=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE: IRRITATING, BUT DOES NOT INJURE
    EYE TISSUE. SKIN: FREQUENT OR PROLONGED CONTACT MAY IRRITATE &
    CAUSE DERMATITIS. OCCASIONAL BRIEF CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID WILL NOT
    RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT IRRITATION  UNLESS EVAPORATION IS IMPEDED.
    SKIN CONTACT MAY AGGRAVATE AN EXISTING DERMATITIS CONDITION.
    INHALATION: HIGH VAPOR/AEROSOL CONCENTRATIONS ARE IRRITATING TO THE
    EYES & THE RESPIRATORY TRACT, MAY CAUSE  HEADACHES, DIZZINESS,
    ANESTHESIA, DROWSINESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
    EFFECTS, BRAIN DAMAGE & POSSIBLY DEATH. INGESTION: SMALL AMOUNTS OF
    THIS PRODUCT ASPIRATED INTO THE RESPIRATORY S YSTEM MAY CAUSE
    PULMONARY INJURY.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
Effects of Overexposure:EYE: IRRITATING, BUT DOES NOT INJURE EYE
    TISSUE. SKIN: FREQUENT OR PROLONGED CONTACT MAY IRRITATE & CAUSE
    DERMATITIS. OCCASIONAL BRIEF CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID WILL NOT
    RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT IRRITATION  UNLESS EVAPORATION IS IMPEDED.
    INHALATION: HIGH VAPOR/AEROSOL CONCENTRATIONS (GREATER THAN
    APPROXIMATELY 1000 PPM) ARE IRRITATING TO THE EYES & THE
    RESPIRATORY TRACT, MAY CAUSE HEADACHES, DIZZINESS,	ANESTHESIA,
    DROWSINESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS, BRAIN
    DAMAGE & POSSIBLY DEATH. INGESTION: SMALL AMOUNTS OF THIS PRODUCT
    ASPIRATED INTO THE RESPIRATORY
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SKIN CONTACT MAY AGGRAVATE AN
    EXISTING DERMATITIS CONDITION.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE: FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER UNTIL IRRITATION
    SUBSIDES. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN:
    FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER; USE SOAP IF AVAILABLE. REMOVE
    GROSSLY CON TAMINATED CLOTHING, INCLUDING SHOES, AND LAUNDER BEFORE
    REUSE. INHALATION: USING PROPER RESPIRATORY PROTECTION, IMMEDIATELY
    REMOVE THE AFFECTED VICTIM FROM EXPOSURE. ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL
    RESPIRATION  IF BREATHING IS STOPPED. KEEP AT REST. CALL FOR PROMPT
     MEDICAL ATTENTION.  INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE
    VOMITING. KEEP AT REST. GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:=7.2C, 45.F
TYPICAL
Autoignition Temp:=552.2C, 1026.F
Autoignition Temp Text:APPROX
Lower Limits:1.4
Upper Limits:7.4
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED SURFACES AND
    TO PROTECT PERSONNEL. SHUT OFF "FUEL" TO FIRE. IF A LEAK OR SPILL
    HAS NOT IGNITED, USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE THE VAPORS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED SURFACES
    AND TO PROTECT PERSONNEL. SHUT OFF "FUEL" TO FIRE. IF A LEAK OR
    SPILL HAS NOT IGNITED, USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE THE VAPORS.
    EITHER ALLOW FIRE TO BURN U NDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS OR
    EXTINGUISH WITH FOAM OR DRY CHEMICAL. TRY TO COVER LIQUID SPILL
    WITH FOAM.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE LIQUID, CAN RELEASE VAPORS THAT
    FORM FLAMMABLE MIXTURES AT TEMPERATURES AT OR ABOVE THE FLASHPOINT.
    TOXIC GASES WILL FORM UPON COMBUSTION. STATIC DISCHARGE, MATERIAL
    CAN ACCUMULATE STATIC CH ARGES WHICH CAN CAUSE AN INCENDIARY
    ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE. "EMPTY" CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE
    (LIQUID &/OR VAPOR)

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:LAND SPILL: ELIMINATE SOURCES OF IGNITION.
    PREVENT ADDITIONAL DISCHARGE OF MATERIAL, IF POSSIBLE TO DO SO
    WITHOUT HAZARD. FOR SMALL SPILLS IMPLEMENT CLEANUP PROCEDURES; FOR
    LARGE SPILLS IMPLEMENT CLEA NUP PROCEDURES AND, IF IN PUBLIC AREA,
    KEEP PUBLIC AWAY AND ADVISE AUTHORITIES. ALSO, IF THIS PRODUCT IS
    SUBJECT TO CERCLA REPORTING NOTIFY THE NATIONAL RESPONSE CENTER.
    PREVENT LIQUID FROM ENTERING
Neutralizing Agent:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER

    FLAME, HEAT OR OTHER SOURCES O F IGNITION. PROTECT MATERIAL FROM
    DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
Other Precautions:MATERIAL WILL ACCUMULATE STATIC CHARGES WHICH MAY
    CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SPARK (IGNITION SOURCE). USE PROPER BONDING
    &/OR GROUNDING PROCEDURES. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, HEAT, OR WELD
    CONTAINERS. EMPTY PRO DUCT CONTAINERS MAY CONTAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE.
    DO NOT REUSE EMPTY CONTAINERS WITHOUT COMMERCIAL CLEANI NG OR
    RECONDITIONING

    OTHER MEANS OF EXPOSURE REDUCTION ARE NOT ADEQUATE, NIOSH APPROVED
    RESPIRATOR MAY BE NECESSA RY TO PREVENT OVEREXPOSURE BY INHALATION.
Ventilation:THE USE OF LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IS RECOMMENDED TO
    CONTROL PROCESS EMISSIONS NEAR THE SOURCE. LABORATORY SAMPLES
    SHOULD BE HANDLED IN A LAB HOOD.
Protective Gloves:CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES.
Eye Protection:WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS
