toluene                                   108-88-3           2.98               
 
OSHA PELs & ACGIH TLVs are listed in Section 8 where applicable.                
 
SECTION 3 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION                                               
 
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:                                                             
CAUTION: VAPOR HARMFUL. Contains emulsified TOLUENE. Use only with              
positive cross-ventilation. Do not allow contact with eyes or                   
prolonged contact with skin. Do not ingest.KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF             
CHILDREN. Material is milky blue thin liquid that is slippery when wet          
and alkaline in nature.                                                         
ROUTES OF ENTRY:                                                                
Ingestion:     Yes                                                              
Inhalation:    Yes                                                              
Skin:          Yes                                                              
Eye:           Yes                                                              
INHALATION:                                                                     
Avoid breathing vapor or mists.                                                 
May cause headaches and dizziness.                                              
INGESTION:                                                                      
Ingestion is not a probable route of exposure. Product is highly                
alkaline. Caustic will affect the central nervous system and cause              
severe stomach distress.                                                        
SKIN:                                                                           
Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause irritation.                        
May be harmful if absorbed through skin, may produce kidney, liver and          
central nervous system damage.                                                  
A single exposure is not likely to result in the material                       
being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.                             
EYE:                                                                            
Eye contact with highly alkaline substance may cause irreversible eye           
damage. Eye protection must be worn.                                            
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:                                      
Preexisting neurological conditions, skin disorders, and respiratory            
diease.                                                                         
CARCINOGENICITY:                                                                
IARC: No                                                                        
 
NTP:  No                                                                        
OSHA: No                                                                        
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY:                                                          
Toluene may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test                
results with laboratory animals. Case studies show that prolonged               
intentional abuse of toluene during pregnancy can cause birth defects           
in humans.                                                                      
TARGET ORGANS:                                                                  
Prolonged or repeated overexposure may cause eye, skin, respiratory             
system, central nervous system, liver, and kidney damage.

components.                                                                     
Toluene - Acute:                                                                
Toluene is a central nervous system depressant and skin and mucous              
membrane irritant. Severe dermatitis may result from its drying and             
defatting action. Toluene is an aspiration hazard causing chemical              
pneumonitis.                                                                    
Toluene - Chronic:                                                              
Toluene can cause cardiac sensitization. It is toxic to the kidney,             
liver can cause effects on the blood system such as increased clotting          
time.                                                                           
Toluene may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test                
results with laboratory animals. Case studies show that prolonged               
intentional abuse of toluene during pregnancy can cause birth defects
