                            3.  HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

 
Eye Hazards
   Causes eye irritation.
 
Skin Hazards
   May cause skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated skin contact may cause 
an allergic reaction/sensitization. 
 
Ingestion Hazards
   May be harmful if swallowed. 
 
Inhalation Hazards
   May cause nose, throat, and lung irritation. May cause respiratory tract 
irritation. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged exposure to some of 
the chemicals in this product with permanent brain, liver, kidney, and Central 
Nervous System damage.Headaches and dizziness may result. Chronic exposure to 
Xylene may damage a developing fetus and damage bone marrow causing a low blood 
count. 
 

                              4.  FIRST AID MEASURES

personnel. If victim is fully conscious, give one or two cups of water or milk 
to drink. Seek medical attention immediately. 
 
Inhalation
   Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
 

                            5.  FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

 
Flash Point:  143ºF
Flash Point Method:  Solid per ASTM D4359
Autoignition Point: N/AV ºF
Lower Explosive Limit: N/AV
Upper Explosive Limit: N/AV
 
Fire And Explosion Hazards
During a fire, irritating and/or toxic gases and aerosols from the 
decomposition/combustion products may be present.
 
Extinguishing Media
In case of fire, use water spray (fog) foam, dry chemical, or CO2.
 
Fire Fighting Instructions
In the event of a fire, firefighters should wear full protective clothing and 
NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated 
in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. 
 

                         6.  ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

 
Avoid release to the environment. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment 
(PPE). Contain spill and collect with absorbent material and transfer into

Ventilate enclosed area.
 

                             7.  HANDLING AND STORAGE

 
Handling And Storage Precautions
Keep out of reach of children. Not for internal consumption.
 
Handling Precautions
Condition to 65-85F before using. If closed container is exposed to heat, 
pressure can build up. If moisture enters container, pressure may build up due 
to reaction.
 
Storage Precautions
Store at 40 - 95F. Store in cool dry area in tightly closed containers, away 
from sparks and open flames. 
 
Work/Hygienic Practices
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. 
 

                    8.  EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

 
Engineering Controls
Use of a system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee 
below applicable exposure limits. Refer to the current edition of "industrial 
Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice" published by the American 
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist for information on the design, 
installation, use, and maintenance of exhaust systems.
 
Eye/Face Protection
Safety glasses with side shields or goggles. 
 
Skin Protection
Chemical-resistant gloves. Lab coat or other work clothing. Launder before 
reuse. 
 
Respiratory Protection
A respirator protection program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 requirement must be 
followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. In area where 
the Permissible Exposure Limits are exceeded, use a properly fitted 
NIOSH-approved respirator. 
 
Other/General Protection
Wash thoroughly after handling.
