Section 3 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Small amount is not expected to cause any emergency condition.
HEALTH EFFECTS (Acute and Chronic exposures)
Vapors from elevated temperatures may cause respiratory irritation, harmful if aspirated into lungs.
Nose
May be harmful if swallowed. Possible irritation, nausea, or diarrhea.
Mouth
Minimal irritation, tearing, reddening, or swelling. Avoid prolonged contact.
Eyes
May irritate skin. Avoid long-term contact. Prolonged contact may result in defatting, drying which
Skin
may lead to irritation, dermatitis, allergic reaction. If injected under skin, necrosis could result.
Chronic Not available
ROUTE OF ENTRY Skin contact, inhalation, eye contact.
TARGET ORGANS, MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE Preexisting eye disorders, chronic
respiratory disease, dermatitis could be aggravated by exposure to this type of product or increased symptoms due to
irritation.
Section 4 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
NOTE If irritation persists after any kind of exposure, get medical help.
Vapors are not likely to injure, unless the product is heated. Get to fresh air if symptoms
Breathing
appear. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration and get medical attention.
Get Medical Help at once. Do not induce vomiting. Drink milk or water to dilute substance.
Eating
Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
Eye Contact
contact lenses. Hold eyelids open to irrigate fully. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Wash
contaminated clothing before re-use. If irritation persists, or if contact has been prolonged,
get medical attention.
Medical Notes Treat symptomatically

Section 5 鈥? FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (estimated) ............< 0掳 F (-17掳 C) Flammable Limits......LEL = 0.7 % ......UEL = 6.1 %
Autoignition temperature ..........ND
Flashpoint and Flammability limits are based on propellant components.
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE PROPELLANT VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE
Extinguishing Media Alcohol-type foam, or all-purpose-type foam, for large fires. Carbon dioxide or dry chemical
for small fires.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures Cool exposed containers with water. Do not direct a solid stream of water or
foam into hot, burning pools; this may cause frothing and increase fire intensity. Firefighters should wear full bunker
gear, self-contained, positive-pressure breathing apparatus, and protective clothing.
Sensitivity to mechanical impact None
Sensitivity to static discharge (ESD) As with all compressed gas spray cans, high sensitivity to being a source of
ESD. And as with combustible aerosols, high sensitivity to ignition from ESD. Static-electric sparks could ignite
accumulated vapors. Use caution where static-electric sparks can occur, such as around spinnerettes and extrusion
dies. Ensure enough ventilation to avoid accumulation of spray or vapor, especially when spraying where there is an
enclosure that would otherwise let vapors accumulate.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Streams of water are likely to spread fire. Use water spray only to cool
containers. Stable at ambient temperatures and pressures. Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to
heat. At elevated temperatures (>120o F / >49o F), pressurized containers may vent or rupture. Use equipment or
shielding to protect personnel against rupturing or venting containers. Cooling with water streams may be helpful.
Section 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate area to reduce
concentration of the components below their exposure limits. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
according to the conditions, such as respirator and protective clothing. Small spills can be collected or absorbed with
appropriate absorbing materials. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand, or other suitable material;
store in closed containers for proper disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace residues, but do not let product
or contaminated water get to drains, sewers, or rainfall. All spill response should be carried out in accordance with
Federal, State, County/Provincial, and local requirements.
Section 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in Storage Eliminate open flames and other sources of ignition from the storage area.
Observe applicable fire codes. Store in accordance with good industrial practices. These include store in cool, dry
area out of direct sunlight (below 120潞 F, 49潞 C). Do not puncture or burn containers.
Handling As with all chemical products, thoroughly wash after handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco
products.
Maintenance Precautions Note: may cause swelling of gaskets and valves of some conventional materials. Viton
and Neoprene are better choices for gaskets than Butyl or Buna. Valves and containers should have an epoxy
coating. Do not remove or deface label. Keep container closed.
Other Precautions As per any petroleum-based products, read and follow directions and cautions on the container
label. Give empty, leaking, or full containers to a disposal service equipped to handle and dispose of pressurized
containers. Read and follow directions and cautions on the container label, and any accompanying literature.
Section 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation Usually not specifically required. No local exhaust required, usually. General (mechanical) room
ventilation may be adequate to maintain product and its components below TLV/PEL, if handled at ambient
temperatures or in covered equipment. Local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls may be required, if
ambient temperatures are exceeded or if used in operations that may produce mist, aerosol, or vapor. Also maintain
enough ventilation to prevent fire/flash hazard from local accumulation of vapors, especially near sources of high heat,
electric arcs or static-electric sparks.
Respiratory Protection Usually none required if adequate ventilation is provided. If personnel exposure exceeds
exposure limit at any time, select respiratory protection equipment in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134. NIOSH
approved atmosphere-supplying respirator or a NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge
and dust/mist pre-filter is recommended.
Protective Gloves To avoid long-term or repeated contact, wear solvent-resistant gloves: natural rubber, neoprene,
nitrile (NBR), and butyl are recommended materials.
Other Protective Equipment If contact with the spray is likely, eye protection is recommended. Goggles, safety
glasses with side shields or a face shield will provide protection in most situations.

Section 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTION (continued)
Other Engineering Controls To determine exposure levels, monitoring should be performed. Eye bath and safety
shower station should be available.
Work Practices Avoid long-term or repeated contact. Stained clothing should be removed and laundered before re-
use. Release of vapor from process equipment at elevated temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into
hot equipment, may result in ignition without the presence of obvious ignition sources. Autoignition temperature
values cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the actual process
conditions. Use of this product at an elevated temperature must be thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain
safe operating conditions. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear chemical goggles if there is likelihood of contact. Avoid
prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wear chemical resistant gloves and other clothing as required to minimize
contact. Ventilation should maintain the concentration of the components below their TLV/PEL values.
Hygienic Practices Avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing vapors. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area.
Wash hands before eating, drinking, or using restroom after using this or any chemical product. Launder
contaminated clothing before reuse. After using any chemical product, wash thoroughly before eating or smoking.
