Section 03: Hazards Identification

Clear, colorless liquid.  Warning!  Flammable liquid and vapor.

Potential health effects (acute and chronic):

Symptoms of exposure:

   Effects of eye exposure:  Causes eye irritation.  May result in corneal 
   injury. May cause painful sensitization to light.  Contact produces
   irritation, tearing, and burning pain.

   Effects of skin contact:  May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
   Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or dermatitis.

   Effects of ingestion:  May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea,
   vomiting and diarrhea.  May cause central nervous system depression,
   characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness,  drowsiness,
   and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and
   possible death due to respiratory failure.

   Effects of inhalation:  Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central
   nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, 
   unconsciousness and coma.  Causes respiratory tract irritation.  Irritation 
   may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Exposure produces 
   central nervous system depression. May produce numbness in the extremities. 
   May cause liver abnormalities.  May cause visual abnormalities.

   Target Organs:  Central nervous system, liver, eyes, skin, mucous = membranes.

   Routes of entry:  Inhalation, ingestion or eye or skin contact.



Section 04: First Aid Measures


Emergency and first aid procedures:
 Get medical assistance for all cases of over-exposure.
  
Skin: 
    Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin thoroughly with water
    for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
    Wash clothing before reuse.
 
Eyes: 
    Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush  thoroughly with
    water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and
    lower eyelids.  Do not allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed.

Inhalation: 
    Get medical aid immediately. Remove to fresh air immediately.
    Artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. If breathing
    is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
    If breathing has ceased, apply artificial respiration using oxygen
    and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.

Ingestion: 
    Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of
    milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
    Get medical aid immediately.

Notes to Physician: 
    Treat symptomatically and supportively.



Section 05: Fire Fighting Measures


Flash Point....................64°F

Fire Extinguishing Media:
 For small fires use dry chemical, CO2, or "alcohol" foam, water spray to
 cool fire-exposed containers and disperse vapor; water on fire itself may
 be ineffective. For large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant
 foam.  Do NOT use straight streams of water.  Cool containers with flooding
 quantities of water until well after fire is out.

Firefighting Procedure:
 Wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand full
 protective gear.

Fire and explosion hazards:
 Dangerous fire and explosion hazard. Vapor can travel distance to ignition
 source and flash back. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may
 be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.  Can release vapors that
 form explosive mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint.  Hot organic
 chemical vapors or mists are susceptible to sudden spontaneous combustion when
 mixed with air.  Ignition may occur at temperatures below published autoignition
 or ignition temperatures.  Ignition temperatures decrease with increasing vapor
 volume and vapor/air contact time and are influenced by pressure changes.  Ignition
 may occur at typical elevated temperature process conditions, especially in process
 operating under vacuum if subjected to sudden ingress of air, or outside process
 equipment operating under elevated pressure if sudden escape of vapors or mists
 to the atmosphere occurs.



Section 06: Accidental Release Measures


Spill Response:
   Evacuate the area of all unnecessary personnel.
   Wear suitable protective equipment listed under exposure/personal
   Protection, including self contained breathing apparatus. Eliminate any
   ignition sources until the area is determined to be free from  explosion
   or fire hazards. Contain the release and eliminate its source, if this
   can be done without risk. Absorb spill with an absorbent, non-combustible
   material such as earth, sand or vermiculite. Scoop up with  non-sparking
   tool and containerize for proper disposal. Comply with federal, state,
   and local regulations on reporting release. Refer to regulatory
   information for reportable quantity and other regulatory data.

Disposal considerations:
   EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) waste numbers:

   CAS# 78-93-3 - waste number U159 (Ignitable waste, Toxic waste

   CAS# 108-10-1 - waste number U161 (Ignitable waste)



Section 07: Handling and Storage


Handling: 
Use only in a well-ventilated area.  Wash thoroughly after handling.  Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.  Avoid contact with eyes, skin
and clothing.  Ground and bond containers when transferring material.  Use
spark-proof tools and explosion proof = equipment.  Avoid contact with heat,
sparks and flame.  Empty containers may contain residue - do not pressurize,
or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.  Do not take
internally.  Eye wash and safety equipment should be readily available.

Storage: 
Keep away from sources of ignition.  Store in a flammables area.  Store in
cool, dry well ventilated area.




Section 08: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

An eyewash facility and a safety shower should be available.  Use adequate
general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below
the permissible exposure limits.
