Emergency overview:
Material is highly volatile and flammable. Vapors are heavier
than air and may travel along low areas to source of ignition.
Physical Health Hazards:
Can cause eye irritation on contact, inhalation can cause
dizziness and ingestion can cause serious gastrointestinal
difficulties including nausea and vomiting. Skin contact can
cause defatting of the skin and solvents can penetrate the
skin in to the body.

Liquid
Color:
Clear
Odor:
Ketone type
Odor threshold:
No data available
Potential Health Effects:
Routes of exposure
Eye contact, ingestion, skin contact, inhalation
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before
attempting to rescue and providing first aid. For specific information
refer to the Emergency Overview in Section of this MSDS.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Never give liquids to an
unconscious person. Call medical assistance at once.
Eye Contact: Wash eyes with clean low-pressure water. Seek
medical advice.
