Note
|
Repeated and prolonged
overexposure to the mixture of solvent(s) listed in Section 2 can result in systemic effects including
permanent brain, nervous system, liver, and kidney damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately
concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
|
|
Emergency
Overview |
DANGER: EXTREMELY
FLAMMABLE, VAPOR HARMFUL. Vapor can cause flash fire. Contains toluene and hexane. Vapors can
ignite explosively. Prevent buildup of vapors by opening all windows and doors to create
cross-ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Do not smoke. Turn off stoves,
heaters and sparking electric motors. Keep away from all source of ignition until all vapors
are gone. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Product can be light brown, tan, or grayish in color. It
is a medium viscosity mastic with a strong solvent odor.
|
|
Routes of Entry
|
Ingestion: Yes; Inhalation:
Yes; Skin: Yes; Eye: Yes
|
|
Inhalation
|
Avoid breathing vapors or mist.
May cause headache and dizziness. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the nose,
throat and lungs and can cause systemic effects. Vapors can readily accumulate in confined
or poorly ventilated areas.
|
|
Ingestion
|
Ingestion is not a probable route
of exposure. Harmful if swallowed.
|
|
Skin
|
May be harmful if absorbed through
skin, may produce kidney, liver, and central nervous system damage. A single exposure is not
likely to result in the material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
|
|
Eye
|
Substance may cause severe
eye irritation.
|
|
Medical Conditions
Aggravated by Exposure |
Pre-existing neurological conditions,
skin disorders, and respiratory disease.
|
|
Carcinogenicity
|
IARC: No; NTP: No;
OSHA: No
|
|
Reproductive Toxicity
|
Toluene
may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test results with
laboratory animals. Case studies show that prolonged intentional abuse
of toluene during pregnancy can cause severe birth defects in humans.
|
|
Target Organs
|
Prolonged or repeated overexposure
may cause eye, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system,
liver and kidney damage.
|
|
|
Epinephrine and other sympathomimetic
drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias (irregular beating) in persons exposed to high concentrations
of hexane (e.g. in enclosed spaces or with deliberate abuse). If used, monitor heart action closely.
Consider use of other drugs with less arrhythmogenic potential.
|
|
Inhalation
|
Remove to fresh air. If difficulty
persists seek medical attention.
|
|
Ingestion
|
Call poison control center
immediately. Follow their specific instructions. Do not induce vomiting.
|
|
Skin
|
Wash with soap and water. Contact
a physician if irritation develops or persists.
|
|
Eye
|
Hold eyelids apart and flush with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.

|
Can form explosive mixtures at
temperatures at or above the flashpoint.
|
|
Extinguishing Media
|
Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide,
dry chemical, or ABC dry chemical when fighting fires involving this product.
|
|
Hazardous Combustion
Products |
Oxides of carbon may be released
during combustion.
|
|
Fire-Fighting Procedures
|
Wear a NIOSH approved self-contained
breathing apparatus. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Water may be ineffective,
but may be used to cool exposed containers to prevent build-up and possible auto ignition or
explosion when exposed to extreme heat.
|
|
Containment Techniques
|
Use inert absorbent to dike the
spill. Keep away from drains.
|
|
Clean-up
|
If possible pump liquid into
an approved container or spread absorbent over spills and shovel (use non-sparking equipment)
product/absorbent mixture into an approved container. If product has dried, scrape up and
place in an approved container.
|
|
Emergency Measures
|
Isolate hazard area. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering area. Wear all appropriate personal
protection equipment (PPE) (See Section 8).
|
|
Handling
|
Avoid breathing vapors from the
headspace of containers. Keep lid closed when not in use. Use only in well ventilated areas.
Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied. Containers may retain
product residue and vapors.
|
|
Storage
|
Keep away from sources of
ignition. Do not store above 110°F. Store large quantities in buildings designed
and protected for storage of NFPA Class 1-B flammable materials.

Engineering Controls
|
Use local exhaust as needed
to maintain occupational exposure limits. Maintain standard plant ventilation.
|
|
Other
|
Facilities storing or utilizing
any chemical should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
|
|
Respiratory
Protection |
Where exposure limits may be
exceeded select a NIOSH approved respirator with appropriate Protection Factor and cartridge for
the specific contaminants. Follow requirements for respiratory protection in OSHA 1910.134.
|
|
Eye Protection
|
Chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1
or approved equivalent).
|
|

|
Hexane/Acute
|
Ingestion of hexane can cause nausea,
vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Hexane can irritate the skin and eyes. Acutely, the most
common toxic effects are central nervous system depression and chemical pneumonitis resulting
from aspiration into the lungs following ingestion.
|
|
Hexane/Chronic
|
Dermal irritation and central
nervous system depression accompanied by peripheral nervous system damage (polyneuropathy)
are common traits of sustained overexposure.
|
|
Toluene/Acute
|
Toluene is a central nervous system
depressant and skin and mucous membrane irritant. Severe dermatitis may result from its drying
and defatting action. Toluene is an aspiration hazard causing chemical pneumonitis.
|
|
Toluene/Chronic
|
Toluene can cause cardiac sensitization.
It is toxic to the kidney, liver. Can cause effects on the blood system such as increased clotting time.
Toluene may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test results with laboratory animals.
Case studies show that prolonged intentional abuse of toluene during pregnancy can cause birth
defects in humans.
