Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: INHALATION:
    VAPORS ARE IRRITATING TO EYES, NOSE AND THROAT. HIGH VAPOR
    CONCENTRATIONS MAY RESULT IN HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, AND NAUSEA. SKIN:
    REPEATED CONTACT CAUSES DEFATTING,	 CHAPPING AND DRYING OF SKIN.
    EYES: CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION, REDNESS AND SWELLING. INGESTION:
    SLIGHTLY TOXIC. CAUSES NAUSEA, VOMITING, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, AND
    UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:MAY CONTAIN TRACE AMOUNTS OF BENZENE:
    (CAS NO. 71-43-2) (SUSPECT CARCINOGEN).
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: VAPORS ARE IRRITATING TO EYES, NOSE
    AND THROAT.  HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY RESULT IN HEADACHE,
    DIZZINESS, AND NAUSEA. SKIN: REPEATED CONTACT CAUSES DEFATTING, 
    CHAPPING AND DRYING OF S KIN . EYES: CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION,
    REDNESS AND SWELLING. INGESTION: CAUSES NAUSEA, VOMITING, HEADACHE,
    DIZZINESS, AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED,
    GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GIVE OXYGEN BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL,
    CALL PHYSICIAN. SKIN: WASH CONTACT AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. EYES:
    FLUSH THO ROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER
    AND LOWER LIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
    INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF CONSCIOUS,
    GIVE 1-2 GLAS SES OF WATER TO DRINK. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH
    TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

Lower Limits:2.15
Upper Limits:13
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DOXIDE (CO2), DRY CHEMICAL (ABC); WATER
    SPRAY; ALCOHOL FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WATER SHOULD BE USED TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS COOL. WATER SPRAY MAY BE USED TO FLUSH SPILLS AWAY FROM
    EXPOSURE AND TO DILUTE SPILLS TO NON-FLAMMABLE MIXTURES. IN FIRE
    CONDITIONS, WEAR NIOSH APP ROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
    APPARATUS. (1993 EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, DOT P 5800.6, GUIDE
    PAGE NO. 26).
