| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
|=========================================================================|
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through
skin. Causes skin and eye burns. Vapors extremely irritating to eyes and
respiratory tract. May cause allergic skin or respiratory reaction.
ACUTE EFFECTS - EYE CONTACT: CORROSIVE to the eyes and may cause severe
damage including blindness. Product vapor can cause lacrimation,
conjunctivitis, and corneal edema when absorbed into the tissue of the eye.
Corneal edema may give rise to a perception of "blue haze" or "fog" around
lights. The effect is transient and has no known residual effect.
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: Liquid aspirated into lungs may cause serious
injury or death. Potential respiratory sensitizer. Prolonged or very high
overexposure may cause burns to the mucous membranes with severe
pneumonitis.
ACUTE EFFECTS - INGESTION: Moderately toxic. Can burn mouth, throat and
stomach, with nausea, severe pain, and vomiting.

| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
|=========================================================================|
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: *Preexisting pulmonary and dermatological
disorders may be aggravated by exposure to hazardous components.
*Prolonged or repeated overexposure may cause lung damage.
OTHER INFORMATION: Not Applicable.
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: SKIN CONTACT, SKIN ABSORPTION, INHALATION, EYE
CONTACT,
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial
flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15
minutes. Have eyes immediately examined and tested by medical personnel.
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately wash skin with plenty of water while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Contaminated clothing and leather articles should be disposed of in a
manner which limits further exposure.
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: 212 F LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.A.
(PENSKY-MARTENS C.C.) UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.A.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: No data
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:ALCOHOL FOAM,CO2,DRY CHEMICAL,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: 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. Decontaminate or dispose
of contaminated clothing and articles. Wash spill area with soap and water.

| 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 good general
industrial 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. Nitrile gloves.
Viton gloves. Butyl rubber gloves.
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. Do not smoke or eat during use. Wash after handling. DO NOT reuse
empty containers. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container
is emptied.
