SECTION III-Physical Data
Boiling Point:                                   182F            
Specific Gravity                               (H2O=1)= 0.65
Solubility in Water:                        Insoluble
Appearance:                                    Colorless liquid with penetrating ether-like odor.
 
SECTION IV-Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point:                          18 F  Extremely Flammable Level 3 Aerosol
Extinguishing Media:                     Water, CO2, Foam, Dry Chemical
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:          Do not expose containers to temperatures above 120 F.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:        Forms flammable vapor air mixtures.  Lowers temperatures increases the difficulty of getting it to ignite.
 
SECTION V-Health Hazard and First Aid
Time Weighted Average (TWA):            50 ppm based in the raw material
Carcinogen:                         No
Acute Chronic Health Effects:     Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract.  Excessive exposure may cause carboxyhemoglobinemia; thereby impairing the bloods ability to transport oxygen. 
Primary Routes of Entry:             X Inhalation             X Skin             X Ingestion
Effects of Overexposure:             Eyes- May cause pain, moderate eye irritation and slight corneal injury.  Vapors may irritate eyes. 
                                                Skin- May cause irritation.  Repeated contact may cause drying or flaking of skin. 
                                                Inhalation: In confined or poorly ventilated areas, vapors can readily accumulated and cause                                                    unconsciousness and death.
                                                Ingestion- May be harmful.
 
First Aid:                               Eyes- Flush with water 15 minutes. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
                                                Skin- Wash with soap and water..
                                                Ingestion- Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
                                                Inhalation- Move to fresh air. Get medical attention.
SECTION VI-Reactivity Data
Stability:                                Stable  X
Conditions to Avoid: Hydrolysis producing small amounts of hydrochloric acid possible with gross water contamination. 
Avoid open flames, welding arcs, or other high temperature sources, which induce thermal decomposition.                  
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizers; caustics, chemically active metals such as aluminum, magnesium & sodium.
 
SECTION VII-S  pill or Leak Procedures
Steps to take in case material is released or spilled: use absorbent material and trade receptacle.  Waste disposal method Federal and Local regulations.
SECTION VIII-Special Protection Information
