SECTION 3 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION                                               
 
NOTE:                                                                           
Repeated and prolonged overexposure to the mixture of solvent(s)                
listed in Section 2 can result in systemic effects including                    
permanent brain, nervous system, liver, and kidney damage.                      
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating & inhaling the                 
contents may be harmful or fatal.                                               
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:                                                             
Product is a beige, medium viscosity mastic.                                    
DANGER: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, VAPOR HARMFUL. CONTAINS TOLUENE AND                
HEXANE. Vapors can cause flash fire. Vapors can ignite explosively.             
Prevent buildup of vapors by opening all windows and doors to create            
cross-ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Do not           
smoke. Turn off stoves, heaters and sparking electronic motors. Keep            
container tightly closed when not in use. Avoid prolonged breathing of          
vapors. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.                                      
ROUTES OF ENTRY:                                                                
Ingestion:     Yes                                                              
Inhalation:    Yes                                                              
Skin:          Yes                                                              
Eye:           Yes                                                              
INHALATION:                                                                     
Avoid breathing vapor or mists.                                                 
May cause headaches and dizziness.                                              
High vapor concentrations are irritating to the nose, throat and                
lungs and can cause systemic effects.                                           
Vapors can readily accumulate in confined or poorly ventilated areas.           
INGESTION:                                                                      
Ingestion is not a probable route of exposure. Harmful if swallowed.            
SKIN:                                                                           
May be harmful if absorbed through skin, may produce kidney, liver and          
central nervous system damage.                                                  
A single exposure is not likely to result in the material                       
being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.                             
EYE:                                                                            
Substance may cause severe eye irritation.                                      
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:                                      
Preexisting neurological conditions, skin disorders, and respiratory            
diease.                                                                         
CARCINOGENICITY:                                                                
IARC: No                                                                        
 
NTP:  No                                                                        
OSHA: No                                                                        
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY:                                                          
Toluene may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test                
results with laboratory animals. Case studies show that prolonged               
intentional abuse of toluene during pregnancy can cause birth defects           
in humans.                                                                      
TARGET ORGANS:                                                                  
Prolonged or repeated overexposure may cause eye, skin, respiratory             
system, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, liver and            
kidney damage.                                                                  
 
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES                                                  
 
Epinepherine and other sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac               
arrhythmias (irregular beating) in persons exposed to high                      
concentrations of hexane (e.g. in enclosed spaces or with deliberate            
abuse). If used, monitor heart action closely. Consider use of other            
drugs with less arrhythmogenic potential.                                       
INHALATION:                                                                     
Remove to fresh air. If difficulty persists seek medical attention.             
INGESTION:                                                                      
Call poison control center immediately.  Follow their specific                  
instructions. Do not induce vomiting.                                           
SKIN:                                                                           
Wash with soap and water.  Contact a physician if irritation develops           
or persists.                                                                    
EYE:                                                                            
Hold eyelids apart and flush with plenty of water for at least 15               
minutes. Seek medical attention.

SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION                                          
 
Hexane - Acute:                                                                 
Ingestion of hexane can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and               
diarrhea. Hexane can irritate the skin and the eyes. Acutely, the most          
common toxic effects are central nervous system depression and                  
chemical pneumonitis resulting from aspiration into the lungs                   
following ingestion.                                                            
Hexane - Chronic:                                                               
Dermal irritation and central nervous system depression accompanied by          
peripheral nervous system damage (polyneuropathy) are common traits of          
sustained overexposure.                                                         
Toluene - Acute:                                                                
Toluene is a central nervous system depressant and skin and mucous              
membrane irritant. Severe dermatitis may result from its drying and             
defatting action. Toluene is an aspiration hazard causing chemical              
pneumonitis.                                                                    
Toluene - Chronic:                                                              
Toluene can cause cardiac sensitization. It is toxic to the kidney,             
liver can cause effects on the blood system such as increased clotting          
time.                                                                           
Toluene may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test                
results with laboratory animals. Case studies show that prolonged               
intentional abuse of toluene during pregnancy can cause birth defects           
in humans.
