Potential Acute Health Effects:
Eye Contact: Vapors may cause irritation. Eye irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness,
swelling, and/or blurred vision.
Skin Contact: May cause moderate skin irritation. Skin irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation,
redness, swelling and blisters. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause defatting and drying of skin which may result in

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Inhalation: Vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Respiratory irritation signs and symptoms may include a
temporary burning sensation of the nose and throat, coughing and difficulty breathing. If material enters lungs, signs and
symptoms may include coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest congestion, shortness of breath and
fever. High concentrations may cause central nervous system depression resulting in headaches, dizziness and nausea;
continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and/or death.
Ingestion: Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the respiratory system during ingestion or from vomiting may cause
mild to severe pulmonary injury and possibly death. May cause lung damage if swallowed. Aspiration into the lungs
during ingestion or vomiting may lead to chemical pneumonitis.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical
attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Remove from source of exposure. Flush with copious amounts of water. If irritation persists or signs of
toxicity occur, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: If symptoms are experienced, remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. If symptoms
persist, get medical attention. If the affected person is not breathing, apply artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. In situations where administering oxygen is appropriate, first aiders must be trained in the safe use and
handling of oxygen. It is preferable to administer oxygen under a doctor’s supervision or advice. If the heart has stopped,
trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately. Immediate medical assistance is
required.
Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious or convulsing person. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid
into the lungs. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should
begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately.
Notes to Physician: Treatment based on sound judgment of physician and individual reactions of patient.Causes central
nervous system depression. Dermatitis may result from prolonged or repeated exposure. Potential for chemical
pneumonitis. Consider: gastric lavage with protected airway, administration of activated charcoal.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: 14 – 18 C / 57 – 64 F
Flash Point Method: Tag Closed Cup
Autoignition Temperature: 320 C /608 F
Flammable Limits in Air (%): Lower: 0.9% Upper: 7%
Extinguishing Media: Use DRY chemicals, CO2, alcohol foam or water spray. Not recommended: water jet
Special Exposure Hazards: Carbon monoxide may be evolved if incomplete combustion occurs. Product will float and
can be reignited on surface of water. Vapors are heavier than air and may accumulate in low areas. Vapors may travel
along the ground to be ignited at distant locations. Use water spray to cool containers.
Hazardous Decomposition/Combustion Materials (under fire conditions): Carbon monoxide.
Special Protective Equipment: Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing
equipment.
NFPA RATINGS FOR THIS PRODUCT ARE: HEALTH 1, FLAMMABILITY 3, INSTABILITY 0
HMIS RATINGS FOR THIS PRODUCT ARE: HEALTH 1, FLAMMABILITY 3, REACTIVITY 0
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautionary Measures: Wear appropriate protective equipment. Immediately remove all contaminated
clothing.
Environmental Precautionary Measures: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. Consult local authorities.
Procedure for Clean Up: Isolate hazard area and restrict access. Stop leak only if safe to do so. Take precautionary
measures against static discharge. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment.
Monitor area with combustible gas indicator. For small liquid spills (< 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means to a
labeled, sealable container for product recovery or safe disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an
appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
For large liquid spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for recovery or
safe disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain as contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak
up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: For industrial use only. Handle and open containers with care. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do
not ingest. Avoid inhalation of chemical. DO NOT handle or store near an open flame, heat, or other sources of ignition.
Fixed equipment as well as transfer containers and equipment should be grounded to prevent accumulation of static
charge. DO NOT pressurize, cut, heat, or weld containers. Empty containers may contain hazardous product residues.
Keep the containers closed when not in use. Protect against physical damage. Use appropriate personnel protective
equipment. Protect material from direct sunlight. Wash thoroughly after handling. Electrostatic charges may be
generated during pumping. Electrostatic discharge may cause fire. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding
(earthing) all equipment. Restrict line velocity during pumping in order to avoid generation of electrostatic discharge (<=1
m/sec until pipe is submerged to twice it's diameter, then <=7 m/sec). Avoid splash filling. Do NOT use compressed air
for filling, discharging, or handling operations. Extinguish any naked flames. Vapors may accumulate and travel to distant
ignition sources and flashback. Do not wash down the drain.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources. Keep away from direct sunlight.
Use explosion-proof ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation. Keep away from aerosols, flammables, oxidizing agents
and corrosives. Material should be stored in secondary containers or in a diked area, as appropriate. Store at ambient
temperature. Keep containers tightly closed. For containers or container linings use mild steel or stainless steel. For
container paints, use epoxy paint, zinc silicate paint.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls:
Mechanical ventilation is recommended for all indoor situations to control fugitive emissions. Electrical and mechanical
equipment should be explosion proof. Concentrations in air should be maintained below lower explosive limit at all times
or below the recommended threshold limit value if unprotected personnel are involved. Make up air should always be
supplied to balance air exhausted (either generally or locally). Local ventilation recommended where mechanical
ventilation is ineffective in controlling airborne concentrations below the recommended occupational exposure limit.
Respiratory Protection: If exposure exceeds occupational exposure limits, use an appropriate NIOSH approved
respirator. In case of spill or leak resulting in unknown concentration, use a NIOSH approved supplied air respirator.
Gloves:
Appropriate chemical resistant gloves should be worn. Longer term protection - Nitrile rubber gloves. Incidental
contact/Splash protection - PVC or neoprene rubber gloves.
Skin Protection: Skin contact should be prevented through the use of suitable protective clothing, gloves and footwear,
selected for conditions of use and exposure potential. Consideration must be given both to durability as well as
permeation resistance. Impervious boots.
Eyes: Chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield to protect eyes and face, if product is handled such that it could be
splashed into eyes.
Other Personal Protection Data: Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station
location.
