Supplier (United States).
TWA: 100 ppm 8 hour(s).
Section 3. Hazards Identification HMIS
Health 2
Acute Effects Routes of Entry Dermal contact. Eye contact. Inhalation.
Fire Hazard 0
Skin Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator). Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Reactivity 0
Direct contact may cause irritation and redness. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin
and cause irritation.
Eyes Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant). Inflammation of the eye is characterized by Personal Protection n,p
redness, watering, and itching.
Inhalation Hazardous in case of inhalation (lung irritant). Over-exposure by inhalation may cause
respiratory irritation. Can cause central nervous system depression. Inhalation of
vapor/aerosol concentrations above the recommended exposure limits causes headaches,
drowsiness, and nausea, and may lead to unconsciousness or death.
Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage.
Carcinogenic Effects Ingredients: Not listed as carcinogen by OSHA, NTP or IARC.
Chronic Effects Inhalation or absorption of spray mists or vapors may cause central nervous system depression
characterized by headache, dizziness, nausea, stupor, weakness and/or numbness and tingling in the
extremities (medical term - peripheral neuropathy). The substance may be toxic to kidneys, lungs,
liver, peripheral nervous system, central nervous system (CNS). Repeated or prolonged exposure to
the substance can produce target organs damage.
See Toxicological Information (section 11)
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.
Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing 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 Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage. Do NOT induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent
aspiration. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,
tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention immediately.

Non-flammable.
Flammability
Fire Hazard Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas, travel considerable distance to source of
ignition and flash back. Vapor will form a flammable mixture in a narrow concentration range
of 4.6% to 8.5% by volume in air. May emit toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Fire-Fighting Procedures Use an extinguishing agent suitable for surrounding fires. Do not release
runoff from fire to sewers or waterways. Fire-fighters should wear proper
protective equipment.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Clean up Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Absorb with an inert material and put the
spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Do not store or consume food, drink or tobacco in areas where they may become contaminated with this
material. Empty containers may contain harmful, flammable/combustible or explosive residue or vapors. Do not cut,
grind, drill, weld, reuse or dispose of containers unless adequate precautions are taken against these hazards.
Observe label precautions. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition source. Keep container in a cool, well-
ventilated area. Store away from incompatible materials. Keep container tightly closed. 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 Splash goggles.
Body Gloves: Protective gloves should be worn under normal conditions of use.
Recommended: viton. Do not Use Natural rubber (latex)
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.
