nervous system. Contains material which may cause liver and kidney effects.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
Primary entry route(s):
Skin, skin absorption, eyes, ingestion and inhalation.
Target organs:
Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, digestive system.
Effects of short-term (acute) exposure:
Inhalation: Inhalation may cause marked eye and respiratory irritation. Symptoms may include headache, nausea,
dizziness, drowsiness and other symptoms of central nervous system depression.
Skin: Direct skin contact may cause mild to moderate irritation. Product may be absorbed and cause symptoms central
nervous system depression.

SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Continued
Conditions aggravated by exposure: Carcinogenic status:
Pre-existing skin, eye, respiratory, liver and kidney disorders. See TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION, Section 11.
Additional health hazards: Potential environmental effects:
Skin sensitizer! For further information, see TOXICOLOGICAL See ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION (Section 12).
INFORMATION, Section 11.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If inhaled, immediately remove victim to fresh air. Obtain medical attention.
Skin contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes, while removing contaminated
clothing. Obtain medical attention.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with running water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: If ingested, DO NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth if patient is unconscious. Seek medical
attention.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire hazards/conditions of flammability:
Combustible liquid and vapor. This material may be ignited by heat, flame and other sources of ignition. Vapors are heavier than
air and will collect in confined and low-lying areas. The vapors may travel considerable distances. Closed containers may
rupture if exposed to excess heat or flame, due to a build-up of internal pressure.
Flammability classification (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200):
Class IIIA Combustible Liquid.
Flash point (Method): Lower flammable limit (% by volume): Upper flammable limit (% by volume):
59oC / 138oF (Closed Cup) 0.6 14
Auto-ignition temperature: Hazardous combustion products:
N/Av Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other toxic vapors and gases that are
common to thermal degradation of organic compounds.
Sensitivity to mechanical impact: Sensitivity to static discharge:
N/Av May be sensitive to static discharge.
Suitable extinguishing media:
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, appropriate foam and water fog.
Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment:
Firefighters should wear proper chemically protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus. Move containers
from fire area if it can be done without risk. Use water to cool fire exposed containers. After fires have been extinguished,
carefully clean all equipment and surfaces exposed to fumes.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions:
Wear personal protective equipment during cleanup. Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. All persons dealing
with clean-up should wear the appropriate protective equipment, especially where exposure to vapor, dust or fume is possible.
Refer to Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION, for additional information on acceptable personal
protective equipment.
Spill response/Cleanup:
Ventilate area of spill or release. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Contain material, preventing it from entering sewer lines or
waterways. Use inert, non-combustible absorbents to absorb any spilled material, then place into a container for disposal. Use
non-sparking tools. Clean spill area contaminated with residual material, while still wet, with warm soapy water. Contaminated
absorbent material may pose the same hazards as the product. Notify the appropriate authorities as required.
Environmental precautions:
Do not allow material to be discharged into the atmosphere or into sewers or ground water.
Special spill response procedures:
If a spill/release in excess of EPA reportable quantity is made into the environment, immediately notify the national response
center in the United States (phone: 1-800-424-8002).
DOT/CERCLA Reportable quantity (RQ): None to report.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Safe handling procedures:
COMBUSTIBLE AND HARMFUL MATERIAL. Wear suitable chemically protective equipment. Use only in well-ventilated area.
Training the workers on the potential health hazards associated with product vapor or fume is important. Secondary
inhalation exposures could occur when cleaning equipment, or when removing or laundering the clothing. Avoid breathing
fumes or mists. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Ground equipment during
handling. Keep away from oxidizing agents. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage requirements:
Store in a cool (temperature below 32.2oC / 90oF), dry, well-ventilated area. No smoking in the area. Storage area should be
clearly identified, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained and authorized personnel. Protect from damage.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls:
Use with natural cross-ventilation, local exhaust ventilation and/or general area (mechanical) ventilation to meet TLV
requirements. Ventilation patter must remove the heavier-than-air solvent vapors from the lower levels of the work spaces.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is required if the airborne concentration exceeds the TLV. NIOSH / MSHA -
approved respirators, approved for organic vapors, are recommended.
Skin protection and other protective equipment: Impervious gloves appropriate to the material, are required. Advice should be
sought from glove suppliers. Where extensive exposure to product is possible, use resistant coveralls, apron and boots to
prevent contact. An eyewash fountain and safety shower must be made available in the immediate working area.
Eye / face protection: Wear protective chemical safety goggles.
Permissible exposure levels:
For individual ingredient exposure levels, see Section 2.
General Hygiene Considerations:
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not breathe fumes or mists. Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Clean
all equipment and clothing at end of each work shift.
