3. Hazards Identification
Major Hazards
Health:
Inhalation: Vapors have a mild narcotic effect and act as an upper respiratory tract irritant.
Symptoms may include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat,
drowsiness,headache, and incoordination. Excessive exposures may lead to
narcosis and central nervous system depression.
Skin contact: May cause skin irritation. Skin absorption may occur with symptoms paralleling
those from inhalation exposure.
Eyes contact: Vapors are irritating to the eyes. Splashes may cause severe irritation, with
stinging, tearing, redness and pain.
Ingestion: May cause nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, gastrointestinal pain, cramps and
diarrhea. Large doses may cause death.
Environment: No Data Available
Physical or Chemical: Vapor is heavier than air and may spread long distances. Distant ignition and
flashback are possible. Flammable liquid and vapor.
Other: ACGIH : A3 鈥揂nimal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans examples.
Major Symptoms: Irritation, Nausea, Vomiting, Cramp and Diarrhea.
Hazardous Product Class: 3(Flammable liquid)
NFPA Ratings (Scale 0-4): Health=1 Fire=3 Reactivity=0
4. First Aid Measures
Specific procedures for each route of exposure:
Dairen Chemical Corporation Ta-Fa Factory 1/5
General advice: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Call a specialist.
Skin contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Call a
specialist.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Lifting lower and
upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: Give large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical attention.
Major symptoms and reactions: May cause central nervous system depression.
Protection for people giving first aid: Wear adequate personal protective equipment.
Advice to doctors: Treat ingestion with gastric lavage and saline catharsis. Metabolite acetone may be
detected in urine.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, Alcohol-resistant foam, Chemical dry powder,
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Possible hazard during extinction: Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor is heavier than air and may
spread long distances. Distant ignition and flashback are possible.
Special extinction procedure: Cool containers / tanks with spray water.
Special protection for firefighters: Wear chemical protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus.
6. Accidental Release
Personal precaution: Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Wear adequate personal
protective equipment.
Environmental precaution: Extinguish or remove all ignition sources. Ventilate area. Prevent material
from entering sewers or confined spaces.
Methods for cleaning up: Stop or reduce leak if safe to do so. Contain spill with earth, sand, or
similar stable, noncombustible material. Small spills: Soak up with
absorbent material which does not react with spilled chemical. Put
material in suitable, covered, labeled containers. Flush area with water.
Large spills: Contact fire and emergency services and supplier for advice.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Ground drums and bond transfers (Grounding clips must contact bare metal). Keep material

away from sparks, flames, and other ignition sources. Post 鈥淣O SMOKING鈥? signs in area of
use. Have emergency equipment (for fire, spills, leak, etc.) readily available.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Store away from heat, ignition
sources and incompatible materials. Protect from damage. Inspect periodically for deficiencies
such as damage or leaks. Have appropriate fire extinguishers available in and near the
storage area.
8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering control: Ensure adequate ventilation.
Control indicators:
TWA/STEL/Ceiling for an 8-hour day:
TWA: 200 ppm STEL: 250 ppm
Ceiling: No Data Available Bio-indicator: No Data Available
Personal protection equipment:
Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Hand protection: Protect glove.
Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles.
Skin and body protection: Overall and boot
Hygiene considerations: Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.

Possible effects on environment:
When released into the soil, this material is expected to readily biodegrade. When released into the
soil, this material is expected to leach into groundwater. When released into the soil, this material is
expected to quickly evaporate. When released into water, this material is expected to readily
biodegrade. When released to water, this material is expected to quickly evaporate. This material is
not expected to significantly bioaccumulate. This material has a log octanol-water partition
