SECTION V-FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point (TCC): 76° F
Flammable Limits(% volume in air): LEL=1.0 UEL=7.0
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Evacuate area and fight fire from a distance. Firefighters wear NIOSH
approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool containers exposed to fire with water. Vapors are heavier than
air and may travel along the ground to distant ignition sources.
SECTION VI-REACTIVITY DATA
Reactivity: Stable
Conditions to avoid: Prevent vapor accumulation. Avoid heat and flames.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Strong oxidizers.
Hazardous Decomposition (Byproducts): Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Should not occur.
SECTION VII-HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, Ingestion, eyes, and Skin.
Health Hazards:
Acute: May cause eye, skin, gastrointestinal, and lung irritation. May cause central nervous system
depression.
Chronic: Prolonged and repeated exposures to high concentrations may cause hearing loss. May cause
anemia, decreased blood cell count, and bone marrow hypoplasia. Liver and kidney damage may occur.
Exposure to toluene may affect the developing fetus.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation and redness. Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause defatting and drying of
the skin, which may result in a burning sensation and a dried, cracked appearance.
Eye Contact: May cause redness, tearing, and irritation of the eyes. Direct contact may cause permanent eye
damage.
Inhalation: May cause headache, nausea, dizziness, and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in
unconsciousness and death.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. Aspiration of the material into the lungs can cause chemical
pneumonitis, which can be fatal.
Carcinogen: Contains trace amounts of Naphthalene (0.018-0.061% by wt.), which has been shown by the NTP to
be carcinogenic.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin, eye, or lung disorders may be more
susceptible to the effects of the substance.
