==============================================================

SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA

===============================================================

Conditions of flammability: Combustible. Must be preheated somewhat for ignition to occur. Vapors can form explosive moisture in air.

Means of extinction: Dry chemical (preferred), carbon dioxide or foam. Fire Fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Sensitivity to mechanical impact/static discharge: Static spark may cause a fire or explosion

Flash point (Method): 48 Deg. C

Upper/Lower flammable limits (% by volume): N/A

Auto ignition temperature: N/A

Hazardous combustion products: Combustion yields carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, various hydrocarbons and possibly oxides of sulfur and nitrogen.

===============================================================

SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA

===============================================================

Stability: Stable at normal temperatures and pressures. Container is pressurized and may explode if heated.

Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizing agents.

Conditions of reactivity: Hazardous polymerization does not occur. Avoid heat, sparks and flame.

Hazardous decomposition products: See "Hazardous combustion products".

SECTION VI - TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

===============================================================

***Routes of exposure and acute effects***

LD50 of material: N/A

LC50 of material: N/A

Exposure limit: ACGIH-TLV-TWA: 5,000 ppm (o, 000 mg/m 3) for carbon dioxide

Inhalation: Vapors are moderately irritating to nose, throat and respiratory tract. High concentrations may cause central nervous system depression, characterized by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting, abdominal pain and in coordination. Severe

XL 240 (XL101)

Over exposures may lead to coma and possible death due to respiratory failure. In rare cases exposure may cause sensitization of heart muscles, causing disorders of heart rhythm or heart failure. Exposure to extremely high concentrations of carbon dioxide can cause asphyxiation by displacing oxygen from the atmosphere.

Skin: Liquid is moderately irritating. May cause drying, defatting and cracking of skin.

Eyes: Liquid is moderately irritating.

Ingestion: Danger! Do not ingest! Aspiration of material into lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May cause burning sensation in mouth and throat, irritation of the digestive tract, possibly nausea, vomiting, and effects similar to inhalation.

Chronic effects: Carcinogenicity: Not listed as a carcinogen by IARC or ACGIH-TLV. Mutagenicity, teratogenicity, reproductive effects; N/A

Sensitization to material: See inhalation. No evidence of skin of respiratory sensitization.

Synergistic materials: N/A

===============================================================

SECTION VII - FIRST AID

===============================================================

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If breathing stopped, give artificial respiration. Call a physician immediately.

Skin: Wash affected area with mild soap and water, after removing contaminated clothing. If irritation persists, call a physician.

Eyes: Flush with lukewarm running water for 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Call a physician immediately.

Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to prevent aspiration; afterwards, rinse out mouth with small amounts of liquid until oily taste is gone. Call a physician immediately.

=============================================================

SECTION VIII - PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

=============================================================

Spill, leak or release: Eliminate all sources of ignition. Wear required personal protective equipment. Prevent spills from entering watercourses or sewers. Soak up with inert absorbent such as sand or vermiculite, and then collect with any contaminated earth in container for disposal.

Waste disposal: Do not dispose of wastes in local sewers or with normal refuse. Material may be incinerated or delivered to a waste treatment/disposal facility, if in accordance with federal, provincial and local regulations regarding disposal.

***PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT***

Respiratory protection: Wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirator

XL 240 (XL101)

Equipped with an organic vapor cartridge for concentrations up to 5,000 ppm of carbon dioxide. Use an air-supplied respirator for higher or unknown concentrations.

Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation required. Use spark-proof equipment.

Protective gloves: Impermeable gloves such as neoprene.

Eye protection: Chemical safety goggles.

Other protective equipment: Overalls, impermeable apron and boots.

***STORAGE AND HANDLING***

Handling procedures and equipment: Ground and bond equipment when pouring. Use spark resistant tools. Avoid skin or eye contact. Avoid breathing vapors. Keep containers closed when not in use.

Storage requirements: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizing agents.
