HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Potential Health Effects
Short-term overexposure by inhalation may cause central
nervous system depression with dizziness, confusion,
incoordination, drowsiness or unconsciousness. Repeated
and/or prolonged exposure may cause suffocation, if air is
displaced by vapors, irregular heart beat with a strange
sensation in the chest, "heart thumping", apprehension,
lightheadedness, feeling of fainting, dizziness, weakness,
sometimes progressing to loss of consciousness and death.
Short-term overexposure by skin contact may cause defatting
of the skin with itching, redness or rash. Significant skin
permeation, and systemic toxicity, after contact appears
unlikely.
Short-term overexposure by eye contact may cause irritation
with tearing, pain or blurred vision.
The major ingestion hazard is aspiration (liquid entering
the lungs during ingestion or vomiting) which may result in
"chemical pneumonia". Symptoms include coughing, gasping,
choking, shortness of breath, bluish discoloration of the
skin, rapid breathing and heart rate, and fever. Pulmonary
edema or bleeding, drowsiness, confusion, coma and seizures
may occur in more serious cases. Symptoms may develop
immediately or as late as 24 hours after exposure, depending
on how much chemical entered the lungs.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as a carcinogen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First Aid
INHALATION
If inhaled, immediately remove to fresh air. Keep person
calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT
Flush skin with water after contact. Wash contaminated
clothing before reuse.
EYE CONTACT
2024FR DuPont Page 3
Material Safety Data Sheet
(FIRST AID MEASURES - Continued)
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2
glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Call a physician.
Notes to Physicians
Activated charcoal mixture may be beneficial. Suspend 50 g
activated charcoal in 400 mL water and mix well. Administer
5 mL/kg, or 350 mL for an average adult.
Because of the danger of aspiration, emesis or gastric
lavage should not be employed unless the risk is justified
by the presence of additional toxic substances. Activated
charcoal may be given but should be used with caution since
it may induce vomiting.
THIS MATERIAL MAY MAKE THE HEART MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
ARRHYTHMIAS. Catecholamines such as adrenaline, and other
compounds having similar effects, should be reserved for
emergencies and then used only with special caution.
Skin discomfort caused by de-fatting after contact with
certain solvents may be relieved by application of emollient
creams or lotions.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flammable Properties
Flash Point : Will not burn
Autodecomposition : 300 C (572 F)
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Drums may rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition may
occur.
Extinguishing Media
As appropriate for combustibles in area.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Use water spray or fog to cool container. Self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required if drums rupture and
contents are spilled under fire conditions.

Material Safety Data Sheet
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeguards (Personnel)
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area. Do not flush into sewers. Dike spill.
Collect on absorbent material and transfer to steel drums
for recovery or disposal. Use self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) for large spills. Comply with Federal,
State, and local regulations on reporting releases.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling (Personnel)
Avoid breathing vapors and prolonged skin exposure. Use
with sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below
recommended limits.
Storage
Clean, dry area. Do not heat above 125 deg F.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Controls
Normal ventilation for standard use procedures is generally
adequate. Local exhaust should be used when large amounts
are released. Mechanical ventilation should be used in low
or enclosed places.
Personal Protective Equipment
Impervious gloves should be used to avoid prolonged or
repeated exposure. Chemical splash goggles should be worn
as needed to prevent eye contact. Under normal use
conditions, no respiratory protection is required when using
this product. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is
required if a large spill occurs.
