Section 3. Hazards Identification HMIS
Health 2
Acute Effects Routes of Entry Dermal contact. Eye contact. Inhalation.
Fire Hazard 3
Ingestion.
Skin Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator). Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Reactivity 0
Direct contact may cause irritation and redness. Skin inflammation is characterized by
itching, scaling, or reddening.
Eyes Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant). Inflammation of the eye is characterized by Personal Protection B
redness, watering, and itching.
Inhalation Hazardous in case of inhalation. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists. Over-exposure by
inhalation may cause respiratory irritation. Can cause central nervous system depression.
Ingestion Very hazardous in case of ingestion. Toxic if swallowed. May be fatal if swallowed. If
ingested, call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately.
NOTE: MSDS data pertains to the product as delivered in the original shipping container(s). Risk of adverse health effects are lessened by
following all prescribed safety precautions, including use of proper personal protective equipment.
Carcinogenic Effects Ingredients: Not listed as carcinogen by OSHA, NTP or IARC.
Chronic Effects The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, the nervous system, the reproductive system, liver,
upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes, central nervous system (CNS). Inhalation and ingestion may cause
drowsiness, dizziness, incoordination and other effects of intoxication. Overexposure of this product by
inhalation or absorption can produce central nervous system depression resulting in headache, nausea
and/or dizziness. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.
Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an
accumulation in one or many human organs.

Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15
minutes, keeping eyelids open. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation
develops.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion If ingested, call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can
enter lungs and cause damage. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If
swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.

Flammable liquid
Flammability
Fire Hazard Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Vapors may accumulate in low or
confined areas, travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Runoff to
sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Fire-Fighting Procedures Use DRY chemicals, CO2, water spray or foam. Cool containing vessels
with water jet in order to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or
explosion. Do not release runoff from fire to sewers or waterways.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Clean up Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eliminate all ignition sources. Dilute with
water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by
grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and
clothing. DO NOT swallow. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists. Use only with adequate ventilation. Observe
label precautions. Do not reuse product container. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly
closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Keep away from food,
drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep out of the reach of children.
Section 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Personal Protection Protective Clothing (Pictograms)
Eyes Safety glasses.
Body Nitrile gloves. Neoprene gloves. Rubber gloves.
Respiratory Use with adequate ventilation. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne
concentrations of vapors below their respective occupational exposure limits. Wear appropriate respirator when
ventilation is inadequate.
