<br /> Molecular Weight 9215
<br /> 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 /> SECTION 4. FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA LOWER UPPER
<br /> Flash Paint and MethodAutoignition Temp Flammability Ltmtts In Air
<br /> 40-F(4'C) CC -4896'F 480' %.b%.by Volume 127 71
<br /> EXTINGUI5HING MEDIA Carbon dioxide,dry chemical,alcohol foam Do not use a solid stream of water because the stream
<br /> will scatter and spread the fire Use water spray W cool tankslcontamers that are exposed to fire and to disperse vapors
<br /> * This OSHA class IB flammable liquid is a dangerous fire hazard It is 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-FTGHTING PROCEDURES Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece
<br /> operated in a positive-pressure made when fighting fires involving toluene
<br /> SECTION 5 REACTIVITY DATA
<br /> CHEMICAL INCOMPA FIBIIITIES Toluene is stable inclosed containers at room temperature under normal storage and
<br /> hand hog conditions It docs not undergo hazardous polymenzdtion This material is incompatible with strong oxidizing
<br /> agents,dinitrogen tenwxide,silver perchlorate, tetranitromethane, and uranium hexafluonde 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 /> compounds that are dangerously explosive
<br /> CONDITIONS TO AVOM Avoid exposure to sparks,open flame,hot surfaces,and all sources of heat and igniuon Toluene
<br /> will attack some forms of plastics,ribber, and coatings Thermal decomposition or burning produces carbon dioxide and/or
<br /> carbon monoxide
