SECTION 3 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Eye Contact: High vapor concentrations will cause irritation.
Skin Contact: Prolonged and repeated contact may cause defatting and drying of the skin.
Inhalation: High vapor concentrations may cause drowsiness and irritation of the eyes or respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Low toxicity
SECTION 4 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact - Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact - Wash with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation - Remove individual to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Ingestion -Call a physician or poison control center at once. DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
SECTION 5 鈥? FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: 46 潞C/ 114 潞F
Flash Point Method: Setaflash
Auto ignition Temperature: : 333 潞C/ 631 潞F
Flammable Limits in Air (%): Lower: 1.5 Upper: 7
Extinguishing Media: Use DRY chemicals, CO2, alcohol foam or water spray.
Special Exposure Hazards: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and structures. Vapors may travel along
ground and flashback along vapor trail may occur. Prevent build up of vapors or gases to explosive concentrations.
Special Protective Equipment: Fire fighters should wear all protective clothing, including self- contained breathing
equipment.
NFPA RATINGS FOR THIS PRODUCT ARE: HEALTH 1, FLAMMABILITY 2, REACTIVITY 0
HMIS RATINGS FOR THIS PRODUCT ARE: HEALTH 1, FLAMMABILITY 2, REACTIVITY 0
SECTION 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautionary Measures: Wear appropriate protective equipment.
Environmental Precautionary Measures: Prevent entry into sewers or streams, dike if needed.
Procedure for Clean Up: Eliminate all ignition sources. Absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate
waste disposal container. Use water fog to knock down vapors; contain runoff.
SECTION 7 鈥? HANDLEING AND STORAGE
Handling: For industrial use only. Handle and open containers with care. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do
not ingest. Avoid inhalation of chemical. DO NOT handle or shore near an open flame, heat, or other sources of ignition.
Fixed equipment as well as transfer containers and equipment should be grounded to prevent accumulation of static
charge. DO NOT pressurize, cut, heat, or weld containers. Empty containers may contain hazardous product residues.
Keep the containers closed when not in use. Launder contaminated clothing prior to reuse. Protect against physical
damage. Use appropriate personnel protective equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage: Keep containers tightly closed. Place away from incompatible materials.
SECTION 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep air borne
levels below recommended exposure limits. Use explosion proof equipment.
Respiratory Protection: If exposure exceeds occupational limits, use an appropriate NIOSH respirator.
Gloves: Impervious gloves.
Skin Protection: Skin contact should be prevented through the use of suitable protective clothing, gloves and footwear,
selected for conditions of use and exposure potential. Consideration must be given both durability as well as permeation
resistance.
Eyes: Safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles. If vapor exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face
respirator.
Other Personal Protection Data: Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the workstation
location.
