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 gray, medium
viscosity mastic with a strong solvent odor.
DANGER: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, VAPOR HARMFUL. CONTAINS TOLUENE AND 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 mists.
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.

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 buildup
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.

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.
|
|

|
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 and liver, and 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.
