3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
 
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Note: All components are in full compliance with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory Regulations. All SARA Title III requirements have been complied with.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Inhalation:
Respiratory irritation and discomfort may be experienced if mists of materials resembling mineral oils are breathed at air concentrations exceeding recommended exposure levels. Excessive inhalation can cause respiratory irritation, central nervous system effects including dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headaches and possible unconsciousness.
Skin Contact:
Possible slight to moderate redness may occur with extended daily exposure. Not classified as a primary skin irritant or corrosive.
Eye:
Possible transient irritation. Not classified as a primary irritant.
Ingestion:
Single dose oral toxicity is considered very low. Small amounts swallowed incidental to handling operations are not likely to cause injury. Swallowing large amount may cause injury and if aspirated (liquid enters the lung) may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other body systems.
Carcinogenicity:
NTP? No.  IARC Monographs? No.  OSHA Regulated? No.  California, Prop 65? No.
   

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
 
Inhalation:
If inhaled, move to fresh air. Anesthetic or narcotic effects could occur from overexposure to vapours, so call a physician; if available, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Follow good industrial hygiene practices.
Skin:
Wash with plenty of soap and water.
Eye:
Flush for at least 15 minutes with potable water, contact a physician if irritation persists.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If conscious, drink large quantities of water and seek immediate medical attention.
   

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
 
General Hazards: Flash Point: 94°C (201°F) PMCC
Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear NIOSH approved, positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid exposure from decomposition products. Proper eye and skin production should be used. If a spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse vapours and keep container cool.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: After ignition, the use of water can scatter the liquid therby possible spreading the fire. Ignition may also produce dense black smoke.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
   

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
For small spills, vacuum into waste containers or absorb with dry sand or absorbent cloth. For large spills immediately evacuate the area and shut off potential ignition sources. Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory and skin/eye protection should be permitted in the area. Dike the area to contain the spill. Take precautions as necessary to prevent contamination of ground or surface waters. Recover with a wet vacuum or absorb spilled material in sawdust or vermiculite and sweep into closed containers for disposal. After all visible traces have been removed. thoroughly wet vacuum area again. DON NOT FLUSH INTO SEWER.
 

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING & STORAGE:
Do not store above 120°F. Do not use around opened flames. Maintain adequate ventilation and keep from children. Note that some vapours are heavier than air and can displace air in low areas or confined spaces such as pits or tanks. Do not enter those areas where large quantities of vapours are suspected or collecting until exchanging the air or using special breathing apparatus with an observer present for possible assistance.

PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection: Not required for normal work situations where adequate ventilation is provided. Use NIOSH European EN-149 approved self-contained positive pressure respirators for emergencies and in situations where air may be displaced by vapours. Follow OSHA Std. 29CFR 1910.134.
Protective Gloves: Use gloves and full protective clothing if there is prolonged or repeated contact of liquid with skin. Solvex gloves  recommended.
Eye Protection: For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear splash-proof goggles. Contact lenses should not be worn under such conditions. If vapour exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator.
Other Protection Clothing: Safety shower and eye-wash fountain in manufacturing areas. Personal protective clothing and use of equipment must be in accordance with 29CFR 1910.132 and 29CFR 1910.133.
Work & Hygienic Practices: Do not smoke, eat or drink while using this product. Wash hands with soap and water before smoking, eating, drinking or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
