3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Potential Health Effects

Eye
Exposure can cause eye irritation. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling.

Skin
Exposure can cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may dry the skin. Symptoms
may include redness, burning, drying and cracking, skin burns and skin damage. Skin absorption is
possible, but harmful effects are not expected from this route of exposure under normal conditions of
handling and use.

Swallowing
Single dose oral toxicity is low. Swallowing small amounts during normal handling is not likely
to cause harmful effects; swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can enter the lungs
during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung inflammation and/or damage.
Inhalation
Exposure to vapor or mist is possible. Short-term inhalation toxicity is low. Breathing small
amounts during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects; breathing large amounts may be
harmful. Symptoms are more typically seen at air concentrations exceeding the recommended exposure
limits.

Symptoms of Exposure
Gastrointestinal irritation (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, respiratory tract),
central nervous systems depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache,
unconsciousness), central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea,
headache, unconsciousness), respiratory depression,, shortness of breath, coma, and death.

Target Organ Effects
Exposure to this material (or a component) has been found to cause kidney damage in male rats.
The mechanism by which this toxicity occurs is specific to the male rat and the kidney effects are not
expected to occur in humans. Prolonged and repeated exposure to n-hexane may cause peripheral
neuropathy by damaging peripheral nerve tissue (that of the arms and legs) and result in muscular weakness
and loss of sensation. Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to brain damage characterized by
disturbances in gait, personality changes and loss of memory. Comparable central nervous system effects
have not been shown to result from occupational exposure to toluene. Overexposure to this material (or its
components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals, and may
aggravate pre-existing disorders of these organs in humans: mild, reversible liver effects, cardiac
sensitization, effects on hearing, respiratory tract damage, testis damage, kidney damage, central nervous
system damage. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the
following effects in humans, and may aggravate pre-existing disorders of these organs: central nervous
system effects, cardiac sensitization, kidney damage.

Developmental Information
This material (or a component) has been shown to cause birth defects in laboratory animal studies.
The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain. This material (or a component) has been shown to
cause harm to the fetus in laboratory animal studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that
harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain. Toluene may be
harmful to the human fetus based on positive test results with laboratory animals. Case studies reveal that
prolonged intentional abuse of toluene during pregnancy may cause birth defects in humans.

Cancer Information
In testing of C-6 isomers for carcinogenicity by inhalation, there was a treatment-related increase
in liver tumors (adenomas and carcinomas) in female mice at the highest dose only (9,000 ppm). There
was no increase in tumor incidence in male mice or in rats of either sex at any dose level.

Other Health Effects
No data

Primary Route (s) of Entry
Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye contact.


4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eyes
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush
eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate medical
attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with large amounts of water. If skin is
damaged, seek immediate medical attention. If skin is not damaged and symptoms persist, seek medical
attention. Launder clothing before reuse.

Swallowing
Do not induce vomiting. This material is an aspiration hazard. If individual is drowsy or
unconscious, place on left side with the head down. Seek medical attention. If possible, do not leave
individual unattended.

Inhalation
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Seek
immediate medical attention; keep person warm and quiet. If person is not breathing, begin artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.

Note to Physicians
Inhalation of high concentrations of this material, as could occur in enclosed spaces or during
deliberate abuse, may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac
arrhythmias in persons exposed to this material.


5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point
20.0 F (-6.6 C) SETA

Explosive Limit
(for component) Lower 1.0 Upper 7.0 %

Autoignition Temperature
No data

Hazardous Products of Combustion
May form: carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, various hydrocarbons.

Fire and Explosion Hazards
Material is highly volatile and readily gives off vapors which may travel along the ground or be
moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors,
static discharge, or other ignition sources at locations distant from material handling point. Never use
welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty) because product (even just residue) can ignite
explosively.

Extinguishing Media
Regular foam, water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.

Fire Fighting Instructions
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive pressure
demand mode with appropriate turn ?Cout gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment. Refer
to the personal protective equipment section of this MSDS.

NFPA Rating
Not determined
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Small Spill
Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent material.

Large Spill
Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks). Persons not
wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed.
Stop spill at source. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Prevent from
spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to
clean containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product. Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and
other materials to containers for disposal.


7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain
product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be
observed. All five gallon pails and larger metal containers including tank cars and tank trucks should be
grounded and/or bonded when material is transferred. When used as part of an EPDM roofing system
involving roller application, pails should be electrically and mechanically connected to the application
equipment and the systems should be grounded. When used as part of a roofing system involving spray
application, the roof surface, applicator nozzle and human operator should be electrically and mechanically
connected and the system should be grounded. Hydrocarbon solvents are basically non-conductors of
electricity and can become electrostatically charged during mixing, filtering or pumping at high flow rates.
If this charge reaches a sufficiently high level, sparks can form that may ignite the vapors of flammable
liquids.


8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Eye Protection
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA
regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Consult your safety representative.

Skin Protection
Wear resistant gloves (consulting your safety equipment supplier). To prevent repeated or
prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots..

Respiratory Protections
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see exposure guidelines),
a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control.
OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under specified
conditions (see your industrial hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to
reduce exposure.

Engineering Controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure
below TLV (s).
