Section 6 - Health Hazard Data
Routes of Entry: Inhalation Skin Ingestion
Yes Yes Yes
Health Hazards:
Inhalation of dense vapors or mist may cause respiratory irritation, dizziness or nausea. EYES: Moderate to severe
eye irritant. May cause eye damage with prolonged contact. SKIN: Moderate irritant to skin. Prolonged contact will
cause defatting and dryness. Ingestion may cause irritation. May be harmful if several ounces are consumed.
Carcinogenicity: NTP IARC OSHA Regulated
NO NO NO
Signs And Symptoms of Exposure:
Primarily irritation of any tissue with prolonged or repeated contact. See Health Hazards section.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure:
None known
Emergency And First Aid Procedures:
EYES: Immediately flush with a gentle stream of water for 15 minutes holding eyelids open to ensure adequate
irrigaton. Get prompt medical attention if irritation persists. SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Launder clothing
before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. INHALED: Move person to fresh air. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingested:
Rinse out mouth with water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water to dilute. See a physician
immediately. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONCIOUS PERSON. NOTE TO PHYSICIANS:

Section 7 - Precautions For Safe Handling And Use:
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled:
CAUTION: Do not use combustible or flammable absorbents for spill removal. Large Spills: Provide maximum
ventilation and eliminate all souces of ignition. Only personnel equipped with NIOSH/OSHA approved SCBA should
be permitted in the area. Dike area and pump spilled material into metal containers for disposal or reclaiming. Use
noncombustible absorbents such as clay, sand or vermiculite. Place in metal containers for disposal. Use water on
spill residue and wet vacuum or flush to waste water drain. Notify health and pollution control authorities promptly.
Small Spills (1 gallon): Provide ventilation. Wear and use appropriate protective equipment. Recover with non
combustible absorbent as above. Discard as sanitary waste. Water rinse residue to drain or mop up diluted product.
Waste Disposal Method:
This product and its mixing with absorbents may become ignitable waste. Discard product and/or containers in
accordance with Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as well as any
other relevent Federal, State or local laws/regulations regarding disposal.
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing:
Storage: Store in original container away from open flames, other sources of ignition and high heat. Keep container
closed when not in use. Avoid contact with food. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Handling: Do NOT get in
eyes. Do NOT wear contact lenses. Wash after handling. Avoid breathing of concentrated mist or vapor. Do not
take internally. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents.
Other Precautions:
None
Section 8 - Control Measures:
Respiratory Protection:
Special
Ventilation: Local Exhaust None
Mechanical Other: N/A
Solvent impervious gloves with repeated or continuous exposure.
Gloves:
Eye Protection: Splash goggles and/or immediate source of clean water for eye flushing.
Other Protective
Clothing:
Work/Hygienic Practices Avoid breathing of concentrated vapors or mist. Avoid prolonged exposure to skin.
