Section 3 -- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF ACUTE HAZARDS
Repeated inhalation may cause dizziness, nausea and CNS effects. May cause
severe eye and skin irritation.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
INHALATION
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects
characterized by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages
may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory
failure.
EYE CONTACT
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation.
SKIN CONTACT
Irritation and drying.
INGESTION
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause central nervous
system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness,
coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
SUMMARY OF CHRONIC HAZARDS
Skin irritation, contact dermatitis, and defatting.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Individuals with pre-existing or chronic diseases of the eyes, skin,
respiratory system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, liver,
or kidneys may have increased susceptibility to excessive exposure.
=============================================================================
Section 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If INHALED: 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.
If on SKIN: Immediately wash with soap and water. Remove and wash
any contaminated clothing.
If in EYES: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention if irritation persists.
If SWALLOWED: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce
vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
=============================================================================
Section 5 -- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASH POINT LEL UEL
115 F (46 C) N/D N/D
EXTINGUSING MEDIA
Foam, dry chemical, CO2, or water fog.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained full face piece
breathing apparatus and full body protective clothing. Hazardous
decomposition products possible (see Section 10). Evacuate area. Dike area
as run-off may create additional environmental contamination.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: May react with oxygen to form unstable
peroxides. Peroxides are thermally unstable and shock sensitive. However,
there is no known evidence that it has nearly the peroxide forming potential
as, for example, diethyl ether, etc.
=============================================================================
Section 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Use absorbent
materials to prevent footing hazard and to contain. Ventilate area with
forced air ventilation. Avoid flushing into sewers, drains, waterways, and
soil. Wear protective clothing and respiratory protection during cleanup.
=============================================================================
Section 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Avoid breathing high vapor
concentrations. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Keep container closed. Store away from heat and light.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Keep away from heat and flame. Keep from contact with
oxidizing materials. Minimize exposure to air. After opening, purge container
with nitrogen before reclosing. Do not distill to near dryness. If peroxide
formation is suspected, do not open or move container. Addition of water or
appropriate reducing materials will lessen peroxide formation.
=============================================================================
Section 8 -- EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE): In confined, poorly ventilated areas,
use NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying or supplied air respirator.
VENTILATION - LOCAL EXHAUST: Acceptable
SPECIAL: Explosion proof
MECHANICAL (GENERAL): Acceptable
OTHER: N/A
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Wear rubber gloves.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses (ANSI Z-87.1 or equivalent)
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Chemical resistant coveralls
recommended.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Where use can result in skin contact, wash exposed
areas thoroughly before eating, drinking, smoking, or leaving work area.
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

=============================================================================
Section 10 -- STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
STABILITY: Stable
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Extended contact with air or oxygen. The potential for
peroxide formation is enhanced when these solvents are used in
processes such as distillation. Heat, sparks, open flame, other ignition
sources, and oxidizing conditions. Ignition may occur at temperatures below
those published in the literature as autoignition or ignition temperatures.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): May react with oxygen to form peroxides.
However, there is no known evidence that it has nearly the peroxide forming
potential as, for example, diethyl ether, etc. Dehydrating agents. Strong
oxidizing agents.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Incomplete combustion carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide and other toxic gases.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Not expected to occur.
