EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Clear, Light Straw Colored Liquid . Mild Odor. May Cause Eye Irritation.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for Toxicological Information)
PRIMARY ROUTE(s) OF EXPOSURE: X Eye X Skin Contact X Skin Absorption
X Inhalation X Ingestion
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYES: Causes mild eye irritation. Symptoms may include redness and tearing.
SKIN: Causes mild skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness.
INGESTION: May cause mild mouth, throat and stomach irritation. Symptoms may include nausea. May also cause central nervous system
Page 1 of 4

effects including headache, dizziness and weakness.
INHALATION: High concentrations of vapor or mist may cause nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms may include
coughing. High concentrations of vapor or mist may also cause central nervous system effects including headache, dizziness and nausea.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: May aggravate pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory conditions.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids apart. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at
least 15 minutes. Do not put any medication in the victim's eyes unless instructed by a physician. Get medical attention.
SKIN: Flush with water, then wash with soap and water. Remove saturated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Drink large quantities of water. Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen (by trained personnel only). Get
medical attention if symptoms persist.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT AND METHOD: > 93掳C (200掳F)TCC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not applicable.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Normal products of combustion (carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) and nitrogen oxides.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: None known.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: This product is not flammable. As in any fire, MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear should be worn.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
See Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 3, Hazard Identification. Floors may be slippery. Use care to avoid falling.
Contain and isolate spill. Keep non-essential personnel from entering spill area. Use mop, absorbent, or wet vacuum to collect material for proper
disposal. Rinse area with water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Follow label use directions. Do not mix with other chemicals unless instructed by label directions. Avoid contact with eyes and
skin. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash
clothing and equipment before reuse.
STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use. Store away from incompatible materials. (See Section 10, Stability and Reactivity).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate. If user operations generate vapor or mist, ventilation
should be used to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits (See Section 2, Composition/Information on Ingredients).
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE: Where eye contact is possible, wear safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 approved).
SKIN: Where prolonged or repeated contact is possible, chemical-resistant clothing (e.g., gloves) is recommended.
