Section 2: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Appearance & Odor: Colorless volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor
WARNING
Contents under pressure.
As defined by OSHA鈥檚 Hazard Communication Standard, this product is hazardous.
Potential Health Effects:
May cause eye irritation with tearing, pain or blurred vision.
EYE:
Immediate effects may include irritation, itching, redness and swelling. Prolonged
SKIN:
or repeated contact can cause defatting of the skin, with redness and rash.
Overexposure to vapor may cause dizziness, loss of concentration and irritation.
INHALATION:
With high exposure levels, effects can include central nervous system (CNS)
depression and cardiac arrhythmia. Product vapors displace air and can cause
suffocation especially in a confined space.
The major hazard is aspiration of the liquid into the lungs during swallowing or
INGESTION:
vomiting. This may result in chemical pneumonia. Symptoms include coughing,
gasping, shortness of breath, bluish discoloration of the skin, and fever.
Pulmonary edema, confusion, coma and seizures may occur in more serious
cases.
None identified.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
None identified.
TARGET ORGANS:
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Pre-existing disease of the central nervous system or cardiovascular system.
See Section 11 for toxicology and carcinogenicity information on product ingredients.

Section 4: First Aid Measures
Immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally to facilitate
Eye Contact:
irrigation. Get medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area with soap and water. Call a physician
Skin Contact:
if irritation persists. Wash contaminated clothing prior to re-use.
Remove person to fresh air. Keep person calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
Inhalation:
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Do NOT give epinephrine (adrenaline). Call a physician.
Do NOT induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a physician. Immediately give 2
Ingestion:
glasses of water. Do NOT give stimulants. Get medical attention immediately.
Because of possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs such as adrenaline
Note to Physicians:
should be used with special caution and only in situations of emergency life support.
Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical
conditions.
Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
Flammable Properties: This product is nonflammable in accordance with aerosol flammability
definitions (16 CFR 1500.3(c)(6) ).
Flash Point: None Upper Explosive Limit: None
Autoignition Temperature: ND Lower Explosive Limit: None
Choose an extinguishing agent appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Product will decompose at high temperatures. Decomposition products include
Products of Combustion:
hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl halides, such as phosgene.
Firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus for
Protection of Fire-Fighters:
protection against suffocation and possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye
and skin protection should be provided. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool and to knock down vapors which may result from product
decomposition.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Avoid inhaling vapors.
Personal Precautions:
Take precautions to prevent contamination of ground and surface waters. Do not flush
Environmental Precautions:

into sewers or storm drains.
Dike area to contain spill. Ventilate the area with maximum ventilation. If in
Methods for Containment & Clean-up:
confined space or limited air circulation area, clean-up workers should wear
appropriate respiratory protection and other personal protective equipment.
Recover or absorb spilled material using an absorbent designed for chemical
spills. Place used absorbents into proper waste containers.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Minimize vapor accumulation by providing air circulation. Avoid breathing vapors or mist.
Handling Procedures:
Wear eye protection. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Aerosol cans must be maintained below 120 F
Storage Procedures:
to prevent cans from rupturing. If stored below 14 F, mix prior to use.
