Section 3 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
HEALTH EFFECTS (Acute and Chronic)
Nose HARMFUL IF INHALED. Nasal and respiratory irritation. Central Nervous System (CNS) depression
including lightheadedness, drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, headache, dilated pupils, tearing, insomnia,
paresthesia, dermatitis, plus asphyxiated, narcosis, and possible unconsciousness and even death with gross
overexposure. Vapors from elevated temperatures may cause respiratory irritation, harmful if aspirated into
lungs. Vapors from over 400潞 F (204潞 C) may cause 鈥淔ume Fever.鈥?
Mouth FATAL OR HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. Ingestion is not expected with an aerosol. Irritation
(gastrointestinal), nausea, vomiting. Aspiration of the material into the lungs during vomiting may cause
chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal. Possible irritation, nausea, or diarrhea.
Eyes Strong irritation. Symptoms could be irritation, burning, tearing, redness, swelling or frostbite. Avoid
prolonged contact.
Skin Localized dryness and defatting. Symptoms could be irritation, burning, drying, redness, cracking.
Frostbite from direct contact with spray. Prolonged contact may result in defatting, drying which may lead to
irritation, dermatitis, allergic reaction. If injected under skin, necrosis could result.
Chronic Overexposure to components of this material has apparently been found to cause liver abnormalities,
kidney damage, and/or nasal damage in lab animals.

ROUTE OF ENTRY Eye contact, breathing, skin contact, skin absorption, eating.
Ibp
TARGET ORGANS, MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE Not fully known, however, the
CNS, lung, eye, liver, GI tract, spleen, blood, and kidney could be affected by exposure. Preexisting skin and
eye disorders could be aggravated by exposure to this type of product.
Section 4 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Flush eyes immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, call a
Eye Contact:
physician.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Wash
contaminated clothing before re-use.
Remove to fresh air. Keep patient warm and quiet. If breathing has stopped, administer
Inhalation:
artificial respiration. **Get Medical Help at once**
Unlikely route of entry, however, if ingestion occurs do not induce vomiting. Aspiration into
Ingestion:
lungs during vomiting can cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
**Get Medical Help at once**
Section 5 鈥? FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (Method Used) .............................<0潞飥燜 *Flammable Limits : LEL = 1.4%. UEL = 12.5%
* flammable limits are reported based on component with lowest lower limit and highest upper limit
FLAMMABLE PROPELLANT VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE
NOTE: 0潞F flashpoint is based on propellant components. Solvent, active portion, flashpoint based on
component of lowest value: Flashpoint of rest of product is > 200潞F (PMCC, excluding propellant).
Extinguishing Media
Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Special Fire Fighting Procedures
At elevated temperatures, pressurized containers may burst, vent or rupture. Use equipment or shielding to
protect personnel against bursting, rupturing or venting containers. Cooling with water streams may be helpful.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Concentrated vapors can be ignited by high intensity ignition source. Firefighters should wear self-contained,
positive-pressure breathing apparatus, due to thermal decomposition products, and should avoid skin contact.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid)
Strong oxidizers. Do not mix with nitrites, because nitrosamine (potential carcinogen) could be formed.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and possibly incompletely burned hydrocarbon products and oxides of
phosphorus would be expected.
Will Hazardous Polymerization Occur? No
Conditions to Avoid for Polymerization: N/A
Is the Product Stable? Yes
Conditions to Avoid for Stability
Avoid contact with open flame, electric arcs, or other hot surfaces that can cause thermal decomposition.
Avoid temperatures high enough to rupture container.
Section 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
Evacuate the area. Avoid breathing vapors. Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate area to reduce concentration
of the components below their TLV/PEL values. Use protective equipment consistent with the situation. Pick up
the spill on absorbent material; store in closed containers for proper disposal. Avoid contamination of ground
and surface waters. Do not flush to sewer. If spill occurs indoors, turn off air conditioning and/or heating
system, to prevent vapors from contaminating entire building.
Waste Disposal Methods
Consult Federal, State and Local regulations. Do not puncture or incinerate (burn) cans.

Section 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage
Store in cool, dry area out of direct sunlight. Do not puncture or incinerate (burn) containers. Give empty,
leaking or full containers to a disposal service equipped to handle and dispose of pressurized containers.
Section 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation
General ventilation, local exhaust, or mechanical or special ventilation to maintain product and its components
below TLV/PEL.
Respiratory Protection
Generally not required if adequate ventilation is provided. If the TLV/PEL of the product 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 air line respirator with full face-
piece is required.
Protective Gloves
Wear impervious gloves such as Neoprene or equivalent where prolonged or repeated contact with the spray
mist or deposited product is likely.
Other Protective Equipment
As required by your company. If contact with the spray is likely, eye protection is recommended. Goggles,
safety glasses with side shields or a face shield will provide protection in most situations. Do not wear contact
lenses.
Other Engineering Controls
To determine exposure levels, monitoring should be performed. Eyewash station should be available.
Work Practices
Do not use in confined or closed space. Ventilation should maintain the concentration of the product and its
components below their TLV/PEL values.
Hygienic Practices
Avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing vapors. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area. Wash hands
prior to eating, drinking or using restroom after using this or any chemical product.
Other Precautions
Vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areas. Read and follow directions and cautions on the
container label, and any accompanying literature.
