Section 02 Physical Data

Boiling Point............    760 mm Hg : 173°F (78.3°C)

Coeff. of Water/Oil Dist.    NOT DETERMINED

pH (Liquids Only)........    NOT DETERMINED

% Volatile By Volume.....    90%

Vapor Pressure...........    mm Hg: Not known

Vapor Density/Air is 1...    Not known

Solubility In Water......    Slightly

Appearance and Color......   Product exists in form of aerosol and has no
                             color in that form.  As a liquid, which can 
                             not be seen, it is yellow to clear.

Specific Gravity.........    (H2O = 1): 0.83

Evaporation Rate.........    (n-butyl acetate = 1): Not known 

Odor.....................    No odor



Section 03 Fire And Explosion Hazard Data


Flash Point................  54.4°C (130°F) (ASTM D-56-69)

Flammable Limits in Air....  Flammable limit in air, % by vol.
     LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) : Not known
     UEL (Upper Explosive Limit) : Not known

Fire Extinguishing Media:

     Dry Chemical, CO2, foam

Special Firefighting Procedure......Not normally neccessary

Unususal Fire and Explosion Hazards:
     Containers may build pressure at elevated temperature.  If exposed to 
     heat, if possible, containers should be cooled with a water spray.

Firefighting Procedure:
     Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.




Section 04 Reactivity Data


Stable: Yes

Hazardous Polymerization:
     Does not occur.

Hazardous Decomposition Products:
     CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)

Conditions to avoid:
     Heat, Contact with ignition source.

Materials to avoid:
     Oxidizing materials.  Store away from all ignition sources.



Section 05 Spill, Leak and Disposal Procedures


Spill Response:
   A "spill" could only occur if a container was punctured.  While there 
   would be an immediate release of the contents, because of the vapor 
   pressure , the volatiles would evaporate almost immediately, hence 
   there would be nothing left to "clean up".

Disposal considerations:
   Because of the above, there would be nothing left to dispose of except
   for the now completely empty and depressurized aerosol cans which could
   be discarded as any other non-hazardous metal can.  However, in the 
   unlikely event that there is actual liquid concentrate, in any case, do 
   not flush down sewers or drains where danger of vapors becoming ignited 
   is present.



Section 06 Health Hazard Data


Potential health effects (acute and chronic):

Symptoms of exposure:
   Not known.  However, the classic symptoms of exposure to alcohol in
   excess would include irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract;
   headache, dizziness, drowziness, fatigue, nausia, tremor, narcosis

Medical condition aggravated by exposure:
   Not known.

Routes of entry:
   Mainly inhalation, but to a much lesser degree via ingestion or skin
   contact.

Carcinogenicity:
   The material is not listed {IARC- International Agency for Research on
   Cancer; NTP-National Toxicology Program; OSHA- Occupational Safety and
   Health Administration)}as cancer causing agent. Not on "Z" list either.

Toxicity data:
   Not known



Section 07 First Aid Procedures And Physician Notes


Emergency and first aid procedures:
  Get medical assistance for all cases of over-exposure.

  Skin:       Wash thoroughly with flowing water or shower.

  Eyes:       Immediately flush thoroughly with water for at 
              least 15 minutes.

  Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Artificial respiration if 
              breathing has stopped.

  Ingestion:  If conscious, drink water and induce vomiting. 
              Immediately as directed by medical personnel. 
              Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.



Section 08 Special Handling Information


Engineering Controls / Personal Protection:
     None needed



Section 09 Special Precautions and Additional Information


Handling and Storage:
   Do not store neat heat of flame or other source of ignition (e.g. 
   Electrical wiring or motors).  We would also recommend storage 
   away from direct sunlight in order to minimize the chances that 
   radiant heat could cause the container temperature to rise and 
   therefore, also the pressure to rise, shortening the shelf life 
   of the product.

Other:
   Store in cool dry well-ventilated area. Discard when expiration 
   date passes.  At some point after the expiration date, it is 
   possible that the ingredients will cause a slow corrosion of the 
   metal side-walls. We are unaware of any catastrophic failure, but 
   what does seem to happen is that a small pin hole develops at which 
   point there is just a very slow and stead release of the propellant 
   and also the ingredients. The failure phenomenon is virtually 
   identical, and of no more concern, than the failure of an old can 
   of hair spray or shaving cream.



Section 10 Hazardous Ingredients

 

Component                  Appr %
Ethyl Alcohol                  60

Bell Bright is considered a "flammable liquid":

UN #1170
Packing Group II
DOT Class 3 Flammable Liquid                      
Shipping Name:  Ethyl alcohol (DOT) and Ethanol (IATA)



Section 11: Ecological Information

Exotoxicity:  
        Exotoxicity is expected to be low based on the high 
        vapor pressure of the ingredients and very low amount 
        of polymer present in each can.

Environmental Fate:  
        No information found in our selected references.

Bioaccumulation:  
        Not expected to occur.



Section 12: Disposal Considerations

This material is meant to be used until a can is empty. The 
only thing possibly remaining in the can would be a small 
amount of polymer residue, much like would be left over from 
a consumer can of hair spray. Disposal then should be according 
to local, state and federal regulations.

The aerosol can itself should be suitable for recycling.
