=============== SECTION III - PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS ============
BOILING RANGE: 133 deg F - 231 deg F SPECIFIC GRAVITY (H2O=1): 0.81
VAPOR DENSITY: HEAVIER THAN AIR EVAPORATION RATE: SLOWER THAN ETHER
SOLUBILITY IN WATER: SLIGHT TO MODERATE
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: COLORLESS LIQUID; TYPICAL SOLVENT ODOR.
================= SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA ==============
FLASH POINT: 1 deg F METHOD USED: TCC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME- LOWER: 1.2 UPPER: 13
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: FOAM, ALCOHOL FOAM, CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, WATER FOG
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
WATER SPRAY MAY BE INEFFECTIVE. WATER MAY BE USED TO COOL CONTAINERS TO PREVENT
PRESSURE BUILD-UP AND EXPLOSION WHEN EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT. IF WATER IS USED,
FOG NOZZLES PREFERRED. WEAR GOGGLES AND SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
KEEP CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED. ISOLATE FROM HEAT, SPARKS, ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
AND OPEN FLAME. CLOSED CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE WHEN EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT.
VAPOR ACCUMULATION CAN FLASH OR EXPLODE IF IGNITED. OVEREXPOSURE TO
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS MAY CAUSE A HEALTH HAZARD. SYMPTOMS MAY NOT BE READILY
APPARENT. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
======================== SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA =======================
STABILITY: STABLE
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
APPLICATION TO HOT SURFACES.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
BK116 Page: 2
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID)
UNKNOWN.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS
MAY PRODUCE FUMES WHEN HEATED TO DECOMPOSITION. FUMES MAY CONTAIN CARBON
MONOXIDE AND OTHER TOXIC FUMES.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: WILL NOT OCCUR
==================== SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA =======================
INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA, FATIGUE, DROWSINESS, IMPAIRED CO-
ORDINATION.
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
SKIN: CONTACT MAY DRY THE SKIN; PROLONGED CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. EYES:
LIQUID OR VAPOR CAN IRRITATE.
SKIN ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
NOT EASILY ABSORBED. SOLVENT ACTION CAN DRY AND DEFAT THE SKIN CAUSING THE SKIN
TO CRACK, LEADING TO DERMATITIS.
INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
NOT A LIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. SEEK
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ADVICE AND/OR ATTENTION.
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC)
ACUTE: EYE IRRITANT. SKIN IRRITANT. NARCOTIC IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS. CHRONIC:
LIVER AND KIDNEY DISEASE. SKIN IRRITATION AND DERMATITIS.
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP CARCINOGEN: No IARC MONOGRAPHS: No OSHA REGULATED: No
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
ACUTE AND CHRONIC LIVER AND KIDNEY DISEASE, ANEMIA.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. ADMINISTER OXYGEN IF NEEDED. APPLY ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: WIPE OFF WITH
TOWEL. WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.
EYES: WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE VOLUMES OF FRESH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
=========== SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE ============
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. VENTILATE AREA. DIKE AREA TO CONTAIN SPILL. CLEAN UP
AREA WITH ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND PLACE IN CLOSED CONTAINERS FOR DISPOSAL.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
DISPOSE OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING CLEAN UP, REFER TO OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS MSDS FOR HAZARD CAUTION
INFORMATION.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
STORE AND USE IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED WHEN
NOT IN USE. KEEP AWAY FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT OR OPEN FLAME. VAPORS MAY IGNITE
EXPLOSIVELY. VAPORS MAY SPREAD LONG DISTANCES. PREVENT BUILD-UP OF VAPORS.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
BK116 Page: 3
EXTINGUISH ALL PILOT LIGHTS AND TURN OFF HEATERS, NON-EXPLOSION PROOF ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT AND IGNITION SOURCES DURING USE.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
KEEP CLOSURE TIGHT AND CONTAINER UPRIGHT TO PREVENT LEAKAGE. OPEN CONTAINER
SLOWLY. GROUND CONTAINERS WHEN FILLING OR EMPTYING. DO NOT GET IN EYES. AVOID
SKIN CONTACT AND CONTACT WITH CLOTHING. DO NOT WELD OR FLAME-CUT AN EMPTY DRUM.
DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. DO NOT TRANSFER CONTENTS TO UNLABELLED CONTAINERS.
===================== SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES ======================
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
IN RESTRICTED AREAS, USE APPROVED CHEMICAL/MECHANICAL FILTERS DESIGNED TO REMOVE
A COMBINATION OF PARTICLES AND VAPOR. IN CONFINED AREAS, USE APPROVED AIR LINE
TYPE RESPIRATOR OR HOOD. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS REQUIRED FOR
VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE PEL/TLV LIMITS.
VENTILATION
SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT INHALATION OF SOLVENT VAPORS. GENERAL DILUTION AND/OR
LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IN VOLUME OR PATTERN TO KEEP PEL/TLV OF MOST HAZARDOUS
INGREDIENT BELOW ACCEPTABLE LIMIT AND LEL BELOW STATED LIMIT.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
SOLVENT RESISTANT REQUIRED FOR PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT.
EYE PROTECTION
SAFETY GLASSES WITH SPLASH GUARDS OR FULL FACE SHIELD.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
SOLVENT RESISTANT APRON.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES
EYE WASHES AND SAFETY SHOWERS IN THE WORKPLACE ARE RECOMMENDED.
