3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Colorless liquid, strong ammonia odor
DANGER!
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE.
CAUSES EYE AND SKIN BURNS. MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS.
HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN.
MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. Based on
single exposure animal tests, it is considered to be slightly toxic if swallowed, no more than moderately toxic if
absorbed through skin, practically non-toxic if inhaled, severely irritating to corrosive to eyes and corrosive to skin.
Exposure to vapor may be severely irritating to the respiratory tract. Temporary and reversible visual disturbances
characterized by mildly blurred vision, a blue-gray discolorization of sight (blue haze) or halo vision (appearance of a
halo when looking at light sources) may occur. Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure to this material
include lung disease or limited respiratory capacity.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
IF ON SKIN, immediately flush with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical
attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
IF SWALLOWED, do NOT induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Get medical attention immediately. NEVER
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
IF INHALED, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.

Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to products of combustion should wear full fire fighting turn out
gear (full Bunker Gear) and self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure demand NIOSH approved or
equivalent). Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
When burned, the following hazardous products of combustion can occur:
Oxides of carbon and nitrogen
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Extinguish or turn off all ignition sources. Ventilate the space involved. Wear appropriate personal protection
equipment as indicated in Section 8 of this MSDS. Contain spill with inert materials. Construct a dike to
prevent spreading. Collect with non-sparking tools to a suitable container. Prevent waterway contamination.
Absorb liquid onto inert absorbent and place in DOT approved drums for disposal. Consult a regulatory
specialist to determine appropriate state or local reporting requirements, for assistance in waste
characterization and/or hazardous waste disposal and other requirements listed in pertinent environmental
permits.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep container closed.
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Do not taste or swallow.
CONTAINER HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY. Emptied container retains vapor and product residue. Follow
labeled warnings even after container is emptied. RESIDUAL VAPORS MAY EXPLODE ON IGNITION. DO
NOT CUT, DRILL GRIND OR WELD ON OR NEAR THIS CONTAINER. Improper disposal or reuse of this
container may be dangerous and/or illegal.
Storage
The maximum recommended storage temperature for this material is 50 C or 122 F. Store in well
ventilated area away from heat and sources of ignition such as flame, sparks and static electricity. Ensure
that all storage and handling equipment is properly rated, grounded and installed to satisfy electrical
classification requirements. Static electricity may accumulate and create a fire hazard. All storage
containers, including containers such as drums, cylinders and IBC鈥檚, must be bonded and grounded during
filling and emptying operations. Store away from oxidizers and reactive materials. Keep container tightly
closed. Observe all federal, state and local regulations and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Codes which pertain to the specific local conditions of storage and use, including OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106
and NFPA 30, 70, 77, and 497.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures. Provide ventilation if necessary to minimize
exposures. If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as
open process equipment. Consult ACGIH ventilation manual or NFPA Standard 91 for design of exhaust
systems.
Eye / Face Protection
Where there is potential for eye contact, wear a face shield, chemical goggles, and have eye flushing
equipment immediately available.
Skin Protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant protective clothing and chemical resistant gloves to prevent skin
contact. Consult glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type glove material for given application.
Wear chemical goggles, a face shield, and chemical resistant clothing such as a rubber apron when
splashing may occur. Rinse immediately if skin is contaminated. Remove contaminated clothing promptly
and wash before reuse. Clean protective equipment before reuse. Provide a safety shower at any location
where skin contact can occur. Wash skin thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Where airborne exposure is likely, use NIOSH approved respiratory
protection equipment appropriate to the material and/or its components. Full facepiece equipment is
recommended and, if used, replaces need for face shield and/or chemical goggles. If exposures cannot be
kept at a minimum with engineering controls, consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type
equipment for given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer.
For emergency and other conditions where there may be a potential for significant exposure, use an
approved full face positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with
auxiliary self-contained air supply. Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 搂 1910.134.
