4.2 Effects of Exposure:
Ingestion: If product is swallowed, may cause nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea and central nervous system
depression.
Eyes
: The liquid may produce eye discomfort and is capable of causing temporary impairment of vision and/or
transient eye inflammation, ulceration. The vapor is discomforting to the eye. Splashes may cause severe
eye irritation, possible corneal burns and eye damage. Moderately irritating to the eyes. Symptoms of
overexposure may include redness, itching, irritation and watering.
Skin
: May be irritating to skin, especially after prolonged contact. The product can cause allergic skin reactions
(e.g., rashes, welts, dermatitis) upon prolonged or repeated exposure.
Inhalation
: Vapors of this product may be moderately irritating to the nose, throat and other tissues of the respiratory
system. Symptoms of overexposure can include coughing, wheezing, nasal congestion, and difficulty
breathing. Inhalation of concentrated vapors can cause central nervous system depression (e.g.,
drowsiness, dizziness, headaches, nausea). Odor may give some warning of exposure, but odor fatigue
may occur.
4.3 Symptoms of Overexposure:
Symptoms of skin overexposure may include redness, itching, and irritation of affected areas. Overexposure in eyes
may cause redness, itching and watering. The product can cause allergic skin reactions (e.g., rashes, welts, dermatitis)
upon prolonged or repeated exposure.
4.4 Acute Health Effects:
Moderate irritation to eyes and skin near affected areas. Additionally, high concentrations of vapors can cause
drowsiness, dizziness, headaches and nausea.
4.5 Chronic Health Effects:
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
4.6 Target Organs:
Eyes, Skin, Respiratory System, Central Nervous System, Liver, Kidneys
4.7 Medical Conditions
Aggravated by Exposure:
Pre-existing dermatitis, other skin conditions, and disorders of the
target organs (eyes, skin, and respiratory system).

5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Fire & Explosion Hazards:
DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR! Keep away from heat/ sparks/
open flame/ hot surfaces – No Smoking. Keep container tightly closed. Take precautionary
measures against static discharge.
5.2 Extinguishing Methods:
CO
2
, Halon (if permitted), Dry Chemical, Foam, as authorized.
5.3 Firefighting Procedures:
This product is a Class IB flammable liquid. When involved in a fire, this product will ignite readily
and decompose to produce carbon oxides. Vapors of this product are heavier than air and may
travel to a source of ignition and flash back to a leaking or open container.
First responders should wear eye protection. Structural firefighters must wear SCBAs and full
protective equipment. Use a water spray or fog to reduce or direct vapors. Water may not be
effective in actually extinguishing a fire involving this product.
HazChem Code
: 3[Y]E. Hazard Identification Number: 33
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Spills:
Before cleaning any spill or leak, individuals involved in spill cleanup must wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment.
For small spills
(e.g., < 1 gallon (3.8 L)) wear appropriate personal protective equipment (e.g., goggles, gloves).
Maximize ventilation (open doors and windows) and secure all sources of ignition. Remove spilled material with
absorbent material and place into appropriate closed container(s) for disposal. Dispose of properly in accordance with
local, state and federal regulations. Wash all affected areas and outside of container with plenty of warm water and
soap. Remove any contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
For large spills
(e.g., ≥ 1 gallon (3.8 L)), deny entry to all unprotected individuals. Dike and contain spill with inert
material (e.g., sand or earth). Use ONLY non-sparking tools for recovery and cleanup. Transfer liquid to containers for
recovery or disposal and solid diking material to separate containers for proper disposal. Remove contaminated clothing
promptly and wash affected skin areas with soap and water. Keep spills and cleaning runoffs out of drains, municipal
sewers and open bodies of water.
7. HANDLING & STORAGE INFORMATION
7.1 Work & Hygiene Practices:
Avoid prolonged contact with the product. Avoid breathing vapors of this product. Use in a well-ventilated location (e.g.,
local exhaust ventilation, fans). After use, wash hands and exposed skin with soap and water. Do not eat, drink or
smoke while handling product.
7.2 Storage & Handling:
Keep this material away from heat, sparks and open flame. Open containers slowly on a stable surface. Keep container
closed tightly when not in use. Empty container may contain residual amounts of this product; therefore, empty
containers should be handled with care. Store containers in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, other light
sources, or sources of intense heat. Storage temperature: 32-120 ºF (0-49 ºC). Take precautionary measures against
static discharge. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10).
7.3 Special Precautions:
Open containers slowly on a stable surface. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers may
contain residual amounts of this product; therefore, empty containers should be handled with care.
