4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data Sheet with you when calling Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison
contol center or doctor, or going for treatment.
If swallowed: Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment
Ingestion:
advice. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so after calling 800-
888-8372 or by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If in eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses,
Eye Contact:
if present, after 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center
or doctor for treatment advice.
Skin Contact: If on skin or clothing: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-
20 minutes. Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
If inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial
Inhalation:
respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or
doctor for further treatment advice.
Notes to Physician
There is no specific antidote if this product is ingested.
Treat symptomatically.
Skin contact paresthesia effects (itching, tingling, burning or numbness) are transient, lasting up to 24 hours. Treat
symptomatically.
Medical Condition Likely to be Aggravated by Exposure
None known.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and Explosion
Flash Point (Test Method): > 212掳F (Setaflash)
Flammable Limits (% in Air): Lower: % Not Applicable Upper: % Not Applicable
Autoignition Temperature: Not Available
Flammability: Not Applicable
Unusual Fire, Explosion and Reactivity Hazards
During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
In Case of Fire
Use dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus. Evacuate nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of
combustion. Prevent use of contaminated buildings, area, and equipment until decontaminated. Water runoff can cause
environmental damage. If water is used to fight fire, dike and collect runoff.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Control the spill at its source. Contain the spill to prevent from spreading or contaminating soil or from entering sewage
and drainage systems or any body of water. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in Protective Equipment
Section. Cover entire spill with absorbing material and place into compatible disposal container. Scrub area with hard
water detergent (e.g. commercial products such as Tide, Joy, Spic and Span). Pick up wash liquid with additional
absorbent and place into compatible disposal container. Once all material is cleaned up and placed in a disposal
container, seal container and arrange for disposition.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and domestic animals. Do not store food, beverages
or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco use, and cosmetic application in areas where there is
a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Product Name: Page: 2
DEMAND CS
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ARE INTENDED FOR
THE MANUFACTURE, FORMULATION, PACKAGING AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND/OR ON-FARM APPLICATIONS CONSULT THE PRODUCT LABEL.
Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for
Ingestion:
exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
Eye Contact: Where eye contact is likely, use chemical splash goggles.
Skin Contact: Where contact is likely, wear chemical-resistant (such as nitrile or butyl) gloves, coveralls, socks and
chemical-resistant footwear. For overhead exposure, wear chemical-resistant headgear.
Stringent housekeeping measures are necessary to prevent translocation of the material from contaminated
work surfaces to uncontaminated surfaces (railings, doors, etc.). Unprotected contact with such
translocated material can result in paresthesia effects (see Section 11).
Inhalation: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels
below exposure limits. A NIOSH-certified combination air-purifying respirator with an N, P or R 95 or HE
class filter and an organic vapor cartridge may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne
concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is
limited. Use a pressure demand atmosphere-supplying respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled
release, exposure levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators
may not provide adequate protection.

Other Toxicity Information
In humans, contact with exposed skin may result in temporary itching, tingling, burning or numbness, called paresthesia.
The effect may result from splash, aerosol, or hot vapor contact, or transfer to the face from contaminated gloves and
hands. The symptoms normally disappear within 24 hours. Face and genital areas are especially susceptible to this effect.
Paresthesia involving the face is also known as "subjective facial sensation" or SFS.
Toxicity of Other Components
1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene (
Inhalation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene at high concentrations can cause central nervous system depression,
respiratory tract irritation, asphyxiation, cardiac stress and coma. Effects of chronic exposure to this solvent can
include blood disorders (anemia, leukopenia) and kidney or liver damage.
Cumene (< 1%)
Exposure to cumene vapors may cause irritation to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Cumene may also cause
headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other central nervous system effects.
Prolonged exposure to high concentrations (>100 PPM) may result in liver, kidney or lung damage.
Petroleum Solvent
The supplier reports that high vapor/aerosol concentrations (> 1000 ppm) are irritating to the eyes and the
respiratory tract, may cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other central
nervous system effects.
Xylene (< 1%)
Inhalation of xylene at high concentrations can cause central nervous system depression, respiratory tract
irritation, asphyxiation, cardiac stress and coma.
