MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
emergency room, or physician immediately for instructions. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
This product contains methylene chloride and methanol.
This product contains methanol which can cause intoxication and central nervous system depression. Methanol is
metabolized to formic acid and formaldehyde. These metabolites can cause metabolic acidosis, visual
disturbances and blindness. Since metabolism is required for these toxic symptoms, their onset may be delayed
from 6 to 30 hours following ingestion. Ethanol competes for the same metabolic pathway and has been used to
prevent methanol metabolism. Ethanol administration is indicated in symptomatic patients or at blood methanol
concentrations above 20 ug/dl. Methanol is effectively removed by hemodialysis.
Adrenalin should never be given to a person overexposed to methylene chloride.
Methylene Chloride is an aspiration hazard. Risk of aspiration must be weighed against possible toxicity of the
material when determining whether to induce emesis or to perform gastric lavage. This material sensitizes the
heart to the effects of sympathomimetic amines. Epinephrine and other sympathomimetic drugs may initiate
cardiac arrhythmias in individuals exposed to this material. This material is metabolized to carbon monoxide.
Consequently, elevations in carboxyhemoglobin as high as 50% have been reported, and levels may continue to
rise for several hours after exposure has ceased. Data in experimental animals suggest there is a narrow margin
between concentrations causing anesthesia and death.
Note to Physician
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flammability Classification:
NFPA Class IIIB
Flash Pt:
NP
Explosive Limits:
LEL: No data. UEL: No data.
Self-contained respiratory protection should be provided for fire fighters fighting fires in buildings or confined
areas. Storage containers exposed to fire should be kept cool with water spray to prevent pressure build-up. Stay
away from heads of containers that have been exposed to intense heat or flame.
Fire Fighting Instructions
No flash to boil.
Contact of liquid or vapor with flame or hot surfaces will produce toxic gases and a corrosive residue that will
cause deterioration of metal.
Vapors are heavier than air and will tend to collect in low areas.
Flammable Properties and Hazards
Thermal decomposition or combustion may produce hydrogen chloride, chlorine, phosgene, and oxides of carbon.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Use carbon dioxide, dry powder, water spray, or foam.
Extinguishing Media
None known.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
6. Accidental Release Measures
Isolate the immediate area. Prevent unauthorized entry. Eliminate all sources of ignition in area and downwind of
the spill area. Stay upwind, out of low areas, and ventilate closed spaces before entering. All equipment used
when handling this product must be grounded or non-sparking. Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, or confined areas. A vapor
suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand, or other non-combustible
material and transfer to compatible containers.
