Section 4 - First-Aid Measures

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Bronchitis, CNS disorders, allergies, nausea.
 

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: CO2, Foam, Dry chemical
 
Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear self contained breathing gear and protective clothing.
 
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Direct water jet will spread burning material. Water should not be used except as a fog to keep nearby containers cool. Combustion products are very toxic & highly irritating. Vapors form an explosive mixture in air.
 

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Permit only properly portected workers with skin and eye protection and breathing gear. Absorb small spills with absorbant material, or let evaporate in well ventilated area. Pump large spills into salvage tanks.
 
Personal Precautions:
 
Environmental Precautions:
 

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

General Handling: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervouse systemdamage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmfull or fatal. Avoid spontaneous combustion of contaminated rags or other ignitable material. Keep out of reach of children.
 
Other Precautions:
 
Storage: Keep containers closed when not in use. Keep away from open flames and excessive heat.
