Precautionary
Statement

Prevention: Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety
precautions have been read and understood. Keep away from
heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. No smoking. Keep container tightly
closed. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-
proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment. Use only non-sparking tools.

smoke when using this product. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated
area. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face
protection.

Response: In case of fire: Use water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide for
extinction. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. IF
SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER/doctor/ if you feel unwell. Rinse
mouth. IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a
position comfortable for breathing. Call a POISON CENTER or
doctor/physician if you feel unwell. IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap
and water. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Take off

 Version: 1.1
Revision Date: 10-16-2014

General information: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. Show this safety data sheet
to the doctor in attendance.

Ingestion: Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Do NOT induce

vomiting. Never give liquid to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs,
keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops,
provide artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.

Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention
immediately. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse.

Eye contact: Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out immediately with
water. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention
immediately.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Symptoms: Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Gastrointestinal symptoms,

including upset stomach.

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment: Symptoms may be delayed. Treat symptomatically.

5. Fire-fighting measures

General Fire Hazards: Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may cause a flash fire or
ignite explosively.

Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide.

media:

Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
media:

Specific hazards arising from May form explosive peroxides. Can be ignited easily and burns vigorously.
the chemical: Vapor from the solvent may accumulate in container headspace resulting in
flammability hazard. Vapors are flammable and heavier than air. Vapors
may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a
flashback fire danger.

Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

Special fire fighting Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use water
procedures: spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Cool containers exposed to
flames with water until well after the fire is out.

Special protective equipment Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame
for fire-fighters: retardant coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in
enclosed spaces, SCBA.

6. Accidental release measures

SDS_US - SDSMIX000599 3/11

 Version: 1.1
Revision Date: 10-16-2014

Personal precautions, Use personal protective equipment. See Section 8 of the MSDS for
protective equipment and Personal Protective Equipment. Keep unauthorized personnel away.
emergency procedures: Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Do not touch damaged
containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective
clothing. Avoid breathing mists or vapors.

Methods and material for Eliminate sources of ignition. Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert
containment and cleaning material, then place in a container for chemical waste. Clean surface
up: thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Dike far ahead of larger spill
for later recovery and disposal.

Notification Procedures: Dike for later disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or
confined areas. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Inform
authorities if large amounts are involved.

Environmental Precautions: Do not contaminate water sources or sewer. Prevent further leakage or
spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto
the ground.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or
sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Take precautionary
measures against static discharges. Use non-sparking hand tools and
explosion-proof electrical equipment. Ground/bond container and receiving
equipment. Contact with air and light may form explosive peroxides. If
peroxide formation is suspected, do not open or move container. Use
personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with eyes, skin,
and clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid breathing mists or vapors.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Use only with adequate ventilation.
See Section 8 of the MSDS for Personal Protective Equipment.

Conditions for safe storage, Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep out of reach of
including any children. Prolonged contact with air may cause formation of explosive
incompatibilities: peroxides. Nitrogen blanketing of containers is recommended. Keep
container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Ground container
and transfer equipment to eliminate static electric sparks. Comply with all
national, state, and local codes pertaining to the storage, handling,
dispensing, and disposal of flammable liquids.

Appropriate Engineering No data available.

Controls

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

General information: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used.
Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls
to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an
acceptable level. An eye wash and safety shower must be available in the
immediate work area. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

Eye/face protection: Chemical goggles and face shield are recommended.

Skin Protection
Hand Protection: Chemical resistant gloves

Other: Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.

Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below

recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level
(in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an
approved respirator must be worn. Respirator type: Chemical respirator
with organic vapor cartridge and full facepiece.

Hygiene measures: Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Always observe good personal
hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before
eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing to remove
contaminants. Discard contaminated footwear that cannot be cleaned.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
