DANGER: CONTAINS HEXANE (110-54-3), ACETONE (67-64-1), XYLENE
(1330-20-7), METHYL ETHYL KETONE (78-93-3), PROPANE (74-98-6) AND
ISOBUTANE (75-28-5). Causes eye, skin, nose, throat and respiratory tract
irritation. Vapor harmful. May affect the brain or nervous system causing
dizziness, headache, nausea or unconsciousness. Prolonged exposure to
skin may cause dermatitis. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Prolonged vapor inhalation may result in severe physical injuries. Hexane
exposure can cause peripheral nerve damage to arms and legs, which may
be permanent. May be toxic to blood, liver, kidneys and reproductive system.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR USE, HANDLING, STORAGE AND
DISPOSAL: Vapors may ignite explosively. Vapors may cause a flash fire.
Prevent buildup of vapors by providing fresh air such that chemical odors can
not be detected during use and while drying. Open all windows and doors.
Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames. DO NOT smoke. Vapors may
travel long distances to a source of ignition and flash back. Extinguish all
flames and pilot lights, and turn off stoves, heaters, electric motors, burners
and other sources of ignition and static electricity. Disconnect all appliances
during use and until all vapors are gone. Vapors are heavier than air and will
collect in low areas. Check all low areas (basements, sumps etc.) for vapor
before entering. DO NOT breathe vapors. Odor is not an adequate warning for
hazardous conditions. If you experience eye watering, headache or dizziness
or if air monitoring demonstrates vapor levels that are above applicable
