POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

EYE CONTACT:

            SLIGHTLY IRRITATING BUT DOES NOT INJURE EYE TISSUE.

SKIN CONTACT:

            FREQUENT OR PROLONGED CONTACT MAY IRRITATE AND CAUSE DERMATITIS.

INHALATION:

HIGH VAPOR/AEROSOL CONCENTRATIONS (GREATER THAN APPROXIMATELY 1000 PPM) ARE IRRITATING TO THE EYES AND THE RESPIRATORY TRACT, MAY CAUSE HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, ANESTHESIA, DROWSINESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, AND OTHER CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS, INCLUDING DEATH.

            MAY CAUSE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDER AND / OR DAMAGE.

INGESTION:

SMALL AMOUNTS OF THIS PRODUCT ASPIRATED INTO THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DURING INGESTION OR VOMITING MAY CAUSE MILD TO SEVERE PULMONARY INJURY, POSSIBLY PROGESSING TO DEATH.

            LOW ORDER OF TOXICITY.

CHRONIC EFFECTS:

OVEREXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT MAY CAUSE PROGRESSIVE AND POTENTIALLY IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY IN THE ARMS AND LEGS.

Section 1V

EYE CONTACT:

FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER UNTIL IRRITATION SUBSIDES.  IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

SKIN CONTACT:

            FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER, USE SOAP IF AVAILABLE.

REMOVE GROSSLY CONTAMINATED CLOTHING, INCLUDING SHOES, AND LAUNDER BEFORE REUSE.

INHALATION:

USING PROPER RESPIRATORY PROTECTION, IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE AFFECTED VICTIM FROM EXPOSURE.  ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF BREATHING IS STOPPED.  KEEP AT REST.  CALL FOR PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.

INGESTION:

IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  KEEP AT REST.  GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Section V

FLASH POINT                                               < 0 DEG F.

FLAMMABLE LIMITS:                                  LEL: 1.8 UEL: 11.6@77 DEG F.

NOTE: APPROXIMATE AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE:  511 DEG F.

GENERAL HAZARD:

EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, LATERIAL WILL READILY IGNITE AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES.  TOXIC GASES WILL FORM UPON COMBUSTION.  STATIC DISCHARGE, MATERIAL CAN ACCUMULATE STATIC CHARGES WHICH CAN CAUSE AN INCENDIARY ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE.  .EMPTY. CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE (LIQUID AND/OR VAPOR) AND CAN BE DANGEROUS.  DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND, OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.  EMPTY DRUMS SHOULD BE COMPLETELY DRAINED, PROPERLY BUNGED AND PROMPTLY RETURNED TO A DRUM RECONDITIONER, OR PROPERLY DISPOSED OF.

FIRE-FIGHTING

USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED SURFACES AND TO PROTECT PRESONNEL.  SHUT OFF .FUEL. TO FIRE.  IF A LEAK OR SPILL HAS NOT IGNITED, USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE THE VAPORS.

EATHER ALLOW THE FIRE TO BURN UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS OR EXTINGUISE WITH FOAM OR DRY CHEMICAL.  TRY TO COVER LIQUID SPILLS WITH FOAM.  RESPIRATORY AND EYE PROTECTION REQUIRED FOR FIRE FIGHTING PERSONNEL.  THIS LIQUID IS VOLATILE AND GIVES OFF INVISIBLE VAPORS.  EITHER THE LIQUID OR VAPOR MAY SETTLE IN LOW AREAS OR TRAVEL SOME DISTANCE ALONG THE GROUND OR SURFACE TO IGNITION SOURCES WHERE THEY MAY IGNITE OR EXPLODE.

Section VI

Accidental release measures

ELIMINATE SOURCES OF IGNITION.  PREVENT ADDITIONAL DISCHARGE OF MATERIAL; IF POSSIBLE TO DO SO WITHOUT HAZARD.  FOR SMALL SPILLS IMPLEMENT CLEANUP PROCEDURES; FOR LARGE SPILLS IMPLEMENT CLEANUP PROCEDURES AND, IF IN PUBLIC AREA, KEEP PUBLIC AWAY AND ADVISE AUTHORITIES.  ALSO, IF THIS PRODUCT IS SUBJECT TO CERCLA REPORTING (SEE SECTION 15 REGULATORY INFORMATION) NOTIFY THE NATIONAL RESPONE CENTER.  PREVENT LIQUID FROM ENTERING SEWERS, WATERCOURSES, OR LOW AREAS.  CONTAIN SPILLED LIQUID WITH SAND OR EARTH.  DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS SUCH AS SAWDUST.

RECOVER BY PUMPING (USE AN EXPLOSION PROOF OR HAND PUMP) OR WITH A SUITABLE ABSORBENT.

CONSULT AN EXPERT ON DISPOSAL OF RECOVERED MATERIAL AND ENSURE CONFORMITY TO LOCAL DISPOSAL REGULATIONS.

WATER SPILL

ELIMINATE SOURCES OF IGNITION.  WARN OCCUPANTS AND SHIPPING SUROUNDING AND DOWNWIND AREAS OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD AND REQUEST ALL TO STAY CLEAR.

CONSULT AN EXPERT ON DISPOSAL OF RECOVERED MATERIAL AND ENSURE CONFORMITY TO LOACAL DISPOSAL REGULATIONS.

Section VII

ELECTROSTATIC ACCUMULATION HAZARD:

YES, USE PROPER BONDING AND/OR GROUNDING PROCEDURE.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING SAFE HANDLING OF PRODUCTS WITH STATIC ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL CAN BE ORDERED BY CONTACTING THE AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE (API) FOR API RECOMMENDED PRACTICE 2003, ENTITLED .PROTECTION AGAINST IGNITIONS ARISING OUT OF STATIC, LIGHTING, AND STRAY CURRENTS.

STORAGE AND HANDLING:

KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED.  HANDLE AND OPEN CONTAINERS WITH CARE.  STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED PLACE AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.  DO NOT HANDLE OR STORE NEAR AN OPEN FLAME, HEAT OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION.  PROTECT MATERIAL FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT.  MATERIAL WILL ACCUMULATE STATIC CHARGES WHICH MAY CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SPARK (IGNITION SOURCE).  USE PROPER BONDING AND/OR GROUNDING PROCEDURES.  DO NOT PRESURIZE, CUT, HEAT, OR WELD CONTAINERS.  EMPTY PRODUCT CONTAINERS MAY CONTAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE.  DO NOT REUSE EMPTY CPNTAINEWRS WITHOUT COMMERCIAL CLEANING OR RECONDITIONING.

Section VIII

EXPOSURE CONTROLS:

THE USE OF LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IS RECOMMENDED TO CONTROAL PROCESS EMMISSIONS NEAR THE SOURCE.  LABORATORY SAMPLES SHOULD BE HANDLED IN A LAB HOOD.  PROVIDE MECHANICAL VENTILATION OF CONFINED SPACES.  SEE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION RECOMMENDATIONS.  USE EXPLOSION-PROOF VENTILATION EQUIPMENT.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

FOR OPEN SYSTEMS WHERE CONTACT IS LIKELY, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS, LONG SLEEVES, AND CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES.  WHERE CONTACT MAY OCCUR, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS.  WHERE CONCENTRATIONS IN AIR MAY EXCEED THE LIMITS GIVEN IN THIS SECTION AND ENGINEERING, WORK PRACTICE OR OTHER MEANS OF EXPOSURE REDUCTION ARE NOT ADEQUATE, NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATORS MAY BE NECESSARY TO PREVENT OVEREXPOSURE BY INHALATION.
