SKIN CONTACT: X
SKIN ABSORPTION:
EYE CONTACT: X
INHALATION: X
INGESTION: X
EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE:
ACUTE
MAY CAUSE MODERATE TO SEVERE EYE IRRITATION.
MAY CAUSE MODERATE TO SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION. INFLAMMATION, REDNESS AND BLISTERING MAY
OCCUR.
NOTE: SOME COMPONENTS ARE CONSIDERED CORROSIVE TO EYES AND SKIN. ACTUAL PRODUCT IS
DILUTE SOLUTION OF THESE COMPONENTS. REFER TO SECTION 11 FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON
EYE AND SKIN EFFECTS.
INHALATION OF VAPORS OR MISTS CAN IRRITATE OR DAMAGE THE RESPIRATORY TRACT, MUCOUS
MEMBRANES AND LUNG TISSUE. MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION AND BRONCHOSPASMS. SYMPTOMS
MAY INCLUDE COUGHING, WHEEZING, BREATHING DIFFICULTY AND PULMONARY EDEMA.
HIGH LEVELS OF INHALATION EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE NASAL SEPTUM. EFFECTS CAN
RANGE FROM MILD IRRITATION OF MUCOUS MEMBRANES TO SEVERE PNEUMONITIS TO DESTRUCTION OF
LUNG TISSUES.
MAY CAUSE SEVERE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS IN ASTHMATICS. ASTHMATICS OR PERSONS WITH OTHER
RESPIRATORY DISORDERS SHOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM EXPOSURE.
INGESTION MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE OR BURNS TO MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH AND
OTHER TISSUES. NAUSEA, VOMITING, ABDOMINAL CRAMPS AND DIARRHEA MAY OCCUR.
INGESTION OF LARGE QUANTITIES MAY CAUSE SKIN DISCOLORATION, DECREASED BLOOD PRESSURE AND
DECREASED HEART RATE POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN COMA OR DEATH.
CHRONIC
MAY CAUSE SENSITIZATION. PERSONS ALLERGIC TO SULFITES PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE.
REPEATED PROLONGED CONTACT MAY RESULT IN DRY, CHAPPED SKIN. A SKIN ALLERGY RESULTING IN
ITCHING AND SKIN RASH MAY DEVELOP.
REPEATED INHALATION MAY CAUSE NOSEBLEEDS, NASAL CONGESTION, TEETH EROSION, PERFORATION OF
THE NASAL SEPTUM, LUNG DAMAGE, BRONCHITIS AND CHEST PAINS.
SAFE HANDLING ON A LONG-TERM BASIS SHOULD EMPHASIZE THE AVOIDANCE OF ALL EFFECTS FROM
REPETITIVE ACUTE EXPOSURES.

SECTION 04 - FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID FOR EYES:
FLUSH IMMEDIATELY UNDER RUNNING WATER FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES. IF REDNESS OR IRRITATION OCCURS,
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
FIRST AID FOR SKIN:
WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. IF SKIN IRRITATION OR BLISTERING OCCURS,
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
FIRST AID FOR INHALATION:
REMOVE SUBJECT TO FRESH AIR. SEEK MEDICAL AID IF LUNG IRRITATION PERSISTS OR IF BREATHING
BECOMES DIFFICULT.
FIRST AID FOR INGESTION:
IF INGESTED, IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AND BRING COPY OF THE MSDS.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
TREAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATURE OF ACUTE EXPOSURE AND CONSISTENT WITH EMERGENCY AND FIRST
AID PROCEDURES. THIS MATERIAL AND ITS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS ARE RESPIRATORY AND MUCOUS
MEMBRANE IRRITANTS. PERSONS WITH A DEMONSTRATED ACUTE RESPONSE (WHEEZING) OR CHRONIC
RESPONSE (ASTHMA) TO SUCH IRRITANTS MUST BE EXCLUDED FROM EXPOSURE.
