=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: LIVER, KIDNEYS, CENTRAL
    NERVOUS SYSTEM. INHALATION: CAN PRODUCE HEADACHE, DROWSINESS,
    FATIGUE, NAUSEA, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS, IMPAIRED
    COORDINATION. SKIN: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.  VAPORS MAY CAUSE DRYING
    AND DEFATTING OF SKIN> EYES: LIQUID MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OR CORNEAL
    BURNS. INGESTION: NARCOTIC, MAY CAUSE BURNING SENSATION AND
    ABDOMINAL SPASMS. ASPIRATION OF LIQUID INTO THE  LUNGS MAY CAUSE
    COUGHING, GAGGING, DISTRESS, LUNG DAMAGE.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: HEADACHE, DROWSINESS, FETIGUE,
    NAUSEA, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS, IMPAIRED COORDINATION.
    SKIN: IRRITATION, DRYING AND DEFATTING OF SKIN. EYES: IRRITATION,
    CORNEAL BURNS. INGESTION: NA RCOTIC, BURNING SENSATION AND
    ABDOMINAL SPASMS. ASPIRATION: COUGHING, GAGGING, DISTRESS, LUNG
    DAMAGE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT 15 MINUTES, LIFTING LOWER AND
    UPPER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN:
    FLUSH AREA WITH WATER. THEN WASH WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE
    CONTAMINAT ED CLOTHING PROMPTLY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF
    IRRITATION PERSISTS, OR IF LARGE AREAS OF SKIN WERE EXPOSED.
    INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL
    RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING D IFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GET MEDICAL HELP AS
    SOON AS PODDIBLE. (ASPIRATION IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF VOMITNG
    OCCURS.) NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUT H TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=4.4C, 40.F
Autoignition Temp:=480.C, 896.F
Lower Limits:1.2%
Upper Limits:7.1%
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER SPRAY OR FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE. HOWEVER, WATER CAN
    BE USED WHEN APPLIED IN FORM OF SPRAY TO ABSORB SOME OF HEAT AND TO
    KEEP EXPOSED MATERIAL FROM BEING DAMAGED BY FIRE. IN FIRE
    CONDITIONS, WEAR NIOSH/MSHA A PPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
    APPARATUS. WEAR GOGGLES IF EYE PROTECTION IS NOT PROVIDED AND FULL
    PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL
    CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION AND FLASH BACK. FIRE
    OR EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY PRODUCE HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS, CAN
    REACT VIGOROUSLY WITH OX IDIZING MATERIALS. AT ROOM TEMPERATURE,
    TOLUENE EMITS VAPORS THAT CAN FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH AIR.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE IGNITION SOURCES; PROVIDE
    EXPLOSION-PROOF VENTILATION. THOSE IN CLEAN-UP, USE PROTECTION
    AGAINST LIQUID CONTACT AND VAPOR INHALATION. PICK UP AS LIQUID OR
    ABSORB IN VERMICULITE, SAND, EARTH. SC OOP UP WITH NON-SPARKING
    TOOLS INTO	METAL CONTAINER WITH COVER. LIQUID CAN BE FLUSHED WITH
    WATER SPRAY TO OPEN HOLDING AREA FOR HANDLING. DO NOT FLUSH TO
    SEWER, TO CONFINED SPACE, OR TO WATERCOURSE.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, CLEAN, WELL-VENTILATED
    AREA AWAY FROM HEAT, IGNITION SOURCES AND OXIDIZING AGENTS. AREA
    MUS MEET REQUIREMENTS OF OSHA CLASS 1B LIQUID. NO SMOKING IN AREA
    OF STORAGE OR USE. WASH THOROUG HLY AFTER HANDLING. KEEP CONTAINER
    TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:READ LABEL ON CONTAINER BEFORE USING. DO NOT WEAR
    CONTACT LENSES WHEN WORKING WITH CHEMICALS. USE ADEQUATE
    VENTILATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN, AND CLOTHING. AVOID
    BREATHING VAPOR. REMOVE AND W ASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. FOR
    LABORATORY USE ONLY. NOT FOR DRUG, FOOD, OR HOUSEHOLD USE. KEEP OUT
    O F REACH OF CHILDREN.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:WORK IN VENTILATION HOOD HAVING EXPLOSION PROOF
    MOTOR. A NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OR
    RESPIRATOR FIXED WITH ORGANIC VAPOR CANISTER FOR EMERGENCY USE.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST AND MECHANICAL (GENERAL) VENTILATION
    RECOMMENDED.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE, VITRON GLOVES RECOMMENDED.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GLASSES RECOMMENDED.
Other Protective Equipment:GOGGLES, LAB COAT, APRON, VENTILATION HOOD,
    PROPER GLOVES, FIRE EXTINGUISHER, EYE WASH STATION.
