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

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALED:HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY
    CAUSE UPPER RESPIRATROYIRRITATION AND NARCOSIS (SLEEPINESS,
    DIZZINESS). EYE:LIQUID & VAPOR CAUSE IRRITATION. SKIN:LOW HAZARD
    FOR USUAL INDUSTRIAL HANDLING.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:HMIS:THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS NO INGREDIENT
    AT 0.1% OR GREATER THAT IS LISTED BY IARC, NTP OR OSHA AS A
    CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALED:HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE
    UPPER RESPIRATROYIRRITATION AND NARCOSIS (SLEEPINESS, DIZZINESS).
    EYE:LIQUID & VAPOR CAUSE IRRITATION. SKIN:LOW HAZARD FOR USUAL
    INDUSTRIAL HANDLING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NO INFORMATION GIVEN ON MSDS BY
    MFR.

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

First Aid:INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY. IF
    BREATHING IS DIFFICULT GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF
    SYMPTOMS PERSIST. EYE:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT
    LEAST 15 MINUTES AN D GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS AREPRESENT
    AFTER WASHING.

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

Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:=13.3C, 56.F
Lower Limits:3.53
Upper Limits:21.2
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY, CARBON DIOXIDE, ALCOHOL FOAM, OR
    DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR SCBA AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO PREVENT
    CONTACT W/SKIN & EYES. WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE. USE WATER SPRAY TO
    COOL FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE LIQUID & VAPOR. VAPORS ARE
    HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL ALONG GROUND OR FLOOR, THEN 'FLASH
    BACK' FROM A DISTANT IGNITION SOURCE.

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

Spill Release Procedures:ELIMINATE IGNITION SOURCES. SMALL SPILLS MAY
    BE COLLECTED USING ABSORBENT MATERIALS. USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE
    VAPORS AND DILUTE TO A NON-FLAMMABLE MIXTURE. PREVENT RUNOFF FROM
    ENTERING DRAINS, SEWE RS, STREAMS.
Neutralizing Agent:NO INFORMATION GIVEN ON MSDS BY MFR.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:FLAMMABLE LIQUID. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT,
    SPARKS & FLAME. KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED. USE W/ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Other Precautions:COMPLY W/ALL FEDERAL, STATE & LOCAL CODES PERTAINING
    TO STORAGE, HANDLING, DISPENSING & DISPOSING OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.
    'EMPTY' CONTAINERS MAY CONTAIN RESIDUE OR VAPORS.  TREAT THEM WITH
    ALL THE PRECA UTIONS DUE FULL ONES.

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

Respiratory Protection:AN APPROPRIATE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOR
    ORGANIC VAPOR MUST BE WORN IF EXPOSURE WILL LIKELY EXCEED
    RECOMMENDED LIMITS. IF RESPIRATORS ARE USED A PROGRAM SHOULD BE
    ESTABLISHED TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE  W/OSHA STANDARD 29CFR1910.134.
Ventilation:GOOD GENERAL VENTILATION (TYPICALLY 10 AIR CHANGES PER
    HOUR) SHOULD BE USED. VENTILATION RATES SHOULD MATCH CONDITIONS.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES W/SIDE SHIELDS OR GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
Work Hygienic Practices:MFR: ?	HMIS:USE GOOD CHEMICAL HYGIENE
    PRACTICE. AVOID UNNECESSARY CONTACT. WASH THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING
    OR DRINKING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION OR AN ENCLOSED HANDLING SYSTEM MAY BE NEEDED
    TO CONTROL AIRBORNE LEVELS BELOW RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS.
