7. Handling and Storage
Handling Practices and Warnings
Handling (Personnel) Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Handling (Physical
aspects): Close container after each use. Ground container when pouring. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.
Storage Practices and Warnings
(掳C / 掳F). Vapors are inhibited and may form polymers in vents or flame arresters, resulting in blockage of vents. Keep container in a cool place.
DO NOT expose to direct sunlight. Store in well ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Store in accordance with national fire protection
association recommendations. Maintain air space inside storage container. Inhibitor required air (oxygen) contact to function. Check inhibitor level
after 3 months and return to original level.
8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Ventilation Other Engineering Controls
Use ventilation that is adequate to keep employee exposure to airborne Keep container tightly closed. Observe label precautions.

Inhalation Respirators: A NIOSH / MSHA approved air purifying respirator with NA
an organic vapor cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain
limited circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to
exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators

11. Toxicological Information
Toxicity Data, Epidemiology Studies, Carcinogenicity, Neurological Effects, Genetic or Reproductive Effects, or Structure Activity Data
Animal data: Inhalation 4 hour LC50: 7093 ppm in rats
Skin absorption LD50: > 35,500 mg/kg in rabbits.
Oral LD50: 7900 mg/kg in rats.The compound is a skin irritant, is a moderate eye irritant, and is a skin sensitizer in animals.
Inhalation: Toxicity described in animals exposed to levels primarily in the range of 8-100 times the TLV by inhalation include upper respiratory
and gastrointestinal irritation, lung damage, nervous system effects, and blood in the urine. Repeated exposures in the range of 5-100 times the TLV
include lung damage, pulmonary irritation, liver changes, eye irritation, nasal tissue changes, incoordination and upper respiratory irritation; Long-
term exposure caused inflammation of the nasal cavity and changes in nasal sensory cells, and slight decrease in body weight.
Ingestion: Acute toxicity described in animals exposed by ingestion near the LD50 include blood in the urine and liver changes. Repeated
exposures caused liver and kidney effects with altered function in organs, peeling of the skin and impaired locomotor activity and learning. Long-
term (lifetime) exposure caused decreased body weight, and increased relative kidney weight at high dose levels.
Skin: Repeated dermal exposure may result in dermatitis. Evidence from animal tests suggest that skin permeation may occur. Animal testing
indicating that this compound does not have carcinogenic effects. Recent studies in animals have shown that high exposures do not produce
embryotoxicity or fetotoxicity nor teratogenic effects even in the presence of maternal toxicity. Standard tests in animals for reproductive effects
have not been performed. Limited information indicates it does not have an effect on male reproduction. The compound does produce genetic
damage in mammalian cell cultures. It does not produce heritable genetic damage in animals.
