SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ***EMERGENCY OVERVIEW*** WARNING! FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. CAUSES EYE, SKIN, NOSE AND THROAT IRRITATION.
Potential Health Effects Acute Effects (Short Term):
Eye:
Contact with liquid or vapor may result in irritation, redness, tearing, and blurred vision.
Skin:
May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying and cracking of skin, and skin burns.
Swallowing: Ingestion of this material may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Aspiration of this material into the lungs due to vomiting may produce chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.

Inhalation: Excessive inhalation of vapors may cause nasal and respiratory
irritation, acute nervous system depression, fatigue, weakness,
nausea, headache, and dizziness. Symptoms usually occur at air
concentrations higher than the recommended exposure limits (See
Section 8).
Chronic Effects of Overexposure (Long Term): Styrene: Excessive overexposure to styrene has been found to cause the
following effects in humans and may aggravate pre-existing disorders of these organs; central nervous system effects, effects on hearing, mild effects on color vision and respiratory tract damage.
Cancer Information: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified styrene as a group 2B carcinogen (possibly carcinogenic to humans). This classification is not based on evidence that styrene may be carcinogenic, but rather on a revised definition for Group 2B, and consideration of new data on styrene oxide(Group 2A).
Other Health Effects: NOTICE: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation, Skin contact, Eye contact, Ingestion, Skin absorption.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Skin: Swallowing:
Inhalation:
Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse. Consult a physician or poison control center immediately. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth; place individual on the left side with the head down. If possible, do not leave individual unattended. If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention; keep person warm and quiet. If person is not breathing, begin artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be benificial if administered by trained personnel.

SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: 89 ºF (31.7 ºC)
Explosive Limit: Lower: 1.1%
Upper: 6.1%
Autoignition Temperature: 914.0 ºF (490.0 ºC)
OSHA Flammability Class: Flammable Liquid Class IC
Hazardous Products of Combustion: May form toxic and corrosive gases: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, styrene oxide and various hydrocarbons.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or may be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors, static discharge, or other ignition sources at locations distant from material handling point.
Extinguishing Media: Regular foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool until fire is out. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus NIOSH approved with a full facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment.
NFPA Rating:
Health - 2, Flammability - 3, Reactivity - 2
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill: Eliminate all sources of ignition such as flares, flames (including pilot lights), and electrical sparks. Ventilate the area. Wear proper protective equipment (Section 8). Avoid breathing vapors. Collect with an inert absorbant and dispose of properly.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: All hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe sanding dust, vapors or spray mist. Do not take internally. Close container after each use. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage: Store material in a cool, well-ventilated area. For maximum product quality, avoid prolonged storage at temperatures above 75°F (25°C). Do not use or store near heat, sparks, or open flame. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with incompatible materials.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are recommended.
Skin Protection: Protective gloves and proper clothing should be worn to prevent skin contact. Gloves should be made of neoprene or natural rubber. A barrier cream may be used for additional skin protection. To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protection: Use a NIOSH approved respirator designed to remove particulate matter and organic solvent vapors.
Engineering Controls: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below acceptable limits. Explosion-proof ventilation system is acceptable.
