EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical
attention.
SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation occurs and persists.
INGESTION: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching the back of the throat
with a finger. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Contact a
medical doctor.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists,
contact a medical doctor.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if
necessary. Contain all runoff.
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Slightly combustible. This material may support
combustion at elevated temperatures.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full
protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors
generated.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective
equipment as prescribed in Section 8, "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons
and animals out of the area.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Dike to confine spill and absorb with a non-
combustible absorbent such as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump waste into a drum and label
contents for disposal.
To clean and neutralize contaminated area, scrub area with a solution of detergent (e.g. commercial product
such as SuperSoap鈩?, Tide庐, Spic and Span庐, or other high pH detergent) and water. Let solution sit for 5
minutes. Use a stiff brush to scrub affected area. Repeat if necessary to remove visible staining.
Additional decontamination can be made by applying bleach (Clorox庐 or equivalent) to affected area.
Absorb wash-liquid as noted above, remove visibly contaminated soil and place into recovery / disposal
container (plastic, open-top steel drum or equivalent). Place all clean-up material in a container, seal and
dispose of in accordance with the method outlined in Section 13 "Disposal Considerations" below.
For further information on spill clean-up, waste disposal, or return of salvaged product, call the FMC
Emergency Hotline number listed in Section 1 "Product and Company Identification" above.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not use or
store near heat, open flame or hot surfaces. Store in original containers only. Keep out of reach of children
and animals. Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE LIMITS
Chemical Name ACGIH OSHA Supplier
10.0 mg/m3 (WEEL)
Propylene Glycol
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use local exhaust at all process locations where vapor or
mist may be emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For splash, mist or spray exposure, wear chemical protective goggles
or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For splash, mist or spray exposures wear, as a minimum, a properly
fitted half-face or full-face air-purifying respirator which is approved for pesticides (U.S.
NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN or comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection
must be based on airborne concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear
coveralls or long-sleeved uniform and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills,
wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and
watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work
clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry).
GLOVES: Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as butyl rubber, nitrile or
neoprene. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect
regularly for leaks.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Clean water should be available for washing in case of
eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking or using tobacco. Shower at the end of the
workday.

EYE EFFECTS: Mildly irritating
SKIN EFFECTS: Slightly irritating
DERMAL LD50: > 2,000 mg/kg (rat)
ORAL LD50: 234 mg/kg (rat)
INHALATION LC50: > 0.89 mg/l (4 h) (rat)
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has moderate oral, and
low dermal and inhalation toxicity. It is mildly irritating to the eyes, and slightly irritating to the skin. Signs
of toxicity in laboratory animals included tremors, decreased locomotion, rales, tonic-clonic convulsions,
and oral discharge. Experience to date indicates that contact with this product may produce skin sensations
such as numbing, burning or tingling. These sensations are reversible and usually subside within 12 hours.
In humans, ingestion of large amounts of propylene glycol has resulted in symptoms of reversible central
nervous system depression including stupor, rapid breathing and heartbeat, profuse sweating and seizures.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the
formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, zeta-cypermethrin did not cause reproductive effects or
teratogenicity in laboratory animals. An overall absence of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in tests of
mutagenicity, DNA damage and chromosome aberrations. Repeated overexposure to propylene glycol can
produce central nervous system depression, hemolysis and minimal kidney damage.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The physical and environmental properties, as well as the environmental toxicology of zeta-cypermethrin,
are similar to cypermethrin. Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below pertains to cypermethrin.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Cypermethrin is rapidly degraded in soil with a half-life of 2 to
4 weeks. It is readily hydrolyzed under basic conditions (pH = 9), but under acidic and neutral conditions,
hydrolysis half-life can be 20 to 29 days. Cypermethrin has a high affinity for organic matter and a Log
Pow of 5.0; yet because of the ease with which the material undergoes degradation, it has a very low
potential for bioconcentration (BCF = 17) and is not mobile in soil.
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Zeta-cypermethrin is considered highly
toxic to fish and aquatic arthropods and has LC50 values which range from 0.002 碌g/L to 2.37 碌g/L. These
values are comparable to cypermethrin. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the aquatic
environment. Cypermethrin is slightly toxic to birds, and oral LD50 values are greater than 10,248 mg/kg.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited.
If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, an acceptable method of
disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national environmental laws, rules, standards
and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of disposal may vary by location and regulatory
requirements may change, the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior to disposal.
EMPTY CONTAINER: Non-returnable containers that held this material should be cleaned,
prior to disposal, by triple rinsing. Containers which held this material may be cleaned by being triple-
rinsed, and recycled, with the rinsate being incinerated. Do not cut or weld metal containers. Vapors that
form may create an explosion hazard.
