POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for Toxicological Information)
PRIMARY ROUTE(s) OF EXPOSURE: X Eye X Skin Contact X Skin Absorption
X Inhalation X Ingestion
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE
EYES: May cause severe eye irritation. Symptoms may include pain, tearing, redness, and clouding of the eye surface.
SKIN: May cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, rash and mild swelling.
INHALATION: High concentrations of vapor or mist may cause nose, throat, and respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms may
include coughing and a burning sensation in the nose and throat and a disagreeable metallic taste.

rash, and swelling.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: May aggravate pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory conditions.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids apart. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and
continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Do not put any medication in the victim's eyes unless instructed by a physician. Get
immediate medical attention.
SKIN: Flush thoroughly with plenty of water, then wash with soap and water. Remove saturated clothing. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists. Thoroughly wash (or discard) clothing and shoes before reuse.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen (by trained personnel
only). Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Drink large quantities of water. Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT AND METHOD: > 93掳C (200掳F)TCC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not applicable.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Normal products of combustion (carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) and nitrogen
oxides. Hydrogen and chlorine.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: At elevated temperatures (140 F/60 C) can react with common metals to form potentially
explosive hydrogen gas.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: This product is not flammable. As in any fire, MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear should be worn.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
See Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 3, Hazard Identification. Floors may be slippery. Use care to
avoid falling. Ventilate spill area. Contain and isolate spill. Keep non-essential personnel from entering spill area. Use mop and
absorbent to collect material for proper disposal. Use non-metallic implements for cleaning and collection. Rinse area with water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Follow label use directions. Do not mix with other chemicals unless instructed by label directions. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes and clothing. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove
contaminated clothing. Wash clothing and equipment before reuse.
STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use. Store away from incompatible materials. (See Section 10, Stability and
Reactivity).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
EYE: Where eye contact is possible, wear safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 approved).
SKIN: Where skin contact is possible, chemical-resistant clothing (e.g., gloves) should be worn.
RESPIRATORY: No respiratory protection is required if general room ventilation is adequate and airborne concentrations are

RIPTIDE II Foaming Shower Room Cleaner
kept below exposure limits. When exposure limits are exceeded, use appropriate respiratory protection (NIOSH/MSHA) to
prevent overexposure.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate. If user operations generate vapor or mist,
ventilation should be used to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.
