Section III: Hazards Identifications
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
A green corrosive liquid with a sweet odor. Product is corrosive to eyes and may cause
severe eye damage and possible burns. May cause severe skin and respiratory irritation.
May be fatal if swallowed. For large spills, emergency responders should wear
impervious coveralls, boots, gloves, and respiratory protection in poorly ventilated areas.
Absorb spill with inert material or transfer to a suitable container for reuse or disposal.
See section 3,5,6, and 10.
Potential Health Effects and Primary Routes of Entry:
Inhalation: Irritation of mucous membranes can be caused by solvent vapors or mists
of products.
Skin: Skin contact may cause severe irritation.
Eyes: Corrosive. Severe eye damage can result from direct contact.
Ingestion: May be fatal. Burning pain in the mouth, throat, abdomen, severe swelling
of the larynx, skeletal muscle paralysis affecting the ability to breathe, circulatory shock,
convulsions.
Chronic Effects/ Carcinogenicity: None of the components in this product at
concentrations of 0.1% or greater are listed by the NTP, IARC or OSHA as carcinogens.
Section IV: First Aid
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 20 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeballs to ensure thorough
rinsing.
Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Launder clothing before
reuse.
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air, administer artificial respiration if not breathing.
Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Trained person should give oxygen if breathing is
difficult. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, drink large quantities of water, do not induce vomiting and
seek immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical attention immediately.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure: None known
Section V: Fire and Explosion Data
Flash Point: > 200 deg F. Non-combustible

Flammable Limits: Not applicable
Extinguishing Media: If this product is involved in a fire, use dry chemical,
alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide type extinguishers. Keep containers cool with water
spray to prevent container rupturing.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: During a fire, explosive mixtures can form with air.
Combustion products are toxic. Solvent vapors can travel to an ignition source and flash
back.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Exposed firefighters should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved
self-contained breathing apparatuses under positive pressure and chemical-resistant
protective equipment. Refer to section 8 for further information.
Section VI: Accidental Release Measures
SMALL SPILL: Cleanup personnel should wear appropriate equipment (See
Section 8). Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Stop and control leak. Small
spills can be diluted with plenty of water and mopped up or absorbed with an inert
absorbent material. Mop spill area several times with water. Dispose of waste properly
(See Section 13).
LARGE SPILL: Untrained persons and those not wearing proper protective
equipment should be excluded from the spill area until cleanup is complete. Trained
cleanup personnel should wear chemical splash goggles and a face shield, rubber boots,
rubber gloves, and impervious clothing. Respiratory protection could be required for
controlling large spills in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Stop and control leak and
keep material out of sewers and watercourses by diking or impounding with sand or
absorbent materials. Flush spill area with plenty of water. All cleanup residues should
be collected in a non-metallic labeled container for disposal (See Section 13).
Contact CHEMTREC (800-424-9300) for technical advice and assistance relating to
chemical emergencies involving this product.
Section VII: Handling and Storage
Handling: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid breathing mist or vapor.
Use with adequate ventilation. Do not taste or swallow. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Do not mix with strong
oxidizers or reducing agents.
Storage: Keep containers in well ventilated area and closed when not in use. Keep away
from heat and flame. Keep product in original container. For institutional use only.
Keep this and all chemicals out of reach of children.

Section VIII: Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection: Not normally required in well-ventilated area. Use NIOSH
approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge if there is a reasonable
possibility for harmful exposure to vapors or mists. Protection by air purifying
respirators is limited. Use NIOSH approved self-contained apparatus made for
emergencies or entry into unknown concentrations or immediately dangerous to life or
health conditions. All personal respiratory protection equipment should be used in
accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust ventilation) to
maintain vapor mist concentrations below exposure limits.
Protective Gloves: Use chemical-resistant rubber gloves to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Avoid eye contact. Chemical splash goggles are recommended
whenever eye contact may occur. Provide an ANSI-approved eye wash station in the
work area.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Use chemical-resistant apron or other
impervious clothing, and rubber boots if necessary, to avoid contaminating regular
clothing and shoes and to prevent skin contact.

Alkyl dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride
Acute Oral LD 50: Undetermined
Acute Dermal: Undetermined
Primary Skin: Corrosive
