III. Hazardous Identification:
Hazard Category:
X Acute X Chronic Fire X Pressure Reactive
Hazardous Identification Information:
Danger: Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed. Vapor harmful. Eye and Skin Irritant. Contents Under Pressure.
Level 1 Aerosol
IV. First Aid Measures:
Route(s) of Entry:
Absorption, inhalation, and ingestion
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic):
Affects of overexposure are:
Acute: Liquid splashed on eyes and skin can result in discomfort, pain and irritation. Inhalation can cause irritation of the
respiratory tract, dizziness, nausea, headache, loss of coordination and equilibrium, unconsciousness and even death in confined
or poorly ventilated areas. Ingestion may result in irritation of the mouth and GI tract.
Prolonged exposure above the OSHA permissible exposure limit may complicate existing liver and kidney diseases.
Signs and Symptoms:
Eye Contace: Irritant. Prolonged contact may cause conjunctivitis.
Skin Contact: Irritant. Defatting of tissue, dermatitis may occur.
Inhalation: Irritant to mucous membranes. Repeated exposure may cause narcosis..
Ingestion: HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. May cause burns to mouth, throat & stomach.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:

May complicate existing liver and kidney diseases.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with clean water for 15 minutes while lifting eyelids. Get prompt medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water thoroughly. If adverse effects persist, get prompt medical attention. Launder
contaminated clothing before reuse.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult give oxygen and get prompt medical attention. If breathing stops,
give artificial respiration and get prompt medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Call Poison Control Center, physician, or hospital emergency room immediately.
Aspiration of vomitus into the lungs can cause pneumonitis, which can be fatal. Do not administer adrenaline or other
sympathommietic drugs to persons overexposed to Perchloroethylene.
Other Health Warnings:
Vomiting and subsequent aspiration into the lungs may lead to chemical pneumonia and pulmonary edema which is a potentially
fatal condition.
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: None Lower Explosive Limit: Upper Explosive Limit:
F.P. Method: TCC
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water Fog, Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and protective clothes. Cool containers with a water fog. Use shield
to protect from venting, rupturing, and venting containers.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Contents under pressure. May explode when heated. Vapors of this product may present a future health hazard in poorly
ventilated areas. May liberate corrosive hydrochloric acid or toxic phosgene fumes.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Dike or
contain spill and absorb with inert materials (sand, sawdust, absorbent sweeping compounds, rags, etc). Shovel up and place
contaminated material into an approved chemical waste container. Prevent run-off to sewers, streams, or other bodies of water. If
run-off occurs, notify proper authorities as required that a spill has occured.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation and proper protective equipment.
Do not use or store near fire, sparks, or flame. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Exposure to temperatures above 120掳
may cause container to vent, rupture, or burst.
Other Precautions:
Vapors are heavier that air and will collect in low areas. This material or its vapors when in contact with flames, hot glowing
surfaces or electric arcs can decompose to form hydrogen chloride gas and possible traces of phosgene. Avoid contamination
with water supplies.
VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
Ventilation Requirements:
See Section 2 for applicable exposure limits. Maintain adequate ventilation.
Avoid breathing vapors. In restricted areas, use respirator with approved chemical filters designed to remove vapor. In confined
areas, use approved air line type respirator or hood. A self-contained breathing apparatus is required for vapor concentrations
above TLV limit
