| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
APPEARANCE: CLEAR, COLORLESS SOLUTION
DANGER!
FLAMMABLE LIQUID. POISON. HARMFUL OR FATAL IF INHALED. MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS
IF SWALLOWED OR ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
DEPRESSANT. CANNOT BE MADE NONPOISONOUS. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO EYES,
SKIN, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
TARGET ORGANS:
EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACTS, CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM, OPTIC NERVE, LIVER, KIDNEYS, BLOOD
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE: CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE PERMANENT VISION IMPAIRMENT OR LOSS.
SKIN:
MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION. MAY BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN IN HARMFUL
AMOUNTS.
INGESTION:
MAY CAUSE LIVER AND KIDNEY DAMAGE. INHALATION OR INGESTION CAUSES NARCOTIC
INTOXICATION, HEADACHE, CRAMPS, SEVERE PAIN, AND BLINDNESS. KIDNEY AND
LIVER DAMAGE MAY OCCUR WITH POSSIBLE HEART OR RESPIRATORY FAILURE TO COMA
AND DEATH. SOME SYMPTOMS MAY BE DELAYED FOR DAYS.
INHALATION:
MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. SYMPTOMS OF INHALATION MAY BE
SIMILAR TO THOSE OF INGESTION.
CHRONIC:
MAY CAUSE BLURRED OR PAINFUL VISION, BLINDNESS, DEFATTING OF SKIN, AND
LIVER AND KIDNEY DAMAGE. EXPERIMENTS WITH LABORATORY ANIMALS HAVE SHOWN
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY EFFECTS.
| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYES:
FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY
LIFTING THE UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS. GET MEDICAL AID AT ONCE. DO NOT ALLOW
VICTIM TO RUB OR KEEP EYES CLOSED.

MEDICAL AID. DO NOT USE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY AND SUPPORTIVELY.
| SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
GENERAL INFORMATION:
AS IN ANY FIRE, WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN
PRESSURE-DEMAND, MSHA/NIOSH (APPROVED OR EQUIVALENT), AND FULL PROTECTIVE
GEAR. VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION
AND FLASHBACK. COOL CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY. VAPOR-AIR MIXTURES ARE
EXPLOSIVE.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
FOR SMALL FIRES, USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER SPRAY OR
ALCOHOL-RESISTANT FOAM.

| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
GENERAL INFORMATION:
USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS INDICATED IN SECTION 8.
SPILLS/LEAKS:
SHUT OFF IGNITION SOURCES; AVOID VAPORS. USE NON-SPARKING TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT. ABSORB SPILLS WITH ABSORBENT (VERMICULITE, SAND, FULLER'S EARTH)
AND PLACE IN SUITABLE CONTAINER LABELED FOR LATER DISPOSAL. LABEL RECLAIMED
SPILL MATERIAL AS FLAMMABLE. ISOLATE AND VENTILATE THE SPILL AREA. KEEP OUT
OF SEWERS AND DRAINS.
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING:
WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. GROUND AND BOND CONTAINERS WHEN
TRANSFERRING MATERIAL. AVOID BREATHING DUST, VAPOR, MIST, OR GAS.
KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES AND OTHER SOURCES OF HIGH TEMPERATURES THAT
MAY CAUSE MATERIAL TO FORM VAPORS OR MISTS. USE EXPLOSION-PROOF EQUIPMENT.
STORAGE:
KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, AND FLAME. STORE TIGHTLY CLOSED IN A COOL,
DRY, WELL-VENTILATED PLACE.
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
FACILITIES STORING OR UTILIZING THIS MATERIAL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH AN
EYEWASH FACILITY AND A SAFETY SHOWER. USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO KEEP
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THE PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
