Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur under normal conditions.
Conditions to Avoid: None.
SECTION 6
HEALTH HAZARDS
Acute:
Chronic:
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Breathing of high vapor concentrations may produce narcosis. Liquid
may cause minor skin irritation and definite eye irritation. Causes nose and throat irritation. Causes eye
irritation. Causes skin irritations.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Repeated and prolonged overexposure to
solvents could cause permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intention misuse by deliberately
concentrating & inhaling contents may be harmful or fatal.
Chemical Listed as Carcinogen or Potential Carcinogen:
National Toxicology Program: No
I.A.R.C. Monographs: No
OSHA:
No Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, restore breathing. Consult a physician.
Skin Contact: Flush with water then wash skin throughly with soap and water. Consult a physician.

Ingestion: Get medical attention immediately.
SECTION 7
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND SPILL/LEAK PROCEDURES
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage: Store away from heat, sparks and open flame. Avoid prolonged skin contact.
Do not breath spray mist. Store in cool dry area with ventilation suitable for storing materials shown in section 2.
Other Precautions: Ground containers while pouring. Avoid spontaneous combustion of contaminated rags or other organic materials.
Empty containers may retain hazardous properties and can be dangerous.
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: In case of spoilage absorb with inert material and dispose of in accordance
regulations of E.P.A. and other local, state, and federal authorities.
Waste disposal methods (Consult federal, state, and local regulations):
Place in closed containers. Dispose of product in accordance with local, country, state, and federal regulations.
SECTION 8
SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION/CONTROL MEASURES
Respiratory Protection (specify type): NIOSH/OSHA approved respirator types suitable for materials in section 2 recommended.
Approved chemical/mechanical filters recommended when ventilation is restricted. Do not breathe (dust, vapors or spray mist).
Wear appropriate, respirator (NIOSH/MSHA approved) during & after application unless air monitoring records vapor/mist levels below applicable
limits. Follow respirator manufacturer directions for use.
Ventilation: Sufficient ventilation, in volume and pattern, should be provided
to keep air contamination below current applicable OSHA permissible exposure limit or ACGIH’s TLV limit. Use with adequate ventilation.
Protective Gloves: Chemical resistant plastic or rubber.
Eye Protection: Chemical goggles with side shields or face shield recommended.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: As required to avoid wetting clothing. Use protective creams where skin contact is likely.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Eye bath and safety shower.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Wash throughly after handling.
