilation. DO NOT SMOKE in or near storage areas
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Use local exhaust as required to control vapor concentrations. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing o
vapors. If exposure exceeds TLV, use NIOSH-approved respirator to prevent overexposure.
SKIN PROTECTION:
Required for prolonged or repeated contact. Wear resistant gloves such as natural rubber, neoprene, bu
N or nitrile. An apron should be worn to avoid skin contact.
EYE PROTECTION:
Wear splashproof goggles and face shield if there is a likelihood of contact with eyes.
HYGENIC PRACTICES:
Wash hands thoroughly before eating or using restroom. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and d
not wear again until it has been properly laundered.
