                        Section 3.  Hazards Identification


Emergency Overview:  May cause eye, skin and respiratory system irritation.
Primary Routes of Exposure:  Eye. Skin.
Eye Contact: Can cause irritation. Skin Contract: Irritation can occur following
prolonged or repeated contact.  Inhalation (breathing): Processing vapors can
possibly cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract.  Ingestion
(swallowing): Ingestion can cause gastrointestional irritation.  Aggravation of
Existing Conditions: A review of available data does not identify worsening of
existing medical conditions.
Carcinogenicity:                 ACGIH    IARC    NTP   OSHA

HMIS Hazard Rating:  Health: 1,    Fire: 0,   Reactivity: 0.


                          Section 4.  First-Aid Measures


Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If irritation
develops, consult a physician.  Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash
affected area with soap and plenty of water. If irritation develops, consult a
physician. Wash contaminated clothing separately before reuse.
Inhalation (breathing):  Remove to fresh air. If symptoms develop, seek
immediate attention. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Ingestion
(swallowing): Call a physician
immediately. Induce vomiting only as directed by medical personnel. Note to
Physician: Treatment should be directed at preventing absorption, administering
to the symptoms as they occur, and providing supportive therapy.


                        Section 5.  Fire-Fighting Measures


Flash Point:  Not Determined:  Explosive Limit: LEL(%): Not Determined:  UEL(%):
Not Determined:  Autoignition Temperature: Not Determined:
Unusual Fire and Hazardous Combustion and Decomposition Products: Smoke, soot,
and toxic/irritation fumes (i.e., carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc.).  Fire
and Explosion
Hazards:  May liberate irritating or toxic vapors during combustion or
decomposition. Extinguishing Media: Based on the NFPA guide, use dry chemical,
carbon dioxide, or alcohol foam.Use water to cool containers exposed to fire.
For large fires, use water spray or fog, thoroughly drenching the burning
material:  Fire-Fighting Procedures/Equipment: Fire fighters and others who may
be exposed to the products of combustion should be equipped with NIOSH-approved,
positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective
clothing.


                      Section 6. Accidental Release Measures


Spill Containment and Recovery:  For a small spill, flush with copious amount of
water until no color to be observed. For a large spill, use an absorbent and
place contaminated material in a suitable container for disposal.  Disposal
Methods: Disposal must be in accordance with applicable governmental
regulations. However, the recommended dilution poses no adverse threat to the
environment so that it can be flushed to the sewers.


                         Section 7. Handling and Storage


Storage Conditions:  Store in a cool, dry,well-ventilated area away from heat,
ignition sources, and direct sunlight. Always keep containers tightly closed.
Keep from freezing.  Personal Hygiene: Wash thoroughly after handling,
especially before eating, drinking, smoking, or using restroom facilities.
Contaminated clothing and shoes should be thoroughly cleaned and dried before
reuse. Empty Container Precautions: Empty containers can retain product
residues. Do not reuse empty container for food, clothing, or products for human
or animal consumption or where skin contact may occur.


                Section 8.  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection


Engineering Controls/Ventilation:  Maintain airborne concentrations below the
established exposure limits (see PEL and TLV in section 2) by providing adequate
ventilation. General (dilution) ventilation may be acceptable, however, local
exhaust ventilation is recommended when vapors, mists, or dusts can be released.
 Eye Protection: Wear safety goggles. An eye wash facility should be readily
available.  Skin Protection: Wear protective clothing and appropriate impervious
gloves. Because a variety of protective gloves exist, always consult glove
manufacturer to determine the proper type for specific operation.  Respiratory
Protection: Avoid breathing vapor and/or mist. If occupational exposure limits
are exceeded wear NIOSH/OSHA approved equipment. Determine the appropriate type
by consulting the respirator manufacturer. High airborne concentrations may
necessitate the use of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or a supplied
air respirator. Respiratory protection programs must be in compliance with 29
CFR 1910.134.
