Section 3 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
CAUTION: CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE DANGER: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE
Odor/Appearance: Clear to amber mist as dispensed from aerosol can.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure: Skin, eyes, inhalation, ingestion.
Eye Contact: May cause immediate or delayed irritation. Irritation may show up as redness and/or swelling. May
cause corneal damage.
Skin Contact: Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may produce redness, irritation and/or dryness. May cause
or aggravate dermatitis or other existing skin condition.
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors or spray mist may cause headaches, and/or nose and throat irritation.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause irritation to the mouth, esophagus, and/or stomach.
Signs or Overexposure: Irritation of eyes, nose, throat, digestive tract.
Target Organs: Over exposure to this material ( or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following
effects in laboratory animals:, mild, reversible liver effects, cardiac sensitization, kidney damage, effects on hearing.
Carcinogenicity: Ethylbenzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The relevance of this finding
to humans is uncertain. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified ethylbenzene as a
possible human carcinogen.
Reproductive hazard: This material (or a component) may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test
results with laboratory animals.
4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Flush with warm water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove any contaminated clothing and launder before reusing. If
irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove exposed individual to fresh air, protecting yourself. Restore breathing if necessary. Contact a
physician.
Ingestion: Immediately give the person two large glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention
immediately.
************* Do not give an unconscious or convulsing person anything by mouth! ************

5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: Flash point of propellant <0潞 F.
Flammable limits in air, % by volume: Upper: No Information Lower: No Information
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, halon or foam is recommended. Water spray may be used to
cool containers or structures. Halon may decompose into toxic materials, and carbon dioxide will displace oxygen.
Take proper precautions when using these materials.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: This material may be ignited by extreme heat, sparks, flames or other ignition
sources (static electricity). Vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areas (sewers) or travel considerable
distances. If containers are not cooled in a fire, they may rupture and ignite.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: At elevated temperatures (over 130潞 F) aerosol container may burst, vent or
rupture; use equipment or shielding to protect personnel. Cooling exposed containers with streams of water may be
helpful. Emergency responders should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear other protective gear as
conditions warrant. Keep unauthorized people out and try to contain spills or leaks if it can be done safely. Material
will float on water, avoid spreading the fire.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill or Leak Instructions: Avoid breathing vapors. Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny
entry. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas where vapors could accumulate. Ventilate to reduce concentration of
components below their exposure limits. Use protective equipment consistent with the situation. Assess the spill
situation, as the spill may not evolve large amounts of hazardous airborne contaminants in many outdoor spill
situations. It may be advisable in some cases to simply monitor the situation until spilled product is removed.
Pick up spilled liquid on absorbent material. If large release occurs indoors, turn off HVAC system to prevent vapors
from contaminating entire building. Petroleum lubricants are likely to be deposited on floors, making then slippery.
Immediately scatter sand or similar anti-slip material to prevent slip and fall injuries. Thoroughly clean floors to
remove residual lubricants before returning them to service.
Place leaking containers in well-ventilated area.
If required, notify state and local authorities.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Store below 120掳F in cool, dry area, out of direct sunlight and away from strong oxidizers. Do not
puncture or burst. Use in accordance with good work place practices. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep
containers closed when not in use. Always open containers slowly to allow any excess pressure to vent.
Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after
handling. Decontaminate soiled clothing thoroughly before re-use. Destroy contaminated leather clothing.
Empty containers may contain residues from the product. Treat empty containers with the same precautions as the
material last contained. Do not cut, weld or apply heat to empty containers Do not incinerate
Storage: Store in a cool, dry area, away form heat or direct sunlight. Keep containers closed when not in use. Do
not store with incompatible materials
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Protective Equipment: Use synthetic gloves if necessary to prevent excessive skin contact. Do not wear contacts
and always use ANSI approved safety glasses or splash shield.
Engineering Controls: General or dilution ventilation is frequently sufficient as the sole means of controlling
employee exposure. Local ventilation is usually preferred. Use a NIOSH approved respirator if ventilation is not
adequate to maintain exposures below TLV levels.
Respiratory Protection: Use adequate ventilation to maintain exposure limits. If the exposure limits of the products
or any of its components is exceeded, an approved organic vapor mask should be used (consult your safety
equipment supplier). Above 1000 ppm, an approved self-contained breathing apparatus or airline respirator with full
face-piece is required

Other Suggested Equipment: Eye wash station and emergency showers should be available. Spill containment
equipment should be available.
Discretion Advised: IMS takes no responsibility for determining what measures are required for personal protection
in any specific application. The general information should be used with discretion.

13. Disposal Considerations
Do not puncture or burn containers. Give empty, leaking, or full containers to disposal service equipped to handle
and dispose of aerosol (pressurized) containers. Dispose of spilled material in accordance with state and local
regulations for waste that is non-hazardous by Federal definition. Note that this information applies to the material as
manufactured; processing, use, or contamination may make this information inappropriate, inaccurate, or
incomplete.
Note that this handling and disposal information may also apply to empty containers, liners and rinsate.
State or local regulations or restrictions are complex and may differ from federal regulations. This
information is intended as an aid to proper handling and disposal; the final responsibility for handling and disposal is
with the owner of the waste. See Section 9 - Physical and Chemical Properties.
