FIRE
AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires containing or
around this product. Shut off all sources of ignition, if possible. Keep
exposed containers cool with water spray to prevent rupture. Evacuate all
non-trained personnel. Wear full protective clothing, including helmet.
Ventilate area. Contain spill and dike, if possible. For leaks or spills
water spray can be used to disperse any flammable vapors that may become
concentrated or form in poorly ventilated areas and to protect personnel
attempting to stop the leak.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Firefighters should wear SCBA's in a positive pressure mode with full face shield. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances and accumulate in low areas or spread along ground from handling site. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near this product because even just residue can ignite explosively.

SECTION FIVE - REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable, avoid open flames, welding arcs or other
high temperature sources which induce thermal decomposition and direct
sunlight.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Avoid contact
with strong acids, alkalies, and strong oxidizers such as liquid chlorine,
other halogens, hydrogen peroxide, and oxygen.
HAZARDOUS
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon
dioxide, and carbon monoxide.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will
not occur
SECTION SIX- HEALTH HAZARD DATA
EFFECTS
OF OVER EXPOSURE
EYE CONTACT: Considered as an
eye irritant. May cause stinging, watering, swelling, and redness. Vapors may
irritate eyes. Slight corneal injury could occur.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or
repeated exposure may cause severe skin irritation. Repeated contact may cause
drying and flaking of skin. May cause allergic skin reaction in susceptible
individuals. Chronic symptoms may include dryness, swelling, scaling,
blistering, cracking, and severe tissue damage.
SKIN ABSORPTION: A single
prolonged skin exposure is not likely to result in harmful amounts, but this
product may be readily absorbed through the skin and produce CNS depression.
INGESTION: ASPIRATION HAZARD.
Aspiration of this material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis which
can be fatal. If aspirated, it may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and
result in injury to other body systems. May cause weakness and
gastrointestinal tract irritation. May irritate the mucous membranes of the
mouth, throat, and esophagus. It can be readily absorbed through the stomach
and intestinal tract. Symptoms include a burning sensation of the mouth, and
esophagus, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, staggering gait, drowsiness, loss of
consciousness and delirium. Additional central nervous system effects may
occur prior to the onset of convulsions, coma and death.
INHALATION: Breathing high
concentrations of vapor may cause respiratory irritation, euphoria, excitation,
or giddiness, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite,
fatigue, muscular weakness, staggering gait, and CNS depression, (which
includes dizziness, drowsiness, disorientation, vertigo, memory loss, visual
disturbances, difficulty with breathing, convulsions, unconsciousness,
paralysis, coma, and even death). Irritation may occur to the mucous membranes
of the respiratory tract. A loss of appetite, lassitude, light-headedness,
incoordination , respiratory arrest, convulsions, semi-consciousness may result
from extreme exposure.
SYSTEMIC AND OTHER EFFECTS:
HUMAN SYSTEMIC EFFECTS BY INGESTION AND INHALATION: None known.
EMERGENCY
AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
EYE CONTACT: Flush with large
amounts of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower eyelids. Get medical
attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Thoroughly wash
exposed area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder it
before reuse. Should any irritation persist, get medical attention.
INHALATION: If affected, remove
individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If
breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Keep person warm and
quiet. Get medical attention.
INGESTION: Ingestion is not
considered a potential route of exposure as an aerosol but, if swallowed, do
not induce vomiting. If spontaneous vomiting is about to occur, place
victims head between their knees to prevent aspiration. Call a physician or
transport to an emergency facility.
SECTION SEVEN-ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS:
Ventilate area-especially low places where heavy vapors might collect.
Extinguish all ignition sources. For small spills/leaks mop, wipe, or soak up
on an inorganic material immediately. Remove to vent hood or outside. For
large spills/leaks evacuate area, contain spill (dike area), and transfer
contained liquid to a DOT approved container for disposal. Keep out of water
supply. Refer to other sections of this MSDS for information regarding
physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personnel
protective equipment.

SECTION SEVEN-ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION (continued)
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: When
disposing of unused contents, the preferred options are to send to licensed
reclaimers or to permitted incinerators. Any disposal practice must be in
compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Do not dump
into sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water.
SECTION EIGHT-HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Store in tightly sealed containers. Keep away from heat, sparks & open flame. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Do not breathe vapor, mist or gas. Do not store or transfer to an unmarked container. Do not throw empty containers in trash compactor. Do not store in direct sun. Store containers below 120¡F. Read label before using.
SECTION NINE - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE): If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is
exceeded (see Section two), a NIOSH approved air supplied respirator is advised
in absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other
NIOSH respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your
safety equipment supplier). Engineering or administrative controls should be
implemented to reduce exposure.
VENTILATION: Control airborne
concentrations below the exposure limits in section two. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some
operations. Lethal concentrations may exist in areas with poor ventilation.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: For brief
contact, no precautions should be needed. When prolonged or frequently
repeated contact could occur, use protective gloves such as; polyvinyl alcohol
or polyethylene.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash
goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; OSHA regulations also
permit other type of safety glasses (consult your safety equipment supplier)
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: To
prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, use protective clothing impervious
to this product. Selection of specific items such as gloves, boots, apron, or
full body suit will depend on operation.
