III 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists. Corrosive to eyes, irritating to the skin and
respiratory systems.
Primary Route(s) of Entry:
Ingestion: ()
Inhalation: (X)
Skin Contact: (X)
Eye Contact: (X)
Primary Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic):
Acute:
Ingestion: Ingestion is not expected to be a primary route of exposure.
Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. Do not breathe spray mists of the
undiluted product. Effects will depend upon solution strength and length
of time of exposure.
Skin Contact: Hazardous in case of skin contact (Irritant). Non-corrosive
for skin. Non-sensitizer for skin. Skin contact may produce burns. Itching,
scaling, redness or occasionally blistering characterizes skin inflammation.
Eye Contact: Very hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant, corrosive).
Redness, watering, and itching characterize inflammation of the eye.
Chronic:
Not toxic to aquatic organisms and not suspected of long term adverse
effects in the aquatic environment.

IV 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Rinse with copious amounts of water
or milk, first. Irrigate the esophagus and dilute stomach contents by slowly
giving one or two glasses of water or milk. Avoid giving alcohol or
alcohol related products. In cases where the individual is semi-comatose,
comatose, or convulsing, do not give fluids by mouth. In case of
intentional ingestion of the product seek medical assistance immediately;
take individual to nearest medical facility.
Inhalation: If exposure by inhalation is suspected, immediately move exposed
individual to fresh air. If individual experiences nausea, headache,
dizziness, has difficulty in breathing, or is cyanotic, seek medical attention
immediately.
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with plenty of soap and water. Repeat
washing. Remove contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly before
reuse. If irritation persists, consult a health care professional.
Eye Contact: Flush immediately with copious amounts of tap water or normal
saline (minimum of 15 minutes). Take exposed individual to a health care
professional, preferably an ophthalmologist, for further evaluations.

VI 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to Be Taken In Case Material Is Spilled or Released:
Important: before responding to a spill or leak of this product, review each
section of this MSDS. Follow the recommendations given in the Handling
Precaution sections. Check the Fire and Explosion Data section to determine if the
use of non-sparking tools is merited. Insure that spilled or leaked product does not
come into contact with materials listed as incompatible. If irritating fumes are
present, consider evacuation of affected areas.
Initially minimize area affected by the spill or leak. Block any potential routes to
water systems (e.g., sewers, streams, lakes, etc.). Based on the products
toxicological and chemical properties, and on the size and location of the spill, or
leak access the impact on contaminated environments (e.g. water systems, ground
air equipments, etc.). There are no methods available to completely eliminate any
toxicity this product may have on aquatic environments, minimize advers effects
on these environments. Determine if Federal, State, and/or local release
notification is required. Recover as much of the pure product as possible into
appropriate containers. Later determine if this recovered product can be used for
its intended purpose. Address clean up of contaminated environments. Spill or
leak residuals may have to be collected and disposed of. Clay, soil, or
commercially available absorbents may be used to recover any material that
cannot readily be recovered as pure product. Flushing residual material to an
industrial sewer, if present at the site of a spill, or leak incident, may be
acceptable is authorized approval is obtained. If product and/or spill/leak residuals
are flushed to an industrial sewer, insure that they do not come into contact with
incompatible materials.
VII 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storage:
Rubber gloves, safety glasses or goggles, body protective clothing and shoes are
required. Eyewash fountains in the work place are recommended. If splashing can
occur, a face shield is advisable. Provide dilution ventilation to control vapor
and/or mist level. When misting may occur in the work area, a NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator may be required. Use a respirator approved for the material
and level of exposure. A comprehensive respiratory protection program is needed
when respirators must be used. The handling precautions for this product are
based on the characteristics of the neat product unless otherwise specified.
Other Precautions:
