Carcinogenicity & Chronic See Section 11 - Toxicological Information.
Effects:
Routes of Exposure: Eyes. Dermal (skin) contact. Inhalation.
Target Organs/Medical Eyes. Skin. Respiratory System. Central Nervous System (CNS).
Conditions Aggravated by
Overexposure:
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Promptly wash eyes with lots of water while lifting eye lids. Continue to rinse for at
least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and
launder before reuse. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Dilute with 2 - 3 glasses of water or milk, if conscious.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get immediate medical
attention.
General Notes: Persons seeking medical attention should carry a copy of this MSDS with them.
Notes To Physician: Aspiration may cause severe lung damage. Evacuate stomach in a way which
avoids aspiration.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties
Flash Point: F (C): 174 F (79 C)
Flash Point Method: PMCC
Flammable Limits in Air - Lower (%): ND
Flammable Limits in Air - Upper (%): ND
Autoignition Temperature: F(C) ND
Flammability Class: IIIA
Other Flammable Properties: Porous combustible materials wetted with product may spontaneously ignite if
exposed to air.
Extinguishing Media: Water fog, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical.
Protection Of Fire-Fighters:
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Do not enter fire area without proper personal protective equipment, including
NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Water
spray may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Keep water run off out of sewers and waterways. Note that
flammable vapors may form an ignitable mixture with air. Vapors may travel considerable distances and flash back if
ignited.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Oxides of: Carbon.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment identified in Section 8.
Spill Procedures: Evacuate surrounding area, if necessary. Keep personnel removed and upwind of
spill. Extinguish all ignition sources. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking. Shut
off leak if it can be done safely. Contain spilled material. Absorb in vermiculite, dry
sand or earth. Place into containers for disposal. Use non-sparking or explosion
proof means to transfer material to containers. Note that flammable/combustible
vapors may form an ignitable mixture with air. Vapors may travel considerable
distances from spill and flash back, if ignited.

MSDS NO. 10146 Revision Date: 03/04/2004 Page 3/6
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter sewer or surface and subsurface waters. Waste must be
disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local laws. In the U.S., for products
with reportable quanitity (RQ) components - if the RQ is exceeded, report to National
Spill Response Office at 1 800 424 8802.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists. Use only in a well ventilated area. Ground
and bond containers when transferring material. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage: Store in dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat,
sparks and flames. Store away from incompatibles. Follow safe warehousing
practices regarding palletizing, banding, shrink-wrapping and/or stacking.

Notes
(3) For Oil mist, mineral: ACGIH TLV 5 mg/m3, STEL 10 mg/m3; OSHA PEL 5 mg/m3
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation as necessary to maintain exposures to within applicable limits.
Personal Protection Equipment
Eye/Face Protection: Wear chemical safety goggles.
Skin Protection: Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Wear
chemical resistant gloves such as nitrile or neoprene.
Respiratory Protection: If exposed to particulates/aerosols:
Use at least a NIOSH-approved N95 half-mask disposable particulate respirator. In
work environments containing oil mist/aerosol use at least a NIOSH-approved P95
half-mask disposable or reuseable particulate respirator.
If exposed to organic vapors:
Use a NIOSH/MSHA-approved organic vapor respirator. CCROV: CCR with organic
vapor cartridge.
A NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator with ammonia/methylamine cartridges should
be used to protect against ammonia or amine inhalation exposure.
Refer to Exposure Limits table (Section 8) for component specific respiratory
protection recommendations.
General Hygiene Considerations: Work clothes should be washed separately at the end of each work day. Disposable
clothing should be discarded, if contaminated with product.
