=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL,RAT, LD50: 12,600 MG/KG
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: DUE TO LOW VAPOR PRESSURE,
    INHALATION OF THE VAPORS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE IS UNLIKELY.
    INHALATION OF MIST MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT.
    INGESTION: LOW TOXICITY. MAY CAUSE NAUSEA , HEADACHE, DIARRHEA.
    SKIN CONTACT: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. EYE CONTACT: MAY CAUSE
    IRRITATION. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: MAY CAUSE KIDNEY INJURY.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:GLYCERIN: NTP CARCINOGEN: KNOWN: NO;
    ANTICIPATED: NO. IARC CATEGORY: NONE.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALTION: IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT.
    INGESTION: NAUSEA, HEADACHE, DIARRHEA. SKIN CONTACT: IRRITATION.
    EYE CONTACT: IRRITATION. CHRONIC: KIDNEY INJURY.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS OR EYE PROBLEMS OR IMPAIRED LIVER OR KIDNEY FUNCTION MAY
    BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR
    ANY BREATHING DIFFICULTY. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING IMMEDIATELY AS
    DIRECTED BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
    UNCONSC IOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN CONTACT: FLUSH 
    WITH  WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES.
    WASH CLOTHING AND THOROUGHLY CLEAN SHOES BEFORE REUSE. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTIO N IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS. EYE CONTACT: FLUSH WITH WATER
    FOR 15 MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET
    MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=199.C, 390.2F
Autoignition Temp:=370.C, 698.F
Extinguishing Media:USE MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE. WATER
    SPRAY MAY BE USED TO EXTINGUISH SURROUNDING FIRE AND COOL EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS. WATER SPRAY WILL ALSO REDUCE FUME AND IRRITANT GASES.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
    FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE
    PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SLIGHT FIRE HAZARD WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT
    OR FLAME. ABOVE FLASH POINT, VAPOR-AIR MIXTURES ARE EXPLOSIVE
    WITHIN FLAMMABLE LIMITS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR
    APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. CONTAIN AND RECOVER
    LIQUID WHEN POSSIBLE. COLLECT LIQUID IN AN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER OR
    ABSORB WITH AN INERT MATERIAL ( VERMICULITE, SAND, EARTH), AND
    PLACE IN A CHEMICAL WASTE CONTAINER. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE
    MATERIALS, SUCH AS SAW DUST. DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER;
    STORED IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED AREA. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL
    DAMAGE. ISOLATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE SUBSTANCES. CONTAINERS OF THIS
    MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY  SINCE THEY RETAIN PRODUCT
    RESIDUES; OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS LISTED FOR THE
    PRODUCT.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF EXPOSURE LIMITS EXCEEDED, WEAR NIOSH APPROVED
    PERSONAL RESPIRATOR. PLEASE NOTE THAT "N" FILTERS ARE NOT
    RECOMMENDED FOR THIS MATERIAL. FOR EMERGENCIES OR INSTANCES WHERE
    EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE NOT KNO WN, USE A FULL-FACEPIECE
    POSITIVE-PRESSURE, AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. WARNING: AIR-PURIFYING
    RESPIRATORS DO NOT PROTECT WORKERS IN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES.
Ventilation:LOCAL AND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST RECOMMENDED TO KEEP EXPOSURES
    BELOW EXPOSURE LIMITS. LOCALEXHAUST VENTILATION IS GENERALLY
    PREFERRED.
Protective Gloves:WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND CLEAN BODY-COVERING
    CLOTHING.
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR CLEAN BODY COVERING CLOTHING. MAINTAIN
    EYE WASH FOUNTAIN AND QUICK DRENCH FACILITIES IN WORK AREA.
