LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL RAT LD50: 5650 MG/KG
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: VAPORS CAN IRRITATE THE
    RESPIRATORY TRACT. CAUSES DEPRESSION OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
    INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS COULD CAUSE UNCONSCIOUSNESS,
    HEART EFFECTS, LIVER EFFECTS, KIDN EY EFFECTS, AND DEATH. INGESTION
    CAUSES IRRITATION TO GASTRONINTESTINAL TRACT. MAY ALSO CAUSE
    EFFECTS SIMILAR TO INHALATION. KIDNEY FAILURE CAN RESULT IN SEVERE
    CASES. ESTIMATED FATAL DOSE IS 3-5 ML/K G. SKIN CONTACT: CAUSE
    CAUSE IRRITATION, REDNESS AND PAIN.  CAN CAUSE BLISTERING. EYE
    CONTACT: VAPORS CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION WITH REDNESS AND PAIN.
    CHRONIC: MAY CAUSE LIVER, KIDNEY, CNS & PERIPHE RAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
    EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS MATERIAL IS A SUSPECT CARCINOGEN.
    NTP ANTICIPATED CARCINOGEN. IARC 2A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:NHALATION:IRRITATE RESPIRATORY TRACT,
    DEPRESSION OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, VISUAL DISTURBANCES,
    MENTAL CONFUSION, INCOORDINATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA, EUPHORIA &
    DIZZINESS. INHALATION COULD CAUSE UN CONSCIOUSNESS, HEART EFFECTS,
    LIVER EFFECTS, KIDNEY EFFECTS & DEATH. INGESTION: CAUSES IRRITATION
    TO GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. MAY ALSO CAUSE EFFECTS SIMILAR TO
    INHALATION. MAY CAUSE COUGHING, ABDOMINAL  PAIN, DIRRAHEA,
    DIZZINESS, PULMONARY EDEMA, UNCONSCIOUSNESS. KIDNEY FAILURE. SKIN:
    IRRITATION, REDNESS, PAIN, DEFATTING, ROUGH, DRY, RED SKIN. EYES:
    SEVERE IRRITATION, REDNESS, PAIN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS, CARDIVASCULAR DISORDERS, IMPAIRED LIVER OR KIDNEY OR
    RESPIRATORY FUNCTIONS, OR CENTRAL OR PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL A PHYSICAN. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING IMMEDIATELY AS DIRECTED
    BY MEDICAL P ERSONNEL. NOTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
    CALL A PHYSICIAN.  SKIN CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF
    SOAP & WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED
    CLOTHING & SHOES . GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYE CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY
    FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING LOWER
    AND UPPER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Lower Limits:8
Upper Limits:12.5
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS
    COOL. IF SUBSTANCE DOES IGNITE, USE CO2, DRY CHEMICAL OR FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING & NIOSH APPROVED
    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN
    THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE. COMBUSTION
    BY-PRODUCTS INCLUDE PH OSGENE & HYDROGEN CHLORIDE GASES. STRUCTURAL
    FIREFIGHTERS CLOTHING PROVIDES ONLY LIMITED PROTECTION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:A STRONG IGNITION SOURCE E.G. A WELDING
    TORCH, CAN PRODUCE IGNITION. SEALED CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE	WHEN
    HEATED.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. REMOVE ALL
    SOURCES OF IGNITION. WEAR APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
    AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8. ISOLATE HAZARD AREA. KEEP UNNCESSARY AND
    UNPROTECTED PERSONNE L FROM ENTERING. CONTAIN AND RECOVER LIQUID
    WHEN POSSIBLE. USE NON-SPARKING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT. COLLECT LIQUID
    IN AN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER OR ABSORB WITH AN INERT MATERIAL (E.G.,
    VERMICULITE, DRY
Neutralizing Agent:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER,
    STORED IN A COOL DRY, VENTILATED AREA. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL
    DAMAGE. ISOLATE FROM ANY SOURCE OF HEAT OR IGNITION. ISOLATE FROM
    INCOMPIBLE SUBSTANCES. CONTAINERS  OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE
    HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY SINCE THEY RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUES (VAPORS,
    LIQUID).
Other Precautions:OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS LISTED FOR THE
    PRODUCT.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF THE EXPOSURE LIMIT IS EXCEEDED AND
    ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE NOT FEASIBLE, WEAR A SUPPLIED AIR,
    FULL-FACEPIECE RESPIRATOR, AIRLINED HOOD, OR FULL-FACEPIECE
    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. BREATH ING AIR QUALITY MUST
    MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE OSHA RESPIRATORY PROTECTION STANDARD
    (29CFR1910.134). THIS SUBSTANCE HAS POOR WARNING PROPERTIES.
Ventilation:A SYSTEM OF LOCAL AND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED TO
    KEEP EMPLOYEES BELOW THE AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS. LOCAL EXHAUST
    VENTILATION IS GENERALLY PREFERRED
Protective Gloves:WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES AND/OR A FULL FACE SHIELD
    WHERE SPLASHING IS
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING,
    INCLUDING BOOTS, GLOVES, LAB COAT, APRON OR COVERALLS, AS
    APPROPRIATE TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. NEOPRENE IS A RECOMMENDED
    MATERIAL FOR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. THROUGHLY CLEAN
    SHOES BEFORE REUSE.
