SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES

General : IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
Inhalation : Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for

breathing. If experiencing respiratory symptoms: call a doctor/physician.

Skin contact : Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Flush affected

skin with gently flowing lukewarm water for at least 20 minutes. Seek
immediate medical attention/advice.

Eye contact : Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact

lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical
advice/attention.

Ingestion : Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a POISON CENTER or

doctor/physician if you feel unwell.

Notes for Physician : Treat symptomatically.
Signs and symptoms of short-term (acute) exposure

Inhalation : May cause irritation to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Inhalation of high

concentrations may cause CNS effects such as nausea, headache, dizziness,

fatigue, unconsciousness, and coma. May cause motor incoordination and
speech abnormalities. Breathing high concentrations of this material, for
example in an enclosed space or by intentional abuse, can cause irregular
heartbeats which can cause death.

Skin : May cause moderate skin irritation. Product may be absorbed through the skin,

producing effects similar to inhalation or ingestion. Allergic skin reaction:

Symptoms may include redness, swelling, blistering, and itching.

Eyes : Direct contact will cause moderate to severe irritation to the eyes. Symptoms

may include redness, swelling, pain, tearing, and blurred or hazy vision.

Ingestion : May cause irritation to the mouth, throat, and stomach. Symptoms may

include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. This material can get

into the lungs (aspiration) during swallowing or vomiting. Small amounts in the
lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis, possibly leading to chronic lung

dysfunction or death.
Effects of long-term (chronic) exposure
: Chronic exposure may cause drying, cracking, and defatting of the skin.

Chronic effects of ingestion and subsequent aspiration into the lungs may

cause pneumatocele (lung cavity) formation and chronic lung dysfunction.

Prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents may cause irreversible brain

and nervous system damage (sometimes referred to as “Solvent or Painter’s

Syndrome”). Intentional misuse by intentionally concentrating and inhaling the

vapors from this product may be harmful or fatal. Toluene, a component of this

product, may cause harm to the human fetus, based on tests with laboratory

animals. Long term overexposure to Toluene has been associated with

peripheral neuropathy (damage to the nerves of the hands and feet), liver

effects, kidney effects, impaired color vision and hearing damage.

Indication of need for immediate medical attention or special treatment

: Difficulty breathing persists after removing the person to fresh air.

Any exposure to the eye which causes irritation. Ingestion.

SECTION 5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media : Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, appropriate foam or water fog. Unsuitable
extinguishing media : water jet

Hazardous combustion products : Carbon oxides; Hydrocarbons; Aldehydes; Hydrogen chloride gas; other

unidentified organic compounds.

Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment

: Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing

apparatus with full face piece operated in positive pressure mode. Move containers

from fire area if safe to do so. Water spray may be useful in cooling equipment

exposed to heat and flame. After fires have been extinguished, carefully clean all

equipment and surfaces exposed to fumes.

Environmental precautions : Avoid release to the environment. Collect spillage. Hazardous to the aquatic

environment. Do not allow material to enter drains or contaminate ground water

system.

Fire hazards/conditions of flammability

: Highly flammable liquid. Closed containers may rupture if exposed to excess

heat or flame due to a build-up of internal pressure. Vapors may be heavier

than air and may collect in confined and low-lying areas. Vapor can travel

considerable distance and flashback to a source of ignition. Material will float

on water and can be re-ignited at the water’s surface. Static discharge may

ignite this product’s vapors.

Flammability classification (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200)

: Flammable Liquid, Category 2.

Flammability classification (WHMIS)

: Flammable Liquid Class B2.

Flammability classification (NFPA)
