Safety data sheet

Klean-Strip Acetone SDS

W. M. Barr's sheet for Klean-Strip Acetone lists three hazard classes, among them flammable liquids, Category 2, so it is a hazardous chemical as 29 CFR 1910.1200(c) defines it. The HazCom program, label, sheet and training paragraphs follow ((e)(1), (f)(6), (g)(8) and (h)(1)), unless a scope paragraph of (b) takes the product out.

Klean-Strip Acetone: facts read in the safety data sheet, by section
Section 2, hazards

Section 2 lists flammable liquids Category 2, serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2, and specific target organ toxicity single exposure Category 3.

Signal word: Danger. Pictograms: Flame (GHS02), Exclamation Mark (GHS07).

Hazard statements: H225, H319, H335, H336. Their text, in English and Spanish, is on the label below.

Section 3, ingredients
  • Acetone (CAS 67-64-1) at 100 %.
Section 4, first aid
  • Skin: begin washing at once with large amounts of water and mild soap while removing contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
  • Eyes: flush with water at once, remove any contact lens and keep flushing for at least 15 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
  • Inhaled: move to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing and oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get immediate medical attention.
  • Swallowed: do not induce vomiting. Call a physician, hospital emergency room or poison control center at once.
Section 5, fire fighting
  • Use carbon dioxide, dry powder or alcohol-resistant foam.
  • Extremely flammable: vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors, and the liquid forms or collects static electricity that may cause fire or explosion.
  • Acetone and water solutions with more than 2.5 % acetone have flash points, and above 8 % acetone by weight a closed container is within the flammable range and can cause fire or explosion if ignited.
  • The sheet gives an autoignition point of 869.00 °F, flammable limits of 2.5 % and 13.0 %, and NFPA class IB.
Section 7, handling and storage
  • Keep the container tightly closed when not in use, in a cool, dry place, away from heat, flame, furnaces, pilot lights and stoves.
  • Do not use in small enclosed spaces such as basements and bathrooms: vapors can accumulate and explode if ignited.
  • Use the product within one year of purchase, and do not reuse the container.
Section 8, exposure limits
  • OSHA PEL for acetone: 1000 ppm (TWA)
Section 8, protection

Respiratory protection: For use in areas with inadequate ventilation or fresh air, wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator for organic solvent vapors. A dust mask gives no protection against vapors.

  • Splash goggles.
  • Gloves with as much resistance to the ingredients as possible; nitrile rubber, natural rubber and neoprene may protect.

The sheet names eyewash equipment.

Section 9, flash point0.00 °F, Tag closed cup
Section 9, other properties
  • Clear colorless liquid with a characteristic, sweet and pungent ketone odor.
  • Boiling point 133.00 °F. Vapor pressure 213 mm Hg at 77.0 °F. Specific gravity 0.789 (6.572 lb/gal at 77.0 °F). Completely soluble in water.
Section 10, what to avoid
  • Avoid contact with acids, aldehydes, alkalies, amines, ammonia, oxidizing and reducing agents, and chlorine compounds.
  • May form explosive mixtures with chromic anhydride, chromyl alcohol, hexachloromelamine, hydrogen peroxide, permonosulfuric acid, potassium tertbutoxide and thioglycol.
Section 14, transportUN1090, Acetone, hazard class 3, packing group II. The shipper may apply the exceptions the sheet names, such as limited quantity or consumer commodity, under 49 CFR.

What this product triggers under OSHA

The sheet says the product is regulated by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. The standard does not apply to a consumer product the employer shows is used as its maker intended, at no more than consumer exposure. (29 CFR 1910.1200(b)(6)(ix), (b)(5)(v))

Section 2 lists a Category 2 flammable liquid: the electrical connection of nozzle and container applies when you dispense it in general industry; the construction paragraph names Category 1, 2 and 3. (29 CFR 1910.106(e)(6)(ii); 1926.152(e)(2))

Section 8 mentions a respirator: the employer provides one when necessary to protect health and keeps a respiratory protection program. (29 CFR 1910.134(a)(2); 1926.103)

Section 8 lists OSHA PELs for acetone; the tables are 1910.1000 and, in construction, Table 1 of 1926.55. (29 CFR 1910.1000; 1926.55)

A classified product brings a written program with its chemical list, training, an accessible sheet and workplace labels. (29 CFR 1910.1200(c), (e)(1), (f)(6), (g)(8), (h)(1); 1926.59)

Finding the Klean-Strip Acetone sheet is the easy part

Keeping every sheet read, current and ready for an inspector is the work that never ends. HazComFast does it with your crew: the AI extracts each sheet, and every reading leaves a proof.

Extraction: the AI reads every sheet

Scanned, long or in Spanish, it reads

Drop in the Klean-Strip Acetone sheet, scanned or not, in English or Spanish. HazComFast reads every page, with progress shown page by page, so a 32-page sheet gets read to the last page.

Every section a foreman needs

Composition, spill response, storage, physical properties, stability and toxicology land on the product page with their source, so the sections a foreman actually needs aren't buried in a PDF.

The AI proposes, a person signs off

Each hazard shows where it came from: extracted from the sheet, or confirmed by a named person on a date. Confidence is measured against the text of the sheet, and below a floor every field is checked by hand before it saves.

A pictogram is never guessed

A pictogram only goes on your label if it's actually on the sheet or follows from its H-codes. H225 on the sheet means GHS02 and DANGER on the label, derived from OSHA's Appendix C.

Checked against 200 real sheets

Every change to the AI is checked against a reference set of 200 real SDSs before it ships. A field it isn't sure about is highlighted for you to check, and the inventory flags products whose extraction hasn't been validated yet.

Proof of reading, without the chasing

Nobody has to remember to ask

Add a hazardous product to a site and every worker there gets one notice with a 7-day due date. A reminder follows at day 3 and an escalation at day 7.

“I read it” can't be a reflex tap

The confirm button stays grey until the worker has scrolled through first aid or to the last page of the PDF and has spent 15 seconds there. The record keeps how long and how far.

A proof of reading the worker keeps

The worker ticks an attestation, and the record keeps which SDS version they read, the server time and the device. They can download their own PDF of it.

A new sheet means a new reading

When a manufacturer updates a sheet and the hazards change, everyone who confirmed the old one is asked to read the new one. Each confirmation keeps which version they read, for which jobsite.

Who read what, in one console

See who hasn't read what, nudge everyone overdue in one click, and export last month's confirmations for one jobsite, each with the SDS version they read.

The reading joins the training file

Each confirmed reading also lands in the worker's training file as a HazCom reading record, so your training records and your SDS records tell the same story.

From the sheet to the label

A label that can't go out empty

A label with five pictograms keeps all five, because the format switches. A label with no hazard information won't print. When the sheet changes, you get a relabeling task with its six-month deadline.

English and Spanish, side by side

Hazard and precautionary statements show in English and Spanish on every product page. A Spanish sheet that says PELIGRO is recorded as DANGER, and the original file stays attached as you received it.

Every print on record

Every print run is logged with exactly what went on the labels. When a hazard changes, the relabel task can only be closed by a print made after the change.

In the field, on the phone

Scan the drum

Scan the QR code on a drum and the page shows the maker and the CAS number under the title, so you know you hold the right one. A drum taken out of inventory still opens its SDS, marked as removed.

Search inside the sheet

Type “eye contact” and you land on first aid. Pinch to zoom on the small print.

Still there with no signal

Offline, the worker opens the sheet itself, with first aid and what to do in a spill. “Available offline” only shows when the PDF is on the phone.

When the inspector asks

The binder, in one click

One click gives you the jobsite's SDS binder, with Klean-Strip Acetone in it, as a ZIP with a CSV index, and a dated CSV or PDF of who confirmed reading what. That is what you hand an inspector or a GC.

No expired-sheet myth

HazComFast never tells you a sheet has expired, because OSHA doesn't set an expiration date. You choose your own review interval, and the app labels it as your internal policy.

The chemical list behind it

Bring your spreadsheet

Imported products get the same pictograms as ones entered by hand, and importing the same file twice doesn't duplicate anything.

Each product, at every site

Each product page shows every site it's stored at with quantities, and warns you if something incompatible is stored at the same site.

A program that stays true

The chemical list in your HazCom program is built from each jobsite's inventory. Remove a product and the program tells you the list is out of date, with a button to rebuild it.

Start with the free SDS Binder Kit. It works with nothing but a printer.

Free to use as well: the chemical inventory template and the SDS QR code generator. The software side: the chemical inventory in HazComFast.

Questions about Klean-Strip Acetone

Where do I get the SDS for Klean-Strip Acetone?

From W. M. Barr. The button at the top of this page opens its own copy (many product codes, Revision Jun 26, 2019). It covers Klean-Strip Acetone in the product codes listed (the 5-gallon and 55-gallon sizes have their own links on the maker's page).

Is Klean-Strip Acetone a hazardous chemical under OSHA?

Yes: Section 2 lists three hazard classes, among them flammable liquids, Category 2 (29 CFR 1910.1200(c)). Its consumer wording matters (1910.1200(b)(6)(ix)).
