=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION OR INGESTION MAY CAUSE
    INTOXICATION OR ASPHYXIATION. SKIN CONTACT CAN CAUSE DEFATTING.
    PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY OR HEART PROBLEMS MAY HAVE
    THE CONDITION AGGRAVATED. INHALATION:  AT LOW LEVELS OF
    CONCENTRATION, INITIAL SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, LOSS
    OF CONCENTRATION, AND IRRITATION. WITH HIGH EXPOSURE LEVELS,
    CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION (INTOXICATION), CARD IAC
    ARRYTHMIA, DECREASED BODY WEIGHT. PRODUCT VAPORS DISPLACE AIR CAN
    CAUSE ASPHYXIATION, ESPECIALLY IN CONFINED SPACES. EYE CONTACT:
    IRRITANT. LIQUID CONTACT WILL IRRITATE EYES AND MAY CAUSE CONJUNCT
    IVITIS. (EFTS OF OVEREXP).
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: SKIN CONTACT: DEFATTING OF THE SKIN
    CAN CAUSE IRRITATION. NO ABSORPTION TOXICITY DATA IS AVAILABLE.
    INGESTION: SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AS FOR INHALATION. DISCOMFORT DUE TO
    THE VOLATILITY WOULD BE E XPECTED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS W/PREXISTING CHRONIC RESP
    DISEASES/HEART DISORDER SHOULD REFRAIN FROM BREATHING EXCESSIVE
    CARBON DIOXIDE. RECOVERY IS USUALLY RAPID FROM SHORT TERM
    OVER-EXPOSURE (SUPDAT)

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHAL: REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH
    RESUSCITATION IF BRTHG HAS STOPPED. GIVE OXYGEN AS NEC IF A
    QUALIFIED OPERATOR IS AVAIL. DO NOT GIVE STIMULANTS OF ADRENALIN
    (EPINEPHRINE). GET M ED ATTN IMMED. EYE: FLUSH W/LGE AMTS OF WATER
    FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN, LIFTING EYELIDS PERIODICALLY UNTIL NO EVIDENCE
    OF CHEM REMAINS. GET MED ATTN. SKIN: WASH PROMPTLY W/SOAP & WATER
    FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN  WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING & SHOES.
    GET MED ATTN IMMEDIATELY. THOROUGHLY CLEAN CONTAMINATED CLOTHING &
    SHOES BEFORE RE-USE OR DISCARD. INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DO
    NOT GIVE STIMULANTS.  TAKE IMMED TO HOSPITAL OR PHYSICIAN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NONE
Lower Limits:6.0%
Upper Limits:20.3%
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER SPRAY, OR
    ALCOHOL FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT . COOL FIRE-EXPOSED AEROSOL CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONCENTRATED VAPORS IN CONFINED OR POORLY
    VENTILATED AREAS ARE IGNITABLE BY HIGH INTENSITY HEAT SOURCES OR
    OPEN FLAMES. HIGH TEMPERATURES CAN CAUSE AEROSOLS TO FAIL
    VIOLENTLY.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE OPEN FLAMES, HIGH-INTENSITY HEAT
    SOURCES. WEARING PROTECTIVE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT
    AND CLOTHING, TAKE UP SPILL ON INERT ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND
    TRANSFER TO APPROVED WASTE CONTAINE RS. DO NOT FLUSH SPILLS OR
    RESIDUE INTO SEWERS OR SURFACE WATER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AWAY FROM HEAT, FLAME,
    INCOMPATIBLE AND OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT, AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 120F
    (49C). USE AWAY FROM HEAT, FLAME, HIGH-INTENSITY HEAT SOURCES.
Other Precautions:AVOID BREATHING VAPORS, AEROSOL SPRAYS AND MISTS.
    AVOID SKIN CONTACT, EYE CONTACT, INGESTION. USE WITH ADEQUATE
    VENTILATION. INTENTIONAL INHALATION ABUSE CAN BE HARMFUL OF FATAL.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. IF ANY
    TLV IS EXCEEDED, WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED POSITIVE
    PRESSURE RESPIRATOR WHERE AIR CAN BE DISPLACED BY VAPORS AND IN
    EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST/MECHANICAL: KEEP BELOW TLV.
Protective Gloves:POLYVINYL ALCOHOL OR NEOPRENE.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:EYEWASH & DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI DESIGN
    CRITERIA . WEAR AN IMPERVIOUS APRON OR OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AS
    NEEDED TO PREVENT UNNECESSARY SKIN CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID OR ITS
    SPRAYS DURING USE.
Work Hygienic Practices:USE GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICES. WASH
    HANDS AFTER USE, BEFORE EATING, DRINKING OR SMOKING USING SOAP AND
    WATER. NO EATING, DRINKING OR SMOKING AT POINT OF USE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
