See Toxicological Information (Section11)

Potential environmental effects

See Ecological Information (Section 12)

Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected

Eye(s) Contact: If this product is splashed into the eyes, flush eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 30 minutes. Consult a poison center, emergency room or eye specialist for additional information and guidance.

Skin Contact: If excessive skin contact with this product occurs, flush immediately with plenty of water, followed by washing with soap and water. Remove clothing and wash before use or discard.
Inhalation: If excessive amounts of vapors or mists from this product are inhaled, remove to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration and other supportive measures as required. Consult a poison center, emergency room or long specialist for additional information and guidance.

Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Consult a poison center, emergency room or long specialist for additional information and guidance.

Note to physician

Treatment: ND

Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure: ND

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: -16° C. Method: Closed cup.
Flammable Limits: Lower limits: 0.9° C. Upper limits: 13.0° C.

Auto-ignition point: NE
Fire Extinguishing Media: Small fire: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO₂), water spray, regular foam. Large fire: Water spray (Do not use straight streams), fog or regular foam. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Large Fires: Wear a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.  

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Highly flammable, will be easily ignited by heat, sparks, or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas. Vapor explosion hazard indoors. Container may explode when heated.

Hazardous combustion products: Hydrogen fluoride, oxides of silver, oxides of carbon.

DOT Class: Flammable.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Eliminate all ignition sources. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, and confined areas. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Large spill: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local Regulations.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Keep container closed. Loosen closure cautiously before opening. Store in a cool and well ventilated place away from incompatible materials. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Protect material from direct sunlight. Ground and bond containers when transferring materials.

Storage temperature: Ambient

Storage Pressure: NA

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Provide sufficient mechanical ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s). Overexposures to vapors and mists may be prevented by ensuring ventilation controls, local exhaust and/or fresh air entry.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: NIOSH/MSHA Schedule TC-23C air purifying or a Schedule TC-19C air supplied respirator may also be used reduce exposures. Read the manufacture’s instructions and literature carefully to determine the type(s) of airborne contaminants(s) against which the respirator is effective and how it is to be properly fitted.

Protective gloves: Solvent resistant gloves
Skin protection: Wear protective clothing, including an impermeable apron or disposable suit and gloves. This protective equipment should be constructed of material(s) which are appropriate to prevent contact with the chemicals listed in the ingredient Section 2.
Eye protection: Vapor tight chemical-type splash goggles should be worn when the possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying of liquid or the generation of airborne particles or vapors.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: Water eye wash station or shower.
