[Flash Point]

35
[Autoignition]

253
[Fire Fighting]

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint. To extinguish fire, use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or regular foam.
[Upper exp. limit]

[Lower exp. limit]

.8
[Fire Potential]

Quite flammable - combustion probable.
[Ingestion]

Do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
[Inhalation]

Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
[Skin]

Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
[Eyes]

Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
[Storage]

Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool place in the original container and protect from sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container.
[Handling]

Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Use only in a well ventilated area. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
[Inhalation]

May cause respiratory tract irritation. Aspiration may cause respiratory swelling and pneumonitis.
[Skin]

Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
[Eyes]

Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye burns.
[Ingestion]

Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause kidney damage. May cause central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
[Hazards]

Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers.

[Personal Protection]

Eyes: Wear chemical goggles. Skin: Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure.
[Respirators]

Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.
[Exposure Effects]

Headache and dizziness may occur with vapor exposure. Seizures may develop after large ingestions. CNS depression including coma may occur following turpentine ingestion. The use of turpentine and water as a vaginal douche has resulted in abortion.
[Exposure limit(s)]

TLV: 100 ppm; 556 mg/m3 (as TWA) (ACGIH 1992-1993) OSHA PEL: TWA 100 ppm (560 mg/m3) NIOSH REL: TWA 100 ppm (560 mg/m3) NIOSH IDLH: 800 ppm
