Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION-INHALATION MAY CAUSE
    SYMPTOMS OF INTOXICATION AND PERIFPHERAL NERVE DISORDERS & CENTRAL
    NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. INGESTION-LOCAL IRRITATION. CASES OF
    CHEMICAL PNEUMONIA HAVE BEEN REPORTED  FORM INGESTION OF THIS
    SUBSTANCE. NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS PARALLELING THOSE FROM
    INHALATION. SKIN-VAPORS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. THE LIQUID ACTS AS A
    DEFATTING AGENT ON THE SKIN. EYE-VAPORS MAY CAUSE  IRRITATION. 
    CHRONIC: PROLONGED OVEREXPOSURE MAY CAUSE DRYING   & CRACKING OF
    THE SKIN & ASSOCIATED DERMATITIS. NO CHRONIC SYSTEMIC EFFECTS HAVE
    BEEN REPORTED FROM WIDESPREAD INDUSTRIAL USE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:A3-ANIMAL CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION-SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE INCLUDE
    LOSS OF APPETITE, MUSCLE WEAKNESS, IMPAIRMENT OF MOTOR ACTION,
    DIZZINESS & DROWSINESS. MAY ALSO CAUSE THROAT IRRITATION.
    INGESTION-BURNING SENSATION IN MOUT H, ESOPHAGUS, & STOMACH.
    VOMITING, BLURRED VISION, & DIARRHEA MAY ALSO OCCUR. EYE-SPLASHES
    MAY CAUSE REDNESS AND PAIN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS OR EYE PROBLEMS OR IMPAIRED LIVER, KIDNEY OR RESPIRATORY
    FUNCTION MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.

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

First Aid:INHALATION-REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. OF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGESTION-IF SWALLOWED, VOMITING MAY OCCUR
    SPONTANEOUSLY, BUT D O NOT INDUCE. IF VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP HEAD
    BELOW HIPS. NEVER	GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS
    PERSON. CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. SKIN-IMMEDIATELY FLUSH SKIN
    WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR  15  MINS WHILE REMOVING SOILED
    CLOTHES/SHOES. CALL PHYSICIAN. EYE-IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR
    15 MINS, LIFTING EYELIDS. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

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

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=-18.C, -.4F
Autoignition Temp:=288.C, 550.4F
Lower Limits:1.1
Upper Limits:5.9
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM OR CARBON DIOXIDE. WATER MAY BE
    INEFFECTIVE. DO NOT ALLOW  WATER RUNOFF TO ENTER SEWERS OR
    WATERWAYS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
    FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE
    PRESSURE MODE. WATER S PRAY MAY BE USED TO KEEP THE FIRE EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS COOL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ABOVE FLASH POINT, VAPOR-AIR MIXTURES ARE
    EXPLOSIVE WITHIN FLAMMABLE LIMITS NOTED ABOVE. SEALED CONTAINERS
    MAY RUPTURE WHEN HEATED. SENSITIVE TO STATIC DISCHARGE. VAPORS CAN
    FLOW ALONG SUSFACES TO DIS TANT IGNITION SOURCES AND FLASH BACK.

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

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK/SPILL. REMOVE ALL
    SOURCES OF IGNITION. WEAR APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT. ISOLATE HAZARD AREA. KEEP UNNECESSARY/UNPROTECTED
    PERSONNEL FROM ENTERING. CONTAIN & RECOV ER LIQUID WHEN POSSIBLE.
    USE NON-SPARKING TOOLS & EQUIPMENT.   COLLECT LIQUID IN AN
    APPROPRIATE CONTAINER OR ABSORB WITH INERT MATERIAL & PLAE IN A
    CHEMICAL WASTE CONTAINER. "SEE OTHER INFORMATION"

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE	IN A COOL, DRY WELL
    VENTILLATED, AWAY FROM FIRE HAZARD AREA. SEPARATE  FROM
    INCOMPATIBLES. USE NON SPARKING TOOLS  INCLUDING EXPLOSION PROOF
    VENTILLATION. EMPTY CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS SINC E THEY RETAIN
    RESIDUE. DANGER !  DO NOT OPEN CONTAINERS UNLESS CONTENTS ARE AT
    ROOM TEMPERATURE.
Other Precautions:PREFERABLY  STORE OUTSIDE OR DETACHED AREA. THERE
    SHOULD BE NO SMOKING IN STORAGE AREA. PROTECT FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE.

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

Respiratory Protection:IF THE EXPOSURE LIMIT IS EXCEEDED, A HALF-FACE

    APPROPRIATE REGULATORY AGEN CY OR RESPIRATOR SUPPLIER, WHICHEVER IS
    LOWEST. IF LEVELS UNKNOWN, USE A FULL-FACE PIECE POSITIVE PRESSURE,
    AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:A SYSTEM OF LOCAL AND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED TO
    KEEP EMPLOYEE EXPOSURES BELOW THE AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS
