4. First Aid Information
SKIN
Immediately wash skin with plenty of soap and water while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Place contaminated clothing in closed container for storage until laundered or discarded. If
clothing is to be laundered, inform person performing operation of contaminant's hazardous
properties. Discard contaminated leather goods.
EYE
Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be
held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing.

INGESTION
Do not induce vomiting because of danger of aspirating liquid into lungs,, causing serious
damage and chemical pneumonitis. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, keep head below hips
to prevent aspiration and monitor for breathing difficulty. Gastric lavage should be
performed only by qualified medical personnel.
Keep affected person warm and at rest. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Gastric lavage may be indicated if ingested. If spontaneous vomiting has occurred after
ingestion, the patient should be monitored for difficult breathing, as adverse effects of
aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to 48 hours.
In cases of acute poisoning, artificial respiration with administration of oxygen may be
useful for support. DO NOT GIVE EPINEPHRINE, EPHEDRINE OR SIMILAR ADRENERGIC
DRUGS. THEY MAY INDUCE FATAL VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION. Electrocardiographic
monitoring should be carried out with severely ill patients to anticipate possible cardiac
arrest.
Anemia may require the usual supportive measures. Medical evaluation of acute
overexposure should include hematological determinations until stable. In severe acute and
chronic poisoning, both renal and hepatic damage may occur and should be anticipated in
such cases. Respiratory and pulmonary problems may require special attention. After
severe acute symptoms have been alleviated, it may be advisable to consider periodic
monitoring of the patient until such time as the likelihood of other adverse effects can be
discounted.

TOXICOLOGICAL DATA
Exposure to components of this material may cause the following specific symptoms,
depending on the concentration and duration of exposure: anemia.
Acute or chronic overexposure to this material or its components may cause systemic
toxicity, including adverse effects to the following: skin, blood elements, liver, kidney,
cardiovascular, nervous and respiratory system.
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents
with permanent brain and nervous system damage (sometimes referred to as solvent or
painter's syndrome). Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling this
material may be harmful or fatal.
This material may contain n-hexane. n-Hexane is a skin, eye and respiratory tract irritant. It
is a cardiac sensitizer, central nervous system depressant and a neurotoxin. Acute
exposure may result in dizziness, asphyxia, anesthesia, brain damage and cardiac arrest at
high concentrations. Repeated or prolonged exposure may result in peripheral neuropathy,

characterized by progressive weakness, facial and limb numbness, color vision
abnormalities and paralysis of the limbs. It has been observed to cause damage to the
testes and fetal effects in a two-generation animal study. NTP has reported it to cause liver
tumors in female mice. Persons with skin, lung, liver or kidney disorders may be at
increased risk.
This material may contain toluene. Toluene is an eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritant as
well as a central nervous system depressant. Overexposure may result in damage to the
brain, liver, kidney, cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological systems. Prolonged and
repeated exposure may result may result in behavioral effects, anemia, and color vision
abnormalities, blindness and hearing loss. It has been shown to produce reproductive
effects in both humans and laboratory animals. It has also been reported to produce cardiac
sensitization. Repeated or prolonged exposure to toluene may result in skin absorption,
which may result in toxic effects. IARC has determined that there is inadequate evidence for
the carcinogenicity of toluene in humans and experimental animals (IARC Class 3).
This material may contain benzene. Acute benzene poisoning causes central nervous
system depression. Chronic exposure affects the hematopoietic system causing blood
disorders including anemia and pancytopenia.
This material may contain naphthalene. Naphthalene can be harmful by any route of
exposure. Humans may be more sensitive to naphthalene than laboratory animals.
Naphthalene can cause skin and eye irritation and acute central nervous system effects. It
can also cause blood effects, including hemolytic and aplastic anemia, cataracts, liver and
kidney damage. Following maternal exposure, naphtalene has also been reported to cause
fetal blood system, liver and possibly eye damage. In a 2-year lifetime inhalation bioassay,
female mice showed a significantly increased incidence of pulmonary adveolar and
bronchiolar adenomas. On this basis, NTP has determined that there is some evidence of
naphthalene carcinogenicity in female mice. Both male and female mice showed evidence of
chronic inflammation and its associated response in the respiratory system.
CARCINOGENICITY
This material may contain benzene. Benzene is carcinogenic to laboratory animals when
given to intubation or by inhalation. There is an association between occupational exposure
to benzene and human lukemia. Carcinogenic determinations: IARC human positive and
animal suspected carcinogen (IARC Class 1); NTP known carcinogen; ACGIh suspected
carcinogen; OSHA carcinogen.
This material may contain ethylbenzene. IARC has determined that there is sufficient
evidence for the carcinogenicity of ethylbenzene in experimental animals and inadequate
evidence for the carcinogenicity of ethylbenzene in humans. (IARC Class 2B)
This material may contain naphthalene. IARC has determined that there is sufficient
evidence for the carcinogenicity of naphthalene in experiemental animals and inadequate
evidence for the carcinogenicity of naphthalene in humans. (IARC Class 2B)
