POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Primary Route of Exposure
Eye X Skin X Inhalation X Ingestion
Effects of Overexposure
Acute:
May cause minimal irritation, experienced as temporary discomfort.
Eyes:
Brief contact is not irritating. Prolonged contact, as with clothing wetted with material, may
Skin:
cause defatting of skin or irritation, seen as local redness with possible mild discomfort.
Other than the potential skin irritation effects noted above, acute (short term) adverse effects
are not expected from brief skin contact; see other effects, below, and Section 11 for
information regarding potential long term effects.
Vapors or mist, in excess of permissible concentrations, or in unusually high concentrations
Inhalation:
generated from spraying, heating the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas
or confined spaces, may cause irritation of the nose and throat, headache, nausea, and
drowsiness.
If more than several mouthfuls are swallowed, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea
Ingestion:
may occur. Aspiration may occur during swallowing or vomiting resulting in lung damage.
Unknown
Sensitization Properties:
Chronic:
No adverse effects have been documented in humans as a result of chronic exposure. Section 11 may contain applicable
animal data.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for several minutes. Get medical attention if eye irritation persists.
Skin:
Wash skin with plenty of soap and water for several minutes. Get medical attention if skin irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
If person is conscious and can swallow, give two glasses of water (16 oz.) but do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give fluids
again. Have medical personnel determine if evacuation of stomach or induction of vomiting is necessary. Do not give anything by
mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Inhalation:
If irritation, headache, nausea, or drowsiness occurs, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if breathing becomes difficult or
respiratory irritation persists.
Other Instructions:
Aspiration of this product during induced emesis may result in severe lung injury. If evacuation of stomach is necessary, use
method least likely to cause aspiration, such as gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. Contact a Poison Center for
additional treatment information.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in
Handling:
Minimum feasible handling temperatures should be maintained.
Storage:
Periods of exposure to high temperatures should be minimized. Water contamination should be avoided.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Protective Equipment (Type)
Eye/Face Protection:
Safety glasses, chemical type goggles, or face shield recommended to prevent eye contact.
Skin Protection:
Workers should wash exposed skin several times daily with soap and water. Soiled work clothing should be laundered or dry-cleaned.
Respiratory Protection:
Airborne concentrations should be kept to lowest levels possible. If vapor, mist or dust is generated and the occupational
exposure limit of the product, or any component of the product, is exceeded, use appropriate NIOSH or MSHA approved air
purifying or air supplied respirator after determining the airborne concentration of the contaminant. Air supplied respirators
should always be worn when airborne concentration of the contaminant or oxygen content is unknown.
Ventilation:
Local exhaust ventilation recommended if generating vapor, dust, or mist. If exhaust ventilation is not available or inadequate, use
MSHA or NIOSH approved respirator as appropriate.
Exposure Limit for the Total Product:
None established for product.
