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 |
Product
is beige, medium viscosity mastic with a strong solvent odor.
DANGER: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, VAPOR HARMFUL. CONTAINS HEXANE. Vapors can cause flash fire. Vapors may 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. Extinguish all flames and pilot lights. Turn off stoves, heaters, and sparking electric motors. Keep away from all sources of ignition until all vapors are gone. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapor. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. |
|
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
|
Prolonged or repeated skin contact
can cause irritation.
|
|
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
|
|
Target Organs
|
Prolonged or repeated
overexposure may cause eye, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system,and
peripheral nervous system 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.
|

Vapors can travel back to the
source of ignition. 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 |
Carbon monoxide may be released
during combustion.
|
|
Fire-Fighting Procedures
|
Can burn in a fire, releasing
toxic vapors. Wear a NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus.
|
|
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
|
Open container in well-ventilated
area. Use only in well-ventilated area. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container
is emptied. Containers may retain residues and vapors. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact
with the skin.

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.
