FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Will release vapors when heated above flash point. If mixed with air, and
exposed to an ignition source, these vapors can burn in the open or explode
if confined. Vapors may be heavier than air and may travel along the ground
to an ignition source, resulting in a flash back to the source of the vapors.
Fine sprays/mists may be combustible at temperatures below normal flash
point.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Do not enter fire area without proper protection. See Section 5 -
decomposition products possible. Fight fire from safe distance/protected
location. Heat may build pressure/rupture closed containers, spreading fire,
increasing risk of burns/injuries. Do not use solid water stream/may spread
fire. Use water spray/fog for cooling. Avoid frothing/steam explosion.
Notify authorities if liquid enters sewer/public waters.
07. HEALTH HAZARDS
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
INHALATION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
No appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to exist for
this material.
Excessive concentrations may cause nervous system depression, headache, and
weakness leading to unconsciousness.
EYE CONTACT -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material may cause minor eye irritation. Symptoms of irritation
may include excessive tearing, blinking and redness.
SKIN ABSORPTION
No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any adverse health effects
are expected to occur as a result of skin absorption.
SKIN IRRITATION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any adverse health effects
are expected to occur as a result of skin exposure.
Repeated exposure should cause no allergic skin reaction (sensitization).
INGESTION
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to be a slight ingestion hazard.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
No additional medical information found.
08. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT / CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
No occupational exposure standards have been developed for this material.
Where exposure through inhalation may occur from use, NIOSH/MSHA approved
respiratory protection equipment is recommended.
EYE PROTECTION
Eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield must be
worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying
liquid, airborne particles, or vapor. Contact lenses should not be worn.

SKIN PROTECTION
Not normally considered a skin hazard. Where use can result in skin contact,
practice good personal hygiene. Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild
soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking and when leaving work.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
If handling results in aerosol or vapor generation, local exhaust ventilation
is recommended.
OTHER HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the
immediate vicinity of any potential exposure.
OTHER WORK PRACTICES
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking,
smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove soiled clothing/wash
thoroughly before reuse. Shower after work using plenty of soap and water.
09. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID
INHALATION
If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air immediately. Give oxygen
or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain emergency medical attention.
Prompt action is essential.
EYE CONTACT
In case of eye contact, immediately rinse with clean water for 20-30 minutes.
Retract eyelids often. Obtain emergency medical attention if pain, blinking,
tears or redness persist.
SKIN CONTACT
Remove contaminated clothing as needed. Wash skin thoroughly with mild
soap/water. Flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If sticky, use waterless
cleaner first.
INGESTION
If large quantity swallowed, administer lukewarm water (pint) if victim
completely conscious/alert. Do not induce vomiting/aspiration risk exceeds
systemic poisoning risk. Obtain emergency medical treatment.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT PROCEDURES
No additional medical information found.
10. SPILL AND DISPOSAL
PRECAUTIONS IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED
Extinguish all ignition sources. Limit access to spill area. Impound/
recover large land spill; soak up small spill with inert solids (sand,
earth). After, clean contaminated materials and surfaces. On water,
contain/minimize dispersion/collect. Do not drain into sewers or rivers.
Report per regulatory requirements.

No specific human or animal chronic health effects data is known to exist for
this product as a whole. The oligo portion of the product was found to be
mutagenic when tested in the Ames assay; however, it was not mutagenic in the
Chinese hampster ovary cell or mouse lymphoma assays. 2,4,6-trimethylbenzo-
phenone was not mutagenic in the Ames assay (with and without activation) or
in the Chinese hamster ovary cell assay (with and without activation). In
addition, chronic exposure to some ketones has been associated with
neurotoxic effects such as brain and central nervous system damage.
