Emergency Overview: Clear, colorless liquid with strong ethereal odor. Liquid will irritate eyes and skin under
repeated or prolonged exposure. Breathing high concentrations of product vapor may produce drowsiness and a
headache.
Potential Health Effects:
Eyes: Liquid, aerosols and vapors of this product are irritating and can cause pain, tearing, reddening and
swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation.
Skin. Contact causes skin irritation.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to mouth, throat and stomach. May cause vomiting.
Inhalation; Harmful if inhaled. High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause
dizziness, unconsciousness, and even death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without
self-contained breathing apparatus.
Pre-Existing Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Heart, lung, skin, eye.
First Aid
Eyes: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue
flushing for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and tested by medical personnel if irritation develops or
persists.
skin: Wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation
develops or persist. Wash clothing separately before reuse.
Ingestion: Swallowing less than an ounce will not cause significant harm. For larger amounts, do not induce
vomiting, but give one or two glasses of water to drink and get medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Large Spills: Shut off leak if possible and safe to do so. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and
appropriate personal protective equipment. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth), then place in
a chemical waste container for proper disposal. Do not flush to sewer. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways.
Small Spills: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical waste container for
proper disposal.
