FLAMMABILITY LIMITS: UFL: N/A LFL: N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water fog, foam
DEGREE OF FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD: Slightly combustible. Overheated, sealed containers are an
explosion hazard. Vapors which form inside empty containers may also present an explosion hazard during
a fire.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind residents and all areas
where fire seriously threatens the product containers. Wear full protective clothing including rubber boots,
neoprene gloves and self-contained breathing apparatus. Attempt to keep drums cool. Do no breathe or
contact smoke or vapors. CONDITIONS TO AVOID (INCOMPATIBILITY): Heat and fire. Thermal
decomposition and burning may produce toxic by-products and an explosion hazard. HAZARDOUS
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide. Chlorine and hydrogen
chloride may be formed.
Section V - Reactivity Data
STABILITY: Stable
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur
Section VI - Health Hazard Information
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Acute and chronic effects from overexposure may result from
inhalation and ingestion.
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: Data available to date on human exposure suggests that
permethrin does not produce skin sensations (feelings of numbing and tingling), although other pyrethroids
have been known to cause these reactions. If they occur, these sensations subside and disappear within a
few hours. Large, toxic doses administered to laboratory animals have produced central nervous system
effects with symptoms that include diarrhea, salivation, bloody nose, tremors and intermittent convulsions.
Overexposure of animals to permethrin via inhalation has also produced hyperactivity and hypersensitivity.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: In studies with laboratory animals, permethrin did not
cause reproductive toxicity or teratogenicity. Analysis of chronic feeding studies in both mice and rats with
permethrin resulted in the conclusion that permethrin's potential for induction of oncogenicity in
experimental animals is low and that the likelihood of oncogenic effects in humans is nonexistent or
extremely low. Long terms feeding studies in animals resulted in increased liver and kidney weights,
induction of the liver microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme system and histopathological changes in the
lungs and liver. An overall lack of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in mutagenicity testing with
permethrin.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: None presently known
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP: No
IARC: No
OSHA: No
Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling/
FIRST AID: EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, obtain medical
attention.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing and wash with soap and water immediately. Obtain medical
attention.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult or if any discomfort persists, obtain medical
attention.
INGESTION: Drink one or two glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching the back of the throat
with a finger or by administering syrup of ipecac. Obtain medical attention. Do not induce vomiting or
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Pounce Technical contains the Pyrethroid insecticide permethrin and has low
oral toxicity, moderate dermal toxicity and moderate eye irritation. Initial treatment is removal of exposure
by washing, emesis or lavage and is followed by symptomatic and supportive care.
PROTECTIVE REQUIREMENTS:
VENTILATION: Thoroughly ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading. Store in a cool, dry, well-
ventilated place. General exhaust ventilation is considered sufficient.
WORK CLOTHING: Wear long-sleeved coveralls or uniform, cap, safety shoes and neoprene gloves.
EYE PROTECTION: Where potential of splashing exists, or contact with mist, protective goggles and face
shield should be worn. A source of clean water for flushing the eyes should be nearby.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: For fires, use self-contained breathing apparatus only. For moderate
vapor liquid mist exposure, use half face or full-face air purifying respirators which are NIOSH/MSHA
approved for pesticides.
GLOVES: Where chemical protective gloves made of neoprene when handling this product.
Section VIII - Environmental and Disposal Information
STORAGE AND HANDLING: Store in a cool, dry place and avoid excess heat. Carefully open
containers. After partial use, replace bungs and close tightly. Store in original containers only. Wash
hands and other exposed skin surfaces prior to smoking or consuming food or beverages. Shower after
handling or applying the product. Do not put concentrate or dilute material into food or drink containers.
Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
SPILL OR LEAK: Isolate and post spill area. Wear prescribed protective clothing and equipment. Keep
material out of streams and sewers. Contain and absorb spilled material with a solid absorbent such as
sand, cat litter, commercial clay or other suitable absorbent. Place in an approved drum and dispose of
material following the method outlined below under "Waste Disposal". To decontaminate spill area, tools
and equipment, wash with a suitable solution (e.g. organic solvent, detergent, bleach or caustic) and
dispose of solution following the method outlined below under "Waste Disposal".
WASTE DISPOSAL: Open dumping or burning of this material is prohibited. An acceptable method of
disposal is to burn in an incinerator in accordance with all local, state and federal environmental laws,
rules, standards and regulations. Because acceptable methods of disposal may vary by location and
because regulatory requirements may change, the appropriate regulatory agencies should be contacted prior
to disposal. Steel containers which contained these materials must be crushed and disposed of in a sanitary
landfill. Do not cut or weld steel containers.
