MSDS

IARC lists Ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B). May cause central nervous system disorder
(e.g., narcosis involving a loss of coordination, weakness, fatigue, mental confusion, and blurred vision) and/or
damage. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent
brain and nervous system damage. Overexposure to xylene in laboratory animals has been associated with liver
abnormalities, kidney, lung, spleen, eye and blood damage as well as reproductive disorders. Effects in humans,
due to chronic overexposure, have included liver, cardiac abnormalities and nervous system damage.
Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact
First Aid - Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes holding eyelids open.
Get medical attention. Do NOT allow rubbing of eyes or keeping eyes closed.
First Aid - Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
First Aid - Inhalation: If you experience difficulty in breathing, leave the area to obtain fresh air. If continued
difficulty is experienced, get medical assistance immediately.
First Aid - Ingestion: Aspiration hazard: Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth because this material
can enter the lungs and cause severe lung damage. Get immediate medical attention.
Flash Point: -156 F (Setaflash)
Extinguishing Media: Film Forming Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Water Fog
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: Water spray may be ineffective. Closed containers may explode when
exposed to extreme heat. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition
and flash back. FLASH POINT IS LESS THAN 20 °. F. - EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR! Keep
containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Perforation of the
pressurized container may cause bursting of the can.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance.
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled: Remove all sources of ignition, ventilate area and remove
with inert absorbent and non-sparking tools. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. DO NOT use combustible
materials such as sawdust. Dispose of according to local, state (provincial) and federal regulations. Do not
incinerate closed containers.
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied
because it may retain product residues. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Wash
hands before eating.
Storage: Contents under pressure. Do not expose to heat or store above 120 ° F. Keep containers tightly closed.
Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Do not store above 120 ° F. Store large quantities
in buildings designed and protected for storage of NFPA Class I flammable liquids.
