Section 5 - Health Hazard Data
Primary route(s) of entry: Eyes, skin contact
Health hazard/effects of over exposure:
Inhalation: Heated vapors may cause respiratory irritation.
Eyes: Moderately irritating.
Skin: Mildly irritating. May cause allergic reaction evidenced by rashes.
Ingestion: No specific information.
Chronic Effects of Overexposure: Prolonged contact with the skin may result in skin irritation and sensitization.
Carcinogenicity: This material is not considered to be carcinogenic by NTP, IARC or OSHA.
Mutagenicity (Ames Test): Both positive and negative results for CAS# 25068-38-6.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by
exposure to this product. Pre-existing skin or lung allergies may increase the chance of developing increased allergy
symptoms.
Emergency and first aid procedures:
Inhalation: In case of exposure to a high concentration of vapor or mist, remove person to fresh air. Get medical
attention if effects persist. Administer oxygen if necessary.
Eyes: Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and wash contact area with soap and water. Wash clothing before reuse
and discard contaminated leather articles. Get medical attention if swelling or reddening occurs.
Ingestion: If appreciable quantities are swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Dilute by giving
water or milk to drink if victim is conscious.

CFR 261). Place in an appropriate disposal facility in compliance with local regulations.
SARA TITLE III Chemicals: This product has been reviewed according to the EPA "Hazard Categories" promulgated
under Sections 311 and 312 of the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA Title III) and is
considered under applicable definitions, to meet the following categories: An immediate health hazard. This product
contains no ingredients subject to SARA Title III Section 313.
Section 8 - Control Measures
Respiratory Protection: Wear a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator whenever exposure to vapor/mist is
likely unless levels are below applicable limits.
Ventilation: Local exhaust is recommended when appropriate to control employee exposure if heated above 100隆 F.
Mechanical is not recommended as the sole means of controlling employee exposure.
Protective gloves: For operations where prolonged contact can occur, wear impervious gloves (neoprene, nitrile).
Eye protection: Chemical splash goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
Other protective equipment: For operations where contact can occur, coveralls, apron and rubber foot covering are
recommended. A safety shower and eye wash facility should be available.
Work/hygienic practices: Wash hands with soap and water after use and/or before breaks, lunch and at the end of work
