SECTION II - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: CAUTION! MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. MAY
AFFECT KIDNEYS.
Inhalation: Overexposure may Cause Coughing, Shortness of Breath Dizziness, Intoxication and Collapse.
Ingestion: May Cause Moderate Irritation of the Mouth, Throat, Esophagus and Stomach, with Abdominal
and Chest Discomfort.
Skin: Exposure to this Material can Result in Absorption Through Skin Causing a Significant Health
Hazard.

Slight Excess Redness of Conjunctiva. Serious Corneal Injury in Not Anticipated.
Chronic Exposure: Repeated or Prolonged Skin Contact may Cause Progressive Dermatitis and may Aggravate
Pre-Existing Dermatitis. Repeated or Prolonged Exposure to Vapors may Aggravate Asthma and
Other Respiratory Conditions. Overexposure may Cause Incooridination of Movements, Speech
Difficulties, Headache, Loss of Conciousness and Possible Liver and Kidney Damage.

SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If Inhaled, Remove to Fresh Air. If not Breathing, Give Artificial Respiration. If Breathing is
Difficult, Give Oxygen. Do Not Give Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation. Call A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If Swallowed, Give Lukewarm Water (1/2 liter/pint) if Victim
Completely Conscious/Alert. Risk of Damage to Lungs Exceeds Poisoning Risk. Obtain
Emergency Medical Attention.
Skin: In Case of Contact, Immediately Flush Skin with Plenty of Water for at Least 15 Minutes while
Removing Contaminated Clothing and Shoes. Wash Clothing Before Reuse. Thoroughly Clean
Shoes before Reuse. Get Medical Attention Immediately.
Immediately Flush Eyes with Plenty of Water for at Least 20 to 30 Minutes, Lifting Upper and
Eyes:
Lower Eyelids Occasionally. Get Medical Attention Immediately.
SECTION V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: >230 0F (>110 0C) CC, Auto Ignition Temperature: >780 0F (>415 0C)
Fire:
Slight Fire Hazard when Exposed to Heat or Flame.
Explosion: Above Flash Point, Vapor-Air Mixtures are Explosive Within Flammable Limits noted Above.
Sealed Containers may Rupture when Heated.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Alcohol Resistant Foam, Carbon Dioxide.
Special Information: In the Event of Fire, Wear Full Protective Clothing and NIOSH-Approved Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus with Full Facepiece Operated in the Pressure Demand or Other Postitive
Pressure Mode. Use Water Spray to Blanket Fire, Cool Fire Exposed Containers, and to Flush
Non-Ignited Spills or Vapors Away From Fire.

Ventilate area or Leak or Spill. Remove all Sources of Ignition. Wear Appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment as Specified in Section 7. Isolate Hazard Area. Keep Unnecessary and
Unprotected Personnel from Entering. Contain and Recover Liquid when Possible. Use Non-
Sparking Tools and Equipment. Collect Liquid in an Appropriate Container or Absorb with an
Inert Material (e.g., Vermiculite, Dry Sand, Earth), and Place in a Chemical Waste Container.
SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep in a Tightly Closed Container, Stored in a Cool, Dry, Ventilated Area. Protect against
Physical Damage and where a Fire Hazard May be Acute. Storage and Use should be No
Smoking Areas. Do Not Pressurize, Cut, Weld, Braze, Solder, Drill, Grind or Expose Containers
to Heat, Sparks, Flame, Static Electricity or Other Sources of Ignition. Containers of this Material
may be Hazardous when Empty since they Retain Product Residues.
SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation System: A System of Local and/or General Exhaust is Recommended to Keep Employee Exposures
below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local Exhaust Ventilation is Generally Preferred because it
can Control the Emissions of the Contaminant at its Source, Preventing Dispersion of it into
the General Work Area.
Airborne Exposure Limits: No Information Found.
Personal Respirators: Where Exposure Through Inhalation may Occur From Use. NIOSH/MSHA Approved Respiratory
(NIOSH APPROVED) Protection Equipment is Recommended.
Skin Protection: When Skin Contact is Possible, Protective Clothing Including Gloves, Apron, Sleeves, and
Boots. Head and Face Protection Should be Worn. The Equipment Must be Cleaned Thoroughly
After Each Use.
Use Chemical Safety Goggles and/or a Full Face Shield where Splashing is Possible. Maintain
Eye Protection:
Eye Wash Fountain and Quick-Drench Facilities in Work Area.
