First Aid: Ingestion

DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Rinse mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to a person who is
unconscious or drowsy. Get immediate medical attention by calling a Poison Control Center, or hospital
emergency room. If medical advice cannot be obtained, then take the person and product to the nearest medical
emergency treatment center or hospital.

First Aid: Inhalation

If symptoms of exposure develop, remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult, administer oxygen.
Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Seek immediate medical attention.

General Fire Hazards

See Section 9 for Flammability Properties.
Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Keep away from heat and all sources of ignition including sparks, flames,
lighted cigarettes and pilot lights. Containers may rupture or explode in the heat of a fire. Vapors are heavier than
air and may travel to a remote ignition source and flash back. This product contains tetrahydrofuran that may form
explosive organic peroxide when exposed to air or light or with age.

Hazardous Combustion Products

Combustion will produce toxic and irritating vapors including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen
chloride.

Extinguishing Media

Use dry chemical, CO2, or foam to extinguish fire. Cool fire exposed container with water. Water may be
ineffective as an extinguishing agent.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media

None.

Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions

Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing for fires
in areas where chemicals are used or stored.

Recovery and Neutralization

Stop leak if it can be done without risk.

Materials and Methods for Clean-Up

Remove all sources of ignition and ventilate area. Soak up spill with an inert absorbent such as sand, earth or
other noncombusting material. Put absorbent material in covered, labeled metal containers.

Emergency Measures

Isolate area. Keep unnecessary personnel away.

Personal Precautions and Protective Equipment

Personnel cleaning up the spill should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including respirators if
vapor concentrations are high.

Environmental Precautions

Prevent liquid from entering watercourses, sewers and natural waterways.

Prevention of Secondary Hazards

None

Engineering Measures

Open doors & windows. Provide ventilation capable of maintaining emissions at the point of use below
recommended exposure limits. If used in enclosed area, use exhaust fans. Exhaust fans should be explosion­proof or set up in a way that flammable concentrations of solvent vapors are not exposed to electrical fixtures or
hot surfaces.

Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory

For operations where the exposure limit may be exceeded, a NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator or
supplied air respirator is recommended. Equipment selection depends on contaminant type and concentration,
select in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 and good industrial hygiene practice. For firefighting, use self­contained breathing apparatus.

Personal Protective Equipment: Hands

Rubber gloves are suitable for normal use of the product. For long exposures chemical resistant gloves may be
required such as 4H(tm) or Silver Shield(tm) to avoid prolonged skin contact.

Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes

Safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles.

Personal Protective Equipment: Skin and Body

No additional protective equipment needed.

Chemical Stability

This is a stable material.

Potential Health Effects: Skin Corrosion Property/Stimulativeness

May cause irritation with redness, itching and pain. Methyl ethyl ketone and cyclohexanone may be absorbed
through the skin causing effects similar to those listed under inhalation.

Potential Health Effects: Eye Critical Damage/ Stimulativeness

Vapors may cause irritation. Direct contact may cause irritation with redness, stinging and tearing of the eyes.
May cause eye damage.

Potential Health Effects: Ingestion

Swallowing may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Aspiration during swallowing or vomiting
can cause chemical pneumonia and lung damage. May cause kidney and liver damage.

Potential Health Effects: Inhalation

Vapors or mists may cause mucous membrane and respiratory irritation, coughing, headache, dizziness,
dullness, nausea, shortness of breath and vomiting. High concentrations may cause central nervous system
depression, narcosis and unconsciousness. May cause kidney, liver and lung damage.

Respiratory Organs Sensitization/Skin Sensitization

This product is not reported to have any skin sensitization effects.

Generative Cell Mutagenicity

Cyclohexanone has been positive in bacterial and mammalian assays. Acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and
tetrahydrofuran are generally thought not to be mutagenic.

Carcinogenicity

A: General Product Information

In 2012 USEPA Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) reviewed a two species inhalation lifetime study on
THF conducted by NTP (1998). Male rats developed renal tumors and female mice developed liver tumors while
neither the female rats nor the male mice showed similar results. Because the carcinogenic mechanisms could
not be identified clearly in either species for either tumor, the EPA determined that the male rat and female mouse
findings are relevant to the assessment of carcinogenic potential in humans. Therefore, the IRIS review
concludes that these data in aggregate indicate that there is "suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential"
following exposure to THF by all routes of exposure.

May cause respiratory irritation. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system depression,
narcosis and unconsciousness. May cause kidney, liver and lung damage.

Specified Target Organ General Toxicity: Repeated Exposure

This product is not reported to have any specific target organ toxicity repeat exposure effects.
