SECTION THREE - PHYSICAL DATA
BOILING POINT: N/D VAPOR PRESSURE (mmHg or psig @ 70F): 100 psig
VAPOR DENSITY (AIR=1): Greater than SPECIFIC GRAVITY (H2O=1):0.79-0.83
SOLUBILITY IN WATER % BY WT.: Miscible VOC CONTENT % BY WT.: 97%
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Yellow straw liquid with a petroleum odor.
SECTION FOUR - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH POINT: >100°F FLAMMABLE LIMITS: UEL 5.0 % LEL 0.7%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM: Dry chemical, alcohol foam or CO2
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING 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
combustible mixture and 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 the ground
away from the handling site. Eliminate all sources of ignition, as vapor may
ignite. Carbon oxides may be formed.
SECTION FIVE - REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable, avoid open flames and high temperature (above 120°F) and
direct sunlight.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Strong oxidizing and reducing agents.

SECTION FIVE - REACTIVITY DATA (continued)
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon oxides can form on incomplete
combustion.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
SECTION SIX - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE
EYE CONTACT: Moderate to severe eye irritation: symptoms can include
burning, redness, swelling, tearing, and hazy vision.
SKIN CONTACT: After prolonged or repeated contact symptoms can include redness,
swelling, blistering, itching, and dryness.
SKIN ABSORPTION: May be absorbed if prolonged or repeated contact occurs.
Washing the skin between uses with soap and water greatly reduces the harmful
effects of some petroleum oils.
INGESTION: Not likely as an aerosol but, if swallowed, can be harmful or fatal.
ASPIRATION HAZARD.
INHALATION: May be harmful or fatal if inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation. High levels may cause headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incoordination, unconsciousness and even death.
Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing, may include: stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation ( nose, throat, airways), lung irritation, central nervous system depression, ( dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, nausea, headache, unconsciousness), loss of coordination, confusion, irregular heartbeat, narcosis, (death or sluggish feeling), convulsions, coma, and death.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts
of water for 15 minutes lifting upper and lower eyelids. If irritation or other
symptoms persist, call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with large amounts of
water. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation is severe, call a physician
immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy or properly dispose of
contaminated shoes.
INHALATION: If inhaled, move person to non-contaminated air. If breathing has
stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Call a physician immediately if symptoms persist.
INGESTION: Ingestion is not likely as an aerosol but, if ingested, do not induce
vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a
physician immediately. Gastric lavage should be only considered by medical
personnel following intubation with a cuffed endotracheal tube.
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. Contain spill.
Cover with inorganic absorbent 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 a
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 an uncontrolled release of this
material, from the container, the user should determine if release is
reportable.
SARA HAZARD CLASS:
FIRE HAZARD: Yes Pressure: Yes Reactivity: No Acute: Yes Chronic: Yes
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 sunlight. Store containers below 120°F. Read label before using. Do not smoke when handling or using this product. Do not throw an empty container into a fire.

SECTION NINE - 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 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, drink, or wear facial cream when
using this product. Do not swallow. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and
water.
