    DISORDERS MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THIS MATERIAL.
    PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING LUNG DISORDERS (I.G. ASTHMA-LIKE
    CONDITIONS) MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYE CONTACT: MOVE AWAY FROM EXPOSURE. FOR DIRECT CONTACT,
    IRRITATION/REDNESS PERSISTS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN CONTACT:
    CLEANSE  AFFECTED AREA THOROUGHLY BY WASHING WITH MILD SOAP AND
    WATER. IF IRRITATION/REDNESS DEVELOPS AND PERSISTS, SEEK MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. INHALATION: MOVE VICTIM AWAY FROM EXPOSURE AND INTO
    FRESH AIR. IF VIC TIM IS NOT BREATHING, ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION
    SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, PROVIDE OXYGEN.
    SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. IF DROWSY , PLACE ON LEFT SIDE, HEAD DOWN.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point Method:TCC
Lower Limits:1.0%
Upper Limits:7.0%
Extinguishing Media:CO2,FOAM,DRY CHEMICAL
Fire Fighting Procedures:THE USE OF SCBA IS RECOMMENDED FOR FIRE
    FIGHTERS.WATER SPRAY MAY BE USEFUL TO MINIMIZE VAPORS AND COOLING
    CONTAINERS BUT USE CAUTION TO PREVENT SPREADING OF BURNING LIQUID
    BY THE COOLING WATER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THIS MATERIAL IS FLAMMABLE AND MAY BE
    IGNITED BY HEAT,SPARKS,FLAME,OR STATIC ELECTRICITY
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF SPILL. REMOVE ALL IGNITION
    SOURCES.  KEEP OUT OF DRAINS, SEWERS AND WATERWAYS. USE SAND OR
    OTHER INERT MATERIAL TO DAM AND CONTAIN SPILLS. DO NOT FLUSH AREA
    WITH WATER. NOTIFY APPROP RIATE AGENCIES.  HIGH EXPENSION FOAM MAY
    BE USED TO SUPPRESS VAPORS.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED, COOL,
    DRY  AND AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION. USE AND STORE WITH ADEQUATE
    VENTILATION.
Other Precautions:AVOID INHALATION OF VAPORS AND PERSONAL CONTACT.
    "EMPTY" CONTAINERS RETAIN RESIDUE AND CAN BE DANGEROUS. DO NOT
    PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH
    CONTAINER TO HEAT, FLA ME OR OTHER IGNITION  SOURCES. THEY EXPLODE
    AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
