=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE:INHALATION: HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
    OF VAPOR MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, WITH LOSS OF
    CONSCIOUSNESS. VAPOR CAUSES IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT. EYE
    CONTACT: CAUSES IRRITATION, CO RNEAL INJURY. SKIN CONTACT: MAY
    CAUSE MINOR IRRITATION.  PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE
    DEFATTING AND DRYING OF SKIN. SKIN ABSORPTION: EXPOSURE TO SMALL
    QUANTITIES IS NOT EXPECTED TO CAUSE AD VERSE HEALTH EFFECTS.
    PROLONGED EXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN ABSORPTION OF HARMFUL AMOUNTS,
    PARTICULARLY IN INFANTS. SWALLOWING: SLIGHTLY TOXIC. MAY CAUSE
    DIZZINESS. CHRONIC: PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN EXPO SURE CAN CAUSE
    DEFATTING.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NO EVIDENCE SUGGESTIVE OF CARCINOGENIC
    ACTIVITY WAS NOTED IN CHRONIC VAPOR INHALATION STUDIES WITH
    ISOPROPANOL IN RATS AND MICE.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: CNS DEPRESSION, WEAKNESS,
    DROWSINESS, LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION,
    COUGHING, CHEST DISCOMFORT. EYE CONTACT: IRRITATION, STINGING,
    DISCOMFORT, PAIN, CORNEAL INJURY.  SKIN CONTACT: IRRITATION,
    ITCHING, REDNESS, DEFATTING, DRYING. SKIN ABSORPTION: ADVERSE
    HEALTH EFFECTS, SAME SIGNS AS FOR INGESTION. INGESTION: DIZZINESS,
    FAINTNESS, DROWSINESS, DECREASED AWARENESS AN D RESPONSIVENESS,
    LACK OF COORDINATION, ABDOMINAL DISCOMFORT, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
    DIARRHEA.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SKIN CONTACT MAY AGGRAVATE AN
    EXISTING DERMATITIS.

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

First Aid:INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF
    NOT BREATHING. IF BREATHING DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN BY QUALIFIED
    PERSONNEL. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER, CONTINUE
    WASHING  FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. REMOVE CONTACT LENSES. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH SKIN WITH SOAP
    AND WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS OR IF CONTACT HAS BEEN PROLONGED,
    GET MEDI CAL ATTENTION. SWALLOWING: IF PATIENT IS FULLY CONSCIOUS,
    GIVE TWO GLASSES OF WATER. INDUCE VOMITING. THIS SHOULD BE DONE
    ONLY BY MEDICAL OR EXPERIENCED FIRST-AID PERSONNEL. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:=11.7C, 53.F
Lower Limits:2.0
Upper Limits:12.7
Extinguishing Media:APPLY ALCOHOL-TYPE OR ALL-PURPOSE-TYPE FOAM BY
    MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUES FOR LARGE FIRES. USE CARBON
    DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEMICAL MEDIA FOR SMALL FIRES.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS AND STRUCTURES. USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE VAPORS;
    RE-IGNITION IS POSSIBLE. USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND
    PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:PRODUCT VAPORS MAY TRAVEL OR BE MOVED BY
    AIR CURRENTS AND IGNITED BY PILOT LIGHTS, OTHER IGNITION SOURCES AT
    LOCATIONS DISTANT FROM PRODUCT HANDLING POINT. VAPORS FROM THIS
    MATERIAL MAY SETTLE IN LOW	OR CONFINED AREAS OR TRAVEL A LONG
    DISTANCE TO AN IGNITION SOURCE AND FLASHBACK EXPLOSIVELY.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:EXTINGUISH IGNITION SOURCE UNTIL AREA IS
    DETERMINED TO BE FREE FROM FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD. SMALL SPILLS
    CAN BE FLUSHED WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER, LARGER SPILLS SHOULD BE
    COLLECTED FOR DISPOSAL. P ERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: AVOID CONTACT WITH
    EYES. WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS , FLAMES.
    AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED. USE WITH ADEQUATE
    VENTILATION. VAPORS MAY TRAVEL OR MOVED BY AIR CURRENTS AND IGNITED
    BY PILOT LIGHTS, OTHER IGNIT ION SOURCES DISTANT FROM HANDLING
    POINT AND FLASHBACK EXPLOSIVELY. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
Other Precautions:VAPOR MAY SETTLE IN LOW OR CONFINED AREAS, OR TRAVEL
    A LONG DISTANCE TO AN IGNITION SOURCE AND FLASH BACK EXPLOSIVELY.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN HIGH
    VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS.
Ventilation:GENERAL (MECHANICAL) ROOM VENTILATION IS EXPECTED TO BE
    SATISFACTORY WHERE PRODUCT IS STORED AND HANDLED IN CLOSED
    EQUIPMENT. (CONTD.SEE SUPPLEMENTAL)
Protective Gloves:PLASTIC, RUBBER.
Eye Protection:MONOGOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:EYE BATH, SAFETY SHOWER.
Supplemental Safety and Health
(CONTD FROM VENTILATION) SPECIAL, LOCAL VENTILATION IS NEEDED AT POINTS
    WHERE VAPORS CAN BE EXPECTED TO ESCAPE TO THE WORKPLACE AIR.
