Section 2 Chemical Composition / Hazardous Ingredients Ingredients CAS # % by Weight OSHA PEL ACGIH TLV Methyl Ethyl Ketone 78-93-3 40-70 TWA: 200 ppm STEL: 300 ppm TWA: 200 ppm STEL: 300 ppm Toluene 108-88-3 10-30 TWA: 100 ppm STEL: 150 ppm TWA: 50 ppm STEL: Section 3 Hazards Identification Route of entry ; Eye contact : Skin contact : Skin absorption : Inhalation : Ingestion : Effects of acute exposure to product : Effects of chronic exposure to product : Other important hazards : Contains materials that are severely irritating to the eyes. Can cause moderate skin irritation, deffatting and dermatitis. Breathing of high vapour concentration could cause dizziness, headache and even unconsciousness. May be anaesthetic and may cause other central nervous system effects. Can cause gastro-intestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Small amounts of liquid aspirated into respiratory system can cause severe health effects (e.g. bronchopneumonia or pulmonary edema). See above May cause damage to central nervous system. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying or cracking of the skin. : not available 1
Section 4 First Aid Measures Eye contact : Skin contact : Skin absorption : Inhalation : Ingestion : Immediately flush with water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Get medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with lukewarm water and soap. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs or persists. Remove patient to fresh air. If not breathing, qualified personnel should administer artificial respiration. Get medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention or contact with your local poison control center. Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures Fire hazards / conditions of flammability : Extremely flammable liquid. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame or temperature above the flash point. Vapours are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back Means of extinction : «Alcohol» foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical. Flash point and method of determination : -5 o C (23ºF) Tag Closed Cup Lower flammable limit (% by volume) : 2.0 Upper flammable limit (% by volume) : 11.8 Explosion data ; Sensitivity to mechanical impact : Sensitivity to electrostatic discharge : Vapours can probably be ignited by a static discharge. Oxidizing properties : Auto-ignition temperature : 480 o C (896ºF) Special fire-fighting procedures / equipment : A self contained breathing apparatus is required for fire fighting personnel. Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. Hazardous combustion products : Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride and other toxic vapour or gases that are common to thermal degradation. Section 6 Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions : Use proper personal protection. See section 8. Environmental precautions : Contain spill, preventing it from entering sewer lines or waterways Spill response / Cleanup : Ventilate. Remove all sources of ignition, open flames, sparks, etc. Wear proper protective equipment (see section 8). Large spills should be collected for disposal. Small spills may be wiped. Use inert absorbents to pick up product and place it into a secure container. Prevent it from entering sewers, drains, and other waterways. Prohibited materials : Section 7 Handling and Storage Safe handling procedures : Storage requirements : Incompatible materials : Special packaging materials : Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid breathing vapours. Use adaquate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Ground system is recommended. Store in a well ventilated area away from incompatibles. Store away from all sources of heat and ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Strong acids, strong bases, chlorinated solvents and oxidizing agents. : not available 2
Section 8 Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Ventilation and engineering controls : Natural or mechanical (explosion proof) ventilation to keep vapour concentration well below TLV. Keeping in mind that vapours are heavier than air. Respiratory protection : Use HIOSH/MSHA approved air supply respirator, if TLV is exceeded. Protective gloves : Wear impervious gloves (neoprene or rubber). Eye protection : Wear safety glasses. Other protective equipment : Eye bath and safety shower. Permissible exposure levels : See section 2. Section 9 Reactivity and Stability Data Stability and reactivity (polymerization) : Stable in normal conditions. Hazardous polymerisation will not occur. Conditions to avoid : Excessive heat, sparks and open flame. Materials to avoid : Strong acids, strong bases, chlorinated solvents and oxidizing agents. Hazardous decomposition products : Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other toxic vapours or gases that are common to thermal degradation or organic compounds. Section 10 Physical and Chemical Properties Physical form, color and odor : Liquid, clear light yellow and solvent odor. Odor threshold : ph : A/Ap Boiling Point : 80ºC (176ºF) Melting Point : N/Ap Freezing Point : < 0 ºC ( < 32 ºF) Solubility in water : Negligible Coefficient of oil / water distribution : Specific gravity or relative density (water = 1) : 0.85 to 1.00 Vapour pressure : 22 @ 20ºC (71,6 @ 68ºF) Vapour density (air = 1) : > 1 (heavier than air) Volatile organic compounds (VOC s g/l) : VOC less water less exempt solvent (g/l) : Evaporation rate : 1.8 (NBUAC=1) Percentage volatile by volume : Section 11 Toxicological Information LD 50 (species and route) : LC 50 (species and route) : Toxicological data : Carcinogenicity : Reproductive toxicity : Teratogenicity : Mutagenicity : Irritancy of product : Sensitization to product : Conditions aggravated by exposure : Name of toxicologically synergistic products : for the product; LD 50 (oral, rat) 636 mg/kg for toluene; LD 50 (oral, rat) 2737 mg/kg for methyl ethyl ketone. for the product; LC 50 (inhalation, rat) 49g/m 3 /4 hours for toluene LC 50 (inhalation, rat) 23,500 mg/m 3 /8 hours for methyl ethyl ketone.
