2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Route of Entry: Absorbed through skin. Skin contact. Eye contact. Inhalation. Ingestion.
Target Organs: None.
Inhalation: Inhalation of the vapors may cause dizziness, nausea, or anaesthetic effects. The product is a
severe irritant for lungs and respiratory tract. Severe over-exposure can result in death.
Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation. Permeator (absorbed through intact skin).

Emergency Overview
DANGER!
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR, VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE. HARMFUL IF INHALED OR
SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION.
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Potential Chronic Health Effects: Long term skin contact to solvents may produce defatting of the skin and dermatitis. Over-
exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation. Inhalation of vapors may cause dizziness, an irregular heartbeat, narcosis, nausea
or asphyxiation. Severe over-exposure can result in death.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Preexisting eye and skin disorders.
Overexposure/Signs/Symptoms: Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is
characterized by itching, scaling, reddening. Inhalation of vapors may cause dizziness, an irregular heartbeat, narcosis, nausea or
asphyxiation.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash contaminated skin with soap and water. If the product got onto the clothed portion of the
body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible. Place the victim under a deluge
shower.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. If irritation occurs, seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least
15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. Aspiration into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis. Have
conscious person drink several glasses of water or milk. Seek immediate medical attention.
Notes to Physician: Sudden death due to ventricular fibrillation has been reported from acute inhalation in chronic solvent abusers.
Treat patient supportively. Life support measures should be provided because CNS depression cardiopulmonary failure, and metabolic
acidosis have been reported in massive overexposures.

5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: -11.1掳C (12 掳F)
Flash Point Method: CLOSED CUP
Autoignition Temperature: The lowest known value is 225掳C (437掳F) (Light hydrotreated distillate).
LEL: 2%
UEL: 13%
Flammability Classification: Flammable.
Products of Combustion: These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2).
Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances: Highly flammable in presence of open flames and sparks, of heat. Slightly
flammable in presence of oxidizing materials, of reducing materials, of combustible materials. Non-flammable in presence of
moisture.
Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances: Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact:
Not available. Risks of explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: Not available. Slightly explosive to explosive
in presence of oxidizing materials.
Fire Fighting Media and Instructions: Flammable liquid.
SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder.
LARGE FIRE: Use alcohol foam, water spray or fog.
Special Remarks on Fire Hazards: Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Container
explosion may occur under fire conditions or when heated. All electrical equipment in the spray area must be rated for
flammable liquids. [Dispensing - Class I, Division 1 / Storage area rated Class I, Division 2] When dispensing, bond and
ground all containers.
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards: All electrical equipment in the spray area must be rated for flammable liquids.
[Dispensing - Class I, Division 1 / Storage area rated Class I, Division 2] When dispensing, bond and ground all containers.
Protective Clothing (Fire): Fire fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full
turnout gear.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill and Leak: Absorb with an inert material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
Large Spill and Leak: Flammable liquid. Evacuate personnel to a safe area. Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if without risk.
Ventilate area. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled
material in an appropriate waste disposal container. Do not use metal tools or equipment.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Precautions: Handling: To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding
and bonding
containers and equipment before transferring material. Use explosion-proof electrical
(ventilating,
lighting and material handling) equipment. After handling, always wash hands thoroughly
with soap and water.
Storage Requirements: Storage: Flammable materials should be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or
room. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep container tightly
closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Ground all equipment containing material.
Keep out of reach of children.

8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne
Engineering Controls:
concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that
eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location.
Protective Equipment: Splash goggles or safety glasses with side shields, synthetic apron gloves (Viton,
nitrile, or neoprene). In case of insufficient ventilation, wear an approved (NIOSH)
respirator with organic vapor cartridges with dust/mist pre-filter.
