FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires containing or around this product. Shut off all sources of ignition, if possible. Keep exposed containers cool with water spray to prevent rupture. Evacuate all non-trained personnel. Wear full protective clothing, including helmet. Ventilate area. Contain spill and dike, if possible. For leaks or spills water spray can be used to disperse any flammable vapors that may become concentrated or form in poorly ventilated areas and to protect personnel attempting to stop the leak. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Firefighters should wear SCBA's in a positive pressure mode with full face shield. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances and accumulate in low areas or spread along ground from handling site. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near this product because even just residue can ignite explosively. SECTION FIVE - REACTIVITY DATA STABILITY: Stable, avoid open flames, welding arcs or other high temperature sources which induce thermal decomposition, direct sunlight. Page 1 of 4 PRODUCT NAME: MECHANICS BRAND CHLORINATED BRAKE PARTS CLEANER PRODUCT CODE: 50276MB SECTION FIVE - REACTIVITY DATA (continued) INCOMPATIBILITY: Avoid contact with water, reactive metals such as aluminum, magnesium, lithium, sodium potassium, open flame, welding arcs, resistance heaters, etc., which can result in thermal decomposition releasing hydrogen chloride and small amounts of phosgene and chlorine gas, strong oxidizing agents and strong alkalis. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Hydrogen chloride, phosgene and chlorine gas. Combustion can yield Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur SECTION SIX- HEALTH HAZARD DATA EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE EYE CONTACT: Contact may cause stinging, redness, and swelling. May cause pain. May cause slight transient (temporary) irritation. Vapors may irritate eyes. SKIN CONTACT: Contact may cause burning and redness of the skin. Short single exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause severe skin irritation, even a burn. Repeated contact may cause drying and flaking of skin. May cause allergic skin reaction in susceptible individuals. SKIN ABSORPTION: A single prolonged skin exposure is not likely to result in harmful amounts. INGESTION: ASPIRATION HAZARD. Single dose oral toxicity is low. Slightly confirmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic and tumorigenic data. Moderately toxic by ingestion, subcutaneous, and intraperitoneal routes. Aspiration of the material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal. If aspirated, it may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other body systems. INHALATION: Mildly toxic by inhalation. Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, central nervous system effects including dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and possibly unconsciousness, and even death. Minimal anesthetic or narcotic effects may be seen in the range of 200 ppm for tetrachloroethylene. Progressively higher levels of concentrations can cause unconsciousness and death. These high levels may also cause cardiac arrythmias (irregular heartbeats). In confined or poorly ventilated areas, vapors which readily accumulate can cause unconsciousness and death. Alcohol consumed before or after exposure may increase adverse effects. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES EYE CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of waterfor 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower eyelids. If irritation persists get medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: Thoroughly wash exposed area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder it before reuse. Should any irritation persist, get medical attention. INHALATION: If affected, remove individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Keep person warm and quiet. Get medical attention. INGESTION: Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure as an aerosol but, if swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Because rapid absorption may occur through lungs if aspirated and cause systemic effects, the decision of whether to induce vomiting or not should be made by an attending physician. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the stomach. If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. Exposure may increase "myocardial irritability". Do not administer sympathomimetic drugs unless absolutely necessary. No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient. SECTION SEVEN-ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Ventilate area-especially low places where heavy vapors might collect. Extinguish all ignition sources. For small spills/leaks mop, wipe, or soak up on an inorganic material immediately. Remove to vent hood or outside. For large spills/leaks evacuate area contain spill (dike area) and transfer contained liquid to a DOT approved container for disposal. Keep out of water supply. Refer to other sections of this MSDS for information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personnel protective equipment.

Any disposal practice must be in compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Do not dump into sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water. SECTION EIGHT-HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS Store in tightly sealed containers. Keep away from heat, sparks & open flame. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Do not breathe vapor, mist or gas. Do not store or transfer to an unmarked container. Do not throw empty containers in trash compactor. Do not store in direct sun. Store containers below 120°F. Read label before using. SECTION NINE - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE): If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see Section two), a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your safety equipment supplier). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure. VENTILATION: Control airborne concentrations below the exposure limits in section two. Use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations. Lethal concentrations may exist in areas with poor ventilation. PROTECTIVE GLOVES: For brief contact, no precautions should be needed. When prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur, use protective gloves such as; polyvinyl alcohol or polyethylene. EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; OSHA regulations also permit other type of safety glasses (consult your safety equipment supplier) OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, use protective clothing impervious to this product. Selection of specific items such as gloves, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on operation.
