Section 4 — Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point: 21°F TCC
Flammable Limits: L.E.L.: 1.40 · U.E.L.: 19.0
Extinguishing Media: Extinguish fires with carbon dioxide, water fog, steam, or dry chemical. Cool fire-exposed metal containers with water spray.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Cool down material after blaze is struck.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: When exposed to heat and flame, the material is a fire and explosion hazard. When this material is involved in a fire, toxic degradation products can include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen. Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus. Dense toxic smoke can be produced when this material burns.
Flammability Class: N/A
Section 5 — Health Hazard Data
Effects of Overexposure: Prolonged or repeated exposure by inhalation of vapor concentrations or by skin contact with the liquid may cause damage to the nervous system, blood, and kidneys. Symptoms include headache, lethargy, drowsiness, weakness, difficulty walking, personality change, poor appetite, nausea, and weight loss. Vapor irritating to the eyes, nose and throat. Liquid irritating to the eyes.
Emergency First Aid Procedures:
- Inhalation — Move to fresh air; if not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
- Ingestion — DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Material contains hydrocarbon-based solvents.
- Eye or Skin Contact — Immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention.
Section 6 — Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable
Hazardous Polymerization: Will Not Occur
Incompatibility: Avoid contamination with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases, certain amines. Do not allow film to come in contact with driers unless under agitation.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, sparks, sources of ignition, and open flames.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Combustion can produce carbon dioxide and/or carbon monoxide. Dense toxic smoke can be produced when this material burns.
Section 7 — Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps To Be Taken in Case Material Is Released or Spilled: Eliminate all sources of ignition and keep hot metal surfaces isolated from spill. Flush spilled material into suitable retaining areas or containers with large quantities of water. Small amounts of spilled material may be absorbed into appropriate absorbent.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of used product and absorbent in compliance with applicable Federal, State and local regulations regarding health and environment. Hazardous liquids may not be disposed of in landfills and will require incineration.
Section 8 — Special Protection Information
Respiratory Protection: The use of respiratory protection depends on vapor concentration above the time-weighed TLV; use of a NIOSH approved cartridge respirator or gas mask. General mechanical ventilation may be sufficient to keep product vapor concentrations within specified time-weighted ranges. Other special precautions such as respiratory masks and supplemental local exhaust may be required.
Other Protective Equipment: Chemically inert gloves, aprons, and safety goggles or face shields should be worn at all times. Eye washes and safety showers are recommended in the work area.
Section 9 — Special Precautions
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storage: Keep product and containers cool, dry and away from any sources of ignition. Use and store this product with adequate ventilation. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Other Precautions: Avoid inhalation of vapors and personal contact with product. Should contact be made, remove saturated clothing and flush affected areas with water. Clean up material that has dried by using non-sparking tools or washing with solvent.
Section 10 — Supplemental Information
SARA STATUS: The products, Toluol and Methyl Ethyl Ketone listed in Section 2 of this MSDS are toxic chemicals according to Section 313 of SARA and are subject to the reporting requirements of 40 CFR Part 372.45.
