Health Hazard Information

Health Effects

Moderate eye and skin irritation, Prolonged, repeated skin contact with low viscosity materials may defat the skin resulting in possible irritation and dermatitis. Respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, loss of consciousness

Acute – Indigestion: Slightly Toxic.

Acute – Eye: Moderate Irritant

Acute – Skin: Slightly Toxic and moderate irritant.

Acute – Inhalation: Practically non-toxic

Chronic: (refer to health effect above)

First Aid

Inhalation
Using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affected person from exposure. Administer EAR if breathing is stopped. Keep at rest Call for prompt medical attention.

Skin Contact
Flush with copious amounts of water; use soap if available.
Remove grossly contaminated clothing, including shoes and launder before reuse

Eye Contact
Flush eyes with copious amounts of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists seek medical attention.

Ingestion
If swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest seel medical attention (Advise to Doctor Treat according to symptoms.)

Precautions for use

Eye protection: Chemical goggles should be worn.

Skin Protection: Impervious gloves MUST be worn.

Inhalation: Approved respiratory protection MUST be used when vapour or mist concentrations are unknown or exceed the Worksafe exposure Standards.

Flammability

Fire hazards: Highly Flammable. Lower explosive limit: 1.2% Upper explosive Limit: 1.7%
Extinguishing Media: Foam, Dry Powder, CO2 and Water Fog.

Safe Handling Information

Spills and Disposal: Contain and absorb on fire retardant treated sawdust< diatomaceous earth, etc. Scrape up and remove. Dispose of at an appropriately licensed waste disposal site in accordance with local, State and federal regulations.
For large spills: Contain material and pump back to holding tank for later disposal. Mix a compatible chemical which is less combustible and incinerate in accordance with current Local, State and Federal Regulations

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting Procedures: Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces to protect personnel. Shut off “fuel” to fire. If a leak or spill has ignited, use water sprays to disperse the vapours to protect men attempting to stop leak.
Either allow fire to burn under controlled conditions or extinguish with foam or dry chemical. Try to cover liquid spills with foam.

Special Fire precautions: Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers due to danger of boil over See also
“First Aid” as well as “OTHER INFORMATION”

Physical and Chemical Hazards / Fire and Explosion hazards

Extreme hazard: Leaks of gas or spills or spills of liquid can readily form flammable mixtures at temperatures at or above the flash point.
Static Discharge: Product can accumulate static charges which can cause an incendiary electrical discharge.

Reactivity Data: Stability (Thermal, Light, etc.)

Stable Conditions to avoid: Heat, Sparks, Flame, and build up of static electricity. Incompatibility
(Materials to Avoid): Strong oxidisers, Hazardous Decomposition Products:

Carbon Monoxide: Hazardous

Polymerization: Will not occur

Toxicology

Acute

Inhalation: Vapour concentrations above recommended exposure levels may be irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract, may cause head aches and dizziness, could be anaesthetic and may have other central nervous system affects. Negligible hazards at ambient temperature (-18-38 Deg C)
Skin Contact: Frequent or prolonged contact may defat and dry the skin, leading to discomfort and dermatitis.
Occasional brief contact with the liquid will not result in significant skin discomfort unless evaporation is impeded.

Toluene has been shown to be slightly irritating but not sufficiently to trigger an EU Classification.
Eye Contact: Will cause eye discomfort, but will not injure eye tissue

Ingestion: Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the respiratory system during ingestion or from vomiting may cause bronchopneumonia or pulmonary edema. Low order of toxicity
