SECTION III - HEALTH INFORMATION
Effects of Short Term Overexposure
Swallowing
Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea and vomiting. Aspiration of material into
lung may cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.
Inhalation
May cause nose or throat irritation. High concentrations may cause acute central
nervous system depression characterized by headaches, dizziness, nausea and
confusion.
Eye
May cause eye irritation.
Skin
May cause defatting and irritation of the skin.
Effects of Repeated Overexposure
Repeated overexposure to toluene may cause liver damage. Reports have associated
prolonged and repeated occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain
and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and
inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
Significant Laboratory Data with Possible Relevance to Human Health
Toluene has been found to cause kidney, lung and spleen damage in laboratory
animals.
SECTION IV - FIRST AID AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Swallowing
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call poison control center, hospital emergency
room, or physician immediately.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration.
Keep warm and quiet. Get medical attention immediately.
Eye
Flush with large amounts of water, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally.
Continue for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with soap and water. Obtain
medical attention if irritation persits.
Notes to Physician
Any treatment that might be required for overexposure should be directed at the
control of symptoms and the clinical conditions.

SECTION VI - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
NFPA Flammability Classification Flammable Liquid - Class IB
Flashpoint 40 deg. F. (4 deg. C.) CALCULATED
Extinguishing Media
Use NFPA Class B fire extinguishers (carbon dioxide, all purpose dry chemical or
alcohol foam) designed to extinguish flammable liquid fires. Polymer foam is
preferred for large fires.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
During emergency conditions, overexposure to decomposition products may cause a
health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain medical
attention.
WARNING! FLAMMABLE.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures
Water may be ineffective, but may be used to cool exposed containers to prevent
pressure build-up and possible auto-ignition or explosion when exposed to extreme
heat. If water is used, fog nozzles are preferable.
SECTION VII - REACTIVITY DATA
Stability
Normally stable.
Conditions to Avoid
Avoid excessive heat (>115 deg. F.) (46 deg. C.) and sources of ignition.
Incompatability (Materials to Avoid)
Strong acids or alkaline materials.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Burning, including when heated by welding or cutting, will produce smoke, carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization
Will not occur.
Conditions to Avoid
None known.
SECTION VIII - ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled
Keep spectators away. Eliminate all ignition sources (flames, hot surfaces, and
sources of electrical, static or frictional sparks). Dike and contain spill with inert
material (e.g. sand, earth). Transfer liquids to covered metal containers for recovery
or disposal, or remove with inert absorbent. Use only non-sparking tools. Place
absorbent diking materials in covered metal containers for disposal. Prevent
contamination of sewers, streams, and groundwater with spilled material or used
absorbent.
Waste Disposal
Dispose of in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
RCRA Classification
This product, if discarded directly, would be classified a hazardous waste based on its
ignitability characteristic, i.e. has a flashpoint of 140 deg. F. (60 deg.C.) or less. The
proper RCRA classification would be D001.
Environmental Hazards
None known.
SECTION IX - PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection
Proper selection of respiratory protection depends upon many factors including
duration/level of exposure and conditions of use. In general, exposure to organic
chemicals such as those contained in this product may not require the use of
respiratory protection if used in well ventilated areas. In restricted ventilation areas a
NIOSH approved chemical cartridge respirator may be required. Under certain
conditions, such as spraying, a mechanical prefilter may also be required. In confined
areas use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator. If the TLV's listed in
Section II are exceeded use a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator with
an appropriate protection factor. Refer to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 "Respiratory
Protection" and "Respiratory Protection A Manual and Guideline, American
Industrial Hygiene Association".
Ventilation
Provide local exhaust ventilation in sufficent volume and pattern so as to maintain
exposures below nusiance dust limits and permissible exposure limits which may be
listed in Section II. Refer to Industrial Ventilation - A Manual for Recommended
Practice - American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
Hand Protection
Solvent impermeable gloves are required for repeated or prolonged contact.
Eye Protection
Wear safety spectacles.
Other Protective Equipment
Not likely to be needed.
SECTION X - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage
Do not store above 115 deg. F. (46 deg. C.). Store large quantities in compliance with
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106.
Other Precautions
Do not take internally. Close container after each use.
Empty containers must not be washed and re-used for any purpose.
Containers should be grounded and bonded to the receiving container.
Do not weld, braze, or cut on empty container.
Never use pressure to empty. Drum is not a pressure vessel.
