SECTION 3 鈥? HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: DANGER: Extremely flammable. Ensure adequate ventilation. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Pressurized container. Protect from
sunlight and do not expose to temperatures exceeding 122潞F (50掳C). KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
Potential Health Effects
Eyes: May cause slight irritation.
Skin: Substance may cause slight skin irritation. Prolonged skin contact may defat the skin and produce dermatitis.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause irritation to mucous membranes. Aspiration may cause chemical pneumonitis if aspirated into lungs.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high vapour concentrations may cause nasal & respiratory irritation and symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea,
vomiting and possible unconsciousness.
Chronic Exposure: Repeated and prolonged exposure to solvents may cause brain and nervous system damage.
Carcinogenicity: None known
Medical Conditions Aggravated be Exposure: May aggravate existing eye, skin, or upper respiratory conditions
SECTION 4 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation
persists, consult a specialist
Skin: Wash off with soap and water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Clean mouth with water and afterwards drink plenty of water. Call a physician or Poison Control Centre
immediately
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth.
Obtain medical attention
