Section 3 -- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF ACUTE HAZARDS
Irritation to eyes, nose and throat; drowsiness, narcosis, tremors and
other CNS effects at high concentration.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
INHALATION
Nasal and respiratory irritation, dizziness, narcosis, headache, nausea,
CNS depression and unconsciousness.
EYE CONTACT
Watering, blurred vision, inflammation and irritation which can result in
corneal injury.
SKIN CONTACT
Irritation, dermatitis.
INGESTION
Nausea, vomiting; CNS depression; irritation of gastrointestinal tract,
liver and peritoneal wall; lung congestion.
SUMMARY OF CHRONIC HAZARDS
Skin irritation and dermatitis. Possible liver and kidney damage.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Individuals with pre-existing or chronic diseases of the eyes, skin,
respiratory system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, liver or
kidneys may have increased susceptibility to excessive exposures.
=============================================================================
Section 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If INHALED: 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.

If on SKIN: Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least
15 minutes. Get prompt medical attention.
If in EYES: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention.
If SWALLOWED: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce
vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Section 5 -- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASH POINT LEL UEL
150 F (65 C) SETA CC N/D N/D
EXTINGUSING MEDIA
Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or water fog.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and other protective clothing. Hazardous decomposition products
possible (see Section 10).
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Combustible - moderate flash point.
Vapors heavier than air and may travel along the ground or to low spots
at considerable distances to a source of ignition resulting in potential
flashback. Burning liquid may float on water. Heat may build up
pressure and rupture containers.
=============================================================================
Section 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Remove all
sources of ignition. Use absorbent materials to prevent footing hazard
and to contain. Ventilate area with natural or explosion-proof, forced
air ventilation. Avoid flushing into sewers, drains, waterways, and soil.
Wear protective clothing and respiratory protection during cleanup.
=============================================================================
Section 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Keep container closed and
upright when not in use. Do not store near heat, sparks, or open flames.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin or
clothing. Empty containers may contain residues; treat as if full and
observe all products precautions. Do not reuse empty containers.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
=============================================================================
Section 8 -- EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE): In confined poorly ventilated areas,
use NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying or supplied air purifying or
supplied air respirators.
VENTILATION - LOCAL EXHAUST: Acceptable
SPECIAL: Explosion-proof equipment.
MECHANICAL (GENERAL): Preferable
OTHER: N/A
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Wear rubber gloves.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z-87.1 or equivalent)
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Coveralls recommended.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Where use can result in skin contact, wash exposed
areas thoroughly before eating, drinking, smoking, or leaving work area.
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
