Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE-INHALED:IRRITATES RESPIRATORY
    TRACT, HEADACHE,NAUSEA,DIZZINESS,LOSS OF APPETITE,WEAKNESS,LOSS OF
    COORDINATION. EYES:IRRITATION.SKIN:PROLONGED/REPEATED CONTACT CAN
    CAUSE PAIN,SWELLING, BLISTERING .INGESTION:MAY IRRITATE DIGESTIVE
    TRACT.ASPIRATION INTO THE LUNG MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE.CHRONIC-SKIN
    DISCOLORATION,BLISTE
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THE NIOSH HAS RECOMMENDED THAT WHOLE
    DIESEL EXHAUST BE REGARDED AS POTENTIALLY CAUSING CANCER.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION CAUSES IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY
    TRACT, HEADACHE, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, LOSS OF APPETITE, WEAKNESS, AND
    LOSS OF COORDINATION. IRRITATES EYE. PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN
    CONTACT CAN CAUSE PAIN,  SWELLING, BLISTERING. INGESTION MAY
    IRRITATE DIGESTIVE TRACT. ASPIRATION INTO THE LUNG MAY CAUSE LUNG
    DAMAGE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING SKIN DISORDERS MAY BE
    MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS MATERIAL.

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

First Aid:GET MEDICAL CARE IN ALL CASES.INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH
    AIR.PROVIDE CPR/OXYGEN IF NEEDED.EYE:FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15
    MINUTES KEEPING EYELID OPEN.SKIN:WASH WITH SOAP &
    WATER.INGESTION:DO NOT INDUCE V OMITING.ASPIRATION HAZARD.IF
    CONSCIOUS,DRINK MILK/WATER.CALL PHYSICIAN.IF SPONTANEOUS VOMITING
    OCCURS,KEEP HEAD LOWER THAN HIPS TO PREVENT PULMONARY ASPIRATION.

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

Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:100F,38C  MIN
Lower Limits:0.6

Extinguishing Media:USE WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY
    CHEMICAL. A FORCED STREAM OF WATER COULD SCATTER FLAMES OF FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
    FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MAY FORM WATER VAPOR, CARBON MONOXIDE AND
    CARBON DIOXIDE. WATER RUNOFF TO SEWER MAY CARRY COMBUSTIBLE FUELS &
    CREATE A FIRE/EXPLOSION. MORE FIRE HAZARD IF >85F.

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

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE SOURCE OF HEAT,SPARKS,FLAME,FRICTION &
    ELECTRICITY,INCLUDING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE.USE
    EXPLOSION-PROOF EQUIPMENT TO CLEAN UP.DIKE SPILL.PREVENT LIQUID
    FROM ENTERING SEWERS, WATERWAYS/LOW A REAS.SOAK UP WITH
    SAWDUST,SAND,OIL DRY.SHOVEL/SWEE

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORAGE-STORE IN COOL,DRY
    WELL-VENTILATED AREA IN CLOSED CONTAINER AWAY FROM HEAT,IGNITION
    SOURCES & OXIDIZERS.
Other Precautions:COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
    AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED
    CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. GROUND AND BOUND CONTAINERS TO PREVENT
    STATIC SPARKS. USE EXP LOSION-PROOF ELECTRICAL SERVICES.

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

Respiratory Protection:IN SITUATION WHERE VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY
    EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS, A NIOSH-APPROVED ORGANIC
    VAPOR CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE WORN. USE SELF-CONTAINED
    SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATOR FOR E MERGENCIES.
Ventilation:GENERAL DILUTION OR MECHANICAL VENTILATION/EXPLOSION-PROOF
    LOCAL EXHAUST TO KEEP VAPOR BELOW RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE, NITRILE, OR POLYVINYL ALCOHOL
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES & FACESHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION.BARRIER CREAMS SPECIFIC FOR
    PETROLEUM-BASED MATERIALS MAY BE USED WHEN GLOVES ARE IMPRACTICAL.
Work Hygienic Practices:DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. AVOID SKIN CONTACT.
    WASH SKIN AFTER USING PRODUCT. DO NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE IN WORK
    AREA.
Supplemental Safety and Health
