Emergency overview:
	Harmful
	Irritating to the eyes
	Irritating to the respiratory system
	Irritating to the skin
	Harmful if swallowed
	May cause sensitization by inhalation

Appearance: Pale yellow liquid

Flash Point: 135°C (open cup); 110°C (closed cup)

Target Organs: Eyes, Respiratory System, Skin

Potential Health Effects

Eye: Irritating to the eyes. Risk of serious damage to eyes.

Skin: Irritating to the skin.

Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed.

Inhalation: Irritating to the respiratory system. May cause
sensitization by inhalation or skin contact.

Eyes: In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with
copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open.
Seek immediate medical attention.

Skin: In case of skin contact, immediately wash skin with soap
and copious amounts of water. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion: If swallowed, wash mouth out with water provided
person is conscious.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Seek immediate medical attention.

Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air.  If breathing
irregular or not breathing, give artificial respiration.  If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
