Appearance: Yellowish liquid POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC) Symptoms of Exposure: May be harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, irritation of respiratory passages, dizziness, coma. Aspiration of material into lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis. Irritating on contact with skin, eyes or mucous membranes. Medical Cond. Aggravated by Exposure: Data not available. Routes of Entry: Inhalation, ingestion Carcinogenicity: The material is not listed (IARC, NTP, OSHA) as cancer causing agent. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Emergency First Aid: GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE. Skin: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Eyes: Immediately flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air; give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; get immediate medical attention. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point (F): 137F Flammable Limits LEL (%): N/A Flammable Limits UEL (%): N/A Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, CO2 Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Fire & Explosion Hazards: Vapor can travel distances to ignition source and flash back. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Spill Response: Evacuate the area of all unnecessary personnel. Wear suitable protective equipment listed under Exposure / Personal Protection. Eliminate any ignition sources until the area is determined to be free from explosion or fire hazards. Contain the release and eliminate its source, if this can be done without risk. Take up and containerize for proper disposal as described under Disposal. Comply with Federal, State, and local regulations on reporting releases. Refer to Regulatory Information for reportable quantity and other regulatory data. EM SCIENCE recommends Spill-X absorbent agents for various types of spills. Additional information on the Spill-X products can be provided through the EM SCIENCE Technical Service Department (856) 423-6300. The following EM SCIENCE Spill-X absorbent is recommended for this product: SX0863 Solvent Spill Treatment Kit 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling & Storage: Do not breathe vapor. Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry area away from heat, sparks and open flame. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Retained residue may make empty containers hazardous; use caution! 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Ventilation, Respiratory Protection, Protective Clothing, Eye Protection: Respiratory Protection: If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see TLV/PEL), a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your safety equipment supplier). Engineering and/or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure. Material should be handled or transferred in an approved fume hood or with adequate ventilation. Protective gloves (Neoprene, Nitrile, PVA or equivalent) should be worn to prevent skin contact. Safety glasses with side shields should be worn at all times. Work/Hygenic Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not take internally. Eye wash and safety equipment should be readily available.
