EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:  Dry chemical, alcohol foam, or CO2.

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 that have not ignited, water spray can be used to disperse the flammable vapor and protect personnel attempting to stop leak.  Do not use direct stream of water because product will float and can be reignited on surface of water.

 

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:  Firefighters should wear SCBAs in 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 away from handling site.  Eliminate all sources of ignition as vapor may ignite.  Carbon oxides may be formed.

SECTION V- REACTIVITY DATA

          

STABILITY: Stable.  Avoid open flames, welding arcs or other high temperature sources which induce thermal decomposition.  Avoid direct sunlight.

 

INCOMPATIBILITY:  Avoid contact with oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, strong oxidizers, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and other strong inorganic acids.

 

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS:  Carbon monoxide, methanol, and formaldehyde.

 

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.

 

SECTION VI- HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:

EYES:

Considered irritating to the eye

SKIN CONTACT:  Prolonged exposure may cause defatting of the skin which could lead to dryness and cracking.  People prone to skin sensitiveness may be more sensitive to this product.

 

SKIN ABSORPTION:  Unlikely that this product would absorb into skin and cause damage.

 

INGESTION:

Slightly toxic by ingestion.

INHALATION:  May be irritating to respiratory tract and a narcotic at very high concentrations. Inhalation at high concentrations could cause vertigo, drowsiness, fatigue, loss of appetite, paralysis in distal extremities, muscle weakness, cold pulsation in extremities, blurred vision, headache, anorexia and onset of polyneuropathy.  Can cause injury to lungs, liver, kidney and head.

 

 

SYSTEMIC AND OTHER EFFECTS: 

Hallucinations, structural change in nerve or sheath.

 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

EYES:  In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes.  Make sure to remove contact lenses and lift eyelids to ensure complete flushing.  If irritation occurs, contact physician immediately.

SKIN:  Immediately wash contaminated area thoroughly with soap and water.  Remove and launder contaminated clothing before use.  Destroy or properly dispose of contaminated shoes.  If irritation is severe, contact physician immediately.

INHALATION:  Move person to area with fresh air.  If breathing has stopped, give CPR.  If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.  Contact physician immediately.

INGESTION:  Unlikely as an aerosol but, if ingested, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  Give one to two glasses of H20.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  Call physician immediately.

 

SECTION VII- PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

 

ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE LARGE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:  Ventilate area, especially low places where heavy vapors might collect.  Extinguish all ignition sources.  Contain spill. Cover with inorganic absorbant material.  Collect spilled material.  Clean up residue.  Place in approved DOT container for disposal.Refer to other sections of this MSDS for information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation and personnel protective equipment. 

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:  Reclaim by distillation if possible or remove to permitted waste disposal facility in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

REGULATORY INFORMATION:  Since regulations vary, consult applicable regulations or authorities before disposal.  In the event of uncontrolled release of this material from the container, the user should determine if release is reportable.  U. S. EPA hazardous waste number for liquid concentrate is D001.

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA:  No data available.

SECTION VIII- HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

 

HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:  Store in tightly sealed containers.  Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame.  Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing.  Do not breathe vapor or mist.  Do not store or transfer to unmarked container.  Do not store in direct sunlight.  Store containers below 120° F.  Read label before using.  Do not smoke when handling or using this product.  Do not cut on empty containers as they may contain vapors that are flammable.

 

SECTION IX - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE):  Select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with OSHA regulations: full face organic vapor and acid gas respirator.  Full face supplied air respirator, full face pressure demand self contained breathing apparatus.

 

PROTECTIVE GLOVES:   Any lined non-permeable rubber gloves like buna or nitrile.

 

EYE PROTECTION:  Wear unvented goggles during operations in which exposure is likely.  Wear full face shield.

 

OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT:  Non-permeable clothing to protect all skin from liquid contact.

 

RECOMMENDED VENTILATION:  Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation.  Provide appropriate local exhaust at transfer points.  Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation on open containers.  If exhaust ventilation is not adequate, use appropriate respiratory protection.

 

PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTAL INGESTION:  Do not eat or drink or wear facial cream when using this product.  Do not swallow.  Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water.
