SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA 3.1 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Immediate health, physical, and environmental hazards: Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Contact with aluminum or zinc in a pressurized system may generate hydrogen gas which could create an explosion hazard. Contains a chemical or chemicals which can cause cancer. May cause target organ effects.

Potential health effects

Eye Contact: Moderate Eye Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include redness, swelling, pain, tearing, and blurred or hazy vision. Skin Contact: Moderate Skin Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include localized redness, swelling, itching, and dryness. Inhalation: Respiratory Tract Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include cough, sneezing, nasal discharge, headache, hoarseness, and nose and throat pain. Intentional concentration and inhalation may be harmful or fatal. May be absorbed following inhalation and cause target organ effects. Ingestion: Gastrointestinal Irritation: Signs/symptoms may include abdominal pain, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May be absorbed following ingestion and cause target organ effects. Target Organ Effects: Central Nervous System (CNS) Depression: Sings/Symptoms may include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, incoordination, nausea, slowed reaction time, slurred speech, giddiness and unconsciousness. SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES 4.1 FIRST AID PROCEDURES The following first aid recommendations are based on an assumption that appropriate personal and industrial hygiene practices are followed: Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water. If signs/symptoms persist, get medical attention. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Immediately flush skin with large amounts of water. Get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing and clean shoes before reuse. Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms develop, get medical attention. If Swallowed: Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by medical personnel. Give victim two glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention. SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURE 5.1 FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES Flammability: Flammable Liquid Auto ignition temp Not Established Flash Point <20 degrees F Flammable Limits-LEL 1.1 Flammable Limits-UEL 7.0 5.2 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Use fire extinguishers with class B extinguishing agents (e.g., dry chemical, carbon dioxide) 5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Flammable liquid and vapor. Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode. Vapors may travel long distances along the ground or floor to an ignition source and flash back. Note: See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (SECTION 10) for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Accidental Release Measures: Evacuate unprotected and untrained personnel from hazard area. The spill should be cleaned up by qualified personnel. Remove all ignition sources such as flames, smoking materials, and electrical spark sources. Use only non- sparking tools. Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning! A motor could be an ignition source and could cause flammable gases or vapors in the spill area to burn or explode. Contain spill. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of water. Cover spill area with a fire-extinguishing foam. An aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) is recommended. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Remember, adding an absorbent material does not remove a toxic, corrosivity or flammability hazard. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible using non-sparking tools. Clean up residue with an appropriate solvent selected by a qualified and authorized person. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Read and follow safety precautions on the solvent label and MSDS. Collect the resulting residue containing solution. Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Seal the container. Dispose of collected mater as soon as possible. In the event of a release of this material, the user should determine if the release qualifies as reportable according to local, state, and federal regulations. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE 7.1 HANDLING Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. keep away from heat, sparks, open flame, pilot lights and other sources of ignition. No smoking while handling this material. Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. Avoid eye contact with vapors, mists, or spray. Keep out of reach of children. Vapors mayignite explosively. May cause flash fire. Prevent build-up of vapors - open all windows and doors. Maintain vapor concentrations below recommended ex- posure limits. Use only with cross-ventilation. Without adequate ventilation, vapors may settle in low-lying areas. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Do not smoke or ignite matches, lighters, etc. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhause ventilation to control airborne exposures to below Occupational Exposure limits. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protec- tion equipment.

Storage

Store away from acids. Store away from heat. Store out of direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from oxidizing agents. SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION 8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation. Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation on open containers. Use in an enclosed process area is recommended. Do not use in a confined area or areas with little or no air movement. use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below Occupational Exposure Limits and/or control mist, vapor, or spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use protection equipment. 8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) 8.2.1 Eye/Face protection Avoid eye contact with vapors, mists, or spray. The following eye protection(s) are recommended: Safety Glasses with side shields. Indirect Vented Goggles. 8.2.2 Skin Protection Avoid skin contact. Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing to prevent skin contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. Consult with your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible materials. Goves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), Polyethylene/Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol. 8.2.3 Respiratory Protection Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. Conduct air monitoring to determine adequacy of ventilation and the need for respiratory protective equipment. If ventilation is inadequate select one of the following NIOSH approved respirators based on airborne concentration of contaminants and in accordance with OSHA regulations: Half facepiece or fullface pressure demand self-contained breathing apparatus. Consult your personal protection supplier for further information. 8.2.4 Prevention of Swallowing Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. 8.3 EXPOSURE GUIDELINES Ingredient Authority Type Limit Additional Information Heptane ACGIH TWA 400 ppm Heptane ACGIH STEL 500 ppm Heptane OSHA TWA, Vacated 400 ppm Heptane OSHA TWA 500 ppm Table Z-1 Heptane OSHA STEL, Vacated 500 ppm Toluene CMRG STEL 75 ppm Skin Notation* Toluene OSHA TWA, Vacated 100 ppm Toluene OSHA STEL, Vacated 150 ppm Toluene OSHA TWA 200 ppm Table Z-2 Toluene OSHA CEIL 300 ppm Table Z-2 SOURCES OF EXPOSURE LIMIT DATA: ACGIH: American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists AIHA: American Industrial Hygience Association Workplace Environmental Exposure Level (WEEL) CMRG: Chemical Manufacturer Recommended Guideline EPA:
