Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: clear, colorless liquid. Flash Point: -22 deg F. Danger! Extremely flammable liquid. May cause central nervous system effects. This substance has caused adverse reproductive and fetal effects in animals. Causes severe eye irritation. May cause skin irritation. May cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause skin sensitization by skin contact.
Target Organs: Kidneys, liver, cardiovascular system, nervous system.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause severe eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis. Dermatitis and vesiculation may result from skin contact with the vapor or liquid. Chronic exposure may result in sensitization.
Ingestion: May cause digestive tract disturbances. May cause effects similar to those for inhalation exposure. Can cause nervous system damage. Ingestion may cause convulsions, seizures and possible coma.
Inhalation: May cause liver and kidney damage. Intoxication can involve all parts of the central and peripheral nervous systems including damage to the nerves with paresthesias, muscle weakness, unsteady gait, tremors, Exposure may accelerate the development or worsen, coronary heart disease.
Chronic: Chronic ingestion may cause liver damage. Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause psychic abnormalities such as anxiety, depression and excitability. May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Chronic exposure may cause visual disturbances. Repeated exposure may cause central and peripheral nervous system damage and digestive tract disturbances. Chronic exposure may cause coronary heart disease.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician: Effects may be delayed. Observe patient.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Combustion generates toxic fumes. Extremely flammable. Material will readily ignite at room temperature. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Do NOT use straight streams of water. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Flash Point: -22e deg F ( -30.00 deg C)
Autoignition Temperature: 257 deg F ( 125.00 deg C)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.3
Upper: 50
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 3; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Use water spray to disperse the gas/vapor. Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as saw dust. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
