SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA



FLASH POINT: NONE TOBP METHOD USED: PMCC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME- LOWER:   1.0% UPPER:   7.0%

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: FOAM, CO2, DRY CHEMICAL

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. During emergency conditions over exposure to decomposition products may cause immediate or delayed health hazards.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, sparks, electrical equipment, and open flames. Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat. Hay form toxic materials, C02, CO, Hydrogen Chloride, Phosgene, various hydrocarbons, etc. on thermal decomposition.


SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA

STABILITY: STABLE
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
Do not expose to high temperatures, open ignition sources, or other sources which induce thermal decomposition.

INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID)
Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and selected amines.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS)
May form toxic materials, C02, CO, Hydrogen Chloride, Phosgene, various hydrocarbons, etc. on thermal decomposition.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:WILL NOT OCCUR




SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

STABILITY: STABLE


INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, weakness, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, headache and possible unconsciousness and even asphyxiation.

SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Prolonged or repeated contact can cause moderate irritation, defatting, dermatitis. Can cause severe eye irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision.

SKIN ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Organic solvents are easily absorbed. Drying of the skin, redness or dermatitis are signs of repeated or over exposure to their defatting action.

INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC)
ACUTE-EYES: Can cause severe irritation, redness, tearing, and blurred vision. SKIN: Can cause moderate irritation, defatting, and dermatitis. INHALATION: Can cause nasal and respiratory irritation. Aspiration into lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal. **CHRONIC** Prolonged or repeated exposure above TLV may result inpermanent brain and nervous system damage.
SEE ATTACHED ADDENDUM FOR ADDITIONAL HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION


CARCINOGENICITY: NTP? YES IARC MONOGRAPHS? YES OSHA REGULATED? NO


MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
None known.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYES: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Take to a physician for medical treatment.
SKIN: Wash affected areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Consult a physician if irritation persists.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Restore breathing. Treat symptomatically. Consult a physician.
INGESTION: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute. Do not induce vomiting. Consult physician or poison control center immediately. Treat symptomatically.




SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Eliminate all ignition sources. Dike, contain, or absorb with inert materials (sand, vermiculite, etc.). Transfer to containers for recovery or disposal. Prevent runoff into sewers, streams, or other bodies of water, see sec. II OR VI

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Dispose of in accordance with all local, state, or Federal regulations. Do not dump into sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Do not store or use near sources of high temperatures, near fire or open flame, or other ignition sources. Avoid contact with skin, or breathing vapors.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Do not take internally. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure to levels above TLV. Avoid breathing vapors. Vapors of this product are heavier than air and will collect in confined areas.



SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If TLV is exceeded use NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor and mist mask, supplied air, or self contained breathing apparatus, depending on the vapor concentration in the area. Do not enter area if vapor concentration exceeds OSHA permissible limits for human entry. Consult OSHA requirements.

VENTILATION
Use adequate mechanical (general and/or local) ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV.

PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Wear resistant gloves such as nitrile rubber.

EYE PROTECTION
Use chemical splash goggles or other OSHA permitted safety glasses.

OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
Wear impervious clothing. Eyewash stations.

WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Wash hands before eating or using restrooms. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
