 Section IV. Fire and explosion data
 Flash Point (tag Close cup)  12° C
 Flammable limits in air  Lower = 2 : Upper = 13
 Means of extinction  Apply alcohol-type or all-purpose type foams by manufacturer's recommended instructions for large fires. Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical media for small fires. Water is generally unsuitable and may help to spread the fire.
 Special fire fighting procedures  Pressure demand self-contained breathing apparatus should be provided to fire fighters in buildings or confined areas where this material is stored. Structures and storage containers exposed to fire should be kept cool with water spray. Use water spray to disperse vapors.
 Unusual fire and explosion hazards  Vapors form from this product and may travel or be moved by air currents and ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, electrical equipment, static discharges or ignition sources at locations distant from handling point.
 Hazardous products of decomposition  This material may decompose at high temperature to form CO, CO2
 Dangerous Polymerization  No Data
 Section V. Reactivity data
 Stable
 Conditions to avoid  Heat, sparks and open flame
 Incompatibility  Avoid contact with strong oxidizers, aluminum, acetaldehyde, chlorine, ethylene oxide, hydrogen-palladium combination, H2 O2-H2 SO4 combination, hypochlorous acid, isocyanates, nitoform, phosgene, oleum, perchloric acid, potassium t-butoxide, acids, alkalis, amines, halogens, halogen compounds, anhydrides and aldehydes.
 Section VI. Toxicological properties
 Routes of entry
 Eye Contact  Vapor will irritate the eyes. Liquid and mists can severely irritate or damage the eyes and cause corneal burns. 
 Skin Contact  Brief contact may dry the skin, or cause burning or stinging sensation. Prolonged or repeated contact may irritate the skin, causing dermatitis. 
 Inhalation  Vapors and mists irritate the nose and throat. Inhalation of higher concentrations may cause headaches, vomiting and coma. Inhalation of very high concentrations or prolonged exposure may cause unconsciousness or death.
 Ingestion  Swallowing large quantities causes headaches, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea and perhaps unconsciousness or death.
 Exposure limit of material  Oral: DL50 (rat) = 5840 mg/Kg
 Human lethal dose = 250 ml
 Skin: DL50 (rabbit) = 13 g/Kg
 Inhalation: CL50 (rat) = 16000 ppm/8 hours.
 No Data
 Effects of chronic overexposure  Prolonged or repeated exposure to high concentrations produce severe or fatal CNS depression.
 Medical conditions generally aggravated by exposure  Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, eye problems or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.
 Section VII. First aid measures
 Eye contact   Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes holding lids apart to ensure flushing of the entire surface. Washing eyes within 1 minutes is essential to achieve maximum effectiveness. Seek medical atention.
 Skin contact   Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and footwear. Wash clothing before re-use. Seek medical attention if irritation should develop.
 Inhalation   Remove to fresh air. Give artifical respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention.
 Ingestion   If swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting. Small amounts of this liquid drawn into the lungs from swallowing or vomiting may cause severe health effects (e.g. BRONCOPNEUMONIA OR PULMONARY EDEMA). Seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Section VIII. Preventive measures
 Precautionary Measures  Use adequate local exhaust ventilation capable of maintaining emissions at the point of use below the PEL
 Respiratory Protection  If use conditions generate vapors or mists, wear a NIOSH Approved respirator appropriate for those emission levels. Appropriate respirators may include a full facepiece or a half mask air purifying cartridge respirator equipped for organic vapors/mists, a self-contained breathing apparatus in the pressure demand mode, or a supplied air respirator.
 Protective clothing  Long sleeved shirt, trousers, safety shoes, rubber gloves and rubber apron. 
 Eye Protection  Chemical goggles unless a full facepiece respirator is also worn. It is generally recognized that contact lenses should not be worn when working chemicals because contact lenses may contribute to the severity of an eye injury.
 Other Protective Measures  An eyewash and safety shower should be nearby and ready for use.
 Section IX. Spill, Leak and Disposal Procedures
 Action to take for spills or leaks  Wear protective equipment including rubber boots, rubber gloves, rubber apron and a self-contained breathing apparatus in the pressure demand mode or a supplied -air respirator. If the spill or leak is small, a full facepiece air purifying cartridge respirator equipped for organic vapors may be satisfactory. In any event, always wear eye protection. Extinguish all ignition sources and ensure that all handling equipment is electronically grounded. For small spills or drips, mop or wipe up and dispose of in dot-approved waste containers. For large spills, contain by diking with soil or other non-combustible absorbent materials and then put into dot-approved waste containers; or absorb with non-combustible sorbent material, place residue in dot-approved waste containers. Keep out of sewers, storm drains, surface waters and soil. Comply with all applicable governmental regulations on reporting, handling and disposal of waste.
 Waste disposal method  Dispose of contaminated product and materials used in cleaning up spills or leaks in a manner approved for this material. Consult appropriate federal, provincial and local regulatory agencies to ascertain proper disposal procedures.
 NOTE: Empty containers can have residues, gases and mists and are subject to proper waste disposal, as above.
 Storage and handling  Keeping away from heat, sparks, and flames. Store in a cool dry well ventilated place away from incompatible materials. Vent container frequently, and more often in warm weather, to relieve pressure. Electrically ground all equipment when handling this product and use only non-sparking tools. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Do not use pressure to empty container. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid breathing mist or spray.
Wear chemical splash goggles, gloves and protective clothing when handling.
Use with adequate ventilation and employ respiratory protection where spray or mist may be generated.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
 Section IX. Protective measures
 Protective clothing  Not applicable
 Engineering controls  Not applicable
 Section X. Other information
Special precautions or comments

For shipping they are not regulated by TDG 
Maintain good personal hygiene after handling

 Repair and maintenance precautions  Do not cut, grind, weld or drill on or near this ontainer.
