SECTION 4 PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
1. Effects from Acute Exposure:
Eye Very hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant, corrosive). Eye contact can result in corneal
Exposure: damage or blindness. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and
itching.
Skin Very hazardous in case of skin contact (sensitizer). Hazardous in case of skin contact
Exposure: (corrosive, irritant). The amount of tissue damage depends on length of contact. Skin contact
can produce inflammation and blistering. Skin contact may produce burns. Skin
inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.
Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. Do not breathe spray mists of the undiluted product. Effects will
depend upon solution strength and length of time of exposure.
Ingestion: Ingestion is not expected to be a primary route of exposure.
2. Effects from Chronic Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged dermal exposure may cause allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
In vitro mutagenicity tests on the active ingredients were negative. Birth defects are unlikely, as animal
tests on the active ingredients were negative.
SECTION 5 Toxicological Information
Acute Effects:
Expected to be acutely hazardous by all routes of exposure.
Irritant / Sensitization Effects:
Very hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant, corrosive). Eye contact can result in corneal
damage or blindness. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching.
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (sensitizer). Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive,
irritant). The amount of tissue damage depends on length of contact. Skin contact can produce
inflammation and blistering. Skin contact may produce burns. Skin inflammation is
characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.
May be harmful if inhaled. Do not breathe spray mists of the undiluted product. Effects will
depend upon solution strength and length of time of exposure.
Carcinogenic Potential:
Not tested by Buckman Laboratories. Not shown as a carcinogen by OSHA, IARC, or NTP.

SECTION 11 Satisfactory Materials of Construction
Not available.
SECTION 12 Spill, Leak, and Disposal Procedures
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE GUIDELINES:
Important: Before responding to a spill or leak of this product, review each section of this MSDS. Follow the recommendations
given in the Handling Precautions sections. Check the Fire and Explosion Data section to determine if the use of non-sparking tools
is merited. Insure that spilled or leaked product does not come into contact with materials listed as incompatible. If irritating
fumes are present, consider evacuation of enclosed areas.
Emergency Response Assistance: Emergency technical assistance is available at any time from Buckman Laboratories, Inc., by
calling (901) 767-2722.
Initially minimize area effected by the spill or leak. Block any potential routes to water systems (e.g., sewers, streams, lakes, etc.).
Based on the product's toxicological and chemical properties, and on the size and location of the spill or leak, assess the impact on
contaminated environments (e.g. water systems, ground, air equipment, etc.). There are no methods available to completely
eliminate any toxicity this product may have on aquatic environments. Minimize adverse effects on these environments. Buckman
Laboratories, Inc. can be contacted for technical assistance. Determine if federal, state, and/or local release notification is
required (see Regulatory Classifications section of this MSDS). Recover as much of the pure product as possible into appropriate
containers. Later, determine if this recovered product can be used for its intended purpose. Address clean-up of contaminated
environments. Spill or leak residuals may have to be collected and disposed of. Flushing residual material to an industrial sewer, if
present at the site of a spill or leak incident, may be acceptable if authorized approval is obtained. If product and/or spill/leak
residuals are flushed to an industrial sewer, insure that they do not come into contact with incompatible materials. Contact the
person(s) responsible for the operation of your facility's industrial sewer system prior to intentionally flushing spills or leaks of this
product to the industrial sewer.
DISPOSAL GUIDELINES
Note: Follow federal, state, and local regulations governing the disposal of waste materials.
Neat Product: Contact your Buckman representative or Buckman Laboratories, Inc., at (901) 278-0330.
Contaminated Materials: Determine if waste containing this product can be handled by available industrial effluent system or
other on-site waste management unit. If off-site management is required, contact a company experienced in industrial waste
management. This product is not specifically listed in 40 CFR 261 as a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
hazardous waste. However, spill or leak residuals may meet the criteria of a characteristic hazardous waste under this Act. Check
the characteristics of the material to be disposed of and/or the physical and reactivity data given in this MSDS for the neat
product.
Container Disposal: Empty containers, as defined by appropriate sections of the RCRA, are not RCRA hazardous wastes.
However, insure proper management of any residuals remaining in container.
