Skin
system depression. Skin contact may produce burns.
Hazardous in case of eye contact (corrosive). Eye exposure may cause severe and permanent eye injury (blindness).
Eyes
Inhalation Hazardous in case of inhalation. Toxic by inhalation. Can cause central nervous system depression. May cause
irritation of upper respiratory tract, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and unconsciousness.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Respiratory
Ingestion Hazardous in case of ingestion. Toxic if swallowed. May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed.
The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, lungs, liver, heart, central nervous system (CNS),
Chronic Effects
pancreas. 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.

below their respective occupational exposure limits. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are proximal to the work-station location.
Personal Protection Protective Clothing (Pictograms)
Safety glasses.
Eyes
Hands and Body Chemical resistant gloves (Viton). Synthetic apron.
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.
