3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
The product is a black, viscous liquid with a chlorinated or ether like odor. This product is harmful by inhalation, when in
contact with the skin, eyes and if it is swallowed. Probable cancer hazard. Overexposure may cause damage to the liver
and kidneys.
EYE: This product may cause irritation to the eyes. Contact may cause stinging, watering, redness, swelling, and eye
damage. Vapors may also produce eye irritation. Chronic eye exposure to this product may cause irreversible eye damage.
SKIN: This product may cause irritation to the skin. Prolonged and/or repeated skin contact with this product may cause
irritation, defatting of skin and dermatitis. Confinement of this material on the skin may result in chemical burns. This
product may be harmful if it is absorbed through the skin.
INGESTION: Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May produce central
nervous system depression. If aspirated (liquid enters the lung), the product may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs
and can result in chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema/ hemorrhage.

INHALATION: This product may be harmful by inhalation. Overexposure can cause central nervous system depression
with symptoms of headache, dizziness, stupor, loss of consciousness or death. Exposure to high concentrations can cause
irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest and death. Overexposure can result in adverse effects on the liver, nervous system and
other internal organs.
4. FIRST AID
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, while holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention at
once.
SKIN: For skin contact flush with large amounts of water while removing contaminated clothing. Wash affected area
with mild soap and water. If irritation persists, get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.
INHALATION: If inhaled, immediately remove the affected person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Chlorinated hydrocarbons may sensitize the heart to epinephrine and other circulating
catecholamines so that arrhythmias may occur. Careful consideration of this potential adverse effect should precede
administration of epinephrine or other cardiac stimulants and the selection of bronchodilators.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Material is heavier than water and
has limited water solubility. It will collect on the lowest surface.
CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES: Eliminate ignition sources including sources of electrical, static or frictional sparks.
Ventilate the contaminated area. Absorb spill with inert material. Shovel material into properly labeled closed metal
containers for disposal. Place in non-leaking containers for immediate disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace
residue. Do not allow the spilled product to enter public drainage system or open watercourses.
EVACUATION PROCEDURES: Persons not wearing appropriate protective equipment should be excluded from area
of spill until clean up has been completed.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES: Follow all Local, State, Federal and Provincial regulations for disposal.
Notify National Response Center (800-424-8802) of uncontained releases to the environment in excess of the Reportable
Quantity (RQ). For all transportation accidents, call CHEMTREC at 800-424-9300.
7. HANDLING & STORAGE
HANDLING: Do not get in contact with skin and eyes. Use this product with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged or
repeated breathing of vapors. Avoid dust or mist formation. Wash thoroughly after handling. DO NOT eat, drink or smoke
in product area.
Do not reuse the empty container. Do not cut or weld on empty drums. Sufficient vapors from residues may be present to
cause explosion and serious injury and/or death. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and
promptly returned to a drum reconditioner, or promptly disposed of.
STORAGE: Keep packaged in original, labeled containers until use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store this
product in airtight containers away from sources of heat and light. Ground all equipment to prevent accumulation of static
charge. Store away from incompatible materials. Do not remove or deface label. Do not reuse container without recycling
or reconditioning in accordance with any Federal, Provincial, State or local laws. Do not use cutting or welding torches,
open flames, or electric arcs on empty or full containers.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain worker exposure below
exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTRECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses. Chemical goggles and/ or face shields should be worn, when
splashing is a possibility. Contact lenses should not be exposed. If vapor exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face
respirator.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use impervious gloves. Use of impervious apron and boots are recommended.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If recommended exposure limits are exceeded, a NIOSH-approved, continuous flow
supplied air-respirator, hood or helmet is acceptable. A NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus or supplied-
air respirator, with full-face piece, is required for vapor concentrations above 625 ppm. A NIOSH approved self-contained
positive pressure breathing apparatus, with full-face piece, is required for spills and/ or emergencies.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE TOXICITY
This product is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract and causes drowsiness, dizziness and nausea. Ventricular
arrhythmias and very rapid respiration have been observed in individuals exposed to 15,000 ppm. High concentrations or
prolonged overexposure can cause unconsciousness and death.
CHRONIC TOXICITY
Chronic overexposure to the ingredient Trichloroethylene has caused toxic effects in the liver, Lymphatic system (one
species), kidney and cardiovascular system of experimental animals. Humans exposed to Trichloroethylene can become
intolerant to ethyl alcohol, with small quantities causing inebriation and skin blotches. Reports have been published
associating increased incidences of scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) with exposure to Trichloroethylene. The finding of
chronic toxic effects in lab animals may indicate toxicity to humans. Overexposure should be avoided; failure to do so
could result in illness, injury or even death depending on the level and duration of exposure.
CARCINOGENICITY
This product contains component(s) that may be listed by ACGIH, IARC, NIOSH, NTP OR OSHA.
Component Carcinogenicity
Trichloroethylene (79-01-6)

NIOSH: potential occupational carcinogen (in presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)
IARC: Monograph 65, 1996 (Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans))
1,2-Butylene oxide (106-88-7)
