irritating to skin. Prolonged
or repeated liquide contact
can result in defatting and
drying of the skin which may
result in skin irritating and
dermatitis.
·Inhalation
Vapors are moderately TOXIC;
may produce CNS depression.
Vapors May also irritate the
upper respiratory tract.
·Ingestion
Liquide is moderately toxic
and may be harmful if swallowed;
May produce CNS depression.
May also cause irritation to
upperdigestive tract.
·Signs and symptoms
Irritation as noted above. Early
to moderate CNS(Central Nervous
System) depression may be evidence
by giddiness, headache, dizziness
and nausea; In extreme cases,
unconsciousness and death may
occur.
·Aggravated medical conditions
Preexisting eye, skin and respiratory
disoders may be aggravated by
exposure to Methyl Isobutyl
Ketone |

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID
PROCEDURES |
|
|
·Eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes
while holding eyelids open. Get
medical attention.
·Skin contact
Flush skin with water while
removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. If irritation occurs,
get medical attention. Do no
reuse clothing or showes until
cleaned.
·Inhalation
Remove victim to fresh air and
provide oxygen if breathing
is difficult. Get artificial
respiration if not breathing.
Get medical attention.
·Ingestion
do not give liquids if victim
is unconscious or very drowsy.
Otherwise, give no more than
2 glasses of water and induce
vomiting by giving 30cc(2 tablespoons)
syrup of IPECAC.* If IPECAC
is unavailable, give 2 glasses
of water and induce vomiting
by touching finger to back of
victim's throat. Keep victim's
head below hips while vomiting.
Get medical attention.
·Note to physician
*Note to physician: If victim
is a child, give no more than
1 glass of water and 15 cc(1
tablespoon) syrup of IPECAC.
If symptoms such as loss of
gag reflex, convulsions or unconsciousness
occur before emesis. Gastric
lavage should be onsidered following
intubation with a cuffed endotracheal
tube. |

|
Although the significance to
humans is unknow. In male rats
exposed by inhalation to vapors(up
to 100 ppm) for 90 days. Evidence
of slight kidney damage was
observed.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS |
|
|
·Extinguish media
Use water fog, "Alcohol"
foam, dry chemical or CO2
·Special fire fighting procedures
and precautions
Warning, Flammable, Clear fire
area of unportected personnel.
Do no enter confined fire space
without full bunker gear(Helmet
with face shield, bunker coats,
gloves and rubber coats), including
a positive pressure NIOSH approved
self-contained breathing apparatus.
Cool fire exposed containers
with water. |
|

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION |
|
|
·Spill or leak procedures
Warning. Flammable, Eliminate
all ignition sources, Handling
equipment must be grounded to
prevent sparking.
Large spills :
Evacuatethe hazard area of
unprotected personnle. Wear
appropriated respirator and
protective clothing. Shut off
source of leak only if safe
to do so, dike and contain.
If vapor cloud forms, water
fog may be used to suppress;
contain run-off.
Remove the vacuum trucks or
pump to storage/salvage vessels.
Soak up residue with an absorbent
such as clay, sand or other
suitable material; Place in
non-leaking containers for proper
disposal. Flush area with water
to remove trace residue;
Dispose of flush solutions
as above.
Small spills :
Take up with an absorbent material
and place in non-leaking containers;
Seal tightly for proper disposal. |

PERSONNEL PROTECTION |
|
|
·Respiratory protection
Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing
of vapors. If exposure may or
does exceed occupational exposure
limits, use a NIOSH-APPROVED respirator
to prvent overexposure. OSHA has
extablished transitional occupational
limits for this product and/or
components of this product.
·Protective clothing
Avoid contact with eyes, or prolonged/repeated
contact with skin. Wear chemical
gogles if there is likelihood
of contact with eyes. Wer chemical
resistant gloves and other clothing
as required to minimized contact.
Test data indicate the best protection
is provided by polyvinyl alcohol
gloves.
·Additional protective measures
Use explosion-proof ventilation
as required to control vapor concentration.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS |
|
|
Keep liquid and vapour away from
heat, sparks and flame. Surfaces
that are sufficiently hot may
ignite even liquid product in
the absence of sparks or flame.
Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes
and turn off other sources of
ignition prior to use and untial
all vapors are gone. Vapors may
accumulate and travel to ignition
sources distant from the handling
site; flash fire can result. Keep
containers closed when not in
use. Use with adequate ventilation.
Containers, even those that
have, been emptied, can contain
explosive vapors. Do not cut,
drill, grind, weld or perform
similar operations on or near
containers. Static electrical
may accumulated equipment.
Do not pressurize drum containers
to empty them.
Wash with soap and water before
eating, smoking, applying cosmetics,
or using toilet facilities
Launder contaminated clothing
before reuse. |
