Special Firefighting Procedures:
Handle as flammable liquid, cool fire-exposed containers with water spray. Fire fighters wear self-contained breathing
apparatus. Fight like a fuel oil fire.
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards:
If fire occurs in close proximity to stored packaged product and closed containers are exposed to high temperatures
such as fire conditions there is a possibility of violent rupture.

Section 6 - Health Hazard Data
Routes of Entry: Inhalation Skin Ingestion
YES/Primary YES/Primary YES/Secondary
Health Hazards:
Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Irritant if contact with eyes, open or abraded skin. Severe overexposure can cause
headache, dizziness and narcosis.
Carcinogenicity: NTP IARC OSHA Regulated
NO NO NO
Signs And Symptoms of Exposure:
INGESTION: Could be harmful or fatal if swallowed. INHALATION: Will cause irritation of mucous membranes,
nose, eyes, throat, coughing, difficulty of breathing. Exposure to high vapor concentration may cause headache,
dizziness, nausea, narcosis. SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged contact causes common solvent defatting effect. Will
cause irritation of open or abraded skin. EYE CONTACT: Vapors slightly uncomfortable, splashes irritating. Will
cause painful burning or stinging of eyes and lids, watering of eyes and inflammation of conjunctiva.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure:
See Exposure
Emergency And First Aid Procedures:
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, dilute by giving two glasses of water. Call a physician
immediately. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air; if not breathing, give artificial respiration preferably mouth to
mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician. SKIN CONTACT: Wash affected skin area with soapy
water. Remove contaminated clothing. EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15
minutes. Consult a physician.

Section 7 - Precautions For Safe Handling And Use:
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled:
Eliminate all sources of ignition. Cover the spill with inert absorbents like vermiculite or sand. Gather absorbed mass
and dispose of with solid waste according to federal, state and local regulations. Flush the spill area with water,
avoiding flushing into confined areas.
Waste Disposal Method:
For large quantities, disposal method should conform with federal, state and local regulations.
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing:
Keep away from extreme heat, open flame, or other sources of ignition. Do not store above 100掳 F.
Other Precautions:
Use normal good personal hygiene
Section 8 - Control Measures:
Respiratory Protection:
In confined spaces or other circumstances where adequate ventilation cannot be assured use NIOSH-approved
respirator, positive pressure airline mask, or self contained breathing apparatus.

If dried material is sanded, or if possibility of dust exists during operation, it is recommended that a
Clothing:
NIOSH approved respirator be used. IARC has concluded that there is sufficient evidence for the
carcinogenicity of crystalline silica to experimental animals and limited evidence with respect to
humans.
Work/Hygienic Practices Wash thoroughly after handling.
