| SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM IRRITATION.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: EYE. SKIN. INHALATION (BREATHING).
EYE CONTACT: CAN CAUSE MILD IRRITATION.
SKIN CONTACT: IRRITATION CAN OCCUR FOLLOWING PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT.
INHALATION (BREATHING):
PROCESSING VAPORS CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE UPPER RESPIRATORY
TRACT.
INGESTION (SWALLOWING): INGESTION CAN CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION.
AGGRAVATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS:

| SECTION 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES | |
EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS, CONSULT A
PHYSICIAN.
SKIN CONTACT:
WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS, CONSULT A
PHYSICIAN.

TEST METHOD: SETAFLASH CLOSED CUP
EXPLOSIVE LIMIT:
LEL(%): NOT DETERMINED
UEL(%): NOT DETERMINED
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: NOT DETERMINED.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION AND DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
SMOKE, SOOT, AND TOXIC/IRRITATING FUMES (I.E., CARBON DIOXIDE, CARBON
MONOXIDE, ETC.).
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
MAY LIBERATE IRRITATING OR TOXIC VAPORS DURING COMBUSTION OR DECOMPOSITION.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
BASED ON THE NFPA GUIDE, USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, OR ALCOHOL FOAM
SUITABLE FOR CLASS B FIRES. USE WATER TO COOL CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
FOR LARGE FIRES, USE WATER SPRAY OR FOG, THOROUGHLY DRENCHING THE BURNING
MATERIAL
FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES/EQUIPMENT:
FIRE FIGHTERS AND OTHERS WHO MAY BE EXPOSED TO THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION
SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH NIOSH-APPROVED, POSITIVE-PRESSURE, SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
| SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |

(DILUTION) VENTILATION SHOULD BE ACCEPTABLE.
EYE PROTECTION:
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES. AN EYE WASH FACILITY SHOULD BE READILY AVAILABLE.
SKIN PROTECTION:
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND APPROPRIATE IMPERVIOUS GLOVES.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
AVOID BREATHING VAPOR AND/OR MIST. IF OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE
EXCEEDED WEAR NIOSH/OSHA APPROVED EQUIPMENT. HIGH AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS
MAY NECESSITATE THE USE OF SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) OR A
SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAMS MUST BE IN
