| SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
DANGER: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED.
APPEARANCE & ODOR: CLEAR, WATER-WHITE LIQUID WITH MILD SOLVENT ODOR
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
ACUTE EFFECTS:
EYE:
MAY CAUSE MILD IRRITATION INCLUDING STINGING AND REDNESS, BUT DOES NOT
INJURE EYE.
SKIN:
SINGLE, BRIEF EXPOSURES MAY CAUSE MILD IRRITATION. FREQUENT OR PROLONGED
CONTACT MAY CAUSE MORE SEVERE IRRITATION, DEFATTING OF THE SKIN, AND
DERMATITIS.
INHALATION:
HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS ARE IRRITATING TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT AND MAY
CAUSE HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, ANESTHESIA, DROWSINESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND
OTHER CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS, INCLUDING DEATH. MAY CAUSE PERIPHERAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDER AND/OR DAMAGE.
INGESTION:
LOW ORDER OF TOXICITY BY INGESTION. MAIN HAZARD IS ASPIRATION INTO THE LUNGS
DURING SWALLOWING OR VOMITING. SMALL AMOUNTS ASPIRATED INTO THE RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM MAY CAUSE BRONCHOPNEUMONIA OR PULMONARY ADEMA, POSSIBLE PROGRESSING
TO DEATH.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
OVEREXPOSURE TO n-HEXANE MAY CAUSE PROGRESSIVE AND POTENTIALLY IRREVERSIBLE
DAMAGE TO THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY IN THE ARMS AND LEGS.
TARGET ORGANS:
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: SKIN AND RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS

| SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. CALL A PHYSICIAN IF
IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER.
CALL A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING PRIOR TO
RE-USE.
INHALATION:
REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR. KEEP PERSON CALM. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A
PHYSICIAN.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS:
TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY. GASTRIC LAVAGE USING A CUFFED ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE MAY
BE PERFORMED AT YOUR DISCRETION.
| SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES | |
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:
AS DEFINED BY OSHA, THIS PRODUCT IS A CLASS 1B FLAMMABLE LIQUID.
FLASH POINT: <0 DEG. F / -18 DEG. C (TCC)
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: 489 DEG. F / 254 DEG. C
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: 9.0
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: 1.7
FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA:
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
CLASS B FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM OR CO2
PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION: FUMES, SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE
EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
CONTAINERS, WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT FROM FIRE, MAY BUILD PRESSURE AND RUPTURE.
VAPORS MAY ACCUMULATE IN A CONFINED SPACE AND CREATE A FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE.
PROTECTION OF FIRE-FIGHTERS:
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED, NIOSH-APPROVED BREATHING APPARATUS
FOR PROTECTION AGAINST SUFFOCATION AND POSSIBLE TOXIC DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS.PROPER EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED. USE WATER SPRAY
TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL AND TO KNOCK DOWN VAPORS WHICH MAY
RESULT FROM PRODUCT DECOMPOSITION. DO NOT SPRAY WATER DIRECTLY ON FIRE;
PRODUCT WILL FLOAT AND COULD BE REIGNITED ON SURFACE OF WATER.
| SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: USE PERSONAL PROTECTION RECOMMENDED IN SECTION 8.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF GROUND AND SURFACE WATERS. DO
NOT FLUSH INTO SEWERS OR STORM DRAINS.
METHODS FOR CONTAINMENT & CLEAN-UP:
DIKE AREA TO CONTAIN SPILL. REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. VENTILATE THE
AREA WITH FRESH AIR. IF IN CONFINED SPACE OR LIMITED AIR CIRCULATION AREA,
CLEAN-UP WORKERS SHOULD WEAR APPROPRIATE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. RECOVER OR
ABSORB SPILLED MATERIAL USING AN ABSORBENT DESIGNED FOR CHEMICAL SPILLS.
PLACE USED ABSORBENTS INTO PROPER WASTE CONTAINERS.
| SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING PROCEDURES:
USE PROPER GROUNDING AND BONDING PROCEDURES FOR TRANSFERRING MATERIALS. DO
NOT USE PRODUCT NEAR ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED WHEN NOT
IN USE. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES AND SKIN.
AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. FOR PRODUCT USE INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE SEE THE PRODUCT
LABEL.
STORAGE PROCEDURES:
STORE IN A COOL DRY AREA OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND AWAY FROM SOURCES OF
IGNITION. CONTAINERS SHOULD BE TIGHTLY CLOSED WHILE IN STORAGE.
AEROSOL STORAGE LEVEL: NA

CONTROLS AND PROTECTION:
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
AREA SHOULD HAVE VENTILATION TO PROVIDE FRESH AIR. LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION
IS GENERALLY PREFERRED BECAUSE IT CAN CONTROL THE EMISSIONS OF THE
CONTAMINANT AT THE SOURCE, PREVENTING DISPERSION INTO THE GENERAL WORK AREA.
USE MECHANICAL MEANS IF NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN VAPOR LEVELS BELOW THE
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES. IF WORKING IN A CONFINED SPACE, FOLLOW APPLICABLE OSHA
REGULATIONS.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
NONE REQUIRED FOR NORMAL WORK WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS PROVIDED. IF
ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE NOT FEASIBLE OR IF EXPOSURE EXCEEDS THE APPLICABLE
EXPOSURE LIMITS, USE A NIOSH-APPROVED CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR WITH ORGANIC
VAPOR CARTRIDGE. AIR MONITORING IS NEEDED TO DETERMINE ACTUAL EMPLOYEE
EXPOSURE LEVELS. USE A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN CONFINED SPACES
AND FOR EMERGENCIES.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
FOR NORMAL CONDITIONS, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. WHERE THERE IS REASONABLE
PROBABILITY OF LIQUID CONTACT, WEAR SPLASH-PROOF GOGGLES.
SKIN PROTECTION:
USE PROTECTIVE GLOVES SUCH AS NITRILE, PVC OR VITON. ALSO, USE FULL
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IF THERE IS PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT OF LIQUID WITH
SKIN.
