SECTION VI -HEALTH HAZARD DATA
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF EXPOSURE/ENTRY: Eye contact, skin contact, inhalation, ingestion.
EYES Vapors may irritate the eyes. Liquid is irritating and potentially
damaging to the eyes.
SKIN Liquid may irritate and dry the skin. Prolonged contact may lead to
burns and blisters and may aggravate dermatitis.
INHALATION Vapors may irritate the respiratory tract. May lead to headache,

LIQUID BROWN 2HF
dizziness, nausea, vomiting and unconsciousness. High vapor
concentrations are anesthetic and may have other central nervous
system effects including death.
INGESTION May lead to headache, dizziness, nausea and abdominal pain.
CHRONIC EFFECTS This product contains naphthalene. The International Agency
for Research on Cancer evaluated naphthalene and concluded that
there was sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental
animals, but inadequate evidence for cancer in exposed humans.
Accordingly, IARC classified naphthalene as a possible human
Carcinogen (Group 2B).

SECTION XI- SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: OSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus
or vapor cartridge respirator. (Must be worn if PEL & TLV
levels are exceeded)
VENTILATION: Provide adequate cross air ventilation to keep dust and/or
vapor levels below the PEL & TLV values. (See: Section V)
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Impervious gloves (rubber or neoprene) to avoid direct skin
contact.
EYE PROTECTION: Splash proof safety goggles
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Eyewash station, emergency shower.
SECTION XII - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:
Overheating may cause container to rupture. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment
Container must be kept closed and ventilation provided to prevent vapor concentration buildup. Store
in a cool, dry place. Do not breathe vapor of get liquid in eyes or on skin or clothing. Keep away from
heat or sources of ignition.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
Check all containers for leaks. Wear protective clothing as in Section XI. Avoid prolonged breathing
of vapors of contact with skin. Ensure that all equipment is grounded to prevent static discharge.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied due to solid or vapor residue. All hazard
precautions given in this data sheet must be observed for empty containers.
