3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency overview
Cream to beige liquid with characteristic odor.
CAUTION!
HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Avoid breathing mist.
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary
routes of occupational exposure to this material. This material is
a microencapsulated insecticide. Microencapsulation may tend
to limit exposure to the product or it may limit the rate of
absorbtion and distribution following exposure. Based on single
exposure animal tests, it is considered, to be practically non-
toxic if swallowed on inhaled, no more than slightly toxic if
absorbed through skin and non-irritating to skin and eyes. The
active ingredient in its non-encapsulated form, is readily
absorbed after inhalation and skin contact. Overexposure by
inhalation, skin absorption or swallowing may cause
organophosphate poisoning (cholinesterase inhibition) with
symptoms including swallowing difficulty, gastrointestinal
distress, vomiting, diarrhea, increased urination, headache,
weakness, tightness in chest, blurred vision, anxiety or
confusion, salivation, sweating, constricted pupils, muscle
twitching, respiratory distress, convulsions, unconsciousness
and possibly death.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Emergency and First aid Procedures
If Swallowed:
Call a physician or poison control center. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of
water and induce vomiting by touching back of throat with finger.
If person is unconscious, do not give anythink by mouth and do
not induce vomiting.

Skin:
Wash affected area with plenty of soap and water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Inhalation:
Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing administer artificial
respiration. Avoid unprotected mouth to mouth resuscitation.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Eye:
Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady stream of water at
least 15 minutes. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Note to Physician:
The active ingredient is an organophosphate cholinesterase
inhibitor. Atropine is antidotal. 2-PAM is also antidotal and may
be administered in conjunction with atropine. Morphine is
contraindicated.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and Explosion:
Flash point 96 掳C (Flash point method)
Flammable limits in air:
Auto ignition Temperature:
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Special fire fighting procedures:
Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to products of
combustion should wear full fire fighting turn out gear (full
Bunker Gear) and self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure
demand NIOSH approved or equivalent). Fire fighting equipment
should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Fire and Explosion Hazard
Avoid breathing fumes from fire-exposed material
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled:
Small spills: Soak up with an inert absorbent. Scoop up and
place in a clean, dry container. Consult with environmental

engineer or professional to determine if neutralization is
appropriate and for handling procedures for residual materials.
Large spills: Pump into marked containers for disposal or
reclamation. Consult a regulatory specialist to determine
appropriate state or local reporting requirements, for assistance
in waste characterization and/or hazardous waste disposal and
other requirements listed in pertinent environmental permits.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Do not breathe mist. Do not breathe vapor.
Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with
soap and water after handling.
Keep container closed. Empty container may contain hazardous
residues.
Storage
Keep from freezing; material may coagulate
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls:
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures.
Provide ventilation if necessary to minimize exposures. If
practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of
air contamination such as open process equipment.
Respiratory Protection:
Where airborne exposure is likely, use NIOSH approved
respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the material
and/or its components. If exposure cannot be kept .at a
minimum with engineering controls, consult respirator
manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for given
application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by
NIOSH or the manufacturer. For emergency and other
conditions where there may be a potential for significant
exposure, use an approved full-face positive-pressure, self-
contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with
auxiliary self-contained air supply. Respiratory protection
programs must comply with 29 CFR & 1910.134
Protective clothing:
Chemical resistant gloves, coveralls, apron and foot coverings.

Eye / Face Protection:
Where there is a potential for eye contact, wear chemical
goggles and have eye-flushing equipment available.
Skin Protection:
Minimize skin contamination by following good industrial hygiene
practice. Wearing protective gloves is recommended. Wash
hands and skin with soap and water thoroughly after handling.
