Section 4 - First-Aid Measures

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

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Foam, alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical
Fire Fighting Procedures: Water spray may be ineffective. But may be used to cool containers exposed to heat. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors may ignite explosively. Exposure to heat or prolonged exposure to sun may cause bursting. Do not expose to heat or store at temperatures above 120 F. Do no puncture or incinerate container.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Remove all sources of ignition. Allow volitile portion to evaporate completely. Avoid breathing vapors and remove with inert absorbent.
Personal Precautions:
Environmental Precautions:

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

General Handling: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational over-exposure to solvents with permanents brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhalin the contents may be harmful or fatal. Avoid spontaneous combusiton of contaminated rags or other ignitable material. Keepo out of reach of children.
Other Precautions:
Storage: Do not store or use near heat, sparks or flame. Store in well ventilated area. Keep closure tight and container upright to prevent leakage. Do not puncture or incinerate. Do not spray near fire or open flames.

Personal Protection
Eye/Face Protection: Goggles or side-whielded safety glasses.
Skin Protection: Neoprene or butyl rubber gloves.
Respiratory Protection: Use of a NIOSH approved chemical/machanical filter, designed to remove a combination of particles and vapors.
Hygenic Measures: Wash hands before eating, smoking or using the washroom.
Other Protection Measures: To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots. Wash contaiminated clothing before reuse.
Engineering Controls: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s).
