Section 3: Hazard Identification
Emergency overview

Appearance: Liquid, colorless

Immediate effects: Flammable liquid. Harmful by inhalation and is irritating to eyes and respiratory system. High concentrations will cause narcotic effects. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. May form explosive peroxides.

Target Organs: Nerves.

Potential health effects

Primary Routes of entry: May be absorbed into the body by inhalation, ingestion and through the skin. Formation of product mist when applied by spray, which could be inhaled.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: Contact with eyes can cause redness, tearing, and blurred vision. Prolonged or repeated contact with skin can cause defatting and dermatitis. To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have no been thoroughly investigated.
Eyes: Irritating to eyes.

Skin: Slight irritation systems. Degreasing effect on the skin, possible followed by secondary inflammation. Danger of skin absorption.

Ingestion: Gastrointestinal complaints. Systemic effect: headache, inebriation, nausea, narcosis.

Inhalation: Irritation of the mucous membranes, upper respiratory tracts, coughing, and dyspnea. Harmful if inhaled.

Chronic Exposure: CNS disorders.

Chemical Listed As Carcinogen Or Potential Carcinogen: None

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: Immediately flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. If discomfort persists obtain medical attention.

Skin Contact: Immediately wash off skin thoroughly with water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. In severe cases obtain medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.

Ingestion: Wash out mouth thoroughly with water and give plenty of water to drink. Obtain medical attention.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Evacuate area. Shut off all sources of ignition. Wear respirator, chemical safety goggles, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves. Cover with dry-lime, sand, or soda ash. Place in covered containers using non-sparking tools and transport outdoors. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
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: Avoid breathing vapors, contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposures. Take precautions against static discharge. All electrical equipment must be flame proofed. Work under fume extractor. Do not empty into drains. Storage: Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Unsuitable: May form peroxides on contact with air.

Storage temperature: 15-20° C

Storage Pressure: ND

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Mechanical exhaust required. Fume cupboard, flameproof.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: Self-contained breathing apparatus tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Protective gloves: Butyl rubber (change gloves regularly)
Skin protection: Wear suitable protective clothing.
Eye protection: Goggles or face-shield
Additional clothing and/or equipment: Plastic apron, sleeves, boots – if handling large quantities. Safety shower and eye bath are required. Use non-sparking tools.
