Section 3 -- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF ACUTE HAZARDS
Overexposure may cause coughing, shortness of breath, dizziness, central
nervous system depression, intoxication and collapse. It may cause irritation
to the respiratory tract and to other mucous membranes.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
INHALATION
Overexposure may cause coughing, shortness of breath, dizziness, central
nervous system depression, intoxication and collapse. It may cause irritation
to the respiratory tract and to other mucous membranes.
EYE CONTACT
Severely irritating.
SKIN CONTACT
Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate and cause dermatitis. Can be
absorbed through skin.
INGESTION
May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Small amounts of the liquid
aspirated into the respiratory system during ingestion, or from vomiting,
may cause bronchiopneumonia or pulmonary edema.
SUMMARY OF CHRONIC HAZARDS
Prolonged skin contact may result in irritation and dermatitis.
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: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing.
If irritation occurs, seek medical attention.
If in EYES: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 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
52 F (11 C) SETA CC 6% 36.5%
EXTINGUSING MEDIA
Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or water fog.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and other protective clothing. Hazardous decomposition products
possible (see Section 10).
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Flammable - low flash point. Vapors are
heavier than air and may travel along ground or to low spots at
considerable distance to a source of ignition resulting in potential
flashback. Heat may build up pressure and rupture closed containers.
=============================================================================
Section 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Remove all sources
of ignition. Use absorbent materials to prevent footing hazard and to
contain. Ventilate area with natural or explosion-proof, 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: Keep container closed and
upright when not in use. Do not store near heat, sparks, or open flames.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin or
clothing. Empty containers may contain residues; treat as if full and
observe all products precautions. Do not reuse empty containers.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
=============================================================================
Section 8 -- EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE): In confined poorly ventilated areas,
use NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying or supplied air purifying or supplied
air respirators.
VENTILATION - LOCAL EXHAUST: Acceptable
SPECIAL: Explosion-proof equipment
MECHANICAL (GENERAL): Preferable
OTHER: N/A
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Rubber or neoprene
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z-87.1 or equivalent)
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: 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.
