III. Hazardous Identification:
Hazard Category:
X Acute X Chronic X Fire Pressure Reactive
Hazardous Identification Information:
Contents extremely flammable and under pressure. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Vapor harmful. Intentional misuse by
deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
SKIN: Frequent or prolonged contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis
(rash).
EYE: Liquid or vapors may cause redness, burning, tearing, swelling and/or pain.
INHALATION: Prolonged or repeated overexposure is anesthetic. May cause irritation of the respiratory tract, or acute nervous
system depression characterized by headache, dizziness, staggering gait, or confusion.
INGESTION: Due to being an aerosol, product does not lend itself to ingestion. Should ingestion occur, it may cause irritation to
membranes of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract, resulting in vomiting and/or cramps.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: Skin contact may aggravate existing dermatitus. Other conditions unknown.
CARCINOGEN DATA: None of the ingredients in this product are listed with OSHA, IARC or NTP as being carcinogenic.
Ethylene Trichloride is listed by IARC in Group 3 (not classifiable) and rated by ACGIH as Class A5, not suspected as a human
carcinogen.

Product Name: Clue Spray
MSDS No.: UVA201
INGESTION: Unlikely due to being in aerosol form. Should ingestion occur, do not induce vomiting! Drink a glass of water or milk
to dilute. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
EYE: Immediately flush with plenty of clear water for at least 15 minutes. Make sure to flush under the eyelids. Consult a
physician for definitive treatment.
SKIN: Remove with soap and water. Continue flushing for several minutes. Use skin cream to counter resulting dryness. Consult
a physician if irritation continues or if large skin area is affected.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical
attention if symptoms persist or if unconscious.
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic):
See above
Signs and Symptoms:
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Dermatitus
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
See above
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: <0 F. Lower Explosive Limit: NE Upper Explosive Limit: NE
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: For warehouse or storage conditions, use NFPA Class B extinguishers (CO2, dry chemical or universal aqueous
film-forming foam).
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Use water spray to cool fire exposed aerosol containers as containers can rupture violently from heat developed pressure.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Contents under pressure. In addition, when liquid or vapor comes into contact with flames or red hot metal, products of combustion
will be created. Firefighters should wear SCBA gear.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:

MSDS - Material Safety Data Sheet
Product Name: Clue Spray
MSDS No.: UVA201
CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: Product is an aerosol, therefore spills are unlikely. I case of can rupture, released content should
be contained as any other solvent spill.
SPILL CLEANUP: Spills from aerosol cans are unlikely and are generally of small volume. Large spills are not likely to occur. In
case of actual can rupture, avoid breathing vapors and ventilate area well. Remove all sources of ignition and use non-sparking
equipment. Soak up material with inert absorbent and place in safety containers for proper disposal.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: Aerosol products represent a limited hazard and will not spill unless ruptured. In case of rupture the
contents are generally evacuated from the can rapidly. Area should be ventilated immediately and continuous ventilation provided
until all fumes and vapors have been removed. Aerosol cans should never be incinerated or burned. See Section XIII for disposal
considerations.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS: Spills due to the rupture of a single aerosol can are generally below regulatory reporting
requirements. However, if large spills somehow result, the reporting requirements of the EPA and other local, state and federal
agencies should be observed.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Avoid breathing vapors. Store in an area below 120掳 F. Do not incinerate/burn
containers. Assure can is in a secure place to prevent knocking over and accidental rupture. Always replace overcap when not in
use. For storage of pallet quantities, compliance with ANSI/NFPA 30B is recommended.
Other Precautions:
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state and federal regulations.
VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
Ventilation Requirements:
General ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should match conditions. Local exhaust
ventilation or an enclosed handling system may be needed to control air contamination below that of the lowest TLV/PEL rated
ingredient from Section II.
Personal Protective Equipment:
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
SKIN PROTECTION: For brief contact, no precautions other than clean body-covering clothing is needed. For repeated or
prolonged contact, wear Sol-Vex gloves or other clothing impervious to the ingredients listed in Section II.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: When respiratory protection is needed, an appropriate NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator
should be worn.

Product Name: Clue Spray
MSDS No.: UVA201
Decomposition/By Products:
Oxides of carbon, HCI fumes, and possible trace amounts of phosgene.
Hazardous Polymerization:
Will not occur.
XI. Toxicological Information:
Acute Oral: Ethylene Trichloride
Acute Inhalation: LPG, Ethylene Trichloride
Acute Dermal: No data
XII. Ecological Information:
This product has not been tested for environmental effects.
XIII. Disposal Considerations:
An aerosol container that does not contain a significant amount of liquid would meet the definition of scrap metal (40 CFR 261.1(c)
(6)), and would be exempt from RCRA regulation under 40 CFR261.6(a)(iv) if it is to be recycled. If containers are not recycled they
must be managed under all applicable RCRA and state regulations.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state and federal regulations.
