3.	HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION 

WARNING!
FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR
POTENTIAL PEROXIDE FORMER
HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS AND IRRITATION OF THE EYES OR RESPIRATORY TRACT
PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE DRYING, CRACKING, OR IRRITATION
 
HMIS® Hazard Ratings:	Health - 1,  Flammability -3,  Chemical Reactivity - 0  	

HMIS® rating involves data interpretations that may vary from company to company. They are intended only for rapid, general identification of the magnitude of the specific hazard. To deal adequately with the safe handling of this material, all the information contained in this MSDS must be considered.

4.	FIRST-AID MEASURES 

Inhalation:  Move to fresh air. Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. Eyes:  Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out immediately with water. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. In case of irritation from airborne exposure, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.  Skin:   Wash with soap and water.  Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.  Get medical attention if symptoms occur.  Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.  Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.    	
Ingestion:  Seek medical advice.  	

5.	FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES 

Extinguishing Media: water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures:   Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. USE WATER WITH CAUTION. Material will float and may ignite on surface of water. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective in fighting the fire.  	
Hazardous Combustion Products:   carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide   	
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:  Vapors may cause a flash fire or ignite explosively. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Prevent buildup of vapors or gases to explosive concentrations. May form peroxides of unknown stability. 	

6.	ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 

Use personal protective equipment. Eliminate all ignition sources. Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste. 
For Large Spills: Use water spray to disperse vapors and dilute spill to a nonflammable mixture. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams. Dike for later disposal. 

7.	HANDLING AND STORAGE 

Personal Precautionary Measures: Avoid breathing high vapor concentrations. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. 
Prevention of Fire and Explosion: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame.  Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.  Use only with adequate ventilation.  Minimize exposure to air.  If peroxide formation is suspected, do not open or move container.  Comply with all national, state, and local codes pertaining to the storage, handling, dispensing, and disposal of flammable liquids. 
Storage: Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Store away from heat and light. 

8.	EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

US. California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Sec tion 5155. Airborne ContaminantsShort Term Exposure Limit (STEL):   250 ppm, 875 mg/m3 	

Ventilation:   Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used.  Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions.  If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.  If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.    	
Respiratory Protection:   If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, 1998. Respirator type: Air-purifying respirator with an appropriate, government approved (where applicable), air-purifying filter, cartridge or canister.  Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.    	
Eye Protection:   It is a good industrial hygiene practice to minimize eye contact. 	
Skin Protection:  For operations where prolonged or repeated skin contact may occur, chemical-resistant gloves should be worn. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.	
Recommended Decontamination Facilities: eye bath, washing facilities
