MSDS - Material Safety Data Sheet
Product Name: Tape Release Agent
MSDS No.: TRA20
Inhalation: Headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, unconsciousness, coma
Ingestion: Headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, unconsciousness. Symptoms (dyspnea) can develop several hours
after exposure.
Skin: Burning pain, itching, redness
Eyes: Redness
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Skin, eye, respiratory, kidney, heart, central nervous system, liver, gastrointestinal system, excretory system diseases
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen (To be
administered by qualified medical personnel only!) Keep victim at rest. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink plenty of water. (Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person!) Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Rub skin with hand lotion.
Seek medical attention.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Do not allow victim to
rub or keep eyes closed. Get medical aid.
Other Health Warnings:
Toxicity may be increased by exposure to alcohol, steroids, and ketones.
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: 45 F Lower Explosive Limit: 0.6% Upper Explosive Limit: 7%
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Water may be ineffective, but may be used to cool fire-exposed
containers. Remove fire-exposed containers if possible.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Vapors may be heavier than air. They may spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Vapors from this product
may travel some distance from original point to an ignition source and flash back.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear vapor respirator, safety goggles, and nitrile rubber gloves. Remove sources of ignition (i.e. open flames, sparks). Soak up
with inert absorbent material (dry sand or earth recommended; do not use flammable substances such as sawdust). Flush spill site
with water after collection. Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in tightly closed container. Keep cool and dry. Store at room temperature (~75 F). Store with flammable liquids. Avoid
direct sunlight. Avoid all ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible materials. Use only in well-ventilated
areas. Avoid inhalation and ingestion. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
