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

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL RAT LD50: 3310 MG/KG
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALTION: CONCENTRATED VAPORS MAY
    CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO LINING OF NOSE, THROAT AND LUNGS. BREATHING
    DIFFICULTIES MAY OCCUR. NEITHER ODOR NOR DEGREE OF IRRITATION ARE
    ADEQUATE TO INDICATE VAPOR CONC ENTRATION. INGESTION:CAN CAUSE
    SEVERE INJURY LEADING TO DEATH. SKIN CONTACT: CONCENTRATED SOLUTION
    MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE. HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE SKIN
    SENSITIZATION. EYE CONTACT: CONCEN TRATED SOLUTIONS MAY CAUSE
    SEVERE EYE DAMAGE FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF SIGHT. CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
    REPEATED/PROLONGED EXPOSURES MAY CAUSE DARKENING OF SKIN, EROSION
    OF EXPOSED FRONT TEETH, CHRONIC INFLAMMATION  OF NOSE, THROAT, AND
    BRONCHIAL TUBES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED AS  KNOWN OR ANTICIPATED
    CACINOGEN BY NTP NOR LISTED BY IARC CATEGORY.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALTION: BREATHING DIFFICULTIES, SERIOUS
    DAMAGE TO LINING OF NOSE, THROAT, LUNGS, AND INFLAMMATION OF NOSE,
    THROAT, AND BRONCHIAL TUBES. INGESTION: SORE THROAT, VOMITING,
    DIARRHEA, PERFORATION OF ES OPHAGUS. SKIN CONTACT: EROSION OF SKIN,
    REDNESS, PAIN, SKIN BURNS, SKIN DAMAGE, SKIN SENSITIZATION, SKIN
    DARKENING, EROSION OF EXPOSED FRONT TEETH. EYE CONTACT: SEVERE EYE
    DAMAGE, LOSS OF SIGHT, INTEN SE WATERING AND IRRITATION TO EYES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS OR EYE PROBLEMS, OR IMPAIRED RESPIRATORY FUNCTION MAY BE
    MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.

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

First Aid:INHALTION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! GIVE LARGE
    QUANTITIES OF WAT ER OR MILK IF AVAILABLE. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY
    MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
    SKIN CONTACT: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES,
    WHILE REMOVING CONT AMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. WASH CLOTHING
    BEFORE REUSE. CALL PHYSICIAN. EYE CONTACT: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY
    OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING LOWER AND UPPER EYELIDS
    OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL  ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

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

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=40.C, 104.F
Autoignition Temp:=427.C, 800.6F
Lower Limits:4.0
Upper Limits:16.0
Extinguishing Media:WATER, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE. WATER
    SPRAY MAY BE USED TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
    NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL
    FACEPIECE OPERATED IN PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE
    MODE. WATER MAY BE USED TO FLUSH SPILL AW AY FROM EXPOSURE/TO
    DILUTE SPILL TO NON-FLAMMABLE MIXTURE. WATER DILUTED ACID CAN REACT
    WITH METALS TO FORM HYDROGEN GAS
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ABOVE FLASH POINT, VAPOR-AIR MIXTURES ARE
    EXPLOSIVE WITHIN FLAMMABLE LIMITS. VAPORS CAN FLOW ALONG SURFACES
    TO DISTANT IGNITION SOURCES AND FLASH BACK. CONTACT WITH STRONG
    OXIDIZERS MAY CAUSE FIRE. RE ACTS WITH MOST METALS TO PRODUCE
    HYDROGEN GAS, WHICH CAN FORM AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE WITH AIR.

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

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA. REMOVE IGNITION SOURCES. WEAR
    PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. USE WATER SPRAY TO DILUTE SPILL TO A
    NONFLAMMABLE MIXTURE. CONTAIN LIQUID AND COLLECT IN CONTAINER OR
    ABSORB WITH  INERT MATERIAL. U SE NON-SPARKING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT.
    DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER. REPORT SPILLS AND RELEASES TO SOIL, WATER,
    AND AIR IN EXCESS OF REPORTABLE QUANTITIES. TOLL FREE NUMBER FOR
    RESPONSE CENTER: 800-424-8802.
Neutralizing Agent:J.T. BAKER NEUTRASORB(TM) OR TEAM(TM) 'LOW NA+' ACID
    NEUTRALIZERS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR SPILLS OF THIS PRODUCT.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE
    IN COOL, DRY WELL-VENTILATED LOCATION, AWAY FROM ANY AREA WHERE
    FIRE HAZARD MAY BE ACUTE. OUTSIDE OR DETACHED STORAGE IS PREFERRED.
    SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLES.  CONTAINERS SHOULD BE BONDED AND
    GROUNDED FOR TRANSFERS TO AVOID STATIC SPARKS. (BELOW)
Other Precautions:CONTINUED: STORAGE/USE AREAS SHOULD BE NO SMOKING
    AREAS. USE NON-SPARKING TYPE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING
    EXPLOSION PROOF VENTILATION. PROTECT FROM FREEZING. STORE ABOVE
    17C(63F). CONTAINERS OF TH E MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY;
    THEY RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE; OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS/PRECAUTION S
    LISTED.

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

Respiratory Protection:IF EXPOSURE LIMIT EXCEEDED, WEAR FULL FACEPIECE
    RESPIRATOR WITH ORGANIC VAPOR CARTRIDGE FOR UP TO 50 TIMES EXPOSURE
    LIMIT OR MAXIMUM SPECIFIED BY REGULATORY AGENCY OR SUPPLIER,
    WHICHEVER IS LOWEST. FO R EMERGENCIES OR UNKNOWN  LEVELS, USE
    FULL-FACEPIECE POSITIVE-PRESSURE AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. AIR
    PURIFYING UNITS DO NOT PROTECT IN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOS.
Ventilation:LOCAL AND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED. LOCAL
    GENERALLY PREFERRED BECAUSE IT CAN CONTROL CONTAMINANT EMISSIONS AT
    SOURCE.
Protective Gloves:WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT.
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES AND/OR FULL FACE SHIELD
    WHERE SPLASHING IS POSSIBLE
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING,
    INCLUDING BOOTS, GLOVES, LAB COAT, APRON, OR COVERALLS AS
    APPROPRIATE TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. MAINTAIN EYE WASH FOUNTAIN AND
    QUICK-DRENCH FACILITIES IN WORK AREA.
