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 protection 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 the 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 and temperatures above 120°F or direct sunlight.

 

INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid and other strong oxidizing agents; sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and other strong inorganic acids.  Keep away from all strong acids and strong bases.

 

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS:  Could produce carbon monoxide, methanol and formaldehyde.

 

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.

 

SECTION VI- HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 

EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE:

 

EYES CONTACT: This product is considered a severe eye irritant.  Contact could cause redness and tearing.  Can cause corneal damage.

SKIN CONTACT:  Could defat the skin causing drying and cracking.

SKIN ABSORPTION:  Due to the type of product, skin absorption is unlikely.

INGESTION:  Not likely as an aerosol but could be harmful.  This product contains material considered to be narcotic at high concentrations.  Can cause gastric irritation, pain and vomiting.

INHALATION:  Mildly toxic by inhalation.  Over exposure could cause headache, nausea, eye irritation, loss of appetite, a bad taste, lassitude, impairment of coordination, and reaction time reported.

 

SYSTEMIC AND OTHER EFFECTS: Human systemic effects by inhalation:  Changes in EEG, changes in carbohydrate metabolism, nasal effects, conjuctiva irritation, respiratory system effects, nausea and vomiting.  Human system effects by ingestion:  coma, kidney damage and metabolic changes.  Considered a narcotic at high concentration.  Toluene has been noted to be an experimental teratogen with mutation data reported and experimental reproductive effects.

 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

 

EYE CONTACT:  In case of contact with liquid or vapors, wash eyes with water or neutral saline solution for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids to ensure thorough rinsing.  Remove contact lenses if worn.  If irritation persists, CONSULT PHYSICIAN.

SKIN CONTACT:  Remove contaminated clothing, wash exposed area with soap and water.

INHALATION:  Remove victim from contaminated area to fresh air.  Keep warm and at rest (in the recovery position). If breathing is weak, irregular or has stopped, commence artificial respiration.  Oxygen may be beneficial.  CONSULT PHYSICIAN.

INGESTION:  Rinse mouth with water and, if swallowed, dilute with water by drinking two glasses of water.  DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

 

SECTION VII- ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION

 

ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS:  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 local, state and federal regulations.

REGULATORY INFORMATION:  Since regulations vary, consult applicable regulations or authorities before disposal.  In the event of un 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 DOO1.

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA:  No data available.

SECTION VIII- CONTROL MEASURES

 

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, mist or gas.  Do not store or transfer to unmarked container.  Do not throw empty containers in trash compactor.  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 throw empty container into fires.

 

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 EQUIPMENT:  Non-permeable clothing to protect all skin from liquid contact.

RECOMMENDED VENTILATION:  Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation.  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.
