SECTION 3: HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry:
Inhalation: Yes Skin: Yes Ingestion: Accidental
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): Harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Causes irritation to skin, eyes, and
respiratory tract. Affects central nervous system.
DOCUMENT NO.: 14006 805-FRM011
Denex 2000 MSDS # MGM067A
Carcinogenicity: NTP: Not listed
IARC Monographs: Not listed
OSHA Regulated: Not listed
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
INHALATION: Inhalation of vapors irritates the respiratory tract. May cause coughing, dizziness, dullness, and
headache. Higher concentrations can produce central nervous system depression, narcosis, and unconsciousness.
EYE CONTACT: Vapors are irritating to the eyes. Splashes may cause severe irritation, with stinging, tearing,
redness and pain.
SKIN CONTACT: Irritating due to defatting action on skin. Causes redness, pain, drying and cracking of the skin.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may produce severe irritation or dermatitis.
INGESTION: Swallowing small amounts is not likely to produce harmful effects. Ingestion of larger amounts may
produce abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Aspiration into lungs can produce severe lung damage and is a
medical emergency. Other symptoms are expected to be similar to those expected from inhalation.
Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Use of alcoholic beverages enhances toxic effects. Exposure
may increase the toxic potential of chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chloroform, trichloroethane.
SECTION 4: EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids
occasionally. Get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
INGESTION: Aspiration hazard. If swallowed, vomiting may occur spontaneously, but do not induce vomiting. If
vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Call a physician immediately.
SECTION 5: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point (Method Used): -4掳F (20掳C) Closed Cup (for Acetone)
Flammable limits: LEL: 2.5 UEL: 12.8 (for Acetone)
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, alcohol foam or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. Water spray may
be used to keep fire exposed containers cool, dilute spills to nonflammable mixtures, protect personnel attempting
to stop leak and disperse vapors.

DOCUMENT NO.: 14006 805-FRM011
Denex 2000 MSDS # MGM067A
Special Firefighting Procedures: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-
contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure
mode.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Above flash point, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limits
noted above for Acetone. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back. Contact with
strong oxidizers may cause fire. Sealed containers may rupture when heated. This material may produce a floating
fire hazard. Sensitive to static discharge.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled: Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of
ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tool and
equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material and place in a chemical waste
container. Do not use combustible materials such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer. If a leak or spill has not
ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills
away from exposures.
SECTION 7: EXPOSURE CONTROLS -- PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: If the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face organic vapor respirator may be worn for up
to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or
respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece organic vapor respirator may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-
face piece positive-pressure, air supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Ventilation: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the
airborne exposure limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of
the contaminate at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
Protective Gloves: Wear impervious gloves.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full faceshield where splashing is possible.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Work / Hygienic Practices: Maintain eyewash station and safety shower in work area. Use good industrial
hygiene practices. Wash hands after using and before eating, drinking, or smoking.

SECTION 8: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry, well-
ventilated location, away from any area where the fire hazard may be acute. Separate from incompatibles.
Other Precautions: Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static spark. Storage and
use areas should be 鈥淣o Smoking鈥? areas. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they
retain product residue.
