3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Route of Entry: Eyes, Skin, Ingestion, Inhalation
Target Organs: None known
Inhalation: May cause irritation to nose and throat.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation and dermatitis.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the mouth, stomach and cause sensitization.
This aqueous solution contains a trace amount of Formaldehyde CAS#50000, percent by wait is miniscule.
4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If overexposure occurs, remove victim to fresh air. If breathing stops, administer artificial respiration. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing as soon at possible. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water. If

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing as soon at possible. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water. If
irritation persists, consult a physician. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Extremely contaminated
leather shoes should be discarded.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If necessary, gently hold open eyelids during the
flush. Immediately seek medical attention.
Ingestion: If large amounts of material is swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Should vomiting occur, be sure to keep
victim's head below hips to avoid aspiration of vomitus into the lungs. Immediatey consult a physician. Do
not attempt to give liquid to an unconscious person.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: NA
Flash Point Method: Pensky Martins Closed Cup Method
Burning Rate: No data available.
Autoignition Temperature: No data available.
LEL: N/D
UEL: N/D
Flammability Classificati Non flammable
Other:
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: None. Avoid breathing smoke. NFPA Class B-C fire extinguisher (dry chemical, carbon
dioxide or foam). Water spray may be effective on fire but can also protect fire fighters and cool closed containers. Avoid
spraying directly into containers to prevent boilover. Explosion hazard when exposed to heat and flame. Vapor is heavier than
air and can travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flashback.
Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricty, or
other sources of ignition; containers may explode and cause inury or death.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spills: Eliminate all ignition sources. Contain with earthen dike or petroleum material. Remove with grounded suction
pump to a salvage container. Remove all absorbent and contaminated materials.
Large Spills: For large spills, dike far ahead of liquid for later disposal. Do not release into sewers or waterways.
Cleanup: Remove all absorbent and contaminated materials.
Regulatory Requirements: Follow applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120).
Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights, electricial sparks). Persons not wearing protective
equipment should be excluded from area of spill until cleanup has been completed.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Precautions: For professional use only. Avoid eye/skin contact. Wash after using and before eating or
smoking. Avoid breathing vapors. Use as directed. Avoid uncontrolled mixing with oxidizers.
Respiratory protection is required when ventilation is inadequate. NIOSH/OSHA approved
respirators should be provided and worn.
Storage Requirements: Store in a cool/dry location. Do not allow material to freeze, as product may be damaged. Store
away from sparks and open flames. Corrosion resistant plastic containers should be used.
Store away from strong oxidizing agents and acids.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since containers retain product
residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be
observed. All five gallon pails and larger metal containers, including totes and tank trucks,
should be grounded and/or bonded when material is transferred. Hydrocarbon solvents are
basically non-conductors of electricity and can become electrostatically charged during mixing,
filtering or pumping at high flow rates. If this charge reaches a sufficiently high level, sparks

filtering or pumping at high flow rates. If this charge reaches a sufficiently high level, sparks
can form that may ignite the vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevated
temperature and pressure, or sudden ingess of air into vacuum equipment, may result in
ignition without the presence of obvious ignition sources.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls:
Protective Equipment: VENTILATION: Provide general or local exhaust systems to maintain airborne concentrations
below OSHA PEL's. Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant
dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its source.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use.
Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and, if necessary, wear OSHA/NIOSH
approved respirator. Select respirator based on its suitability to provide adequate worker
protection for given working conditions, level of airborne contamination, and presence of sufficient
oxygen.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING/EQUIPMENT: Separate contaminated work clothes from street
clothes. Launder before reuse. Remove this material from your work shoes and clean personal
protective equipment.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Never eat, drink or smoke in work areas.
