SECTION 2: Hazards identification

*Flammable Liquid -— CORROSIVE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or Carbon Dioxide. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: May generate toxic or irritating combustion products. Sudden reaction and fire may result if product is mixed with an oxidizing agent. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Burning will produce toxic fumes. Wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus with independent air supply and full turn-out gear to fight fires. Use water spray to reduce vapors. If water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities. Keep containers cool with water spray. Avoid skin contact. V. HEALTH HAZARD DATA THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: See Section II. BFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: CORROSIVE ACUTE- Eye Contact: Severe irritant, chemical burn possible, possible skin damage. Vapors may cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects, including death. Skin Contact: Severe irritant, corrosion to tissue, possible skin burns. Inhalation: Moderate to severe irritant. Minute amounts aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and possible death. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract, and may cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects, including death. Ingestion: Severe irritation, possible gastrointestinal tract. May cause nausea unless treated promptly. CHRONIC- Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to low concentrations of vapor may cause: sore throat, eye irritation, nausea, headache, adverse skin effects (such as defatting, rash, irritation or corrosion), adverse eye effects (such as conjunctivitis or corneal damage). Repeated and/or prolonged contact with the skin may cause allergic reaction/sensitization or burns. Xylene contains ethylbenzene which has been classified as a possible carcinogen to humans, Group 2B, by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), based on sufficient evidence in laboratory animals but inadequate evidence for cancer in humans. Prolonged or repeated overexposure to ethylbenzene may cause the following: kidney effects, liver effects, lung effects, thyroid effects, testicular effects, pituitary effects. This product contains crystalline silica which may cause delayed respiratory disease (silicosis) if inhaled over a prolonged period of time. Avoid breathing dust. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator where TLV for crystalline Silica may be exceeded. MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Asthma, Chronic respiratory disease (e.g. Bronchitis, Emphysema) Eye disease, Skin disorders and Allergies. PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Ingestion, Skin Absorption, Inhalation BMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: EYE CONTACT- Hold eyelids apart and immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Calla Physician. SKIN CONTACT- Remove product and immediately flush affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician. Except in the most minor, superficial and localized burns, cover the affected area with a sterile dressing or clean sheeting and transport for medical care. DO NOT APPLY GREASES OR OINTMENTS. Control shock if present. INHALATION-— Move patient to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is labored give mouth-to-mouth respiration. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. Prevent aspiration of vomit. Turn victim's head to the side. Assure mucus does not obstruct airway. Call a physician. INGESTION- In the event of ingestion, administer 3-4 glasses of milk or water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Obtain medical care and hospital treatment immediately. Note to physician: This product is highly injurious to all tissues, similar to that of ammonia or ammonia gas. Chemical pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, laryngeal edema and delayed scarring of the airway or other affected tissues may occur following exposure. There is no specific treatment. Clinical management is based on Supportive treatment, which is similar to that for thermal burns. VI. REACTIVITY DATA STABILITY: *stable* HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: *will not occur* INCOMPATIBILITY: Oxidizing agents, cleaning solutions, such as chromerge (sulfonic acid/dichromate) and aqua regia. A reaction accompanied by large heat release occurs when the product is mixed with acids. Heat generated may be sufficient to cause vigorous boiling creating a hazard due to splashing or splattering of hot material. CAUTION! N-Nitrosamines, many of which are known to be potent carcinogens, may be formed when the product comes in contact with nitrous acid, nitrites or atmospheres with high nitrous oxide concentrations. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides in a fire. Nitrogen Oxide can react with water vapors to form corrosive nitric acid (TLV= 2 ppm). Combustion of product under oxygen-starved conditions can be expected to produce numerous toxic products including: nitiles, amides. Irritating and toxic fumes at elevated temperatures. CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid acid contamination and skin contact. Keep containers tightly closed. No smoking or eating in handling area. VII. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Remove all sources of ignition (flames, hot surfaces and electrical, static or frictional sparks). Avoid breathing vapors. Ventilate area. Use non-sparking tools. Remove with inert absorbant. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If air concentrations above the TLV are possible, wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator. VENTILATION: Provide general dilution or local exhaust ventilation in volume and pattern to keep TLV and LEL of most hazardous ingredient in Section II, below acceptable limit. PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Wear suitable gloves (S37). Nitrile rubber gloves. [In emergency situations, wear impermeable gloves with cuffs to prevent spread of material to area above the wrists. BYE PROTECTION: Splash proof eye goggles. In emergency situations, use eye goggles with a full face shield. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Protective clothing such as coveralls or lab coats must be worn. HYGIENIC PRACTICES: See Section V IX. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING
