Conditions
Aggravated by This material or its emissions may aggravate existing kidney, urethra, and/or bladder
Exposure: disease.
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.
Seek medical attention if ill effect or irritation develops.
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.
Obtain emergency medical attention.
Physician's
Detoxification Treat symptomatically. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of
Procedures: symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability OSHA/NFPA Class IIIB combustible liquid.
Classification:
Flash Point / Method: > 93 掳C(200 掳F)(PMCC)
Auto-Ignition
Temperature: No Data Available.
Flammable Limits: LOWER: No Data Available.
UPPER: No Data Available.
Hazardous
Combustion Incomplete combustion will form 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. May travel long distances along
the ground before igniting and flashing back to vapor source. Vapors may be heavier than
air. 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.

ARCOSOLV庐 TPM Version No: 1.1
Validation Date: 01/14/2002
Unsuitable: Do not use solid water stream.
Fire Fighting Protective Equipment/Clothing: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing
Instructions: apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters protective clothing will only provide limited
protection.
INSTRUCTIONS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or
monitor nozzles. Move containers form fire area if you can do it without risk. 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.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Release Response: Eliminate all sources of ignition. 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.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: It is recommended that any liquid product exposed to air not be highly concentrated by
evaporation without first assuring that no peroxide is present. Alternately, positive steps
should be taken to reduce any accumulated peroxides to a safe level before concentrating
the liquid. Properly ground containers before beginning transfer. Use only non-sparking
tools. All equipment must conform to applicable electrical code. Wear recommended
personal protective equipment. Handle empty containers with care. Observe precautions
pertaining to confined space entry. Flammable/combustible residue remains after
emptying. Isolate, vent, drain, wash and purge systems or equipment before maintenance
or repair.
Storage: Store only in tightly closed, properly vented containers away from heat, sparks, open flame
and strong oxidizing agents. Store in properly lined steel/stainless steel to avoid slight
discoloration from mild steel/copper. Storage under nitrogen atmosphere is recommended
to minimize possible formation of highly reactive peroxides. 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 No special ventilation is recommended under anticipated conditions of normal use beyond
Controls: that needed for normal comfort control.
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. The equipment must be cleaned thoroughly after each use.
Eye: Eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield must be worn when

possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying liquid, airborne particles, or
vapor.
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 task(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.
Shower after work using plenty of soap and water.
