occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system
damage.
Carcinogenicity: no data.
Effects of Exposure:
Very dangerous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), or of
inhalation. Slightly dangerous to dangerous in case of skin contact (permeator), or
of ingestion. This product may irritate eyes and skin upon contact. Inflammation
of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is
characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or occasionally, blistering.

Section 7 - Preventative Measures
Recommendations listed in this section indicate the type of equipment which will
provide protection against overexposure to this product. Conditions of use,
adequacy of engineering or other control measures, and actual exposures will
dictate the need for specific protective devices at your workplace.
Skin protection: Gloves and protective clothing made from neoprene rubber
should be impervious under normal conditions of use.
Eye protection: Safety glasses with side shields are recommended. Use
chemical safety goggles if there is a potential for eye contact.
Other Personal Protective Equipment: Avoid contact with product by wearing
chemical protective clothing and rubber boots if necessary. Eye wash fountains
and safety shower facilities should be provided nearby for emergency use.
Respiratory protection: Based on contamination level and working limits of the
respirator, use a respirator approved by both NIOSH and MSHA.
Ventilation Requirements: This product should be used in a well ventilated area
at all times. Local exhaust ventilation may be required and must be corrosion
proof. Do not use this product in a poorly ventilated or confined area without
approved respiratory protection.
Action to take for spills & leaks: Eliminate all sources of ignition. Wear
chemical protective clothing, rubber gloves and suitable respiratory protection.
SMALL SPILLS should be wiped up with absorbent material and disposed of in
government approved waste containers.
LARGER SPILLS should be contained by diking with sand, soil or other absorbent,
non-combustible material, then transferred into approved waste containers for
proper disposal. Keep product out of sewers, storm drains, surface run-off water
and soil. Can be dangerous if allowed to enter potable water intakes. Wear
appropriate respiratory protection and restrict access to non-protected personnel.
Comply with all government regulations on spill reporting, and handling and
disposal of waste.
Disposal methods: Dispose of contaminated product and materials used in
cleaning up spills or leaks in a manner approved for this material. Consult
appropriate federal, provincial and local regulatory agencies to ascertain proper
disposal procedures.
Note: Empty containers can have residues, gasses and mists, and are subject to
proper waste disposal as mentioned above.
Repair and Maintenance Precautions: Do not cut, grind, weld or drill in, on or
near this container. Do not re-use the original container for any other product,
substance, food or drink.
Storage and Handling Procedures: Store in totally enclosed equipment
designed to avoid human contact. Tanks must be grounded and vented and must
be nitrogen blanketed and diked. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. No
smoking or open flame in storage, use or handling areas. Use explosion proof
electrical equipment. Ensure proper electrical grounding procedures are in place.
Avoid protective materials of natural rubber, use neoprene, or check with
manufacturer.
Section 8 - First Aid Measures
If inhaled: Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
Get immediate emergency medical attention.
In case of eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with clean water for at least
fifteen (15) minutes, lifting the upper and lower eye lids occasionally. Get
immediate emergency medical attention.
In case of skin contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of clean running water
for at least fifteen (15) minutes, use soap and water for final clean-up. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash and launder clothes before re-use. If
irritation persists after washing, get immediate medical attention.
In case of ingestion or swallowing: If victim is conscious and not convulsing,
rinse mouth out with water, and give several glasses of water or milk to dilute
stomach contents, then induce vomiting. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
UNCONSCIOUS VICTIM. Immediately contact local poison control centre. If
spontaneous vomiting occurs, have patient lean forward with head down to avoid
breathing in the vomitus. Rinse mouth out and administer more water. GET
IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY MEDICAL ATTENTION.
