Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Kidney, central nervous system, liver, eyes, respiratory, skin, heart, blood, central nervous system diseases
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen (To be
administered by qualified medical personnel only!) Get medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cups of milk or water. (Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person!) Aspiration hazard. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if
irritation persists.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Do not allow victim to
rub or keep eyes closed. Get medical aid immediately.
Notes to physician: Effects may be delayed. Ethanol may inhibit metabolism.
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: -17.78 C Lower Explosive Limit: 1.9 Upper Explosive Limit: 36
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, alcohol-resistant foam
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Water may be ineffective, but may be used to cool fire-exposed
containers.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. Will readily ignite at room temperature. Vapors from this product
may travel some distance from original point to an ignition source and flash back. This material is lighter than water and insoluble
in water. The fire could easily be spread by the use of water in an area where the water can not be contained.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear vapor respirator, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. Remove sources of ignition (i.e. open flames, sparks). Soak up with
inert absorbent material (earth, sand, or vermiculite recommended; do not use flammable substances such as sawdust). Scoop up
with non-sparking tool. Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in tightly closed container. Keep container closed to prevent drying out. Keep cool and dry. Avoid direct sunlight. Avoid all
ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible materials. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions:
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
