HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Toxicity: Irritation of eyes, skin and respiratory system. May cause nervous system depression. Extreme overexposure may result in unconsciousness and possibly death. Prolonged and repeated exposure to hexane may cause damage to nerve tissue of the arms and legs (peripheral neuropathy), resulting in muscular weakness and loss of sensation.

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (continued) effect may be increased by the presence of methyl ethyl ketons. Prolonged overexposure to solvent ingredients in Section II may cause adverse to the liver, urinary and reproductive systems. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Primary Routes of Entry: Exposure may be by inhalation and/or skin or eye contact, depending on conditions of use. To minimize exposure, follow recommendations for proper use, ventilation, and personal protective equipment. Signs and symptoms of Exposure: Headache, dizziness, nausea, and loss of coordination are indications of excessive exposure to vapors or spray mists. Redness and itching or burning sensation may indicate eye or excessive skin exposure.

FIRST AID MEASURES Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Give conscious patient several glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: If affected, remove from exposure. Restore breathing. Keep warm and quiet. Skin Contact: Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before PERMATEX INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION 07/02/97 ROCKY HILL, CONNECTICUT 06067 TELEPHONE: (860) 571-5100 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Page 03 of 06 Product Name: Electrical Contact and Parts Cleaner Item No.: 25791 4. FIRST AID MEASURES (continued) reuse. Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: -15°F Method: Tag closed cup Recommended Extinguishing Agents: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical Hazardous Products formed by Fire or Thermal Decomp Irritating organic vapors; oxides of carbon. Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks, and open flame. Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat. Application to hot surfaces requires special precautions. During emergency conditions overexposure to decomposition products may cause a helath hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention. Explosive Limits: (% by volume in air)Lower 1.0% (% by volume in air)Upper 12.7% 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Steps to be taken in case of spill or leak: Remove sources of ignition. Maintain good ventilation. Soak up with an inert absorbent. Store in a closed container until disposal. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Safe Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Vapors will accumulate readily and may ignite explosively. (Contact Loctite Customer Service 1-800-243-4874 for shelf Life information) Handling: Keep away from heat, sparks or open flame. Vapors will accumulate readily and may ignite explosively. Keep away from eyes. Avoid breathing of vapor and mists. Avoid skin contact. During use and until all vapors are gone: Keep area ventilated. Do not smoke, Extinguish all flames, pilot lights, and heaters. Turn off stoves, electric tools and appliances, and other sources of ignition. Consult NFPA Code. Use approved bonding and grounding PERMATEX INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION 07/02/97 ROCKY HILL, CONNECTICUT 06067 TELEPHONE: (860) 571-5100 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Page 04 of 06 Product Name: Electrical Contact and Parts Cleaner Item No.: 25791 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE (continued) procedures. Do not puncture, incinerate, or expose to temperature above 120°F. Heat from sunlight radiators, stoves, hot water, and other heat sources could cause container to burst. Do not take internally. Keep out ot the reach of children Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal. Wash hands after using. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION Eyes: Wear safety spectacles with unperforated sideshields. Skin: Rubber or plastic gloves. Ventilation: Local exhaust preferable. General exhaust acceptable if the exposure to materials in Section II is maintained below applicable exposure limits. Refer to OSHA Standards 1910.94, 1910.107, 1910.108. If personal exposure cannot be controlled below applicable limits by ventilation, wear a properly fitted organic/particulate respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for protection against materials in Section II. See Section 2 for Exposure Limits. 9.
