LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD50 (ORAL, RAT) 12,600 MG/KG
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: DUE TO THE LOW VAPOR
    PRESSURE, INHALATION OF THE VAPORS AT ROOM TEMPERATURES IS
    UNLIKELY. INHALATION OF MIST MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY
    TRACT. INGESTION: LOW TOXICITY. MAY CAUSE N AUSEA, HEADACHE,
    DIARRHEA. SKIN: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. EYE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.
    CHRONIC EXPOSURE: MAY CAUSE KIDNEY INJURY.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: INHALATION OF MIST MAY CAUSE
    IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT. INGESTION: MAY CAUSE NAUSEA,
    HEADACHE, DIARRHEA. SKIN: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. EYE: MAY CAUSE
    IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS OR EYE PROBLEMS OR IMPAIRED LIVER OR KIDNEY FUNCTION MAY
    BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR
    ANY BREATHING DIFFICULTY. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING IMMEDIATELY AS
    DIRECTED BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
    UNCONSC IOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
    SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. REMOVE
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. WASH CLOTHING AND THOROUGHLY CLEAN
    SHOES BEFORE R EUSE. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS.
    EYE: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION IF IRR ITATION PERSISTS.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=198.9C, 390.F
Autoignition Temp:=370.C, 698.F
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY MEANS SUITABLE FOR EXTINGUISHING
    SURROUNDING FIRE. WATER SPRAY MAY BE USED TO EXTINGUISH SURROUNDING
    FIRE AND COOL EXPOSED CONTAINERS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
    FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE
    PRESSURE MODE. WATER S PRAY WILL ALSO REDUCE FUME AND IRRITANT
    GASES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ABOVE FLASH POINT, VAPOR-AIR MIXTURES ARE
    EXPLOSIVE. SLIGHT FIRE HAZARD WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAME.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR
    APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. CONTAIN AND RECOVER
    LIQUID WHEN POSSIBLE. COLLECT LIQUID IN AN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER OR
    ABSORB WITH AN INERT MATERIAL ( E.G., VERMICULITE, DRY SAND,
    EARTH), AND PLACE IN A CHEMICAL WASTE CONTAINER. DO NOT USE
    COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS SAW DUST. DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER!
