INGESTION: INGESTION:
INGESTION: INGESTION:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2 to 4 cupfuls of water or milk.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Aspiration hazard: Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth because this material can
enter the lungs and cause severe lung damage. Get immediate medical attention.

Flash Point, °F 52 (Setaflash)
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Alcohol Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Combustible liquid and vapor. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible
autoignition or explosion. Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus should be used. Evacuate area
and fight fire from a safe distance.
6. Accidental Release Measures
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and
unprotected personnel. Remove all sources of ignition, ventilate area and remove with inert absorbent and non-sparking tools.
Dispose of according to local, state (provincial) and federal regulations. Do not incinerate closed containers. Contain spilled liquid
with sand or earth. DO NOT use combustible materials such as sawdust. Eliminate all ignition sources; use explosion-proof
equipment. Place material in a container and dispose of according to local, provincial, state and federal regulations.
7. Handling and Storage
HANDLING: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after
container is emptied because it may retain product residues. Avoid breathing fumes, vapors, or mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated
contact with skin. Wash hands before eating. Use only with adequate ventilation.
STORAGE: Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Do not store above
120 ° F. Store large quantities in buildings designed and protected for storage of NFPA Class II combustible liquids. Keep away
from heat, sparks, flame and sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all doors and windows to achieve cross-
ventilation.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister may
be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits.
Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an
uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or in any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection. A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed
whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
