Section 3 - Health Hazard Data (continued)
Eyes Prevent eye contact. Irritation if gotten into eyes.
Skin Prevent skin contact. Irritation can occur from prolonged or repeated skin contact. Keep out
of open wounds.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY Skin contact, ingestion.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE None known
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact Flush eyes immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. May cause temporary eye
irritation.
Skin Contact Wash affected area with soap and water; use a fingernail brush as needed. Wash
contaminated clothing before re-use. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation Remove to fresh air. Not likely under normal conditions of use. If using in high temperature
applications where thermal decomposition is likely, use local exhaust to keep down fumes.
If dizziness occurs, seek fresh air.
Ingestion Induce vomiting; Seek medical attention immediately.

Conditions to Avoid for Stability High heat, incompatibles.
Section 6 - Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled Because of the viscous nature of this
product, spills are unlikely. Clean up using inert materials; Prevent material from spreading; Dispose of
immediately; Wear appropriate protective equipment. Scoop it back into the container.
Waste Disposal Methods Consult Federal, State, or Local disposal authorities for approved procedures.
Contains a petroleum oil, the preferred method of disposal is incineration. Do not discharge into sewers or
waterways.
Section 7 - Exposure Control Information
Ventilation General ventilation, local exhaust, or mechanical or special ventilation to minimize exposure to
product vapors.
Respiratory Protection Generally not required if adequate ventilation is provided. If this product is being
used in high temperature applications where the product 鈥渟mokes,鈥? use a local exhaust, or ventilate the
area to maintain the air quality or use a NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator.
Protective Gloves Protect persons with open wounds or with skin sensitivity or if prolonged or repeated
skin contact is expected, wear solvent-resistant gloves such as Viton, Polyvinyl Alcohol, or equivalent
rubber gloves.
Other Protective Equipment As required by your company. If contact with the product is likely, eye
protection is recommended. Goggles or safety glasses with side shields and face shield will provide
protection in most situations.
Other Engineering Controls To determine exposure levels, monitoring should be performed. Eyewash
station should be available
Work Practices Do not use in confined or closed space. Ventilation should maintain the concentration of
the product and its components below their exposure limits.
Hygienic Practices Avoid contacts with skin and avoid breathing vapors. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in
