EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Opaque, Light Yellow Aerosol . Mild, Alcohol Odor. Contents Under Pressure. May Cause Eye and Skin Irritation.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for Toxicological Information)
PRIMARY ROUTE(s) OF EXPOSURE: X Eye X Skin Contact X Skin Absorption
X Inhalation X Ingestion
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE
EYES: May cause eye irritation. Symptoms may include redness and pain.
SKIN: May cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, rash and mild swelling.
SKIN ABSORPTION: May be absorbed through the skin and may cause effects as described under Inhalation (see below).
INHALATION: High concentrations of vapor or mist may cause nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms may include
coughing, a burning sensation in the nose and throat, and disagreeable metallic taste. May also cause central nervous system effects including

headache, dizziness and nausea.
INGESTION: May cause mouth, throat and stomach irritation. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May also cause central
nervous system effects including headache, dizziness and weakness.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Prolonged or repeated contact can cause defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin
irritation and dermatitis (rash).
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: May aggravate pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory conditions.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids apart. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at
least 15 minutes. Do not put any medication in the victim's eyes unless instructed by a physician. Get medical attention.
SKIN: Flush thoroughly with plenty of water, then wash with soap and water. Remove saturated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation
develops or persists. Thoroughly wash (or discard) clothing and shoes before reuse.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen (by trained personnel only). Get
medical attention if symptoms persist.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Drink large quantities of water. Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT AND METHOD: Not applicable.
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not applicable.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, dry chemical, CO2, or foam.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Normal products of combustion (carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) and nitrogen oxides.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Container is under pressure and may explode if exposed to excessive heat. Propellant retained by released
material may be ignited by heat, sparks, flames, or other ignition sources.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: This product is not aerosol flammable per flame extension test 16 CFR 1500.45. If this product is
involved in a fire, evacuate area. Cool containers exposed to fire with water. MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
and full protective gear should be worn.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
See Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 3, Hazard Identification. Floors may be slippery. Use care to avoid falling.
Remove ignition sources and ventilate spill area. Contain and isolate spill. Keep non-essential personnel from entering spill area. Use mop,
absorbent and non-sparking tools to collect material for proper disposal. Rinse area with water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Follow label use directions. Do not mix with other chemicals unless instructed by label directions. Avoid contact with skin, eyes
and clothing. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use spark-proof tools. Do not expose to heat. Do not use near
sparks, flames or pilot lights. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash
clothing and equipment before reuse.
STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use. Store away from incompatible materials. (See Section 10, Stability and Reactivity). Store
away from direct sunlight. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not store at temperatures above 120 F (49 C).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Page 2 of 5
JACKHAMMER Baseboard and Buildup Stripper
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
EYE: Where eye contact is possible, wear safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 approved).
SKIN: Where skin contact is possible, chemical-resistant clothing (e.g., gloves) should be worn.
RESPIRATORY: No respiratory protection is required if ventilation is adequate and airborne concentrations are kept below exposure limits.
When exposure limits may be exceeded, use appropriate respiratory protection (NIOSH)/MSHA-approved) to prevent overexposure.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate. If user operations generate vapor or mist, ventilation
should be used to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.
