3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Danger: Extremely flammable, corrosive. WARNING: POSSIBLE CANCER HAZARD Harmful if swallowed. May be fatal if
swallowed. Causes severe respiratory irritation. Do not inhale vapors. Heating forms hazardous vapor. Concentrated
vapor in confined areas may be fatal. Exposure increases Carbon Monoxide level of blood. OSHA required periodic vapor
monitoring whenevere Methylene Chloride vapors may exceed the action level (12.5 parts per million). Causes severe eye
burns. Causes severe skin burns. Possible redness and defatting may result from prolonged skin exposure to this matieral.
Drinking alcohol shortly before, during or after use can cause unwanted effects. POISONOUS! KEEP AWAY FROM
FOOD.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get
medical attention immediately after flushing.
Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Have patient lie down and keep warm. Vomiting may lead to severe damage to
esophagus which may be fatal. Give large amounts of water. Give at least one ounce of milk of magnesia or aluminum
hydroxide gel in an equal amount of water. If unavailable, give the white of 2 or 3 eggs. Never give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person. CALL A PHYSICIAN. PHYSICIAN: Give oxygen until recovery. Do not give patient
sympathomimetic amines such as epinephrine, which can cause arrhythmias.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult
give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Remove contaminated shoes and
discard. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
