SECTION - 3 HAZARDS INFORMATION
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Skin contact /absorption, inhalation and eye contact
Target Organ Effects: None expected
IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Exposure may cause noticeable pain, and severe irritation.
SKIN: Exposure may cause severe skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure
may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, and drying and cracking.
Additional symptoms of skin contact may include allergic reaction. Skin absorption is
possible, but harmful effects are not expected from this route of exposure under normal
handling and use.
INHALATION: Solvent vapors or mist of products can cause irritation of mucous membrane.
INGESTION: May be fatal. Burning pain in mouth, throat, abdomen, severe swelling of
the larynx, skeletal muscle paralysis affecting the ability to breathe, circulatory shock,
convulsions.
REPRODUCTIVE / DEVELOPMENTAL INFORMATION: No Data
CARCINOGENIC INFORMATION: This material is not listed as a carcinogen by IARC,
NTP, or OSHA
LONG TERM EFFECTS: No Data
SECTION - 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye/Skin Contact: Immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Remove and wash
contaminated clothing before reuse. For eyes call physician. Get medical attention if
symptoms occur.
Inhalation: If symptoms develop, move victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Ingestion: If swallowed drink promptly, large quantity of egg whites, gelatin solution or
large quantities of water. Avoid alcohol. Call a physician immediately. Note to
Physician: Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage.
NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

SECTION - 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill: Remove ignition sources. Wear respirator. May be mopped up or flushed
away with water or absorbed on some absorbent material and incinerated.
Large Spill: Stop leak at the source and collect into a suitable container, then treat as
a small spill.
SECTION - 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since
emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard
precautions given in the data sheet must be observed.
Storage: Store in original container. Keep from freezing. Keep container closed when not in use.
SECTION - 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection: Chemical Splash goggle in compliance with OSHA regulations are
advised: however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Consult
your safety representative.
Skin Protection: Wear rubber or neoprene gloves (consult your safety equipment
supplier). To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protection: If good ventilation is maintained none is required. If
workplace exposure limits of product or any component are exceeded (see exposure
guidelines), NIOSH/OSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in the absence
of proper environmental control. OSHA relations also permit other NIOSH/OSHA
respirators (negative pressure type) under specific conditions (see your industrial
hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls: Provide sufficient mechanical (explosion proof) ventilation
(general and local exhaust) to maintain exposure below level of overexposure (from
known, suspected or apparent adverse effects).
