3. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
ENVIRONMENT: This product is not expected to be hazardous to the environment.
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL HAZARDS: This product is flammable, and heating may generate vapors
which may form explosive vapor / air mixtures.
HUMAN HEALTH: In high concentrations, vapors and spray mists are narcotic and may cause headaches,
fatigue, dizziness and nausea. Vapors / aerosol spray may irritate the respiratory system. Risk of
sensitization or allergic reactions among sensitive individuals.
Symptoms of acute overexposure:
Skin:
May cause irritation and sensitization (itching, redness, rashes, hives, burning, swelling.)
May be absorbed through the skin.
Eyes:
Liquid and vapors causes moderate irritation (burning sensation, swelling, redness, tearing).
May cause conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Inhalation:
High concentration is irritating to respiratory tract (sore throat, shortness of breath, coughing)
and may cause dizziness, headaches, anesthetic effects or unconsciousness.
Ingestion:
Causes irritation, a burning sensation of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract and
abdominal pain. May cause nausea and vomiting.
1
Effects of chronic overexposure:
Prolonged exposure may lead to kidney, lung, liver and heart damage; not likely to cause
cancer. Not believed to represent a carcinogenic or mutagenic hazard. May cause
dermatitis and / or skin sensitization (itching, redness, rashes, hives, burning, and swelling)
and / or numbness / prickling of the skin. Repeated or prolonged inhalation exposure may
cause asthma. May affect the central and / or peripheral nervous systems.
Carcinogenicity – OSHA regulated: No
ACGIH: No
International Agency for Research on Cancer: No
National Toxicology Program: No
Medical conditions which may be aggravated by exposure: Eye disease, skin disorders and allergies
(e.g. eczema), asthma and lung disorders
4. First Aid Measures
GENERAL INFORMATION
General first aid, rest, warmth and fresh air. Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Do not give
victim anything to drink if they are unconscious. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. Show this
safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
First aid for eyes: Make sure to remove any contact lenses from the eyes before rinsing. Flush eye with
clean water for at least 15 minutes while gently holding eyelids open. Get immediate medical attention.
First aid for skin: Immediately remove contaminated clothing or excess containment. Flush skin with water.
Wash thoroughly with soap and warm water. Consult a physician if irritation develops.
First aid for inhalation: Please unconscious person on the side in the recovery position and ensure
breathing. Remove individual to fresh air. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get medical attention if
symptoms persist.
First aid for ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth and drink plenty of water or milk. Keep person under
observation. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head low. Transport immediately to hospital
and show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
GENERAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION CHARACTERISTICS: Vapor forms explosive mixture with air. Fine
mists are explosive below the flash point.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water spray, fog or mist. Foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder, dry chemicals,
sand, dolomite, etc.
DO NOT USE WATER JET as extinguisher as this will spread the fire.
Flash Point (°F): 52.7°F (11.5°C)
Method: TCC
Explosive limits in air (percent) – Lower: 1.7 Upper: 12.5
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: If large amounts of material are involved, evacuate the area and
fight fire from safe distance. Do not enter confined space without full bunker gear. Firefighters should wear
self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray.
Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Fire causes formation of toxic gases. Sealed containers at
elevated temperatures may rupture explosively due to polymerization. Vapors are heavier than air and may
2
travel to the source and flash back. Burning liquid may float on water. Personnel in vicinity and downwind
should be evacuated.
HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION: Carbon monoxide and other unknown toxic and corrosive
compounds.
6. Accidental Release Measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Avoid personal contact. Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate area. If contact
cannot be avoided, wear protective clothing as described in Section VIII of this safety data sheet.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Do not let product enter drains. Avoid subsoil penetration. Spillage or
uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be IMMEDIATELY alerted to the Environmental Agency or
other appropriate regulatory body.
CONTAINMENT AND CLEAN UP: Dike, contain and absorb with clay, sand or other suitable material and
then place into containers. Flush area with water to remove trace residue. Wash thoroughly after dealing
with a spillage.
7. Handling and Storage
USAGE PRECAUTIONS: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Avoid spilling, skin and eye
contact. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after using and particularly before eating, drinking, smoking,
applying cosmetics, or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing and protective gear before reuse.
Discard contaminated leather articles. Ventilate well, avoid breathing vapors. Use approved respirator if air
contamination is above accepted level. Vapors are heavier than air and may spread near ground to sources
of ignition.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Keep in a cool ventilated place, without direct exposure to sunlight. Keep
container tightly closed and otherwise in accordance with NFPA regulations. Maintain air space in storage
containers, inhibitor requires oxygen contact to function. Vapors are uninhibited and may form polymers in
vents or flame arrestors, resulting in blockage of vents. Check inhibitor levels after 6 months and return to
original level.
STORAGE CLASS: Flammable liquid storage.
8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYE AND FACE PROTECTION: Safety glasses with side shields. Wear coverall chemical splash goggles
and face shield when eye and face contact is possible.
SKIN PROTECTION: Chemical-resistant gloves and other gear as required to prevent skin contact.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None required at normal handling temperatures and conditions.
OTHER PROTECTION: Chemical resistant apron, protective suit, safety shoes / boots.
PROCESS CONDITIONS: Provide eyewash station.
ENGINEERING MEASURES: Provide adequate ventilation. Observe exposure guidelines and minimize the
risk of inhalation of vapors. At work in confined or poorly ventilated spaces, respiratory protection with air
supply must be used. Use NIOSH / MSHS approved full face respiratory with an organic vapor cartridge if the
recommended exposure limit is exceeded. Use self-contained breathing apparatus for entry into confined
3
space, for poorly ventilated areas and for large spill clean-up sites. Consult with an industrial hygienist to
determine the appropriate respiratory protection for your specific use of this material. Ensure adequate
ventilation, especially in confined areas.
HYGIENE MEASURES: DO NOT SMOKE IN WORK AREA! Wash at the end of each work shift and before
eating, smoking and using the toilet. Promptly remove any clothing that becomes contaminated. Use
appropriate skin cream to prevent drying of skin. When using this material, do not eat, drink or smoke.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.

13. Disposal Considerations
Waste management recommendations: If this product becomes a waste, it should be a hazardous waste by
RCRA criteria (40CFR 261). Dispose of according to applicable federal, state and local regulations. Do not
dispose of in a landfill. Incineration is the preferred method of disposal. Empty containers still contain
hazardous product residue (vapors and / or liquid). Follow all MSDS and label warnings even after container is
emptied. Residual vapors in empty containers may explode on ignition – DO NOT pressurize, or expose to
heat, flame, sparks, static electricity or other sources of ignition (i.e. cutting, drilling, grinding, or welding on or
near container.)
