EYE CONTACT<br />
SKIN CONTACT<br />
INGESTION<br />
Flush eyes with large amounts of low pressure running water for at least<br />
15 minutes. Keep eyelids open while flushing. Get medical attention if<br />
irritation persists.<br />
Rinse immediately with water and soap. Remove soiled clothing and<br />
wash before wearing again. Seek medical attention.<br />
Obtain medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Guard<br />
against aspiration into lungs. Place the victim in a stable side position<br />
1
and keep warm. Do not give anything by mouth to a convulsing or<br />
unconscious person.<br />
-INHALATION<br />
The main hazard following accidental ingestion is aspiration of the liquid<br />
into the lungs. If more than 2,0 mg/kg has been ingested, vomiting<br />
should be induced with supervision. If symptoms such as loss of gag<br />
reflex, convulsions, or unconsciousness occur before vomiting, gastric<br />
wash with a cuffed endotracheal tube should be considered. Cardiac<br />
arrhythmia has been reported with solvent exposure.<br />

Water fog, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide.<br />
Flammable. Vapors may travel along ground and flashback along vapor<br />
trail may occur. Do not use water except as a fog. Product will float and<br />
can be reignited on surface of water. Use water spray to cool fireexposed<br />
containers and structures. Always stay away from ends of<br />
containers due to explosive potential. Fight fire from maximum distance.<br />
Wear adequate protective clothing and an approved positive pressure<br />
self-contained breathing apparatus.<br />
Vapor forms an explosive mixture with air between upper and lower<br />
flammable limits. Sensitive to static discharge.<br />
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.<br />

6-ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES<br />
-CLEAN UP PROCEDURE<br />
-EVACUATION PROCEDURES<br />
-SPECIAL INSTRUCTION<br />
Try to work up wind of spill. Avoid direct contact with material. Saturated<br />
clothing should be immediately removed. Wear appropriate breathing<br />
apparatus and protective clothing. Stop leak only if safe to do so. Dike<br />
and contain land spills; contain water spills by booming. Use water fog to<br />
knock down vapors; contain run-off. For large spills, remove by<br />
mechanical means and place in containers. Absorb residue or small<br />
spills with absorbent material (sand or earth) and remove to non-leaking<br />
containers for disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace residue.<br />
Issue warning “Flammable”. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Isolate<br />
hazard area and restrict access.<br />
Notify appropriate environmental agency (ies).<br />
7-HANDLING AND STORAGE<br />
Avoid breathing vapors. Wear protective equipment during handling. Keep away from heat, sparks and open<br />
flame. Fixed equipment as well as transfer containers and equipment should be grounded to prevent<br />
accumulation of static charge. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area.<br />

-ENGINNERING CONTROLS<br />
-GLOVES<br />
-RESPIRATORY<br />
-EYE/FACE<br />
-HYGIENE<br />
Concentrations in air should be maintained below lower explosive limit at<br />
all times. Make-up air should always be supplied to balance air<br />
exhausted. Electrical and mechanical equipment should be explosionproof.<br />
Wear impervious gloves. Polyvinyl alcohol or viton.<br />
Avoid breathing vapor and/or mist. If exposure exceeds occupational<br />
exposure limits, wear a NIOSH-approved respirator. Use either an<br />
atmosphere-supplying respirator or an air-purifying respirator for organic<br />
vapors. Proper equipment for high concentrations includes an<br />
atmosphere supplied, positive pressure demand, self-contained or airline<br />
breathing apparatus.<br />
Chemical safety goggles.<br />
Wash hands thoroughly after handling and before eating. Keep food and<br />
beverages away from dusts.<br />
-VENTILATION See ENGINEERING CONTROLS. Mechanical ventilation is<br />
recommended for all indoor situations.<br />

-ACUTE INHALATION<br />
-INGESTION<br />
-EFFECTS OF:<br />
ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE<br />
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE<br />
Irritation. Maybe absorbed through skin.<br />
Moderate irritation<br />
Slightly irratating to respiratory system.<br />
May cause lung damage if swallowed. Moderately toxic.<br />
Refer to route of entry<br />
Prolonged and repeated contact with skin can cause defatting and drying<br />
of the skin, resulting in skin irritation and dermatitis.<br />
Vapors are moderately irritating to the eyes and respiratory passages.<br />
Prolonged exposure to high vapor concentration can cause headache,<br />
dizziness, nausea, and central nervous system depression. In rare cases<br />
may sensitize heart muscle causing heart arrhythmia. Solvent abusers<br />
exposed to high doses of aromatic solvents ( toluene, xylene) show signs<br />
of hearing loss as well as damage to the brain, liver and kidney.<br />
