Use water spray to disperse vapors: re-ignition is possible. Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors form from this product and may travel or be moved by air currents and ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, electrical equipment, static discharges or other ignition or other ignition sources at locations distant from product handling point. Vapors may settle in low or confined areas, or travel a long distance to an ignition source and flash back explosively. This material may produce a floating fire hazard. ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── V.

High concentrations of vapor may cause headache and drowsiness. Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause defatting and drying of the skin. Eye Contact: Corneal injury may occur. Effects of Repeated Over Exposure: No adverse effects anticipated from available information. Other Health Hazards: None currently known. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis. Additional Toxicity Information: None currently known. Emergency and First Aid Procedures Swallowing: If patient is conscious and has a gag reflex, give two glasses of water. Induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention without delay.

Health Hazard Data (Continued) ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Emergency and First Aid Procedures Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists. Wash clothing before reuse. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if no breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be given by qualified personnel. Obtain medical attention. Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with water and continue washing for several minutes. Obtain medical attention. Notes to Physician: There is no specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── VI.

Spill or Leak Procedures ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Steps to Be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Extinguish and do not turn on any ignition source until the area is determined to be free from fire or explosion hazard. Wear suitable protective equipment. Avoid contact with eyes. Small spills can be flushed with large amounts of water, larger spills should be collected for disposal. Waste Disposal Method: Incinerate in a furnace where permitted under Federal, State, and local regulations. At very low concentrations in water, this product is biodegradable in a biological wastewater treatment plant. ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── VII. Special Protection Information ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Respertory Protection: Use self-contained breathing apparatus in high vapor concentrations. Ventilation: General (mechanical) room ventilation is expected to be satisfactory where this product is stored and handled in closed equipment. Special local ventilation is needed at points where vapors can be expected to escape to the workplace air.

Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly. FOR INDUSTRY USE ONLY. Other Precautions: PROCESS HAZARD: Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment may result in ignitions without the presence of obvious ignition sources. Published "autoignition" or "ignition" temperature values cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical process without analysis of the actual process conditions. Any use of this product in elevated-temperature processes should be thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions. Further "Ignition Hazards of Organic Chemical Vapors". TRANSFER HAZARD: Vapors of this product may be ignited by static sparks. Use proper bonding and grounding during liquid transfer as described in National Fire Protection Association document NFPA 77. ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── X.
