Remove contaminated clothing - launder before reuse. Wash gently and thoroughly the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Get medical attention if redness or irritation occurs.
Protection of first-aiders
No action shal be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Notes to physician
This product contains materials that may cause severe pneumonitis if aspirated. If ingestion has occurred less than 2 hours earlier, carry out careful gastric lavage; use endotracheal cuff if available, to prevent aspiration. Observe patient for respiratory difficulty from aspiration pneumonitis. Give artificial resuscitation and appropriate chemotherapy if respiration is depressed. Isopropanol: Metabolism of isopropanol forms acetone, which may be detected in the urine and expired air. In contrast to diabetic acidosis, acidosis wil occur in the absence of hyperglycemia. Haemodialysis should be considered in severe, acute intoxications. Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure to this product include neurological and cardiovascular disorders, diseases of the skin, eyes or respiratory tract, preexisting liver and kidney disorders.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
(non-polar/water-immiscible). CAUTION: DO NOT use water jet. This product has a low flash point, use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. Use water fog, foam dry chemical or Carbon Dioxide to extinguish flames.
AUTO-IGNITION TEMP. Date of issue: October, 2013. www.NEMCO.ca Emergency Number: 1-204-788-1030 CANUTEC : 1-613-996-6666 NEMCO RESOURCES LTD. Page 3 of 8 Fuel Injector Cleaner 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABILITY CLASS(WHMIS) Flammable limits
Solvent: LEL: 0.8%, UEL: 5.6% IPA: LEL:2%, UEL: 12%
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers or structures. Use water spray to disperse
PROCEDURES
vapours; reignition is possible. Isolate materials that are not involved in the fire and protect personnel. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until wel after the fire is out. Notes: Flammable/combustible liquid. If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (0.5 mile) in al directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (0.5 mile) in al directions. DO NOT extinguish a leaking gas flame unless leak can be stopped. Shut off fuel to fire if it is possible to do so without hazard. If this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn out under control ed conditions. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discolouration of tank due to fire. Cool containing vessels with water spray in order to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion. Avoid flushing spil ed material into sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) wil be required if approaching the fire from downwind, or to enter enclosed areas or buildings. RISK OF EXPLOSION
Do not cut, weld, heat, or dril empty containers. Vapours are heavier than air and may travel considerable distance to sources of ignition and flash back Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Fire Fighting Protective
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Equipment Fire Extinguishing Media
Alcohol resistant foam. Water fog. Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical media for smal fires. If only water is available, use it in the form of a fog. This material may produce a floating fire hazard in extreme fire conditions. Do not use high volume water jet.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill
Eliminate al sources of ignition such as flares, flames (including pilot lights), and electrical sparks. Ventilate the area. Wear proper protective equipment (Section 8). Avoid breathing vapors. Collect with an inert absorbant and dispose of properly.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING Handling Practices
Ground and bond equipment and containers to prevent a static charge buildup. Use spark-resistant tools and avoid "splash-fil ing" of containers. Use normal "good" industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Containers exposed to heat may be under internal pressure. These should be cooled and careful y vented before opening. A face shield and apron should be worn. Vent container frequently, and more often in warm weather, to relieve pressure. Enforce NO SMOKING rules in area of use. Electrostatic charges may be generated during pumping. Electrostatic discharge may cause fire. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) al equipment. Restrict line velocity during pumping in order to avoid generation of electrostatic discharge (<= 10 m/sec).

Use only with adequate ventilation and avoid breathing vapours or mists. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly before re-use. Do not use cutting or welding torches on empty drums that contained this material/product. Store wiping rags and similar material in metal cans with tight fitting lids.
Ventilation Requirements Storage Requirements
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Keep containers closed. Do not expose sealed containers to temperatures above 40° C. Protect from direct sunlight. Protect against physical damage. Isopropanol can form unstable peroxides on prolonged exposure to air and heat.
Special Materials to be Used
Materials of construction for storing the product include: mild steel or stainless
steel. Equipment for storage, handling or transportation should NOT be made of:
Packaging or Containers
plastics or neoprene. At elevated temperatures: Aluminum and its al oys should
not be used in equipment for storage, handling or transportation. Attacks some types of rubber, plastics and coatings. Confirm suitability of any material before using
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
No specific guidelines available. Do not use compressed oxygen in hydrocarbon atmospheres. A NIOSH/MSHA-approved air-purifying respirator equipped with organic vapour cartridges for concentrations up to 1 000 ppm. An air-supplied respirator if concentrations are higher or unknown. Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) value: 2 000 ppm. The purpose of establishing an IDLH value is to ensure that the worker can escape from a given contaminated environment in the event of failure of the most protective respiratory equipment. In the event of failure of respiratory protective equipment, every effort should be made to exit immediately. If while wearing a respiratory protection, you can smel , taste or otherwise detect anything unusual, or in the case of a ful facepiece respirator you experience eye irritation, leave the area immediately. Check to make sure the respirator to face seal is stil good. If it is, replace the filter, cartridge or canister. If the seal is no longer good, you may need a new respirator.
Engineering controls
Local exhaust ventilation required. Ventilation should be explosion proof. Make up air should be supplied to balance air that is removed by local or general exhaust ventilation. Ventilate low lying areas such as sumps or pits where dense vapours may col ect. For personnel entry into confined spaces (i.e. bulk storage tanks) a proper procedure must be fol owed. It must include consideration of, among other things, ventilation, testing of tank atmosphere, provision and maintenance of SCBA, and emergency rescue. Use the "buddy" system. The second person should be in view and trained and equipped to execute a rescue.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION
Gloves and protective clothing made from butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, viton, neoprene, PVC should be impervious under conditions of use. Attacks some types of rubber, plastics and coatings. Prior to use, user should confirm impermeability
SKIN/HAND PROTECTION
Safety glasses with side shields. Use ful face-shield or chemical safety goggles when there is potential for contact. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this material

Wear an impermeable apron and boots. Locate safety shower and eyewash
Equipment:
station close to chemical handling area. Take al precautions to avoid personal
contact. Clothing and footwear that is fire retardant and dissipates static electrical charges should be worn when handling flammable materials. Natural fibers (cotton, wool, leather and linen) should be selected in favour of synthetic materials (rayon, nylon and polyester).
