3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Symptoms of Acute Exposure
Irritating to eyes.
May cause temporary itching, tingling, burning or numbness of exposed skin, called paresthesia.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases.
Physical Properties
Appearance: Brown solid
Odor: Paint
Unusual Fire, Explosion and Reactivity Hazards
This product is a combustible powder and like all combustible powders can ignite, burn and form explosive mixtures with air
if not handled correctly. Mixtures of powder in air with flammable solvent vapors should be avoided.
During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES

DEMAND G INSECTICIDE
Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data Sheet with you when calling Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison
contol center or doctor, or going for treatment.
If swallowed: Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment
Ingestion:
advice. Have the person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so
after calling 800-888-8372 or by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
If in eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
Eye Contact:
present, after 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or
doctor for treatment advice.
Skin Contact: If on skin or clothing: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20
minutes. Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
If inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial
Inhalation:
respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or
doctor for further treatment advice.
Notes to Physician
There is no specific antidote if this product is ingested.
Treat symptomatically.
Skin contact paresthesia effects (itching, tingling, burning or numbness) are transient, lasting up to 24 hours. Treat
symptomatically.
Medical Condition Likely to be Aggravated by Exposure
None known.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and Explosion
Flash Point (Test Method): Not Applicable
Flammable Limits (% in Air): Lower: % Not Applicable Upper: % Not Applicable
Autoignition Temperature: Not Available
Flammability: Not Applicable
Unusual Fire, Explosion and Reactivity Hazards
This product is a combustible powder and like all combustible powders can ignite, burn and form explosive mixtures with air
if not handled correctly. Mixtures of powder in air with flammable solvent vapors should be avoided.
During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
In Case of Fire
Use dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Evacuate nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of combustion.
Prevent use of contaminated buildings, area, and equipment until decontaminated. Water runoff can cause environmental
damage. If water is used to fight fire, dike and collect runoff.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Control the spill at its source. Contain the spill to prevent from spreading or contaminating soil or from entering sewage and
drainage systems or any body of water. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions outlined in Section 8. Sweep up
material and place in a compatible disposal container. Scrub area with hard water detergent (e.g. commercial products such
as Tide, Joy, Spic and Span). Pick up wash liquid with additional absorbent and place into compatible disposal container.
Once all material is cleaned up and placed in a disposal container, seal container and arrange for disposition.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and domestic animals. Do not store food, beverages
or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco use, and cosmetic application in areas where there is a
potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ARE INTENDED FOR
THE MANUFACTURE, FORMULATION, PACKAGING AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND/OR ON-FARM APPLICATIONS CONSULT THE PRODUCT LABEL.
Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for
Ingestion:
exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
Eye Contact: Where eye contact is likely, use chemical splash goggles.
Skin Contact: Where contact is likely, wear chemical-resistant (such as nitrile or butyl) gloves, coveralls, socks and
chemical-resistant footwear. For overhead exposure, wear chemical-resistant headgear.
Stringent housekeeping measures are necessary to prevent translocation of the material from contaminated
work surfaces to uncontaminated surfaces (railings, doors, etc.). Unprotected contact with such translocated
material can result in paresthesia effects (see Section 11 of MSDS).
Inhalation: A respirator is not normally required when handling this substance. Use effective engineering controls to
comply with occupational exposure limits.
In case of emergency spills, use a NIOSH approved respirator with any N, R, or P or HE filter.

Other Toxicity Information
In humans, contact with exposed skin may result in temporary itching, tingling, burning or numbness, called paresthesia. The
effect may result from splash, aerosol, or hot vapor contact, or transfer to the face from contaminated gloves and hands. The
symptoms normally disappear within 24 hours. Face and genital areas are especially susceptible to this effect. Paresthesia
involving the face is also known as "subjective facial sensation" or SFS.
Toxicity of Other Components
Nuisance Dusts (Particulates N.O.C.)
The carrier and one or more components are reported by the manufacturers to be nuisance dusts. Prolonged
breathing of excessive dust may affect lung function.
Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol (THFA)
Inhalation of vapors at high concentrations can cause central nervous system effects (dizziness, headache), irritation
to eyes or respiratory tract. Chronic overexposure may affect the kidney.
