Inhalation:Not expected to be a health hazard.
Ingestion:Not expected to be a health hazard.
Skin Contact:Not expected to be a health hazard from skin exposure.
Eye Contact:No adverse effects expected.
Chronic Exposure:No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:No information found.
Inhalation:Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion:Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were swallowed, get medical advice.
Skin Contact:Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
Eye Contact:Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
Fire:When heated above 160C (320F) in enclosed spaces may generate highly flammable/explosive acetone.
Explosion:Not considered to be an explosion hazard, except when heated (See above).
Fire Extinguishing Media:Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information:In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage.
Airborne Exposure Limits:None established.
Ventilation System:A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
