Extinguishing
Media:
CO2, Dry
chemical, foam. Use water fog to cool containers only.
Special
firefighting procedures:
Wear
self-contained breathing apparatus in positive pressure mode. Cool fire and
exposed containers with water fog.
Unusual Fire
and Explosion Hazards
Combustible
solvent mixture. Exposed containers may swell and burst. Vapors are heavier than
air and will travel and ignite at locations distant from material handling
point.

Section 6
Health Hazard Data
Acute
signs/effects of overexposure.
Principle
reroutes of exposure: Skin contact, inhalation, ingestion, May cause irritation,
nausea, vomiting, and Diarrhea.
Aspiration of
material into lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be
fatal.
Inhalation:
Excessive inhalation of the vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation,
dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, and headaches. Eye contact: May cause
irritation, redness, tearing, and blurred vision. Medial conditions aggravated
by exposure: Pre-existing skin and respiratory disorders. As with any chemical,
this product may aggravate allergic conditions with certain
people.
Chronic
effects of over exposure: Central nervous system depression with high
concentrations. Affected persons usually experience complete recovery when
removed.
Section 7
Emergency and First Aid Procedures
Ingestion:
Seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce Vomiting. Have the physician
determine if the condition of the patient will permit vomiting or evacuation of
the stomach.
Skin: Remove
contaminated clothing and footwear. Lauder before reuse. Wash skin with soap and
water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or
persists.
Inhalation:
If affected, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, seek medical
attention. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and seek medical
attention.
Eyes: In case
of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes:
Lift upper and lower lids occasionally. Seek Medical
attention.
Note to
Physician: Not expected to be acutely toxic by ingestion. Ingestion of this
product or subsequent vomiting can result in aspiration of light hydrocarbon
liquid into lungs, which can cause Pneumonitis.
Section 8
Special Protective Equipment
Respiratory-Ventilation:
Use in a well ventilated area. Mechanical ventilation is recommended in confined
areas. Use approved respiratory for organic vapors.
Gloves: Use
solvent resistant neoprene or Nitril Gloves. Eye and Face Protection: Chemical
splash goggles are recommended whenever the product is handled. Do not wear
contact lenses. Contact lenses will contribute to the severity of the eye
injury. Other protective equipment: Eye wash facility or source of potable
water. Work Practices:
