3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
SYMPTOMS/EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Inhalation: May irritate the nose, throat, and lungs. Exposure to high doses may cause
central nervous system depression (anesthetic-like effects). Doses which
cause anesthetic-like effects may also cause adverse effects in liver, lung, and
kidney.
Ingestion: Low order of toxicity. May cause mild nausea and abdominal discomfort
Skin: Prolonged exposure will cause a skin irritation.
Eyes: Contact with eyes may cause mild irritation.
Listed Carcinogens: None
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Consult a physician.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Thoroughly wash affected area with soap
water; use skin cream if irritation is severe.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Call a physician if
irritation persists.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, chemical foam, carbon dioxide. Class BC, ABC fire
extinguisher.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and
personal protective equipment to avoid skin and eyes contact in fire
situations.
Unusual Fire and Explosions Hazard: In fires, toxic and corrosive gases may
be released.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Absorb spill with inert material, then place in chemical waste container. Clean up residue
with an appropriate organic solvent. For large spills, dike for later disposal. Observe
government regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in original container, preferably in a cool ventilated, fire-resistant building. Avoid
overheating or freezing. Avoid open flames and sparks. Since empty containers may retain
product residues (vapor, liquid, or solid) all label precautions must be observed.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if ventilation is not sufficient
and if mists are generated.
Ventilation: If desirable to reduce odor, local exhaust can also be effective in
minimizing odor. Provide sufficient ventilation to maintain emissions
below recommended exposure limits.
Clothing/Glove: Chemically resistant gloves should be used with all industrial
chemicals.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses/goggles are recommended. Provide eye bath near
work site.
