| [Flash Point] 8 | |
| [Fire Fighting] Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Will burn if involved in a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. To extinguish fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. | |
| [Fire Potential] HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. | |
| [Ingestion] Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. | |
| [Inhalation] Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. | |
| [Skin] Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. | |
| [Eyes] Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. | |
| [Storage] Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area. | |
| [Handling] Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Do not breathe dust or fumes. | |
| [Inhalation] Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled. May cause nausea, dizziness, and headache. | |
| [Skin] Causes mild skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. | |
| [Eyes] Causes mild eye irritation. | |
| [Ingestion] May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if swallowed. | |
| [Hazards] Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. | |
