SECTION IV - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point: 100oF Flammable Limits: LEL: 0.8% UEL: 5.0%
Extinguishing Media: Regular foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operated in the positive
pressure demand mode, with appropriate turn out gear & chemical resistant personal protective equipment.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or be moved by
ventilation and ignited by heat, pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heater, smoking, electric motors, static discharge or
other ignition sources at locations distant from material handling point. Keep away from heat, sparks, pilot lights and
other sources of ignition. Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat.

SECTION V - Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid: N/A
Incompatibility: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition of By-products: May form toxic materials: carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, various
hydrocarbons.

SECTION VI - Health Hazard Data
Routes of Entry: Inhalation - Yes Skin - Yes Ingestion - Yes
Health Hazard Acute and Chronic:
Inhalation: Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, central nervous system effects
including dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea and headache and possible unconsciousness or in extreme cases,
death. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or prove fatal.
Skin: Prolonged or repeated contact can cause moderate irritation, defatting, dermatitis.
Eyes: Can cause severe irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision.
Ingestion: Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Aspiration of material into the lungs
can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.
Chronic Overexposure: Excessive exposure may cause permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: unknown
Carcinogenicity: Not presently listed as a carcinogen. IARC - not listed; NTP - not listed; OSHA - not listed.
Emergency First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: If affected, remove individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing has
stopped, give artificial respiration. Keep person warm, quiet and get medical attention.
Skin: Thoroughly wash exposed area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contami-
nated clothing before reuse.
Eyes: Immediately flush thoroughly with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Get
medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Keep person warm, quiet and get medical attention immediately. Aspiration
of material into lungs due to vomiting can cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.
SECTION VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled
Small Spill: Absorb liquid on paper, vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent material and transfer to vent
hood or closed container.
Large Spill: Eliminate ignition sources (flares, flames, pilot lights, electrical sparks). Contain liquid, stop spill at
source. Ventilate area, avoid breathing vapors. Clean up with absorbent material and place in closed container
for disposal.

SECTION VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use (continued)
Waste Disposal Method:
Small Spill: Allow volatile portion to evaporate away from inhabited areas or in ventilated hood. Dispose of
remaining material in accordance with applicable regulations.
Large Spill: Dispose of by sending to licensed reclaimer, or permitted incinerator in accordance with local, state
and federal regulations.
Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Store in cool, dry area. Avoid flames and high temperatures. Store
upright to prevent leaks. Keep container tightly closed.
Other precautions: None
SECTION VIII - Control Measures
Respiratory Protection: If work place exposure limits of product or any component are exceeded, a NIOSH/ MSHA
approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit
other NIOSH/ MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your safety equipment sup-
plier). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Ventilation: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below PEL &
TLV.
Protective Gloves: Wear resistant gloves such as nitrile rubber, neoprene, polyvinyl alcohol.
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised. However, OSHA regula-
tions also permit other types of safety glasses (consult your safety equipment supplier).
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Where prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur use protective
clothing impervious to this material. Selection of specific items, such as gloves, boots or aprons will depend upon
operation.
Work/ Hygienic Practices: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist. Wash
thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove any contaminated clothing promptly and clean
before reuse.
