SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
***EMERGENCY OVERVIEW***
WARNING! COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR.
CAUSES EYE, SKIN, NOSE AND THROAT IRRITATION.
Potential Health Effects
Acute Effects (Short Term):
Eye: Contact with liquid or vapor may result in irritation, redness, tearing,
and blurred vision.
Skin: May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may
dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying and
cracking of skin, and skin burns.
Swallowing: Ingestion of this material may cause gastrointestinal irritation,
nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Aspiration of this material into the
lungs due to vomiting may produce chemical pneumonitis which
can be fatal.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Date Prepared: 04/19/04 Page: 2
Lite Weight MSDS Number: 120002
Inhalation: Excessive inhalation of vapors may cause nasal and respiratory
irritation, acute nervous system depression, fatigue, weakness,
nausea, headache, and dizziness. Symptoms usually occur at air
concentrations higher than the recommended exposure limits (See
Section 8).
Chronic Effects of Overexposure (Long Term):
Styrene: Excessive overexposure to styrene has been found to cause the
following effects in humans and may aggravate pre-existing
disorders of these organs; central nervous system effects, effects
on hearing, mild effects on color vision and respiratory tract
damage.
Cancer Information: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
classified styrene as a group 2B carcinogen (possibly carcinogenic to humans).
This classification is not based on evidence that styrene may be carcinogenic,
but rather on a revised definition for Group 2B, and consideration of new data on
styrene oxide(Group 2A). This material may contain trace amounts of chemicals
considered to be carcinogenic by OSHA, (1,3- Butadiene- IARC Group 2A and
Benzene- IARC Group1).
Other Health Effects: NOTICE: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged
occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system
damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the
contents may be harmful or fatal.
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation, Skin contact, Eye contact, Ingestion,
Skin absorption.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and
water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder
clothing before reuse.
Swallowing: Consult a physician or poison control center immediately. DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not
give anything by mouth; place individual on the left side with the
head down. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
Inhalation: If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from
exposure and into fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention;
keep person warm and quiet. If person is not breathing, begin
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be benificial
if administered by trained personnel.

SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: 106 潞F (41 潞C)
Explosive Limit: Lower: 1.1% Upper: 6.1%
Autoignition Temperature: 914.0 潞F (490.0 潞C)
OSHA Flammability Class: Combustible Liquid 鈥? Class II
Hazardous Products of Combustion: May form: carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, styrene oxide, and various hydrocarbons.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along
the ground or may be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, other
flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors, static discharge, or
other ignition sources at locations distant from material handling point.
Extinguishing Media: Regular foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers
cool until fire is out. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus NIOSH
approved with a full facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand
mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal
protective equipment.
NFPA Rating: Health - 2, Flammability - 3, Reactivity - 2
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill: Eliminate all sources of ignition such as flares, flames (including
pilot lights), and electrical sparks. Ventilate the area. Wear proper protective equipment
(Section 8). Avoid breathing vapors. Collect with an inert absorbant and dispose of
properly.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: All hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Do not breathe sanding dust, vapors or spray mist. Do not take
internally. Close container after each use. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage: Store material in a cool, well-ventilated area. For maximum product
quality, avoid prolonged storage at temperatures above 75掳F (25掳C). Do not use or
store near heat, sparks, or open flame. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with
incompatible materials.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are
recommended.
Skin Protection: Protective gloves and proper clothing should be worn to prevent
skin contact. Gloves should be made of neoprene or natural rubber.
A barrier cream may be used for additional skin protection. To
prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious
clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protection: Use a NIOSH approved respirator designed to remove
particulate matter and organic solvent vapors.
Engineering Controls: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust)
ventilation to maintain exposure below acceptable limits.
Explosion-proof ventilation system is acceptable.
