3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATIONS
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
鈥? There is no specific antidote if product is ingested.
鈥? Induction of emesis is not recommended due to the large amount of petroleum solvent in this product, which
could cause chemical pneumonitis if aspirated. If ingested, lavage stomach, taking care to avoid aspiration of
stomach contents into lungs.
鈥? Check for possible mucosal damage before beginning gastric lavage.
鈥? If inhaled, observe for delayed onset of pulmonary edema.
鈥? Treat central nervous system effects symptomatically.
鈥? Contact with eyes may require specialized ophthalmologic attention.
鈥? An aqueous suspension of activated charcoal can be administered to absorb remaining toxicant.
SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE
Exposure may cause substantial but temporary eye injury and severe skin irritation. If swallowed, abdominal
pain, nausea, vomiting, gastritis, weakness, headache, or diarrhea can occur. Prolonged inhalation exposure
may cause respiratory tract irritation and central nervous system depression, resulting in headache, dizziness,
blurred vision or nausea. The petroleum solvent in this product can cause a chemical pneumonitis if aspirated.

FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Evacuate
nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes, or products of
combustion. Prevent use of contaminated buildings, area and equipment until decontaminated.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Wear chemical goggles of a full-face shield, rubber gloves, rubber
boots, long-sleeved shirt, long pants, head covering, and a NIOSH-approved full-face chemical cartridge
respirator with organic vapor cartridges and pesticide pre-cartridges of a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA). For small spills, cover with an absorbent material such pet litter. Sweep up and place in an approved
chemical container. Wash the spill area with water containing a strong detergent, absorb with pet litter or other
absorbent material, sweep up and place in a chemical container. Seal the container and handle in an approved
manner. Flush the area with water to remove any residue. Do not allow wash water to contaminate water
supplies.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of the reach of children and domestic animals. Store above
32掳F. Do not store food, beverages or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco
usage, and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Always wash
thoroughly after handling.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MANUFACTURING, COMMERCIAL BLENDING, AND PACKAGING WORKERS:
INGESTION: Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage, and cosmetic application in areas where there is a
potential for exposure to the material. Always wash thoroughly after handling.
EYE PROTECTION: To avoid eye contact, wear chemical goggles or full-face shield.
SKIN PROTECTION: To avoid skin contact, wear rubber gloves, rubber boots, long-sleeved shirt, long pants and
a head covering. Remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water, and launder
clothing before reuse. Items, which cannot be decontaminated, such as shoes, belts, and watchbands, should be
removed, destroyed, and disposed of.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: To avoid breathing mist or spray, wear a NIOSH-approved full-face chemical
cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridges and pesticide pre-cartridges or a supplied air respirator.

TOXICITY OF OTHER COMPONENTS
Ethylene Glycol Mono Phenyl Ether:
Exposure will result in severe eye irritation and moderate corneal injury. Liver, kidney, thyroid, and blood effects
have been observed in animal studies.
N- Butanol:
Prolonged exposure to N-Butanol may result in drying and cracking of skin from a defatting action. There is
evidence that long-term repeated exposure to vapor concentrations greater than 50 ppm may result in some loss
of hearing. N-Butanol vapor can cause specific injury to the cornea. Irritation of the skin and respiratory tract may
occur with brief exposures. Causes severe irritation to the eyes with lacrimation. Inhalation of N-Butanol may
result in loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness, nausea, drowsiness and vomiting.
Petroleum Solvent:
The supplier reports that inhalation of high vapor concentrations (over 1,000 ppm) may cause central nervous
system effects such as headache, dizziness, anesthesia and respiratory tract irritation.
Surfactants:
Small amounts of several surfactants have been reported by the manufacturers to cause skin irritation upon
prolonged or repeated contact.
TARGET ORGANS
Active Ingredients:
Prometon: Liver
Inert Ingredients:
Ethylene Glycol Mono Phenyl Ether: Liver, Kidney, Thyroid, Blood, and Eyes
