PAGE 1 OF 4
Skin Absorption, Inhalation
Eye contact may cause severe eye irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision. Prolonged or
repeated skin contact may cause irritation, dermatitis and drying of the skin. Absorption through
intact skin may contribute to an individual's overall exposure. Inhalation may cause respiratory
system irritation and central nervous system depression (Narcosis) characterized by headache,
dizziness, muscular weakness and fatigue. Inhalation of Toluene vapors above 200 ppm may
result in impairment of coordination, increased reaction time and a bad taste in the mouth. May
cause unconsciousness if exposure is excessive. LC50: 4,479 ppm, rat; Toluene LD50: >6.8 g/kg,
rat, Benzene, 1 Chloro-4 (Trifluoromethyl) LD50: 5 g/kg, rat, Toluene
Exposure to this product may aggravate pre-existing skin and respiratory diseases.
May cause kidney, liver, spleen and central nervous system damage.

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS OR FIRST AID
PROVIDERS:
If this material contacts the eyes, hold eyelids open and flush immediately with a gentle
stream of water for at least 15 minutes, preferably at an eyewash fountain. Get medical
attention. In case of skin contact, clean with rubbing alcohol first, followed immediately by
washing affected area with soap and water. In case of inhalation, remove to fresh
uncontaminated air. Administer oxygen if breathing is labored. Give artificial respiration if
breathing has stopped. Get medical attention immediately if oxygen or artificial respiration are
administered. In case of accidental ingestion, do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention
and advise the physician of the nature of the material.

SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Foam, water spray, (fog), Carbon Dioxide, dry chemical may all be suitable for
extinguishing fires involving this product. Use water to cool containers but avoid
getting water into containers.
Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Fluorine gas, Chlorine gas, acrid smoke and
irritating fumes.
Wear impermeable protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Toxic fumes or vapors may be produced. Shut down motors and pumps to prevent
spreading of fires
This product is volatile and gives off invisible vapors. Either the liquid or vapor may
settle in low areas or travel some distance along the ground or surface to ignition
sources where they may ignite or explode. Over-heated drums will explode. High
vapor concentrations have an anesthetic effect.

N/a
N/a
Shut off and eliminate all ignition sources. Keep people away. Recover free product. Add
sand, earth or other suitable absorbent to spill area. Minimize breathing vapors. Minimize
skin contact. Ventilate confined spaces. Open all windows and doors. Keep product clear
of sewers, water, or extensive land areas. Assure conformity with applicable government
regulations. Continue to observe precautions for volatile, flammable vapors from absorbed
material.
Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Keep containers closed. Vapors of this
material are heavier than air and will collect in low or confined areas. Containers, even
those that have been emptied, can contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld
or perform similar operations near containers. Static electricity may accumulate and create
a fire hazard. Ground fixed equipment. Bond and ground all transfer containers and
equipment.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
N/a
Use with ventilation sufficient to prevent exceeding recommended exposure limits or
build up of explosive concentrations of vapor in air.
If personal exposure concentrations cannot be maintained below the appropriate
exposure limits using engineering controls, a NIOSH approved organic vapor air
purifying respirator may be appropriate based on employer-determined exposure
levels. Air supplied or SCBA respirators may be required when the measured
chemical concentration exceeds the capacity of the air purifying respirator or when
personal exposure levels are unknown.
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended when pouring or applying this
product.
Wear PVC, nitrile rubber, or vitron gloves when handling this product to avoid
prolonged skin contact.
