EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical
attention.
SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
INGESTION: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching the back of the throat
with a finger. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Contact a
medical doctor.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists,
contact a medical doctor.
NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product has low oral and dermal toxicity. It is
expected to have low inhalation toxicity. It is minimally irritating to the eyes, and non-irritating to the skin.
Do not administer milk, cream or other substances which contain vegetable or animal fats, as they enhance
absorption. Central nervous system stimulation should be controlled with sedation by, e.g., barbiturates.
Reversible skin sensations (paresthesia) may occur and ordinary skin salves have been found useful in
reducing discomfort. Treatment is otherwise controlled removal of exposure followed by symptomatic and
supportive care.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if
necessary. Contain all runoff.
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Slightly combustible. May support combustion at
elevated temperatures. Finely dispersed particles can form explosive mixtures in air.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full
protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors
generated.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective
equipment as prescribed in Section 8, "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons
and animals out of the area.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Large spills should be covered to prevent
dispersal. For dry material, use a wet sweeping compound or water to prevent the formation of dust. If
water is used, prevent runoff or dispersion of excess liquid by diking and absorbing with a non-combustible
absorbent such as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump all waste material, including absorbent, into
a drum and label contents for disposal.
To clean and neutralize contaminated area, scrub area with a solution of detergent (e.g. commercial product
such as SuperSoap鈩?, Tide庐, Spic and Span庐, or other high pH detergent) and water. Let solution sit for 5
minutes. Use a stiff brush to scrub affected area. Repeat if necessary to remove visible staining.
Additional decontamination can be made by applying bleach (Clorox庐 or equivalent) to affected area.
Absorb wash-liquid as noted above, remove visibly contaminated soil and place into recovery / disposal
container (plastic, open-top steel drum or equivalent). Place all clean-up material in a container, seal and
dispose of in accordance with the method outlined in Section 13 "Disposal Considerations" below.
For further information on spill clean-up, waste disposal, or return of salvaged product, call the FMC
Emergency Hotline number listed in Section 1 "Product and Company Identification" above.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not use or
store near heat, open flame or hot surfaces. Store in original containers only. Keep out of reach of children
and animals. Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

EXPOSURE LIMITS
Chemical Name ACGIH OSHA Supplier
0.05 mg/m3 (TWA) 0.1 mg/m3 (PEL)
Silica, quartz
(respirable fraction) (respirable dust)
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: No open flames. Prevent deposition of dust; use closed
system, consider use of dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Use local exhaust at all
process locations where dust may be emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For dust exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For dust exposures wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted half-face or
full-face air-purifying respirator, which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN
or comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on airborne
concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear
coveralls or long-sleeved uniform and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills,
wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and
watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work
clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry).
GLOVES: Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as rubber, neoprene or
nitrile. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect
regularly for leaks.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Clean water should be available for washing in case of
eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco. Shower at
the end of the workday.

EYE EFFECTS: Minimally irritating (rabbit)
SKIN EFFECTS: Non-irritating (rabbit)
DERMAL LD50: > 2,000 mg/kg (rabbit)
ORAL LD50: 2,342 mg/kg (rat)
INHALATION LC50: Cypermethrin: 2.5 mg/l (4 h) (rat)
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has low oral and dermal
toxicity. It is expected to have low inhalation toxicity. It is minimally irritating to the eyes, and non-
irritating to the skin. Signs of toxicity in laboratory animals included convulsions, ataxia, abdominogenital
staining and, oral and ocular discharges. Experience to date indicates that contact with this product may
produce skin sensations such as numbing, burning or tingling. These sensations are reversible and usually
subside within 12 hours.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the
formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, cypermethrin did not cause reproductive toxicity,
teratogenicity, neurotoxicity or carcinogenicity in male and female rats and male mice. Cypermethrin
caused an increase in benign lung tumors in female mice at 1600 ppm in the diet. The EPA concluded on a
weight of evidence approach that cypermethrin represents a low oncogenic potential to female mice at this
dose level (approximately 228 mg/kg/day). Liver enlargement is often noted in laboratory animals that have
ingested large doses of cypermethrin during their life span. An overall absence of genotoxicity has been
demonstrated in tests of mutagenicity, DNA damage and chromosome aberrations. Repeated overexposure
to crystalline silica for extended periods has caused acute silicosis. IARC has classified crystalline silica,
inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources, as carcinogenic to humans (Group
1). NTP has classified respirable crystalline silica (quartz, cristobalite and tridymite) as "known to be a
human carcinogen". The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has
concluded that silica quartz is a suspected human carcinogen (A2 - limited evidence of carcinogenicity in
humans and sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals with relevance to humans).

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: When applied at agricultural use rates, cypermethrin has a
moderate rate of degradation in the soil. At termiticidal use rates, cypermethrin degrades at a slower rate
that is governed by soil characteristics (e.g., pH). The rate of cypermethrin hydrolysis is somewhat faster
under alkaline conditions than at neutral or acidic pH. Cypermethrin has a high affinity for organic matter
and a Log Pow of 5.0, but has demonstrated a low potential for bioconcentration (BCF = 17). Cypermethrin
is not mobile in soil.
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Cypermethrin is considered highly toxic
to fish and aquatic arthropods, and has LC50 values which range from 0.004 碌g/L to 3.6 碌g/L. The aquatic
arthropods tended to be some of the more sensitive species. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of
the aquatic environment. Cypermethrin is slightly toxic to birds and oral LD50 values are greater than
10,248 mg/kg.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited.
If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, an acceptable method of
disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national environmental laws, rules, standards
and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of disposal may vary by location and regulatory
requirements may change, the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior to disposal.
EMPTY CONTAINER: Non-returnable containers that held this material should be cleaned,
prior to disposal, by triple-rinsing. Containers which held this material may be cleaned by being triple-
rinsed, and recycled, with the rinsate being incinerated.
