3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Signs & Symptoms of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure
Excessive vapor concentration in air, especially in confined spaces, may cause asphyxiation. Excessive inhalation of
vapors can cause nasal, throat and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and possible
unconsciousness. Eye contact causes irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision. Eye contact with liquid or vapor causes
severe irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision. Vapors may cause severe eye irritation, redness, tearing and blurred
vision. Prolonged skin contact may lead to extraction of natural oils with resultant dry skin, cracking, irritation and
dermatitis. Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Notice: intentional misuse by
deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents maybe harmful or fatal. Reports have associated repeated and
prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure
Health studies have shown that many solvents pose potential human health risks which may vary from person to person.
As a precaution, exposure to liquids and vapors should be minimized. Prolonged or continuous inhalation of vapors may
result in delayed lung damage. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of vapor may cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated
inhalation of vapor in high concentration can change the blood picture.
4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin
Wash with soap and water.
Eye
Flush with water for at least 15 minutes, consult a physician.
Inhalation
Move to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if necessary.

Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Do not drink water, milk or oil. Consult physician or poison control center immediately. Treat
symptomatically.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder.
Basic Fire Fighting Procedures
Water may be ineffective. Water should be used to cool containers exposed to fire. Fire fighting personnel should wear
self-contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards
Keep containers tightly closed, isolate from heat, sparks, electrical equipment and open flame. Closed containers may
explode when exposed to extreme heat. During emergency conditions over exposure to decomposition products may cause
a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparant. Obtain medical attention.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Leak Procedure
Refer to protective measures listed in sections 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9. Remove all sources of ignition, avoid breathing vapors,
ventilate area, remove with liquid binding material.
7 HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling
Do not take internally, use approved printing procedures, observe label precautions. Keep closures tight and container
upright to prevent leakage. Do not weld or flame cut an empty drum, do not handle until the manufacturers safety
precautions have been read and understood.
Storage
Store containers out of sun and away from heat, sparks, and open flames, close containers after each use. Consult NFPA
code for additional storage requirements.
Ventilation
Provide sufficient ventilation to keep vapor concentration below the given TLV and LEL.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash ot liquids.
Skin Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Required for prolonged or repeated contact, refer to safety equipment supplier for effective glove recommendations.
Respiratory Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Adequate ventilation is required. See your safety equipment supplier for evaluation and recommendation.
General
Eye bath and shower should be available. Use chemical resistant clothing. Liquid may penetrate shoes and leather causing
delayed irritation.
