HAZARD
IDENTIFICATION
==============================================================================
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES Skin: YES Ingestion: YES
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO IARC: NO OSHA: NO
Health Hazards Acute And Chronic: ACUTE: HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED, OR
ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. VAPOR OR MIST IS IRRITATING TO THE EYES, MUCOUS
MEMBRANES, AND UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE
NERVOUS SYSTEM DISTURBANCES. EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE COUGHI NG, CHEST PAINS,
DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING. LUNG IRRITATION, (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity: NOT RELEVANT.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: HLTH HAZ: CHEST PAIN AND EDEMA WHICH MAY BE
FATAL. GASTROINTESTINAL DISTURBANCES. NAUSEA, HEADACHE AND VOMITING. TARGET
ORGAN DATA: PERIPHERAL NERVE & SENSATION (STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN
NERVE/SHEATH); BEHAVIORAL (ALTERED SLEEP TIME); EFFECTS O N NEWBORN (GROWTH
STATISTICS).
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
==============================================================================
FIRST AID
==============================================================================
EYES/SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. INHALATION: REMOVE TO
FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, GIV E OXYGEN. INGESTION: WASH OUT MOUTH WITH WATER PROVIDED PERSON
IS CONSCIOUS. CALL MD. WARNING: CONTAINS N-HEXANE, A SUSPECTED NEUROTOXIN.
==============================================================================
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
==============================================================================
Flash Point Text: -10F,-23C
Auto Ignition Temperature Text:
Lower Limits: 1.2% Upper Limits: 7.7%
Extinguishing Media: USE CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL POWDER, ALCOHOL OR
POLYMER FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures: WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (FP N). USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS.
Unusal Fire/Explosion Hazard: VAPOR MAY TRAVEL CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE TO SOURCE
OF IGNITION AND FLASH BACK. CONTAINER EXPLOSION MAY OCCUR UNDER FIRE
CONDITIONS. EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
==============================================================================
RELEASE MEASURES
==============================================================================
Spill Release Procedures: EVACUATE AREA. SHUT OFF ALL SOURCES OF IGNIT. WEAR
NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA, RUB BOOTS & HEAVY RUB GLOVES. COVER W/ACTIVATED
CARBON ABSORB, TAKE UP & PLACE IN CLSD CONTRS. TRANSPORT OUTDOORS. VENT
AREA & WASH SPILL SITE AFTER MATL PICKUP IS C OMPLETE.
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: BURN IN A CHEMICAL INCINERATOR EQUIPPED WITH AN
AFTERBURNER AND SCRUBBER BUT EXERT EXTRA CARE IN IGNITING AS THIS MATERIAL IS
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. OBSERVE ALL FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL
REGULATIONS.
==============================================================================
HANDLING AND STORAGE
==============================================================================
DO NOT BREATHE VAPOR. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING. AVOID
PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE. IRRITANT. NEUROLOGICAL HAZARD.
