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 flammable vapor and protect personnel
attempting to stop the leak. Do not use
direct stream of water because product will float and can be relighted on
surface of water.
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 oxidizers,
selected amines, strong acids or bases.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon
oxides can form on incomplete combustion.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not
occur.

HEALTH HAZARD DATA
EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE
EYE CONTACT: Moderate eye irritation:
symptoms can include redness, swelling, pain, 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 and repeated contact occur.
INGESTION: Not likely as an aerosol but, if swallowed,
it can be harmful or fatal. If more than
several mouthfuls are swallowed, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea may
occur. Aspiration may occur during swallowing
or vomiting resulting in lung damage.
INHALATION: May be harmful or fatal if inhaled. Severely irritating and
damaging to the central nervous system and to the lungs. Considered a narcotic at
high concentrations. Can cause vertigo, and uncoordinaiton. Respiratory irritation may occur in high
concentrations, and is capable of causing intoxication, drowsiness, stupor, and
unconsciousness. Vapors or mist may
cause irritation to nose, throat, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness,
drowsiness, euphoria, loss of coordination and disorientation. In poorly ventilated areas or confined
spaces, unconsciousness and asphyxiation may result.
SYSTEMIC AND OTHER EFFECTS: Prolonged
or repeated overexposure may result in the absorption of potentially harmful
amounts of material.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT: In case of contact,
immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water lifting upper and lower lids
to insure complete rinsing. 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. Give one to two glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Call 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 an approved DOT container for disposal. Refer 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

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
