*********************** III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION INFORMATION ***********************

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:

Must wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Cool fire-exposed containers with water spray.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

Products of combustion are toxic. Heated solvent vapors can travel to an ignition
source and flash back.

************************ IV - HEALTH EFFECTS INFORMATION ***************************

ROUTES OF ENTRY - SKIN CONTACT X EYE CONTACT X

INHALATION X INGESTION

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Based upon animal toxicity information available for this material material, the
following effects can be anticipated: Direct skin or eye contact may produce severe
irritation and/or chemical burns with possible irreversible damage. Ingestion can
cause immediate burning pain in the mouth, throat and abdomen; severe swelling of the
larynx. Ingestion can cause skeletal muscle paralysis affecting the ability to
breathe; circulatory shock; and/or convulsions. May be fatal if ingested. Solvent
vapors or mists of product may cause irritation of mucous membranes. Prolonged
inhalation may produce drowsiness, lassitude and inability to concentrate.

OVEREXPOSURE MAY AGGRAVATE EXISTING CONDITIONS:

No effects indicated.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

For eyes contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of running water for at
least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart to ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the
eye and lids with water. Get immediate medical attention. If physician not
available, flush for additional 15 minutes and then transport victim to medical care.

For skin contact, wash with plenty of running water, and soap if available, for 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical attention.
Wash clothing and decontaminate shoes before reuse.

If swallowed, immediately give 3-4 glasses of milk (if unavailable, give water). DO
NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting does occur, give fluids again. Get immediate
medical attention. Have physician determine if patient's condition allows for
induction of vomiting or evacuation of the stomach. Do not give anything by mouth to
a convulsing or unconscious person.

************************ IV - HEALTH EFFECTS INFORMATION ***************************

If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get immediate medical attention. If not
breathing, clear airway and start artificial respiration. If victim is having
trouble breathing, give supplemental oxygen, if available.

CHEMICALS LISTED AS CARCINOGEN BY:

NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM - No

I.A.R.C. MONOGRAPHS - No

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Measures
against circulatory shock, as well as oxygen and measures to support breathing
manually or mechanically may be needed.

************************ VI - SPILL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION ***********************

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF MATERIAL SPILL OR RELEASE

DANGER! Corrosive and flammable material. Remove all sources of ignition and ground
all equipment before beginning cleanup. Floors may become slippery. Wear
appropriate protective equipment and NIOSH approved respirator where mists or vapors
of unknown concentrations may be generated (self-contained breathing apparatus
preferred).

Dike and contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer the
liquid and solid separately to containers for recovery or disposal. Keep spill out
of sewers and open bodies of water.

************************ VI - SPILL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION ***********************

WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS

Dispose of in compliance with all Federal, state and local laws and regulations.
Incineration is the preferred method.

CONTAINER DISPOSAL
Triple rinse (or equivalent). Offer for recycling or reconditioning, or
puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or incinerate if allowed by state and
local authorities. If burned, stay out of smoke.

*********************** VII - PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION **********************

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
In processes where mists or vapors may be generated, proper ventilation must be
provided in accordance with good ventilation practices.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
In processes where mists or vapors may be generated, a NIOSH approved respirator is
advised in the absence of proper environmental controls.

PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Rubber or neoprene, to prevent skin contact.

EYE PROTECTION
Wear chemical splash goggles where there is a potential for eye contact. Use safety
glasses with side shields under normal use conditions.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Eye wash; safety shower; protective clothing (long sleeves, coveralls or other, as
appropriate), when needed, to prevent skin contact.

*************************** VIII - STORAGE AND HANDLING ***************************

PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND HANDLING :

Maximum storage temperature: 140 o F. Store containers in compliance with the most
recent NFPA code (NFPA 30). Ground all containers prior to pouring. Keep containers
closed until used. Do not contaminate drinking water, food or feed by storage or
disposal.
