* Title III Section 313 Supplier Notification: This product contains toxic chemicals subject to the reporting requirements of Section 313 of the Emergency Planning
and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 and of 40CFR372. This information must be included in all MSDS's that are copied and distributed for this material.
# Invista and BASF mfg's Acceptable Exposure Limit (AEL) guidelines for 8 hour and 12 hour TWA, Invista/BASF recommended STEL for 15 minute TWA: 75 PPM.
**Information found in a report from the National Toxicology Program (NTP) on an inhalation study in rats and mice suggests that Tetrahydrofuran (THF) can cause
tumors in animals. In the study the rats and mice were exposed to THF vapor levels up to 1800 PPM for two years (their lifetime), 6 hours/day, 5 days/week. Test
results showed evidence of liver tumors in female mice and kidney tumors in male rats. No evidence of tumors was seen in female rats and male mice. There is no
data linking Tetrahydrofuran exposure with cancer in humans.

FLASH POINT FLAMMABLE LIMITS LEL UEL
-4°F (-20°C) T.C.C. Based on THF (PERCENT BY VOLUME) 2.0 11.8
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Ansul "Purple K" potassium bicarbonate dry chemical, carbon dioxide, National Aer-O-Foam universal alcohol resistant foam, water spray.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Evacuate enclosed areas. Stay upwind. Close or confined quarters require self-contained breathing apparatus, positive pressure masks or airline masks.
Use water spray to cool containers, to flush spills from source of ignition and to disperse vapors.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Fire hazard because of low flash point and high volatility. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to source(s) of ignition at or near floor or lower levels and may flash
back. Sheet 1 of 2 ƒƒ-d
