<br /> ,gpneamnce 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 /> 407(4'C) CC 896'F(480' %by Volume I.27 7.1
<br /> EX7INGUIS ING 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 to cool tanksicontainers that arc exposed to fire and to disperse vapors.
<br /> UNUSUAL FIRFJF SIQN HAZARDS: Tnis OSHA class IB flammable liquid is a dangerous fine ham-d.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 /> SEAL.FIREFIGHTING PROCE 1IRES: Fire fighters shculd wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full faccpiece
<br /> operated in a positive-pressure mode when fighting fires involving toluene.
<br /> SECTION 5. REACTIVITY DATA
<br /> CLIEM ICAL INCOM ]TIES: Toluene is stable in closed containers at room temperature under normal storage and
<br /> handling conditions. It does not undergo hazardous polymerization. This material is incompatible with strong oxidizing
<br /> agents,dinitrogen tetraoxide,silver perchlorate,tetranitrorttethane,and uranium hexafluoride. Contact with these ma erials
<br /> - may cause fire or explosion. Nitric acid and toluene,especially in the presence of sulfuric acid,will produce nitrated
<br /> comp,,unds that are dangerously explosive.
<br /> CONMMONS TO AVOID: Avoid exposure to sparks,open flame,hot surfaces,and all sources of heat and ignition. Toluene
<br /> will attack some forms of plastics,rubber,and coatings. Thermal decomposition or burning produces carbon dioxide and/or
<br /> carbon monoxide.
