SUMMARY OF ACUTE HAZARDS
Overexposure may cause coughing, shortness of breath, dizziness, central
nervous system depression, intoxication and collapse. It may cause
irritation to the respiratory tract and to other mucous membranes.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
INHALATION
Overexposure may cause coughing, shortness of breath, dizziness, central
nervous system depression, intoxication and collapse. It may cause
irritation to the respiratorytract and to other mucous membranes.
EYE CONTACT
Severely irritating. If not removed promptly, will injure eye tissue,
which can result in permanent damage.
SKIN CONTACT
Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate and cause dermatitis. Low
order of toxicity.
INGESTION
Low order of toxicity. Small amounts of the liquid aspirated into the
respiratory system during ingestion, or from vomiting, may cause
bronchiopneumonia or pulmonary edema.
SUMMARY OF CHRONIC HAZARDS
Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause signs of central nervous system
depression and respiratory irritation. This material has been shown to
induce tumors in laboratory animals.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Individuals with pre-existing or chronic diseases of the eyes, skin,
respiratory system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, liver,
or kidneys may have increased susceptibility to excessive exposure.

=============================================================================
Section 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If INHALED: If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air
immediately. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as
needed. Obtain emergency medical attention. Prompt
action is essential.
If on SKIN: Immediately flush with large amounts of water; use soap
if available. Remove contaminated clothing.
If in EYES: Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least
15 minutes. Get prompt medical attention.
If SWALLOWED: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get
prompt medical attention.
=============================================================================
Section 5 -- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONDITIONS OF FLAMMABILITY
Flammable in the presence of a source of ignition when the temperature is above
the flash point. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame/hot surface. No smoking.
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions. - Carbon oxides
FURTHER INFORMATION
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Extremely flammable - very low flash
point. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along ground or to low
spots at considerable distance to a source of ignition resulting in
potential flashback. Burning liquid may float on water. Heat may build
up pressure and rupture closed containers.
=============================================================================
Section 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Ventilate area with natural or explosion-proof,
forced air ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel
to safe areas. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations.
Vapors can accumulate in low areas.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid flushing into
sewers, drains, waterways, and soil.
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP
Use absorbent materials to prevent footing hazard and to contain, then collect
and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).
============================================================================
Section 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin or clothing. If transferring
this material to other containers, ground all containers to avoid static
electricity buildup and discharge which may ignite flammable vapors.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE
Do not store near heat, sparks, or open flames.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers
which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Empty containers may contain residues and vapors; treat as if full and observe
all products precautions. Do not reuse empty containers.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Section 11 -- TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS
No ingredient in this product is an IARC, NTP or OSHA listed carcinogen.
Tetrahydrofuran - The National Toxicology Program has reported that
exposures of mice and rats to THF vapor levels up to 1800 ppm 6hr/day, 5
days/week for their lifetime caused an incidence of kidney tumors in male
rats and liver tumors in female mice. The significance of these findings
for human health are unclear at this time, and may be related to "species
specific" effects. Elevated incidences of tumors in humans have not been
reported for THF.
