HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Clear, Colorless, Volatile Liquid IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for breathing. Harmful if inhaled. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce toxic and corrosive products. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS EYES: Liquid contact can cause irritation, which may be severe. SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash). SKIN ABSORPTION: Harmful if absorbed through skin. INGESTION: Ingestion of large amounts may produce abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Swallowing small amounts is not likely to produce harmful effects. INHALATION: High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness, unconsciousness, and possibly death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without selfcontained breathing apparatus. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE EYES: Can cause severe eye irritation. INGESTION: Poison - may be fatal if swallowed. ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: Inhalation of high concentrations can cause an increase in the sensitivity of the heart to adrenaline, which could result in irregular heartbeat and reduced heart function. Workers with heart disease or compromised heart function should have limited exposure to material. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN: Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. INGESTION: Aspiration hazard. If swallowed, vomiting may occur spontaneously, but do not induce. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs. Call a physician immediately. file:///N|/MSDS/18674z3j.htm (2 of 7)1/13/2004 11:57:56 AM ECG Electronics Degreaser INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. Seek immediate medical attention. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLAMMABLE LIMITS: 7.4 to 15.5 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: As appropriate for combustibles in area. EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors, when present in the flammable range (listed above), especially in a confined or poorly ventilated space, can be ignited with a flame or high intesity source of heat. FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to knock down vapors which may result from product decomposition. FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES SMALL SPILL: Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. LARGE SPILL: -Implement cleanup procedures. -If in public area, keep public away and advise authorities. -Recover by pumping (use an explosion proof or hand pump) or with a suitable absorbent. RELEASE NOTES: Spills and releases may have to be reported to Federal and/or local authorities. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE GENERAL PROCEDURES: Use only in a well ventilated area. STORAGE: Store in a cool place in original container and protect from sunlight. 8.

S = Skin ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT EYES AND FACE: For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear splash-proof goggles. SKIN: The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. Gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate protection. Buna Butyl Natural Latex Neoprene Solvex Viton RESPIRATORY: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. COMMENTS: Suggested gloves: MYLAR coated Durafab, PVA or neoprene. 9.
