EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Combustible
Moderate eye irritant.
Can cause skin irritation.
Harmful if swallowed.
HMIS RATING: HEALTH -- 2 FLAMMABILITY -- 2 REACTIVITY -- 0
See SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION for personal protective equipment
recommendations.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS BY ROUTE OF ENTRY
EYE: Can cause moderate irritation, tearing and reddening, but not likely to permanently injure eye tissue.
SKIN: Can cause skin irritation.
Component(s) may be absorbed through intact skin, but it is unlikely that harmful effects will occur unless contact is
prolonged, repeated, and extensive.
INHALATION: Can cause minor respiratory irritation. Inhalation of dusts produced during cutting, grinding or
sanding of this product may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Other possible symptoms include coughing or wheezing.
Inhalation of high concentrations may result in central nervous system (CNS) effects such as dizziness, weakness,
fatigue, nausea, headache, and lack of coordination.
INGESTION: Ingestion is not an anticipated route of exposure. Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to mouth, throat,
and stomach.
LONG-TERM (CHRONIC) HEALTH EFFECTS
TARGET ORGAN(S): Kidneys Central nervous system Lungs Blood
REGULATED CARCINOGEN STATUS:
Unless noted below, this product does not contain regulated levels of NTP, IARC, ACGIH, or OSHA listed
carcinogens.
Antimony trioxide
EXISTING HEALTH CONDITIONS AFFECTED BY EXPOSURE: Kidney disease; Lung disease; Blood
disorders (like anemia)
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes retracting eyelids often. Tilt the head to prevent
chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated eye. Get immediate medical attention.
IF ON SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
IF VAPORS INHALED: Remove to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms persist.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
IF SWALLOWED: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. Drink two glasses of water or
milk to dilute. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Induced vomiting may lead to aspiration of
the material into the lungs potentially causing chemical pneumonitis that may be fatal.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: 42C; 108F TCC
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not established
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (% in air): Not established
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (% in air): Not established
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors are heavier than air and can travel to a source of ignition
and flash back.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Persons exposed to products of combustion should wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide Sulfur containing gases
Chlorine containing gases
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPECIAL PROTECTION: Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow
personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of this
MSDS. Additional precautions may be necessary based on special
circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity
of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred. Evaporation of volatile
substances can lead to the displacement of air creating an environment that
can cause asphyxiation.
CLEAN-UP: Dike if necessary, contain spill with inert absorbent and transfer to containers
for disposal. Keep spilled product out of sewers, watersheds, or water
systems.
Shut off ignition sources; including electrical equipment and flames. Do not
allow smoking in the area.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
and/or face shield when the possibility exists for eye contact with
splashing or spraying liquid, or airborne material. Have an eye wash
station available.
SKIN PROTECTION: Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves.
GLOVES: Nitrile
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Respiratory protection may be required to avoid overexposure when
handling this product. Use a respirator if general room ventilation is
not available or sufficient to eliminate symptoms. NIOSH approved
air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge.
Respirators should be selected by and used following requirements
found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134).
VENTILATION: Use local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to
minimize exposures.
