Extinguisher Media: Dry <strong>chemical</strong> or alcohol foam, carbon<br />
dioxide, water in the form of fog. Use<br />
extinguishing media suitable for<br />
surrounding fires.<br />
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective equipment<br />
including self contained breathing<br />
apparatus for large fires. For small fires<br />
use a portable fire extinguisher. Use<br />
water spray to cool all nearby fire<br />
exposed surfaces.<br />

SECTION (6): TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES<br />
ROUTE OF ENTRY INFORMATION: Skin, eye contact and inhalation<br />
Irritancy: Irritating to skin, eyes, and<br />
respiratory system.<br />
Effects of Accute Exposure to Product: Product exposure may irritate<br />
skin and eyes. Prolonged<br />
inhalation of vapours or mists<br />
may cause respiratory irritation,<br />
headaches, nausea, etc. Also<br />
may be harmful if absorbed<br />
through skin. Ingestion may<br />
cause gastrointestinal and<br />
abdominal discomfort, and<br />
symptoms similar to inhalation.<br />
Small amounts of liquid aspirated<br />
into lungs during ingestion or<br />
from vomiting may cause mild to<br />
severe pulmonary injury.<br />

SECTION (6): TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES (cont'd)<br />
Effect of Chronic Exposure to Product: Prolonged or repeated exposure<br />
may cause skin irritation or<br />
dermatitis. Also may cause blood<br />
disorders through skin absorption<br />
of ethylene glycol monobutyl<br />
ether (based on animal test <strong>data</strong>).<br />
Exposure Limits: See Section 2 under Hazardous<br />
Ingredients.<br />

SECTION (7): PREVENTATIVE MEASURES<br />
Respiratory Protection:<br />
If exposed to vapours or mists, and depending on the exposure level, wear an<br />
approved half-face or full face dust/mist and organic vapour respirator.<br />
Engineering Controls:<br />
Good general ventilation or local exhaust ventilation for product used in confined<br />
areas.<br />
Protective Gloves:<br />
Nitrile, neoprene or viton gloves.<br />
Eye Protection:<br />
Use Chemical goggles, <strong>safety</strong> goggles or face shield.<br />
Disposal Procedures for Spills or Leaks:<br />
Wear protective equipment. Extinguish all nearby sources of ignition. Keep <strong>material</strong><br />
away from sewers. Dike and contain large spills. Pump spill into an approved,<br />
flammable waste container. For small spills soak up with a suitable absorbent such as<br />
clay, soil, or commercially available absorbents and scoop int an approved flammable<br />
waste container.<br />
Waste Disposal Method:<br />
Reuse if possible, or otherwise dispose of in accordance with all local, provincial or<br />
federal regulations.<br />
Storage and Handling Procedures:<br />
Use good industrial hygiene. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid<br />
breathing vapours or mists. Use with adequate ventilation. Store in a cool dry place<br />
away from all sources of ignition and incompatibles. Keep container tightly closed<br />
when not in use. Use proper grounding procedures when handling. Empty container<br />
may contain flammable residues/vapours. Store at temperatures below 30 o C.<br />
Other Protective Equipment:<br />
Rubber apron or long sleeved clothing. Eye wash and shower are recommended in<br />
the immediate work area. .../5
