Section 2 - Ingredients
Chemical/Common Name CAS-Number % PEL-OSHA TLV-ACGIH
Trichloroethylene (1) (2) (3) 79-01-6 90 to 99.9 100 ppm 50 ppm
(1)
Subject to SARA Title III Sec. 313 reporting requirements.
(2)
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
(3)
Carcinogen, A2 by IARC, suspected carcinogen by NTP (ACGIH has classified it in category A5 as
an agent not suspected as a human carcinogen)
Section 3 - Health Data
HEALTH EFFECTS - Acute and Chronic
Inhalation Headaches, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, dizziness, drowsiness, and coughing at levels above
100 ppm. Exposure above 1000 ppm can cause adverse effects on visual perception and
motor skills. Ventricular arrhythmia and very rapid respiration have been observed in
individuals exposed to 15000 ppm. High concentrations or prolonged exposure can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
Ingestion Single dose toxicity is low to moderate. If vomiting occurs, Trichloroethylene could be
aspirated into the lungs, which could cause chemical pneumonia and systemic effects.
Eyes Liquid can cause temporary irritation with temporary corneal injury. Vapors can irritate eyes.

Skin Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause irritation, defatting of skin, and dermatitis.
Absorption of liquid through intact skin possible, resulting in systemic effects.
Chronic The finding of chronic toxic effects in lab animals may indicate toxicity to humans. Over-
exposure should be avoided. Failure to do so could result in injury, illness, or even death.
Chronic overexposures to trichloroethylene have caused liver toxic effects in experimental
animals. Exposure can cause an intolerance to ethyl alcohol.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY Inhalation, Skin
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Alcoholism, acute and chronic liver disease, rhythm disorders of the heart, neuritis, and other disorders of
the nervous system.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact Flush eyes immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
Skin Contact Promptly flush area with water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
exposed area with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration.
**Get Medical Help at once**
Ingestion Single dose toxicity is low to moderate. If vomiting occurs, trichloroethylene could be
aspirated into the lungs, which could cause chemical pneumonia and systemic effects.
**Note to Medical Personnel**
Because of increased risk of disturbances of cardiac rhythm (eliciting cardiac disrhythmias), Catecholamine
drugs (Epinephrine, Adrenaline) should be used only with special caution and only in situations of
emergency life support and only as a last resort.

Extinguishing Media
Water, foam, dry chemical, and carbon dioxide -- because product is essentially non-flammable, media to
control fire in surrounding materials is important.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures
At elevated temperatures, 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 alkalies, oxidizers, and reactive metals (i.e. potassium, sodium, zinc, magnesium).
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Hydrogen chloride, phosgene, chlorine, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and possibly incompletely
burned hydrocarbon products 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 (>120掳 F).
Section 6 - Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
Evacuate and ventilate area. Avoid breathing vapors. Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate area to
reduce concentration of the components below their exposure limits. 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
Recovered liquids can be sent to a licensed reclaimer or incineration facility. Contaminated material must
be disposed of in a permitted waste management facility. Consult Federal, State, or Local disposal
authorities for approved procedures.
When empty, residue remains, leave label on. Dispose of container according to local regulations. Where
possible, please recycle.
Section 7 - Exposure Control Information
Ventilation Local exhaust, or mechanical or special ventilation to maintain exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection
Generally not required if adequate ventilation is provided. If the exposure limit 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 airline respirator with full
face-piece is required.

Protective Gloves
Wear solvent-resistant gloves such as Viton, Polyvinyl Alcohol, or equivalent where prolonged or repeated
contact with the spray mist or deposited product is likely.
Other Protective Equipment
If contact is likely, eye protection is recommended. Chemical monogoggles or safety glasses with side
shields and 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 exposure limits.
Hygienic Practices
Avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing vapors. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area. Wash
hands before eating, drinking, or using restroom after using this or any chemical product.
Section 8 - Special Precautions
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage
Store in cool, dry area out of direct sunlight. Do not puncture, burn, or store above 120掳 F.
Maintenance Precautions NOTE: May react with aluminum and some plastics. Use on aluminum molds
only with advice of mold maker. Do not remove or deface label.
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.
