Exposure:
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
General: After adequate first aid, no further treatment is required unless symptoms reappear., If you
feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible).
Inhalation: If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air immediately. Give oxygen or artificial
respiration as needed. Obtain emergency medical attention. Prompt action is essential.
Eye: Thoroughly flush the eyes with large amounts of clean low-pressure water for at least 15
minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. If irritation persists, seek medical
attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing as needed. Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and
water. Flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If sticky, use waterless cleaner first.

Ingestion: If large quantity swallowed, give lukewarm water (pint/ 1/2 litre) if victim completely
conscious/alert. Do not induce vomiting. Risk of damage to lungs exceeds poisoning risk.

SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability OSHA/NFPA Class IIIB combustible liquid.
Classification:
Flash Point / Method: ~ 75 掳C(167 掳F)(TCC)
Auto-Ignition
Temperature: No Data Available.
Flammable Limits: LOWER: No Data Available.
UPPER: No Data Available.
Hazardous
Combustion Carbon Monoxide and other toxic vapors.
Products:
Special Conditions to Heat from fire can generate flammable vapor. When mixed with air and exposed to ignition
Avoid: source, vapors can burn in open or explode if confined. Flammable vapors may be heavier
than air and travel long distances along the ground before igniting and flashing back to
vapor source. Fine sprays/mists may be combustible at temperatures below normal flash
point.
Extinguishing Media: Suitable: SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. LARGE
FIRE: Use water spray, water fog or regular foam. Do not use straight streams.
Unsuitable: Do not use solid water stream.
Fire Fighting Protective Equipment/Clothing: Wear an approved positive pressure self-contained
Instructions: breathing apparatus and firefighter turnout gear. Structural firefighters protective clothing
will only provide limited protection.
INSTRUCTIONS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or
monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is
out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or
discoloration of tank. Always stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use
unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw form area and
let fire burn.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Release Response: Eliminate all sources of ignition. All equipment used when handling this product must be
grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without
risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor
suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or
other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Use clean non-sparking tools to
collect absorbed material.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage: Store only in tightly closed, properly vented containers away from heat, sparks, open flame
and strong oxidizing agents. Storage under nitrogen atmosphere is recommended to
minimize possible formation of highly reactive peroxides. Store in properly lined
steel/stainless steel to avoid slight discoloration from mild steel/copper. Aluminum (5000
series alloys - U.S. Aluminum Association Standard) showed no corrosion after 30 days
contact with ARCOSOLV庐 PM Acetate, ARCOSOLV庐 DPM, TPM, PTB, or PM at 71掳C
(160掳F). Some plastics/rubbers are attacked by Glycol Ethers/Ether Esters. This product
will absorb water if exposed to air.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Local exhaust in addition to general room ventilation may be required to meet exposure
Controls: limit(s).
Personal Protection:
Inhalation: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 or ANSI Z88.2
requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use. If
exposure can exceed the occupational exposure limit(s), use approved respiratory
protection equipment.
Skin: Wear chemical resistant gloves such as: Butyl rubber. or Nitrile. Depending on the
conditions of use, protective gloves, apron, boots, head and face protection should be
worn.
Eye: Use splash goggles when eye contact due to splashing or spraying liquid is possible.
Other Hygienic Selection of appropriate personal protective equipment should be based on an evaluation
Practices: of the performance characteristics of the protective equipment relative to the tasks(s) to be
performed, conditions present, duration of use, and the hazards and/or potential hazards
that may be encountered during use. Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers
should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure.
Recommended Work
Practices Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or
using toilet facilities. Promptly remove soiled clothing/wash thoroughly before reuse.
