III. Hazardous Identification:
Hazard Category:
X Acute X Chronic Fire Pressure Reactive
Hazardous Identification Information:
May cause central nervous system depression, kidney damage and liver damage. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause reproductive and fetal effects. May cause cancer
based on animal studies. Target organs: kidneys, liver, central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, excretory system.
Overexposure may cause delayed kidney injury. Possible cancer hazard based on laboratory and animal studies. Repeated skin
contact may cause dermatitus, Repeated contact may cause adverse reproductive and fetal effects. Toxicity may be increased by
exposure to alcohol, steroida and ketones.

MSDS No.: ER1
Eyes: Contact with liquid or vapor causes severe burns and possible irreversible eye damage. Vapors may cause irritation.
Skin: May cause burning pain, itching or redness.
Ingestion: May cause central nervous system depression, kidney and liver damage. Aspiration into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
Inhalation: May cause headaches, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. May cause cardiac sensitization and possible failure.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
N/A
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids. Do not allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Get immediate medical attention.
Skin: Rinse area for at least five minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. If conscious, give victim 2- cups of water or milk. Seek medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical attention immediately.
Other Health Warnings:
Notes to physician: Causes cardiac sensitization to endogenous catelcholamines, which may lead to cardiac arrythmias. DO NOT
use adrenergic agents such as epinephrine or pseudoepinephrine.
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: NE Lower Explosive Limit: NE Upper Explosive Limit: NE
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. Use water spray, dry chemical or foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
None
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Use proper protective equipment as indicated in Section XIII. Absorb spill with inert material (dry sand, earth, etc.) and place in
waste container. Avoid runoff into sewers or waterways.
