Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Air-supplied mask;
rubber or plastic gloves; vapor-proof goggles; Symptoms Following Exposure: Inhalation may introduce
headache, nausea, vomiting, and unconsciousness; mild depression of central nervous system; lung
irritation. Slightly irritating to skin, but covered contact may cause burn. Very irritating to eyes;
General TreamM for Exposure: INHALATION remove person to fresh air immediately, keep quit
and warm; call a physician; if breathing stop, start artificial respiration. SKIN OR EYE CONTACT:
immediately flush with plenty of water for at 15 min.; immediately remove contaminated clothing,
watch bands, rings, etc. to prevent confiding product to skin; for eyes get medical attention; Tonicity

may cause secondary bum on long exposure; Liquid or Solid Irritant characteristics: Causes smarting
on the skin and first-degree burns on short exposure; may causes secondary burns on long exposure;
Odor Threshold: 200 ppm.
Fire Hazards - Flarh Point (deg. F): -35 CC, -20 OC; Flammable Limits in Air (%): 2.1 - 38.5; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Carbon dioxide or dry chemical for small fires. Alcohol or polymer foam for
large fires. ; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not To Be Used: Water may be ineffective; Special Hazarh of
