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
excitation followed by depression.
Chronic: Prolonged and repeated exposures to high concentrations may cause hearing loss. May cause
liver and kidney damage.
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, blurred vision, and irritation of the eyes.
Inhalation: Overexposure may cause headache, nausea, dizziness, and loss of coordination.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. Aspiration of the material into the lungs can cause chemical
pneumonitis, which can be fatal.
Carcinogen: No.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin, eye, or lung disorders may be more
susceptible to the effects of the substance.

SECTION IX-EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Skin: Clean material from skin with acetone, then wash with soap and water followed by moisturizer.
Eyes: Flush with a gentle but large stream of clean water for 15 minutes, lifting the lower and upper eyelids
occasionally. Call a physician if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. If vomiting occurs spontaneously,
keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs. Get medical attention immediately.
SECTION X-PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Normal Handling: Always use good industrial hygiene practices and safety guidelines.
Storage: Store material in its original container. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Keep material
away from open flame, sparks, or other sources of heat and ignition.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of material in accordance with federal, state, and local guidelines.
Special Precautions: Use proper bonding/grounding techniques to avoid static buildup/discharge, which can ignite
vapors. Empty containers may contain explosive levels of vapor. Do not cut, drill, or weld near the containers.
SECTION XI-EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: Use a NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator when exposure level cannot be
maintained below limits.
Ventilation: Provide adequate mechanical ventilation to keep exposure levels below TLV’s.
Protective Gloves: Wear impervious chemical gloves.
Eye Protection: Wear chemical safety glasses.
