3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Colorless to slightly yellow liquid, characteristic odor.
HANDLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PRACTICES.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. Based on
single exposure animal tests, it is considered to be practically non-toxic if swallowed, slightly irritating to eyes and
practically non-irritating to skin.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES, immediately flush with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
IF ON SKIN, flush the area with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
IF SWALLOWED, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.
IF INHALED, do NOT induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Get medical attention immediately. NEVER
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to products of combustion should wear full fire fighting turn out
gear (full Bunker Gear) and self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure demand NIOSH approved or
equivalent). Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
When burned, the following hazardous products of combustion can occur:
Hydrogen sulfide
Sulfur oxides
Oxides of carbon
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Isolate hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary or unprotected personnel. Contain spilled liquid with
sand or earth. Clean up spill immediately, observing precautions in the Personal Protection section of
MSDS. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Emptied container retains vapor and product residue. Observe all labeled safeguards until container is

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
cleaned, reconditioned or destroyed.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container tightly closed. Use only with adequate ventilation.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures. Provide ventilation if necessary to minimize
exposures. If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as
open process equipment.
Eye / Face Protection
Where there is potential for eye contact, wear chemical goggles and have eye flushing equipment available.
Skin Protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant protective clothing and chemical resistant gloves to prevent skin
contact. Consult glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type glove material for given application.
Wear face shield and chemical resistant clothing such as a rubber apron when splashing may occur. Rinse
contaminated skin promptly. Wash contaminated clothing and clean protective equipment before reuse.
Wash skin thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory Protection
Where airborne exposure is likely, use NIOSH approved respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the
material and/or its components. If exposures cannot be kept at a minimum with engineering controls, consult
respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for a given application. Observe respirator
use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer. For emergency and other conditions where there
may be a potential for significant exposure, use an approved full face positive-pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with auxiliary self-contained air supply. Respiratory
protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 搂 1910.134.
Airborne Exposure Guidelines for Ingredients
The components of this product have no established Airborne Exposure Guidelines
-Only those components with exposure limits are printed in this section.
-Skin contact limits designated with a "Y" above have skin contact effect. Air sampling alone is insufficient to accurately quantitate
exposure. Measures to prevent significant cutaneous absorption may be required.
-ACGIH Sensitizer designator with a value of "Y" above means that exposure to this material may cause allergic reactions.
-WEEL-AIHA Sensitizer designator with a value of "Y" above means that exposure to this material may cause allergic skin reactions.
