SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: If only water is available, use spray and not a direct hose
stream. Isolate hazard area and do not permit unnecessary personnel to enter. Avoid breathing fumes
or vapors. Wear full protective clothing, including NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus.
Cool surrounding areas and exposed containers with water.
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Material is an explosion hazard and a dangerous fire
hazard when exposed to heat and flame. Avoid high temperatures, sparks or open flames.
SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable under most conditions. Avoid high temperatures, sparks, or open flame.
INCOMPATIBILITY (Materials to avoid): Strong oxidizing agents such as liquid chlorine, pure
oxygen, sodium hypochlorite, and calcium hypochlorite.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide and complex organic
hydrocarbons may be formed upon combustion.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: Not determined for mixture: 200 ppm for Toluene, 500 ppm for n-
Hexane.
COMPONENTS LISTED AS KNOWN OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS: None.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Chronic respiratory
disease.
ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
INHALATION: May be irritating to mucous membranes. Inhalation of vapors may lead to giddiness,
dizziness, nausea, and loss of consciousness.
SKIN CONTACT: May be mildly irritating to the skin. Prolonged or repeated exposure may result in
defatting of skin, possibly leading to dermatitis.
EYE CONTACT: Short-term exposure may lead to irritation. NOTE: Wearing of contact lenses is not
recommended when using this product.
INGESTION: Ingestion of the liquid may lead to vomiting.
CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Not Known
EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION: Move affected person to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give
artificial respiration if necessary. Seek medical advice.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush with water, then wash affected area with soap and water. Remove
contaminated clothing immediately and launder before reuse. If irritation develops, seek medical
advice.

EYE CONTACT: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips
to prevent aspiration of liquid into lungs. Seek medical advice.

SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING USE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: DANGER!
FLAMMABLE! Eliminate all ignition sources. Handling equipment must be grounded to prevent
sparking.
LARGE SPILLS: Isolate the hazard area and keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear NIOSH-
approved protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilate area. Confine free
liquid by diking and remove liquid with vacuum truck or pump to chemical storage vessel. Soak up
residue with inert absorbent material such as clay or sand; place in leak-free container, label as to
contents, and hold for proper disposal. Dispose of spill material according to applicable regulations.
DO NOT ALLOW MATERIAL TO ENTER SEWERS OR WATER COURSES LEADING TO SURFACE
WATERS.
SMALL SPILLS: Take up with inert absorbent material and place in non-leaking containers; label as
to contents; seal tightly for proper disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL: Dispose of material according to RCRA regulations. RCRA Number for Toluene
is U220. D001 designates ignitable mixtures not specifically covered by another RCRA Number.
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING AND STORING: Do not store in excessive heat so as to avoid
pressure buildup in containers. Keep liquid away from very intense heat sources to eliminate
decomposition into toxic products. Avoid inhalation of vapors and excessive or repeated skin contact.
SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES
VENTILATION: Local or mechanical explosion-proof.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If exposure exceeds, or there is a possibility that it may exceed
OSHA exposure limits (100 ppm for Toluene; 400 ppm for n-Hexane; 200 ppm for Methanol), use
NIOSH-approved respirators. At extreme exposure levels, use positive-pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Chemically impervious.
EYE PROTECTION: Goggles.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Chemical impervious clothing to prevent skin contact.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Do not handle or store near heat,
sparks, flame or strong oxidizers. Adequate ventilation required. Avoid breathing vapors; avoid
prolonged or repeated skin contact.
