EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
RISK
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the
lack of corroborating animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the
health of the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g.
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are
generally based on doses producing mortality (death) rather than those producing
morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and
vomiting. In an occupational setting however, unintentional ingestion is not thought to
be cause for concern.
EYE
Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant, direct contact with the eye may
produce transient discomfort characterized by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with
windburn).

Section 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene
practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in
an occupational setting.
INHALED
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the
respiratory tract (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene
practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures
be used in an occupational setting.
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects adverse to
the health (as classified using animal models); nevertheless exposure by all routes
should be minimized as a matter of course.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
路 Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses
concentrate them.
HANDS/FEET
Wear general protective gloves, e.g.. light weight rubber gloves.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
路 frequency and duration of contact,
路 chemical resistance of glove material,
路 glove thickness and
路 dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
OTHER
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE:
路 Overalls.
路 Barrier cream.
路 Eyewash unit.
The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of
personal protective equipment required.
Use appropriate NIOSH-certified respirator based on informed professional
judgement. In conditions where no reasonable estimate of exposure can be
made, assume the exposure is in a concentration IDLH and use NIOSH-certified
full face pressure demand SCBA with a minimum service life of 30 minutes, or
a combination full facepiece pressure demand SAR with auxiliary self-contained
air supply. Respirators provided only for escape from IDLH atmospheres shall be
NIOSH-certified for escape from the atmosphere in which they will be used.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear an approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

wastes must be tracked.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
路 Reduction,
路 Reuse
路 Recycling
路 Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make
it unsuitable for its intended use. If it has been contaminated, it may be possible to
reclaim the product by filtration, distillation or some other means. Shelf life
considerations should also be applied in making decisions of this type. Note that
properties of a material may change in use, and recycling or reuse may not always be
