Ingestion : May cause irritation to the mouth, throat, and stomach. Symptoms may
include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. This material can get
into the lungs (aspiration) during swallowing or vomiting. Small amounts in the
lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis, possibly leading to chronic lung
dysfunction or death.
Effects of long-term (chronic) exposure
: Chronic exposure may cause drying, cracking, and defatting of the skin.
Chronic effects of ingestion and subsequent aspiration into the lungs may
cause pneumatocele (lung cavity) formation and chronic lung dysfunction.
Prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents may cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage (sometimes referred to as “Solvent or Painter’s
Syndrome”). Intentional misuse by intentionally concentrating and inhaling the
vapors from this product may be harmful or fatal.
Indication of need for immediate medical attention or special treatment
: Difficulty breathing persists after removing the person to fresh air.
Any exposure to the eye which causes irritation.
Ingestion.
Suitable extinguishing media : Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, appropriate foam or water fog.
Unsuitable extinguishing media : water jet
Hazardous combustion products : Carbon oxides; Hydrocarbons; Aldehydes; Hydrogen cyanide gas; Nitrogen
oxides; other unidentified organic compounds.
Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment
: Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus with full face piece operated in positive pressure mode. Move containers
from fire area if safe to do so. Water spray may be useful in cooling equipment
exposed to heat and flame. After fires have been extinguished, carefully clean all
equipment and surfaces exposed to fumes.
Environmental precautions : Do not allow material to enter drains or contaminate ground water system.
Fire hazards/conditions of flammability
: Highly flammable liquid. Closed containers may rupture if exposed to excess
heat or flame due to a build-up of internal pressure. Vapors may be heavier
than air and may collect in confined and low-lying areas. Vapor can travel
considerable distance and flashback to a source of ignition. Material will float
on water and can be re-ignited at the water’s surface. Material can be
sensitive to static discharge.
Flammability classification (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200, WHMIS 2015)
: Flammable Liquid, Category 2.
Flammability classification (NFPA)
: Flammable Liquid Class 1B.
Personal precautions : Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. All persons dealing with
clean-up should wear the appropriate chemically protective equipment. Refer
to Section 8 on this Safety Data Sheet, EXPOSURE CONTROLS /
PERSONAL PROTECTION, for additional information on acceptable personal
protective equipment.
Environmental precautions : Do not allow product to enter waterways. Do not allow material to contaminate
ground water system.
Spill response / clean-up : Ventilate area of release. Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop spill or leak at
source if safely possible. Use non-sparking tools to contain and absorb spilled
liquid with non-combustible, inert absorbent material (e.g., sand), then place
absorbent material into a container for later disposal (see Section 13). Do not
