SECTION 4 - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

FLASH POINT - - LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT - - TRANSPORT CLASSIFICATION - See section 2, Hazardous Ingredients

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA - Foam, CO2, Dry Chemical, Class B fire Extinguisher

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:  Vapors may cause flash fire.  Vapor may ignite explosively.  Vapors may spread long distances.  Prevent buildup of vapors.  Extinguish all pilot lights and turn off heaters.  Non-explosion proof electrical equipment and other sources of ignition during use and until vapors are all gone.  Do not weld or cut drums in which paint or thinner has been stored.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES

Water spray may be ineffective to extinguish fire.  Water should be used to cool containers exposed to fire.  Use a self contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operated in pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

CARCINOGENICITY:     NTP, NO,     IARC, NO,     OSHA, NO

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE   see section 2, PEL, TLV

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:

Acute: inhalation - - headache, nausea, impairment of reaction time and coordination.
Skin Contact - - prolonged and repeated may cause irritation.
Ingestion - - upset stomach, irritated mouth and throat. 
Eye Contact - - may cause severe irritation.
Chronic:  reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.  Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY EXPOSURE:
Persons with known allergies, known impaired health, and pregnant women should consult with their physician before using this product.  See msds (s) on the individual listed components in section 2 for further information.

PRIMARY ROUTE (S) OF ENTRY: dermal, inhalation and ingestion.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

SKIN:            Thoroughly wash exposed area with soap and water.  Remove contaminated clothing.  Launder contaminated clothing before re-use.

EYES;            Flush with large amounts of water, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally, and get medical attention.

SWALLOWED:    Immediately drink two glasses of water to dilute.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  Get medical attention immediately.

INHALATION:      If affected, remove individual to fresh air.  If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.  If breathing has stopped give artificial respiration.  Keep person warm, quiet and get medical attention.

SECTION  6 - REACTIVITY DATA

STABILITY:    Material is stable

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:    will not occur

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:    includes carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, halogens

CONDITIONS TO AVOID:    To prevent mishaps, keep closures tight and upright to prevent leakage.  Keep container closed when not in use.  In case of spillage, absorb with inert material and dispose of in accordance with applicable regulations.

INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):    Avoid strong mineral acids or alkalies.  Keep out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.

SECTION 7 - SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES

STEPS TO BE TAKE IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Remove all sources of ignition, ventilate, and remove with inert absorbent.  People not directly involved in the cleanup effort should be excluded from the area.  Do not undertake a cleanup effort alone.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: 
Mix with an inert material and incinerate in an EPA approved incinerator.  Do not incinerate closed containers.  Observe all Federal, state and local laws concerning health and pollution.

SECTION 8 - SAFE HANDLING AND USE INFORMATION

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:    Adequate ventilation is required.  Read, understand, and follow product label instructions.

VENTILATION: Provide sufficient ventilation in volume and pattern to keep vapor concentration below the given TLV AND LEL.

PROTECTIVE GLOVES:   Required for prolonged or repeated contact.  Wear resistant gloves such as natural rubber, neoprene, buna N., or nitrile.

EYE PROTECTION:     use safety eyewear with perforated side shields.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT - see next paragraph

HYGIENIC PRACTICES:    Do not breath vapors or spray mist.  Do not get in eyes on skin or on clothing.  Wear appropriate, properly fitted respirator (NIOSH/MSHA approved) during and after application unless air monitoring demonstrates vapor or mist levels are below applicable limits.  Follow respirator manufacturer's direction for respirator use.

SECTION 9 - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING

Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.  Close container after each use.  Consult NFPA and OSHA for additional storage requirements.  Use approved bonding and grounding procedures.  Read, understand, and follow the product label.
