SECTION IV HEALTH INFORMATION
EYE CONTACT: This product is presumed to cause mild to moderate eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely
SKIN CONTACT: Exposure may cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause redness, burning, drying, and cracking of the
skin. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this material. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in
defatting and drying of the skin which may result in dermatitis.
INHALATION: Exposure may produce irritation to the nose, throat, respiratory tract, and other mucous membranes. Based on the presence of
component 1 exposure to excessive vapor concentrations may cause signs of transient central nervous system depression. (eg. Headache, fatigue,
drowsiness, dizziness, and loss of coordination.)
INGESTION: Ingestion may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and/or ulceration/burns in the throat and mouth. While this material has a low
degree of toxicity, ingestion of excessive quantities may cause signs of central nervous system depression. (e.g. headache, fatigue, drowsiness,
dizziness, and loss of coordination).
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of eye irritation include pain, tearing, reddening, and swelling. Symptoms of skin irritation include reddening,
swelling, rash, and redness. Symptoms of respiratory irritation include runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and
reduced lung function. Symptoms of gastrointestinal irritation include sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
AGGRAVATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS: Pre-existing skin, eye, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. OTHER
HEALTH EFFECTS: None recognized.

SECTION V EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT: If irritation or redness develops, move victim away from exposure source and into fresh air. Flush eyes w ith water for fifteen (15)
minutes. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing with mild soap and water. If irritation or
redness develops and persists, seek medical attention.
INHALATION: If respiratory symptoms develop, move victim away from exposure source and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention. If victim is not breathing, immediately begin artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties develop, oxygen should be administered by qualified
personnel. Seek medical attention.
INGESTION: Dilute with two glasses of water unless victim is unconscious or very drowsy. Induce vomiting by giving two tablespoons of ipecac or
by touching a finger to the back of he victim鈥檚 throat. Keep the victim鈥檚 head below the hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs. Consult a physician,
hospital, or poison control center and/or transport to an emergency facility immediately.
SECTION VI FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION - NFPA: Combustible liquid - Class IIIB
- DOT : Not regulated
FLASH POINT: Greater than 200 degrees F. (PMCC)
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical, or Carbon Dioxide.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS: Clear area of unprotected personnel. Do not enter confined fire space without helmet,
face shield, bunker coat, gloves, rubber boots, and a positive pressure NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Containers exposed to intense heat from fires should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure
buildup which could result in container rupture. Container areas exposed to direct flame contact should be cooled with large quantities of water as
needed to prevent weakening of container structure.
SECTION VII REACTIVITY
STABILITY: Stable HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur
CONDITIONS AND MATERIALS TO AVOID: Avoid oxidizing materials
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Combustion may yield Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, and/or incomplete combustion products. Do
not breathe smoke or fumes. Wear appropriate protective equipment.
SECTION VIII EMPLOYEE PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use ventilation as required to control vapor concentrations - at least 10 air changes per hour are recommended for
good general room ventilation. If exposure exceeds the PEL/TLV, use the appropriate NIOSH approved respirator.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear safety glasses, goggles, or a splash shield to prevent eye contact. Contact lenses should not be worn. Wear
appropriate gloves and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and clothing.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES: Eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available for use in an emergency.
SECTION IX ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES: LARGE SPILLS>> Evacuate the hazard area of unprotected personnel. Wear appropriate respirator and protective
clothing. Shut off source of leak only if safe to do so. Dike and contain. If vapor cloud forms, water fog may be used to suppress; contain run-off.
Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material;
place in non-leaking containers for proper disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace residue; dispose of flush solutions as above. SMALL
SPILLS>> Take up with an absorbent material and place in non-leaking containers; seal tightly for proper disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL: Observe all Federal, State and local regulations regarding proper disposal.
SECTION X ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
Containers may hold product residues even when empty. Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities.
