EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Foam, alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical, water fog may be ineffective
but should be used to cool fire-exposed containers to prevent
pressure build up and possible auto-ignition or explosion when
exposed to extreme heat.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Use full protection equipment including self contained breathing
apparatus(NIOSH approved) for respiratory protection in fighting
fires in enclosed or confined spaces, or as otherwise needed.
Minimize breathing gases, vapors, fumes or decomposition products.
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
During emergency conditions, overexposure to decomposition
products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be
immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention.

PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVEL:


SEE SECTION VIII
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Primary route(s) of entry:
(X) Dermal (X) Inhalation ( ) Ingestion
Acute (short term) exposure:
Inhalation - excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal
and respiratory irritation, cns effects including
dizziness, weakness, nausea, headache, possible
unconsciousness, and even death.
Skin contact - prolonged or repeated contact can cause
moderate irritation, defatting, and dermatitis.
Eye contact - can cause severe irritation, redness, tearing,
and blurred vision.
Ingestion - can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea. Aspiration of material into
the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be
fatal.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Eyes - flush thoroughly with running water for 15 minutes,
including under eyelids. Get medical attention.
Skin - promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash affected
areas thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation occurs
get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing
thoroughly before re-use.
Inhalation - if overcome by vapor, remove to an area free from
risk of further exposure. If breathing is difficult,
administer oxygen, or artificial respiration if breathing
has stopped. Keep person warm and quiet and get medical
attention.
Ingestion - if swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only
induce vomiting at the instructions of a physician. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Intentional
misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the
contents may be harmful or fatal.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY EXPOSURE:
Pre-existing eye, skin, liver and/or kidney disorders may be

Chronic (long term) exposure:


In laboratory animals - overexposure to this material (or
its components) has been found to cause the following
effects; anemia, liver abnormalities, kidney, lung and
spleen damage.
In humans - liver and cardiac abnormalities.
Toluene may be harmful to the fetus based on laboratory animal
studies. Repeated exposure to toluene has been associated with
high frequency hearing loss based on evidence in laboratory
animals. The human health consequences of this finding is
uncertain.

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:


Before attempting cleanup, refer to hazard caution information in
other sections of this sheet. Persons not wearing protective
equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up
has been completed.
Large spills - notify safety personnel. Eliminate potential
sources of ignition. Wear appropriate respirator and protective
clothing. Soak up with an absorbent, I.E. sand, clay, or other
suitable material. Place in non-leaking containers and seal
tightly for proper disposal. Ventilate confined spaces.
Minimize breathing vapors. Open all windows and doors. Minimize
skin contact. Keep product out of sewers and water courses by
diking and impounding. Observer precautions for volatile,
combustible vapors from absorbed material.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING,TRANSPORTATION,AND STORING:


CAUTION! FLAMMABLE! Handling and storage conditions must be
suitable for OSHA CLASS I flammable liquid. Store in cool,
well-ventilated, fire resistant storage area. Protect containers
against physical damage. Keep away from heat, flame, and strong
oxidizing agents. Do not store above 100 degrees F. Use only
with adequate ventilation. Keep containers closed when not in
use. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothing. Do not take internally. Bond and ground
containers of this material when pouring to avoid static sparks
which create a fire hazard.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb and
all lenses concentrate irritants.
