Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Irritating to skin. Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. Possible risk of impaired fertility. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes mild eye irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. May cause dermatitis.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. May cause lung damage.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Exposure produces central nervous system depression.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause adverse reproductive effects.

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn if involved in a fire. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
