Section 5 Health Hazard Information:
Primary Routes of Entry: Dermal, Inhalation, ingestion.
Effects of Overexposure:
Eyes: Severe irritation, redness, tearing blurred vision.
Skin: Moderate irritation, defatting dermatitis.
Inhalation: Nasal and respiratory irritation, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, headache and narcosis. Prolonged or repeated breathing of high concentrations may cause liver and kidney damage and neural dysfunction.
Ingestion: Gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation by Exposure: No known information.

Section 6 Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eye Contact: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove all contaminated clothing.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficult administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped give artificial respiration. Call a physician.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Call a Physician.

Section 7 Reactivity Data:
Stability: Stable
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
Conditions to Avoid: Temperatures exceeding 150°F
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Oxidizing Agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

Section 8 Special Protection Information:
Ventilation: Sufficient mechanical ventilation should be provided to maintain exposure below TLV.
Respiratory Protection: If the TLV is exceeded a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised.
Protective Gloves: Natural rubber or neoprene.
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles are advised.
Other Protective Equipment: Eyewash advised.
Hygienic Practices: Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking.

Section 9 Spill or Leak Procedures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is released or spilled: Eliminate all ignition sources immediately. Dike large spills. Collect with vermiculite or other absorbent material. If TLV is exceeded personnel should wear air supplied respirator or for large spills impervious clothing and boots are advised.
Waste Disposal Method: Chemical incineration.

Section 10 Special Precautions:
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storing: Store in cool dry place. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame.
Other Precautions: Do not use welding or cutting torch on or near empty containers as explosive ignition could occur.
