HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (ANSI Section 3)
Primary route(s) of exposure : Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion.
Effects of overexposure :
Inhalation : Irritation of respiratory tract. Prolonged inhalation may lead to mucous membrane
irritation, fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness and/or lightheadedness, headache, uncoordination,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, chest pain, blurred vision, flu-like symptoms,
coughing, sneezing, difficulty with speech, apathy, central nervous system depression,
anesthetic effect or narcosis, difficulty of breathing, allergic response, fever and chills, tremors,
abnormal blood pressure, severe lung irritation or damage, liver damage, kidney damage,
pulmonary edema, pneumoconiosis, loss of consciousness, respiratory failure, asphyxiation,
death. Possible sensitization to respiratory tract.
Skin contact : Irritation of skin. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause dermatitis, defatting,
blistering, allergic response, severe skin irritation, severe skin irritation or burns. Possible
sensitization to skin.
Eye contact : Irritation of eyes. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause conjunctivitis, blurred vision,
tearing of eyes, redness of eyes, severe eye irritation, severe eye irritation or burns, corneal
injury.
Ingestion : Ingestion may cause lung inflammation and damage due to aspiration of material into
lungs, mouth and throat irritation, drowsiness, dizziness and/or lightheadedness, headache,
uncoordination, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastro-intestinal disturbances, abdominal pain,
visual disturbances, apathy, central nervous system depression, anesthetic effect or narcosis,
burns of the mouth, throat, stomach, liver damage, kidney damage, pulmonary edema, loss of
consciousness, respiratory failure, death.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure : Eye, skin, respiratory disorders, lung disorders,
asthma-like conditions, respiratory disorders.
FIRST-AID MEASURES (ANSI Section 4)
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Restore and support continued breathing. Get emergency medical
attention. Have trained person give oxygen if necessary. Get medical help for any breathing
difficulty.
Skin contact : Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If any product remains, gently rub petroleum
jelly, vegetable or mineral/baby oil onto skin. Repeated applications may be needed. Remove
contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Dispose of contaminated
leather items, such as shoes and belts. If irritation occurs, consult a physician.
Eye contact : Flush immediately with large amounts of water, especially under lids for at least 15
minutes. If irritation or other effects persist, obtain medical treatment.
Ingestion : If swallowed, obtain medical treatment immediately.
FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES (ANSI Section 5)
Fire extinguishing media : Dry chemical or foam water fog. Carbon dioxide. Closed containers may
explode when exposed to extreme heat or fire. Vapors may ignite explosively at ambient
temperatures. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances to a source of ignition and
flash back. Vapors can form explosive mixtures in air at elevated temperatures. Closed containers
may burst if exposed to extreme heat or fire. May decompose under fire conditions emitting irritant
and/or toxic gases.
Fire fighting procedures : Water may be used to cool and protect exposed containers. Firefighters
should use full protective clothing, eye protection, and self-contained breathing apparatus. Self-
contained breathing apparatus recommended.
Hazardous decomposition or combustion products : Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of
nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, ammonia, aldehydes, toxic gases, barium compounds. Cyanides.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (ANSI Section 6)
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled : Comply with all applicable health and
environmental regulations. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Ventilate area with
explosion-proof equipment. Spills may be collected with absorbent materials. Use non-sparking
tools. Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Place collected material in proper container. Complete
personal protective equipment must be used during cleanup. Large spills - shut off leak if safe to do
so. Dike and contain spill. Pump to storage or salvage vessels. Use absorbent to pick up excess
residue. Keep salvageable material and rinse water out of sewers and water courses. Small spills -
use absorbent to pick up residue and dispose of properly.
HANDLING AND STORAGE (ANSI Section 7)
Handling and storage : Store below 80f. Store below 100f (38c). Keep away from heat, sparks and
open flame. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat and all sources of ignition.
Other precautions : Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not take internally. Keep out of reach of
children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and breathing of vapors. Wash hands thoroughly after
handling, especially before eating or smoking. Keep containers tightly closed and upright when not
in use. Empty containers may contain hazardous residues. Ground equipment when transferring to
prevent accumulation of static charge.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION (ANSI Section 8)
Respiratory protection : Control environmental concentrations below applicable exposure standards
when using this material. When respiratory protection is determined to be necessary, use a
NIOSH/MSHA (Canadian z94.4) Approved elastomeric sealing- surface facepiece respirator
outfitted with organic vapor cartridges and paint spray (dust/mist) prefilters. Determine the proper
level of protection by conducting appropriate air monitoring. Consult 29CFR1910.134 For selection
of respirators (Canadian z94.4).
Ventilation : Provide dilution ventilation or local exhaust to prevent build-up of vapors. Use explosion-
proof equipment. Use non-sparking equipment.
Personal protective equipment : Eye wash, safety shower, safety glasses or goggles. Impervious
gloves, impervious clothing, face shield, apron.
STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (ANSI Section 10)
Under normal conditions : Stable see section 5 fire fighting measures
Materials to avoid : Oxidizers, acids, reducing agents, bases, aldehydes, ketones, halogens, amines,
carbon tetrachloride (at elevated temperatures), aluminum, nitric acid, metal compounds, lewis acids,
mineral acids.
Conditions to avoid : Elevated temperatures, moisture, contact with oxidizing agent, storage near
acids, sparks, open flame, ignition sources.
Hazardous polymerization : Will not occur may polymerize in presence of aliphatic amines.
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (ANSI Section 11)
Supplemental health information : Contains a chemical that is moderately toxic by ingestion.
Contains a chemical that may be absorbed through skin. Excessive inhalation of fumes may lead
to metal fume fever characterized by a metallic taste in mouth, excessive thirst, coughing,
weakness, fatigue, muscular pain, nausea, chills and fever. Notice - reports have associated
repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and
nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the
contents may be harmful or fatal. Other effects of overexposure may include toxicity to liver,
kidney, central nervous system, blood.
