Emergency Overview
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Amber-colored liquid
Potential Health Effects
Summary
In high temperature applications, treatment, curing, or in geographic areas of high heat and humidity, this product may release
gases irritating to the eyes, nose and throat. In confined or poorly ventilated areas, use air supplied respirators during the first
heat-up cycles.
Inhalation
Inhalation of vapors or mists may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract or central nervous system depression.
Skin
Drying of skin, dermatitis, and blistering may occur following prolonged exposures.
Ingestion
This product in not intended to be ingested under normal conditions of use. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause
gastrointestinal irritation and disturbances. May cause effects similar to those for inhalation exposure. Aspiration into the lungs
may cause lung inflammation and other lung injury.
Eyes
Irritation, redness, and burning in eyes may occur.
Primary Routes of Entry (Exposure)
Inhalation, skin, and eye contact.
Target Organs
Nose (nasal passages), throat, lungs, skin, eyes
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing chronic respiratory, skin, or eye diseases or conditions.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid: Inhalation
If the affected person is having difficulty breathing, administer oxygen or apply artificial respiration and immediately contact a
medical professional.

First Aid: Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed areas with soap and water. If irritation develops or persists, seek medical
attention. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
First Aid: Ingestion
Product is not intended to be ingested or eaten. If this product is ingested, do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention
immediately.
First Aid: Eyes
Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
A NIOSH approved respirator must be used if vapor concentrations exceed exposure limits.
Ventilation
Local exhaust or general dilution ventilation may be required to maintain exposures below the applicable exposure limits. The
need for ventilation systems should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist, while the design of specific ventilation
systems should be conducted by a professional engineer.

Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Acute Toxicity
A: General Product Information
Vapors from this product may cause eye and upper respiratory irritation, dry throat and mouth, nausea, headache, dizziness,
drowsiness, and coma in extreme cases. Prolonged exposures may lead to liver and kidney injury.
Exposure to formaldehyde may cause eye and upper respiratory irritation, and possible respiratory or skin sensitization
(allergy). If sensitization occurs, subsequent exposures to formaldehyde may worsen asthma or other respiratory problems,
and cause allergic-type reactions.

Carcinogenicity
A: General Product Information
Exposure to formaldehyde has been associated with the development of nasopharyngeal cancer in laboratory animals and
humans. Formaldehyde has been classified as a known human carcinogen, Group 1, by the International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC). The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the US National Toxicology Program
(NTP) consider formaldehyde to have carcinogenic potential. OSHA specifically regulates formaldehyde under 29 CFR
1910.1048.
