3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Caution: Combustible. Harmful if inhaled. Harmful or fatal if liquid is aspirated into lungs. Gross inhalation
overexposure may cause: Central nervous system depression with dizziness, confusion, incoordination,
drowsiness or unconsciousness or death. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid breathing
vapors. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. May cause delayed lung injury. This material is irritating
to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
HMIS Classification: Health: *1 Flammability: 3 Physical Hazard: 0
NFPA Rating: Health: 1 Flammability: 3 Reactivity: 0
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
and get medical attention immediately after flushing.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes, and launder before reuse. Get
medical attention if irritation persists.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment to prevent skin and eye contact.
Spill Procedures: Wear protective equipment specified.
Action to be taken if material is released Increase area ventilation. Remove sources of ignition. Leaking containers should be removed to an
or spilled: isolated, well-ventilated area and transferred to other suitable containers. Wipe, scrape or soak up in an
inert material and put in a container for disposal.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter sanitary drains, sewer or surface and subsurface waters.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling and Storage: Keep away from heat and open flame. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly
after handling. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid extreme temperatures. Wash hands before
eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Exhaust ventilation. Showers. Eyewash stations.
Eyes: Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect against exposure. Chemical goggles; also wear a face shield if
splashing hazard exists.
Skin Protection: Avoid skin contact. Wear protective clothing and gloves. Neoprene coated apron or clothing. Nitrile
coated apron or clothing.
Respiratory Protection: Use an approved NIOSH organic vapor respirator below the TLV. If TLV is exceeded or overexposure is
likely, use positive pressure or self contained breathing apparatus.
