Section 4 - First-Aid Measures

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

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Fight source of fire. Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, chemical foam.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Water spray to cool containers. If this material is involved in a fire, a NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus should be worn.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors are heavy, may concentrate at lower levels creating hazard. At high temperatures, containers may burst.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Confine as much as possible. Dike and absorb with inert material such as vermiculite. Remove from ignition sources, ventilate and vacate area. Allow solvents to evaporate.
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. Keep out of reach of children.
Other Precautions:
Storage: Do not store or use near heat, sparks, or flame. Sotre 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.
