| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
|=========================================================================|
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin.
Causes eye burns. Causes skin burns. Vapors irritating to eyes and
respiratory tract. May cause allergic skin reaction. Harmful to aquatic
organisms.
ACUTE EFFECTS - EYE CONTACT: CORROSIVE to the eyes and may cause severe
damage including blindness.
ACUTE EFFECTS - SKIN CONTACT: May be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts. Strong skin sensitizer. CORROSIVE. Contact may cause chemical
burns and blistering.
ACUTE EFFECTS - INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. Liquid aspirated into
lungs may cause serious injury or death. Vapors and/or aerosols formed at
elevated temperatures can be irritating. Prolonged or very high
overexposure may cause burns to the mucous membranes with severe
pneumonitis.

| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
|=========================================================================|
ACUTE EFFECTS - INGESTION: Can burn mouth, throat and stomach, with
nausea, severe pain, and vomiting. Slightly toxic.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: *Triethylenetetramine (TETA) caused
embryofetal toxicity and fetal malformations when fed to pregnant rats.
Similar effects were not seen in studies in which this material was applied
to the skin of rabbits, a more relevant route of industrial exposure.
These effects are believed to be secondary to copper deficiency, resulting
from the chelating activity of the amine. *Preexisting pulmonary and
dermatological disorders may be aggravated by exposure to hazardous
components. *Pregnant rats fed high doses of material during pregnancy
showed evidence of fetal injury.
OTHER INFORMATION: No information.
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: SKIN CONTACT, SKIN ABSORPTION, INHALATION, EYE
CONTACT,
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
clothing. Get medical attention immediately. Wash clothing separately
before reuse.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give victim a glass of
water or milk. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Treat symptomatically. If swallowed, gastric lavage
is indicated.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
FLASH POINT: 230 F LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.A.
(PENSKY-MARTENS C.C.) UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.A.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: No data
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:FOAM,CO2,DRY CHEMICAL,WATER FOG,ALCOHOL FOAM
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Closed containers may rupture or
explode (due to pressure build-up) when exposed to extreme heat.
Irritating and/or toxic gases or fumes may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use NIOSH-approved self-contained
breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Use water to cool
exposed containers. Water stream directed into fire may cause frothing
with subsequent spread of flame.

| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Reclaim clean
material. Wear appropriate protective equipment during cleanup. Absorb
with inert material, such as clay. Sweep or shovel into loosely-covered
waste container and remove to appropriate waste area. Dispose of in
accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Harmful to aquatic
organisms. Prevent entry into drains and/or waterways.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE |
|=========================================================================|
HANDLING: Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in
a well ventilated area. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist or gas. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY. Empty containers may
retain product residue and can be dangerous. Observe all labeled
precautions even after container is emptied.
STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
|=========================================================================|
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Local exhaust as needed to control vapor or dust
levels to below lowest component TLV.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None normally required under general ventilation.
If TLV/PEL is exceeded, if use is performed in a poorly-ventilated space,
or if inhalation effects occur, use NIOSH-approved vapor cartridge
respirator in accordance with applicable health and safety regulations and
manufacturer's recommendations.
SKIN PROTECTION: Clean clothing to cover skin. Butyl rubber gloves.
Neoprene gloves. Nitrile gloves. Teflon gloves. Viton gloves. Supported
PVA gloves. Synthetic apron.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggles. Face shield.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Accessible eye wash and safety shower.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Follow good general industrial safety practices during
use.
