FLASH POINT: 72 F    FLAMMABLE LIMITS:   UEL  12.0    LEL  2.0  
EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM:  Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol foam, water spray.  Do not use a direct water stream.        
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.  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 product and vapor and protect personnel attempting to stop the leak.  Do not use direct water stream.
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 away from handling site.  Eliminate all sources of ignition as vapor may ignite.

SECTION SIX - HEALTH HAZARD DATA


EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE
EYE CONTACT:  Vapors will irritate the eyes.  Liquid and mists can severely irritate or damage the eyes and cause corneal burns.
SKIN CONTACT:  Brief contact may dry the skin, or cause burning or stinging sensation.  Prolonged or repeated contact may irritate the skin causing dermatitis.

INGESTION:  Swallowing large quantities causes headaches, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea, and perhaps unconsciousness, or death.
INHALATION:  Vapors and mists irritate the nose and throat.  inhalation of higher concentrations may cause headaches, vomiting, and coma.  Inhalation of very high concentrations or prolonged exposure may cause unconsciousness or death.
SYSTEMIC AND OTHER EFFECTS:  Prolonged or repeated exposure to high concentrations can produce severe or fatal CNS depression.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:  Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, eye problems, or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of this product.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT:  Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes, lifting the upper and lower eyelids occasionally.  Get immediate medical attention. 
SKIN CONTACT:  Immediately wash skin with soap and water.  Remove contaminated clothing and shoes; and launder before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation persists after washing.  
INHALATION:  Remove to fresh air.  Give artificial respiration if not breathing.  If breathing is difficult give CPR.  Get immediate medical attention.                                          
INGESTION:  If conscious, immediately induce vomiting by giving two glasses of water and sticking finger down throat.  get immediate medical attention.  Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.  Keep victim's head below hips while vomiting so he does not breathe the vomitus into his lungs.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:  There is no specific antidote.  Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and clinical condition of the patient.                                                                                                             

 

SECTION SEVEN - ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION


ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS:  Wear protective equipment including rubber boots, rubber gloves, rubber apron, and a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure demand mode or a supplied-air respirator.  If the spill or leak is small, a full facepiece air-purifying cartridge respirator equipped for organic vapors may be satisfactory.   In any event,  always wear eye protection.  Extinguish all ignition sources and ensure that all handling equipment is electrically grounded.  For small spills or drips, mop or wipe up and dispose of in DOT approved waste containers.  For large spills, contain by diking with soil or other inorganic non-combustible absorbent material and then pump into DOT approved waste containers; or absorb with non-combustible sorbent material, place residue in dot approved waste containers.  Keep out of sewers, storm drains, surface waters and soil.  Comply with all applicable governmental regulations on spill reporting, and handling and disposal of waste.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of contaminated product and materials used in cleaning spills or leaks in a manner approved for this material.  Consult appropriate federal, state and local regulatory agencies to ascertain proper disposal procedures.
NOTE:  Empty containers can have residues, gases and mists and are subject to proper waste disposal as above.

 

SECTION EIGHT - HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

 

Store in tightly sealed containers.  Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames.  Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials.  Vent containers if needed on extremely warm days to relieve pressure.  Electrically ground all equipment when handling this product and use only non-sparking tools.  Keep container tightly closed when not in use.  Do not store in direct sunlight, above 120°F, or discard in home trash compactor.  Do not use pressure to empty container.  Do not apply flames or other ignition sources to container even when empty, because container may contain flammable residue.  Wash thoroughly after handling.  Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.

SECTION NINE - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION


RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE):  If use conditions generate vapors or mists, wear a niosh approved respirator appropriate for those emission levels.  Appropriate respirators may be a full facepiece or a half mask air mnpurifying cartridge respirator equipped for organic vapors/mist, a self-contained breathing apparatus in the pressure demand mode, or a supplied air respirator.
VENTILATION:  Local mechanical exhaust ventilation capable of maintaining emissions at the point of use below the PEL/TLV.

PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Any lined non-permeable rubber gloves    
EYE PROTECTION:  Chemical splash goggles
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:  Non-permeable clothing to protect all skin from liquid contact.
