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

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL LD50 (RAT) = 10300 MG/KG
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: MAY CAUSE EYE & SKIN
    IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. CENTRAL NERVOUS
    SYSTEM DEPRESSANT. LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND EVEN DEATH CAN OCCUR
    AT HIGH LEVELS OF EXPOSURE. EXCESS EXP OSURE CAN LEAD TO BLOOD
    PRESSURE DEPRESSION, CARDIAC SENSITIZATION, AND VENTRICULAR
    ARRHYTHMIA. POSSIBLE LIVER EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC
    OR OSHA
Effects of Overexposure:INCOORDINATION AND IMPAIRED JUDGMENT MAY OCCUR
    AT VAPOR EXPOSURES FROM 500-1000 PPM. DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, AND
    GENERAL ANESTETHIC EFFECTS MAY OCCUR IN RANGES OF 1000 PPM AND
    HIGHER. MAY CAUSE EYE CON JUNCTIVITIS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INCREASED SENSITIVITY TO ADRENALINE
    MAY BE CAUSED BY OVER EXPOSURE.

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

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE CPR.
    IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A PHYSICIAN. EYE:
    FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. GET
    MEDICAL AT TENTION. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH WITH
    SOAP AND WATER PROMPTLY. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE
    MILK OR USP MINERAL OIL. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. AVOID
    ASPIRATION.

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

Flash Point:NONE
Lower Limits:7.5
Upper Limits:12.5
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER FOG
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA &
    FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN FIGHTING CHEMICAL FIRE. USE WATER
    SPRAY TO COOL NEARBY CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FIRE OR EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY CAUSE
    PRODUCTION OF HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS. VAPORS MAY PRODUCE
    A FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE IN CONFINED OR POORLY VENTILATED AREA

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

Spill Release Procedures:SMALL SPILL: WIPE UP WITH RAGS OR TOWELS.
    LARGE SPILLS: WEAR NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR. VENTILATE AREA. DIKE
    TO RETAIN FLUID. PUMP UP FREE LIQUID. RESIDUE WILL EVAPORATE
    QUICKLY. DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER  OR WATERWAY.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
    LOCATION, AWAY FROM ANY AREA WHERE THE FIRE HAZARD MAY BE ACUTE.
    KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:DO NOT USE WITH ALUMINUM. BE SURE THAT NO ALUMINUM
    CONTAINERS, AEROSOLS, FITTINGS, ETC. ARE USED WITH THIS MATERIAL.
    AVOID BREATHING VAPOR. PRACTICE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE. READ AND
    FOLLOW DIRECTIONS O N LABEL. DO NOT REUSE CONTAINERS.

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

Respiratory Protection:IN HIGH VAPOR AREA, USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED
    RESPIRATOR WITH ORGANIC VAPOR CARTRIDGE. USE SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS IF VAPOR LEVELS EXCEED 1000 PPM.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST RECOMMENDED TO CONTROL VAPORS BELOW 50% OF
    TLV.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE, PVA GLOVES RECOMMENDED.
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:APRON AND WORK CLOTHING TO MINIMIZE
    EXPOSURE. EYE WASH STATION & SAFETY SHOWER RECOMMENDED. WEAR
