3. hazards identification
emergency overview
clear, light yellow liquid. banana odor. combustible. may cause eye and
skin irritation. may be harmful if swallowed.
potential health effects (see section 11 for toxicological information)
primary route(s) of exposure: _x__eye _x__skin contact ____skin absorption
_x__inhalation _x__ingestion
signs and symptoms of overexposure

3. hazards identification (continued)
ingestion:
may be harmful is swallowed. may cause mouth, throat and stomach
irritation. symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. may
also cause central nervous system effects including headache, dizziness
and weakness.
inhalation:
high concentrations of vapor or mist may cause nose, throat and
respiratory tract irritation. symptoms may include coughing and a
burning sensation in the nose and throat. high concentrations of vapor
or mist may also cause central nervous system effects including headache,
dizziness and nausea.
effects of chronic exposure:
prolonged or repeated contact can cause defatting and drying of the skin
which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash).
medical conditions aggravated:
may aggravate pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory conditions.
_____________________________________________________________________________
4. first aid measures
eyes:
flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids apart. after
initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at
least 15 minutes. do not put any medication in the victim's eyes unless
instructed by a physician. get medical attention.
skin:
flush thoroughly with plenty of water, then wash with soap and water.
remove saturated clothing. get medical attention if irritation develops
or persists. thoroughly wash (or discard) clothing and shoes before
reuse.
ingestion:
do not induce vomiting. drink large quantities of water. get immediate
medical attention. never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
inhalation:
remove to fresh air. if not breathing, give respiration; if breathing is
difficult, give oxygen (by trained personnel only). get medical attention
if symptoms persist.

5. fire fighting measures
flash point and method: 119 degrees f 48 degrees c tcc
flammable limits
upper explosive limit: 11.2% (n-butyl alcohol)
lower explosive limit: 1.4% (n-butyl alcohol)
autoignition temperature: not applicable
extinguishing media:

_____________________________________________________________________________
5. fire fighting measures (continued)
hazardous combustion products:
normal products of combustion (carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) and
nitrogen oxides.
fire and explosion hazards:
class ii combustible liquid. this product is combustible and may be
ignited by heat, sparks, flame, and other ignition sources. vapors can
travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
fire fighting instructions:
evacuate area. cool containers exposed to fire with water. msha/niosh
approved self-contained breathing apparatus (scba) and full protective
gear should be worn.
_____________________________________________________________________________
6. accidental release measures
see section 8, exposure controls/personal protection and section 3,
hazard identification. floors may be slippery. use care to avoid falling.
remove ignition sources and ventilate spill area. contain and isolate
spill. keep non-essential personnel from entering spill area. use mop,
absorbent and non-sparking tools to collect material for proper disposal.
rinse area with water.
_____________________________________________________________________________
7. handling and storage
handling:
follow label use directions. do not mix with other chemicals unless
instructed by label directions. avoid contact with eyes, skin and
clothing. use with adequate ventilation. avoid breathing vapor or mist.
use spark-proof tools. wash thoroughly after handling. remove
contaminated clothing. wash clothing and equipment before reuse.
storage:
keep container closed when not in use. store away from incompatible
materials (see section 10, stability and reactivity). store away from
direct sunlight. keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
_____________________________________________________________________________
8. exposure controls/personal protection
engineering controls:
good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate. if user
operations generate vapor or mist, ventilation should be used to keep
airborne concentrations below exposure limits (see section 2, composition/
information on ingredients).
personal protection
eye:
where eye contact is possible, wear safety glasses with side shields or
chemical splash goggles (ansi z87.1 approved).
skin:
where skin contact is possible, chemical-resistant clothing (e.g., gloves)
should be worn.
respiratory:
no respiratory protection is required if general room ventilation is
adequate and airborne concentrations are kept below exposure limits. when
exposure limits are exceeded, use appropriate respiratory protection
(niosh/msha) to prevent overexposure.
