EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ROUTES OF ENTRY: (Eye Contact, Dermal, Inhalation, Ingestion.)
ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE:
Eyes - Contact with eyes may cause irritation.
Skin - Contact with skin may cause irritation.
Inhalation - May cause irritation of the nose and throat.

MAXTRON EP
Ingestion - May cause nausea and vomiting. Large quantities may effect the central nervous system.
CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE: Dermatitis possible with prolonged and repeated contact.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Existing dermatitis and respiratory conditions.
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No
Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Eye Contact - If material comes in contact with the eyes, immediately wash the eyes with large amounts of water for fifteen
minutes, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact - If the material comes in contact with the skin, wash the contaminated skin with soap and water promptly. If the
material penetrates through clothing, remove the clothing and wash the skin with soap and water promptly. If irritation
persists after washing, get medical attention immediately.
Inhalation - If person breathes in large amounts of material, move the exposed person to fresh air at once. If breathing has
stopped, perform artificial respiration. Keep the person warm and at rest. Get medical attention as soon as possible.
Ingestion - If material has been swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
Section 5 - FIRE - FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: >455掳F (>235掳C) (ASTMN D 92) AUTO IGNITION TEMP: N/A
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR LOWER UPPER
% BY VOLUME N/A N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. Use foam, dry chemical or water
spray (fog) to extinguish fire.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: When fighting fires wear full turnout gear and self contained breathing apparatus. Water
may cause splattering. Material floats on water.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Toxic fumes gases or vapors may evolve on burning.
HAZARD RATINGS: NFPA 704: Health- 1 Fire- 1 Reactivity- 0
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO TAKE IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Personal protective equipment should be worn. Ventilate area if
confined or poorly ventilated. Contain with dikes or absorbent to prevent migration to sewers/streams. Take up small spill with dry
chemical absorbent; large spills may require pump or vacuum prior to absorbent. May require excavation of severely contaminated soil.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORING: Store in closed container away from all ignition sources. Handling temperatures should not exceed
175掳F (80掳C). Wash thoroughly after handling. Store in cool and well ventilated area. Odorous and toxic fumes may form from the
decomposition of this product if stored at excessive temperatures for extended periods of time."
Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL - PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Ventilate to control mists and vapors below exposure limits.
RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT: Normally not required, if exposure limits are exceeded use a NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator.
Self contained breathing apparatus is recommended for entry into confined spaces or other poorly ventilated areas and for large spill
clean-up sites.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical goggles or face shield recommended to minimize eye contact.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Impervious (nitrile) gloves recommended when handling material to minimize exposure. Long sleeve
shirts, chemically protective aprons and chemically protective boots are recommended for contact exposure or spill clean-up. Do not
wear watches, rings or similar apparel that could entrap the material next to the skin.
OTHER (SAFETY SHOWERS, EYE WASH STATIONS, ETC.): Water should be available for flushing and washing when exposure
exists. Launder soiled clothes. Discard shoes or other leather articles saturated with the material.
