Revision Date: June 6, 2016
SECTION 1 — CHEMICAL PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION
PhenolFlinn Scientific, Inc. P.O. Box 219, Batavia, IL 60510 (800) 452-1261Chemtrec Emergency Phone Number: (800) 424-10108

DANGER SECTION 2 — HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Hazard class: Acute toxicity- oral, dermal, inhalation (Category 3). Toxic if swallowed, in contact with skin or if inhaled (H301+H311+H331). Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product (P270).
Hazard class: Skin corrosion (Category 1). Causes severe skin burns and eye damage (H314). Hazard class: Germ cell mutagenicity (Category 2). Suspected of causing genetic defects (H341). Obtain special instructions before use (P201). Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood (P202). Use personal protective equipment as required (P281). Hazard class: Specific target organ toxicity, repeated exposure (Category 2). May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (H373). Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product (P270). Contact with phenol may cause a severe blistering skin effect. Phenol in contact with more than 100 sq. in. of skin is absorbed so quickly that it may be fatal in 90 seconds. Avoid all body tissue contact. Readily absorbed through the skin. Pictograms
SECTION 3 — COMPOSITION, INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
SECTION 4 — FIRST AID MEASURES
Call a POISON CENTER or physician (P311).
If inhaled: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing (P304+P340). If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do so. Continue rinsing. If on skin: Remove phenol with isopropyl alcohol or undiluted polyethylene glycol, then wash continuously with SOAPY water for at least 15 minutes. Water alone will increase absorption. If swallowed: Do NOT give water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control at once. Water may enhance absorption. SECTION 5 — FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Class IIIA combustible solid.
Flash point: 79 °C Flammable limits: Lower: 1.8% Upper: 8.6% Autoignition Temperature: 715 °C Phenol, when heated, forms explosive mixtures with air. When heated to decomposition, may emit toxic fumes. In case of fire: Use a tri-class dry chemical fire extinguisher. If this product is involved in a fire carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide can be released.
NFPA Code
H-4
F-2 R-0 SECTION 6 — ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Remove all ignition sources and ventilate area. Sweep up (if liquid, contain spill with sand and absorbent material), place in sealed bag or container and dispose. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete. See Sections 8 and 13 for further information.
SECTION 7 — HANDLING AND STORAGE
