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

LD50 LC50 Mixture:LC50:INHAL, RAT:32,000 PPM
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHAL:HIGH CONCS OF VAP IS HARMFUL &
    MAY CAUSE HEART IRREGULARITIES, UNCON, OR DEATH. INTENTIONAL MISUSE
    CAN BE FATAL. VAP REDUCES OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR BRTHG & IS HEAVIER
    THAN AIR. PROD CAUSES MILD EY E IRRIT. DECOMP PRODS ARE HAZ. CMPD
    IS NOT SKIN IRRIT, IS A MILD EYE IRRIT/IS NOT A SKIN SENSIT IN (SEE
    EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:ANIMALS. TOXIC EFTS NOTED IN ANIMALS
    FROM EXPOS BY INHAL AT CONCS OF 10,000 PPM OR GREATER INCLUDE CNS,
    ANAESTHETIC, SLIGHT LIVER & NONSPECIFIC PRETERMINAL EFTS. NO ANIMAL
    TEST REPORTS ARE AV AILABLE TO DEFINE CARCIN OR REPRODUCTIVE HAZ.
    ANIMAL TESTING INDICATES THAT THIS CMPD DOES NOT HAVE (SEE SUPP
    DATA)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS W/PRE-EXISTING DISEASES
    OF CENTRAL NERVOUS OR CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM MAY HAVE INCREASED
    SUSCEPTIBILITY TO TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES.

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

First Aid:INHAL:IMMED REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. KEEP CALM. SUPPORT BRTHG
    (GIVE O2/ARTF RESP). CALL MD. EYE:IMMED FLUSH W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR
    AT LEAST 15 MINS. CALL MD. SKIN:FLUSH W/WATER. GET MD IF IRRIT IS
    PRESENT.  INGEST:NO SPECIFIC INTERVENTION IS INDICATED AS CMPD IS
    NOT LIKELY TO BE HAZ. CALL MD IF NECESSARY. DO NOT INDUCE VOMIT
    BECAUSE HAZ OF ASPIRATING MATL INTO LUNGS IS CONSIDERED GREATER(SEE
    INGRED 6)

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

Flash Point:WILL NOT BURN
Extinguishing Media:AS APPROPRIATE FOR COMBUSTIBLES IN AREA.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL CONTAINERS. WEAR
    NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED PRESS DEMAND SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP  IF DRUMS
    RUPTURE/CONTENTS SPILLED UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE UNDER FIRE
    CONDITIONS. DECOMPOSITION MAY OCCUR. THERMAL DECOMP PRODS MAY
    INCLUDE FLUORIDES, CHLORIDES & PHOSGENE .

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

Spill Release Procedures:DIKE SPILL. PVNT LIQ FROM ENTERING SEWERS,
    WATERWAYS OR LOW AREAS. VENT AREA. COLLECT ON ABSORB MATL &
    TRANSFER TO STEEL DRUMS FOR RECOVERY/DISPOSAL. USE APPROP PERSONAL
    PROT EQUIP DURING CLEANUP. NOT E:REVIEW FIRE & EXPLO HAZ & SAFETY
    PRECFIRST.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:CLEAN, DRY AREA. DO NOT HEAT ABOVE
    125F.
Other Precautions:AVOID BRTHG HIGH CONCS OF VAP. PROVIDE ADEQ VENT FOR
    STORAGE, HNDLG & USE, ESPECIALLY FOR ENCLOSED OR LOW SPACES. AVOID
    CNTCT OF LIQ W/EYES & PRLNGD SKIN EXPOS. DO NOT ALLOW PROD TO CNTCT
    OPEN FLAME/E LEC HEATING ELEMENTS (SEE INGRED 8)

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:UNDER NORMAL MFG CONDITIONS NO RESP PROTECTION
    IS REQUIRED. NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA IS REQUIRED IF A LARGE SPILL
    OCCURS.
Ventilation:NORM VENT FOR STD MFG PROC. LOCAL EXHST SHOULD BE USED WHEN
    LG AMTS RELEASED. MECH VENT SHOULD BE USED IN LOW PLACES.
Protective Gloves:BUTYL GLOVES.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
