POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
INHALATION: High concentrations are irritating to the respiratory tract; may cause
headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and malaise.
SKIN: Brief contact may cause slight irritation; prolonged contact may cause moderate
irritation or dermatitis.
EYES: High vapor concentration or contact may cause irritation and discomfort.
INGESTION: May result in vomiting; aspiration of vomitus into the lungs must be avoided;
DO NOT induce vomiting. Minute amounts aspirated into the lungs can produce severe lung
injury, chemical pneumonitis, pulmonry edema or death.
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP? No IARC MONOGRAPHS? No OSHA REGULATED? No
4. First Aid Information
INHALATION: Remove affected person to fresh air; provide oxygen if breathing is difficult; if
affected person is not breathing, administer CPR and seek emergency medical attention.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing; wash affected area with soap and water; launder
contaminated clothing before reuse; if irritation persists, seek medical attention.
EYES: Check for and remove contact lenses. Flush eyes with clear running water for 15
minutes while holding eyelids open; if irritation persists, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: DO NOT induce vomiting; if vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below
hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into lungs; seek immediate medical attention. Vomiting
may be induced only under the supervision of a physician.

NFPA CLASS: II
GENERAL MEASURES: Product is considered combustible. Products of combustion include
compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, including carbon monoxide.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, water fog, dry chemical, chemical foam.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: firefighters must wear full facepiece self-contained
breathing apparatus in positive pressure mode. Do not use solid stream of water since
stream will scatter and spread fire. Fine water spray can be used to keep fire - exposed
containers cool.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Closed containers can explode due to buildup

of pressure when exposed to extreme heat. Do not use direct stream of water on pool fires
as product may reignite on water surface. Caution - Material is combustible!
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Smoke funes or vapors, oxides of carbon.
6. Accidental Release Measures
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: COMBUSTIBLE.
Evacuate and ventilate area; confine and absorb into absorbent; place material into
approved containers for disposal; for spills in excess of allowable limits (RQ) notify the
National Response Center (800) 424-8802; refer to CERCLA 40 CFR 302 and SARA Title III,
Section 313 40 CFR 372 for detailed instructions concerning reporting requirements. Do not
discharge into lakes, ponds, streams or public waters.
7. Handling and Storage
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: This material is combustible.
It should be stored in tightly closed containers in a cool, well ventilated area. Vapor may
form explosive mixtures in air. All sources of ignition should be controlled. This material
must be classified as FLAMMABLE by DOT if transported by vessel or aircraft. Refer to 49
CFR 173.120. Keep this and other chemicals out of reach of children. Avoid inhaling
concentrated fumes or vapors.
8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control
emissions near the source. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. Use
explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
RESPIRATORY ROTECTION: None required while threshold limits are kept below maxmum
allowable concentrations; if TWA exceeds limits, NIOSH approved respirator must be worn.
Refer to 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149 for complete regulations.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Neoprene buty or nitrile rubber gloves with cuffs.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical safety googles. Refer to 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN 166.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Safety eyewash station nearby.
WORK / HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Practice safe workplace habits. Minimize body contact with
this, as well as all chemicals in general.
