=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: CENTRAL NERVOUS
    SYSTEM.EYE: CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. SKIN: EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE
    IRRITATION. INGESTION: ASPIRATION HAZARD. CAUSES GASTROINTESTINAL
    IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTE M DEPRESSION. ADVANCED
    STAGES MAY CAUSE COLLAPSE, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, COMA AND POSSIBLE DEATH
    DUE TO RESPIRATORY FAILURE. INHALATION: INHALATION OF HIGH
    CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EF FECTS
    CHARACTERIZED BY HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND COMA.
    CHRONIC: PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE: CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. SKIN: REDNESS,
    DRYNESS, AND INFLAMMATION. INGESTION: NAUSEA, VOMITING AND
    DIARRHEA, EXCITEMENT, FOLLOWED BY HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS,
    AND NAUSEA. ADVANCED STAGES MAY  CAUSE COLLAPSE, UNCONSCIOUSNESS,
    COMA AND POSSIBLE DEATH DUE TO RESPIRATORY FAILURE. INHALATION: 
    HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, UNCONCIOUSNESS AND COMA.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH  WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE  LIDS. GET MEDICAL AID. SKIN:GET
    MEDICAL AID. IMMEDIATELY FLUSH  WITH PLENTY OF SOAP & WATER FOR AT
    LEAS T 15 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING & SHOES.
    INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS AND
    ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS OF MILK OR WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY
    MOUTH TO AN UN CONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
    INHALATION:REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF NOT
    BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT,
    GIVE OXYGEN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:=-17.6C, 0.F
Autoignition Temp:=288.C, 550.4F
Lower Limits:1.1
Upper Limits:5.9
Extinguishing Media:WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE. DO NOT USE STRAIGHT
    STREAMS OF WATER. FOR SMALL FIRES, USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON
    DIOXIDE, WATER SPRAY OR REGULAR FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:COOL CONTAINERS WITH FLOODING QUANTITIES OF
    WATER UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS OUT. FOR LARGE FIRES, USE WATER
    SPRAY, FOG OR REGULAR FOAM. DO NOT USE STRAIGHT STREAMS OF WATER.
    AS IN ANY FIRE, WEAR A SELF -CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN
    PRESSURE-DEMAND, MSHA/MIOSH (APPROVED OR EQUIVALENT).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THIS MATERIAL IS LIGHTER THAN WATER AND
    INSOLUBLE IN WATER. THE FIRE COULD EASILY BE SPREAD BY THE USE OF
    WATER IN AN AREA WHERE THE WATER CANNOT BE CONTAINED. DO NOT USE
    STRAIGHT STREAMS OF WATER.	U SE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:ABSORB SPILL WITH INERT MATERIAL (DRY SAND OR
    EARTH), THEN PLACE INTO A CHEMICAL WASTE CONTAINER. REMOVE ALL
    SOURCES OF IGNITION. USE A SPARK-PROOF TOOL. A VAPOR SUPPRESSING
    FOAM MAY BE USED TO REDUCE	VAPORS. WATER SPRAY MAY REDUXE VAPOR
    BUT MAY NOT PREVENT IGNITION IN CLOSED SPACES.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP  CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED. AVOID
    CONTACT WITH HEAT/SPARKS/FLAME. PREVENT BUILDUP OF VAPORS TO
    EXPLOSIVE CONCENTRATION. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE,
    SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE CONTAINE RS TO HEAT, SPARKS OR OPEN
    FLAMES. DO NOT OPEN CONTAINERS UNLESS CONTENTS ARE AT ROOM
    TEMPERATURE.
Other Precautions:DANGER! DO NOT OPEN CONTAINERS UNLESS CONTENTS ARE AT
    ROOM TEMPERATURE (72 F OR BELOW). STORAGE-KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT,
    SPARKS, & FLAME. KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION. STORE IN A
    TIGHTLY CLOSED CONT AINER.	STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
    AREA AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE SUBSTANCES.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:FOLLOW THE OSHA RESPIRATOR REGULATIONS FOUND IN
    29CFR1910.134. ALWAYS USE A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN
    NECESSARY.
Ventilation:USE ADEQUATE GENERAL OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP
    AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS BELOW PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN
    EXPOSURE.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO
    PREVENT SKIN EXPOSURE.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. USE WITH A
    DEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN, & CLOTHING.
    EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE, (LIQUID &/OR VAPOR) & CAN
    BE DANGEROUS.
