3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects
Eyes
Can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes.
Skin
May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness,
burning, drying and cracking of skin, and skin burns. Passage of this material into the body through the skin is
possible, and may add to toxic effects from breathing or swallowing.
Swallowing
Swallowing this material may be harmful. This material can get into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This
results in lung inflammation and other lung injury.
Inhalation
Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to
cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful. Symptoms usually occur at air concentrations higher
than the recommended exposure limits (See Section 8).
Symptoms of Exposure
Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing, and/or passage of the material
through the skin may include: metallic taste, mouth and throat irritation (soreness, dry or scratchy feeling, cough),
stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), central nervous system
W5700 1
excitation (giddiness, liveliness, light-headed feeling) followed by central nervous system depression (dizziness,
drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness) and other central nervous system effects,
temporary changes in mood and behavior, leg cramps, muscle weakness, pain in the abdomen and lower back,
blurred vision, shortness of breath, loss of coordination, confusion, irregular heartbeat, cyanosis (causes blue coloring
of the skin and nails from lack of oxygen), high blood sugar, visual impairment (including blindness), coma, and
death.
Target Organ Effects
This material (or a component) shortens the time of onset or worsens the liver and kidney damage induced by
other chemicals. Exposure to lethal concentrations of methanol has been shown to cause damage to organs
including liver, kidneys, pancreas, heart, lungs and brain. Although this rarely occurs, survivors of severe
intoxication may suffer from permanent neurological damage. Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to
damage to many organ systems having effects on: central and peripheral nervous systems, vision, hearing, liver,
kidneys, heart and blood. Such abuse has been associated with brain damage characterized by disturbances in
gait, personality changes and loss of memory. Comparable central nervous system effects have not been shown to
result from occupational exposure to toluene. Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to hearing loss
progressing to deafness. In addition, while noise is known to cause hearing loss in humans, it has been suggested
that workers exposed to organic solvents, including toluene, along with noise may suffer greater hearing loss than
would be expected from exposure to noise alone. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been
suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals: mild, reversible kidney effects, blood
abnormalities, liver abnormalities, respiratory tract damage (nose, throat and airways), effects on hearing, central
nervous system damage. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the
following effects in humans: kidney damage, visual impairment.
Developmental Information
Toluene may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test results with laboratory animals. Case studies
show that prolonged intentional abuse of toluene during pregnancy can cause birth defects in humans. Methanol
has caused birth defects in laboratory animals, but only when inhaled at extremely high vapor concentrations. The
relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain.
Cancer Information
Based on the available information, this material cannot be classified with regard to carcinogenicity. This material
is not listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the National Toxicology
Program, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Other Health Effects
No data
Primary Route(s) of Entry
Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye contact, Ingestion.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes gently with
water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate medical attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Swallowing
Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth; place individual on
the left side with the head down. Contact a physician, medical facility, or poison control center for advice about
whether to induce vomiting. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
W5700 2
Inhalation
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical
attention.
Note to Physicians
Inhalation of high concentrations of this material, as could occur in enclosed spaces or during deliberate abuse,
may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias in persons
exposed to this material. This product contains methanol which can cause intoxication and central nervous system
depression. Methanol is metabolized to formic acid and formaldehyde. These metabolites can cause metabolic
acidosis, visual disturbances and blindness. Since metabolism is required for these toxic symptoms, their onset
may be delayed from 6 to 30 hours following ingestion. Ethanol competes for the same metabolic pathway and has
been used to prevent methanol metabolism. Ethanol administration is indicated in symptomatic patients or at blood
methanol concentrations above 20 ug/dl. Methanol is effectively removed by hemodialysis. Fomepizole (4-
methylpyrazole) is an effective antagonist of alcohol dehydrogenase, and as such, may be used as an antidote in
the treatment of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and methanol poisoning. This material is an aspiration hazard.
Potential danger from aspiration must be weighed against possible oral toxicity (See Section 3 - Swallowing) when
deciding whether to induce vomiting. This material (or a component) has produced hyperglycemia and ketosis
following substantial ingestion. Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated
by exposure to this material: skin, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), liver, kidney, central nervous system,
pancreas, heart, blood-forming system, male reproductive system, auditory system. Exposure to this material may
aggravate any preexisting condition sensitive to a decrease in available oxygen, such as chronic lung disease,
coronary artery disease or anemias. Individuals with preexisting heart disorders may be more susceptible to
arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) if exposed to high concentrations of this material.

Fire and Explosion Hazards
Material is highly volatile and readily gives off vapors which may travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation
and ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors, static discharge, or other ignition
sources at locations distant from material handling point. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even
empty) because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively.
Extinguishing Media
regular foam, water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operated in the positive pressure demand mode
with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment. Refer to the personal
protective equipment section of this MSDS.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
W5700 3
Small Spill
Eliminate all sources of ignition such as flares, flames (including pilot lights), and electrical sparks. Absorb liquid on
vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent material. Persons not wearing proper personal protective equipment
should be excluded from area of spill.
Large Spill
Prevent run-off to sewers, streams or other bodies of water. If run-off occurs, notify proper authorities as required,
that a spill has occurred. Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until
clean-up has been
completed. Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks).
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
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 the data sheet must be observed. All five-gallon pails
and larger metal containers, including tank cars and tank trucks, should be grounded and/or bonded when material
is transferred. Precautions during use: avoid prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact with this material. Skin
contact can be minimized by wearing impervious protective gloves. As with all products of this nature, good
personal hygiene is essential. Hands and other exposed areas should be washed thoroughly with soap and water
after contact, especially before eating and/or smoking. Regular laundering of contaminated clothing is essential to
reduce indirect skin contact with this material. Hydrocarbon solvents are basically non-conductors of electricity and
can become electrostatically charged during mixing, filtering or pumping at high flow rates. If this charge reaches a
sufficiently high level, sparks can form that may ignite the vapors or mists from process equipment operating at
elevated temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without
the presence of obvious ignition sources. Published 鈥渁uto ignition鈥? or 鈥渋gnition鈥? temperature values cannot be
treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the actual process conditions. Any
use of this product in elevated temperature processes should be thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain
safe operating conditions.
Storage
Do not store near extreme heat, open flame, or sources of ignition.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHS regulations are advised; however, OSHA regulations also
permit other type safety glasses. Consult your safety representative.
Skin Protection
Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier). To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact,
wear impervious clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protections
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see exposure guidelines), a NIOSH/MSHA
approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also
permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your industrial
hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s).
