POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:

EYE CONTACT: Can cause burns or even permanent damage with repeated, untreated exposures. Severity

depends upon concentration and duration of exposure.

SKIN CONTACT: Can causes skin burns. May cause more severe response if confined to skin, or if skin is

abraded, scratched or cut.

INHALATION: Exposure to mists generated from this material causes irritation, or even burns to the respiratory

tract. May result in coughing, difficulty breathing and sore throat.

INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. May cause pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness and fatigue.

CARCINOGENICITY:               NTP; No                 IARC; No       OSHA; No               ACGIH: No

CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: None known.



SECTION 4: EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with a directed stream of water for at least 15 minutes,

forcibly holding eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of all eye and lid tissues. Washing eyes

within several seconds of exposure is essential to achieve maximum effectiveness. Get immediate

medical attention.

SECTION 4: EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES (Continued):

SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush contaminated area with water. Remove contaminated clothing and

footwear. Wash contaminated areas with plenty of soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before

re-use. Discard footwear that cannot be decontaminated. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if safe to transport. Otherwise attempt to provide fresh are by

ventilation. If breathing is difficult, have a trained person administer oxygen. If not breathing, first call

911, then give artificial respiration.

INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water (If available, give several

glasses of milk to dilute). If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airway clear and give more water.

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get immediate medical attention.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: No specialized procedures. Treat for clinical symptoms.



SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:

FLASH POINT: Not Applicable AUTO IGNITION: Not Applicable         LEL / UEL: Not Applicable

with the generation of heat.

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear NIOSH/MSHA positive-pressure, self contained breathing

apparatus and full protective clothing.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: None known.



SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Follow protective measures provided under Personal Protection in

Section 8.

Evacuate unnecessary personnel from area affected by release. Contain Spill.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Do not allow entry into sewers and waterways.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP: For small spills, soak up with absorbent material and place in

properly labeled containers for disposal.

For large spills, dike and pump into properly labeled containers for reclamation or disposal, according to

local, state, and federal regulations.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS: Dispose of in a landfill or flush to a sanitary sewer in accordance with

local, state and federal regulations.



SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE:

HANDLING: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors. Wear personal protection

equipment as described in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection (Section 8 ) of the MSDS. Never

move drums with open bungs.

Section 10.

STORAGE: Keep container tightly closed and properly labeled. Do not store in aluminum containers or

use aluminum fittings or transfer lines.



SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION:

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Handle product in a well ventilated area. If product is handled in an open

system, the use of process closures, local exhaust, ventilation, and/or other engineering controls should

be considered to control airborne levels to below recommended exposure limits, or below acceptable

levels where there are no limits.

PERSONAL PROTECTION:

RESPIRATORY: A NIOSH approved respirator with a dust, fume and mist filter may be permissible

under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, or

when symptoms have been observed that are indicative of overexposure.

A respiratory protection program that meets 29CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be

followed whenever workplace conditions warrant use of a respirator.
