SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Light to dark amber liquid with an unusual mild odor. May cause severe eye and moderate skin irritation.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFECTS: This section includes possible adverse effects, which could occur if this material is not
handled in the recommended manner.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
See Product Label and Directions for Use for additional precautionary statements.
DANGER: Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Harmful if swallowed, absorbed through skin, or inhaled. Do not
get in eyes or on clothing. Avoid contact with skin and breathing vapor or spray mist.
Contains butyl cellosolve. Acute inhalation of butyl cellosolve causes lung, liver, kidney and blood changes in mice.
Embryotoxicity and malformations occurred among offspring of rats exposed to 100 ppm by inhalation; however, these
effects were accompanied by material toxicity. Embryotoxicity and teratogenicity were not seen in rats or rabbits at levels
that did not indicate toxic effects in the adults.
Chronic exposure may cause liver damage.
Existing medical conditions aggravated by exposure to this material: No information found for this mixture.
SECTION 4 FIRST AID PROCEDURES
IF IN EYES:
Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the
first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
IF ON SKIN OR CLOTHING:
Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control
center or doctor for treatment advice.
