-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
This product is considered hazardous according to regulatory guidelines
(See Section 15).

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Clear, Colorless Liquid.  Material is combustible.
     Liquid can release vapors that readily form flammable mixtures at
     or above the flash point.  Product can accumulate a static charge
     which may cause a fire or explosion.  DOT ERG No. : 128

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Slightly irritating to the eyes.  Prolonged
     repeated skin contact may cause skin irritation and/or
     dermatitis.  High vapor/aerosol concentrations are irritating to
     the eyes and the respiratory tract, and may cause headaches,
     dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and other
     central nervous system effects, including death.  Low viscosity
     material-if swallowed may enter the lungs and cause lung damage.

For further health effects/toxicological data, see Section 11.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     a physician.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash contact areas with soap and water.  Immediately
     remove contaminated clothing.  Launder contaminated clothing
     before reuse.  (See Section 16 - Injection Injury)
INHALATION: Remove from further exposure.  If respiratory irritation,
     dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate
     medical assistance.  If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation
     with mechanical device or use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
INGESTION: Seek immediate medical attention.  Do not induce vomiting.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: Material if aspirated into the lungs may cause
     chemical pneumonitis.  PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH MAY
     BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:  Hydrocarbon Solvents/Petroleum
     Hydrocarbons- Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical and water fog.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Water should be used to keep
     fire-exposed containers cool.  Prevent runoff from fire control
     or dilution from entering streams, sewers, or drinking water
     supply.  This liquid is volatile and gives off invisible vapors.
     Either the liquid or the vapor may settle in low areas or travel
     some distance along the ground or surface to ignition sources,
     where they may ignite or explode.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: For fires in enclosed areas, fire
     fighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Material is combustible.  Liquid
     can release vapors that readily form flammable mixtures at or
     above the flash point.  Product can accumulate a static charge
     which may cause a fire or explosion.
COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water.
Flash Point C(F): 42(108) (ASTM D-56).
Flammable Limits (approx.% vol.in air) -   LEL:  0.9%,   UEL:  6.0%
NFPA HAZARD ID:   Health: 1,  Flammability: 2,  Reactivity: 0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: Report spills/releases as required to
     appropriate authorities.  U.S. Coast Guard and EPA regulations
     require immediate reporting of spills/releases that could reach
     any waterway including intermittent dry creeks.  Report
     spill/release to Coast Guard National Response Center toll free
     number (800)424-8802.  In case of accident or road spill notify
     CHEMTREC (800) 424-9300.
PROCEDURES IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
     LAND SPILL: Eliminate sources of ignition.  Shut off source taking
     normal safety precautions.  Take measures to minimize the effects on
     ground water.  Recover by pumping using explosion-proof equipment or
     contain spilled liquid with sand or other suitable absorbent and
     remove mechanically into containers.  If necessary, dispose of
     adsorbed residues as directed in Section 13.
     WATER SPILL: Eliminate sources of ignition and warn other ships in
     the vicinity to stay clear.  Notify port and other relevant
     authorities.  Remove from surface with suitable adsorbents.  If
     allowed by local authorities and environmental agencies, sinking
     and/or suitable dispersants may be used in non-confined waters.
     Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure
     conformity to local disposal regulations.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent material from entering sewers,
     water sources or low lying areas; advise the relevant authorities
     if it has, or if it contaminates soil/vegetation.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: See Section 8

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
HANDLING: Keep product away from high energy ignition sources, heat,
     sparks, pilot lights, static electricity, and open flame.  Avoid
     inhalation of vapors or mists.  Use in well ventilated area away
     from all ignition sources.  Do not fill container in or on a
     vehicle.  Static electricity may ignite vapors and cause fire.
     Place container on ground when filling and keep nozzle in contact
     with container.  See Section 8 for additional personal protection
     advice when handling this product.
STORAGE: Store in a cool area.  Small containers of approved design,
