<br /> SECTION 2. INGREDIENTS AND HAZARDS % >; HAZARD DATkd
<br /> Toluene ca 100 8-hr TLV: 100 ppm,or
<br /> CH3 375 mg/m3-(Skin)**
<br /> Man,Inhalation,TCLo:
<br /> �'�/l' 100 ppm:Psychotropic***
<br /> --------------------
<br /> Current(1985-86)ACGIH TLV.The OSHA PEL is 200 ppm with an Rat,Oral,LD50:5000 mg/kg
<br /> acceptable ceiling concentration of 300 ppm and an acceptable Rat,Inhalation,LCLn:
<br /> maximum peak of 500 ppm/10 minutes. 4000 ppm/4 his.
<br /> •* Skin designation indicates that toluene can be absorbed through intact Rabbit,Skin,L1350: 14 gm/kg
<br /> skin and contribute to overall exposure.
<br /> AIR,- --------------------
<br /> Affects the mind. Human, Eye: 300 ppm

<br /> Ag arancr,and odor. Clear,colorless liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. The odor is detectable to most individuals in
<br /> the range of 10 to 15 ppm. Because olfactory fatigue occurs rapidly upon exposure to toluene,odor is not a good warning
<br /> property.
<br /> SECTION 4. FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA LOWER UIsPER:.
<br /> Flash Point and Method Autoignidon Temp. Flammability Limits In Air
<br /> 40-F(4-C) CC 896'F(480' %by Volume 1.27 7.1
<br /> EXTlNGUjSH1b!Q : Carbon dioxide,dry chemical,alcohol foam Do not use a solid stream of water because the stream
<br /> will scamr and spread the fire. Use water spray to cool tanks/containers that are exposed to fire and to disperse vapors.
<br /> 11N 1SUAL FIRE/EXPI.OSION HAZARDS: This OSHA class IB flammable liquid is a dangerous fire hazard.Itis a moderate fire
<br /> hazard when exposed to oxidizers, heat,sparks,or open flame. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a considerable
<br /> distance to an ignition source and flash back.
<br /> ,SPECIAL FIRE-F1f1HTING PRCICFDURFS: Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepicce
<br /> operated in a positive-pressure mode when fighting fires involving toluene.
<br /> SECTION 5. REACTIVITY DATA
<br /> CHEMICAL InCOMPA'FIBILITIES: Toluene is stable in closed containers at room temperature under normal storage and
<br /> handling conditions. It docs not undergo hazardous polymerization. This material is incompatible with strong oxidizing
<br /> agents,diniuogen tetraoxidc, silver perchlorate, tetranitrometnane, and uranium hexafluoride. Contact with these materials
<br /> may cause fire or explosion. Nitric acid and toluene, especially in the presence of sulfuric acid, will produce nitrated
<br /> i compounds that are dangerously explosive.
<br /> t L 'C V : Avoid exposure to sparks, open flame, hot surfaces,and all sources of heat and ignition. Toluene
<br /> %%U attack some forrru of plastics,rubber, and coatings. Thermal decomposition or burning produces carbon dioxide and/or
<br /> carbon monoxide.
