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
determatitis. 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 skin with plenty of soap and water.
Eye
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Contact a physician.
Inhalation
Move to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if necessary.

Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Do not drink water, milk or oil.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical power
Basic Fire Fighting Procedures
Water may be ineffecive, but can be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Fire fighting personnel should wear
self-contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards
Keep container 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 apparent. Obtain medical attention.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Leak Procedure
Remove all sources of ignition, avoid breathing vapors, ventilate area, remove with liquid binding material.
7 HANDLING & STORAGE
Storage
Store containers out of sun and away from heat, sparks and open flames, close containers after each use. Consult N.F.P.A.
Code for additional storage requirements.
Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is required. See your safety equipment supplier for evaluation and recommendation. Provide
ventilation to keep vapor concentration below the given tlv.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Use safety glasses designed to protect against splash of liquids.
Skin Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Use chemical-resistant apron or other impervious clothing, if needed, to avoid contaminating regular clothing which could
result in prolonged or repeated skin contact.
General
Eye bath and shower should be available. Liquid may penetrate shoes and leather causing delayed irritation. Hygienic
practices: wash hands before eating, smoking or using washroom. Do not keep food, drinks tobaccos at the working place.
