Section 3. Hazards Identification
Routes of Entry Absorbed through skin. Inhalation.
Acute Effects
Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). Non-sensitizer for skin. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching,
Skin
scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.
Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant). Liquid in eye may cause irritation with possible damage if not rinsed
Eyes
immediately.
Inhalation Hazardous in case of inhalation (lung irritant). Material is irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory
tract. 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.
Prolonged repeated exposure may cause chemical pneumontitis. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure:
Respiratory, Heart (Cardiac).
Ingestion Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage.
The substance may be toxic to kidneys, liver, central nervous system (CNS), and heart. Repeated or
Chronic Effects
prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Defatting to the skin.
Prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis with drying and cracking of skin.
Additional information : See Toxicological Information (section 11)
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get
Eye Contact
medical attention.
Skin Contact Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get
medical attention if irritation develops.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
Inhalation
oxygen. Get medical attention.
Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage. Do NOT induce vomiting unless
Ingestion
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. Get medical attention immediately.

ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Watch for
accumulation in low confined areas. Vapor may cause flash fire. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose containers to heat or sources of ignition.
Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store above

49掳C (120.2掳F). Do not puncture or incinerate. Keep out of the reach of children.
Section 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors
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. It is generally recognized that contact lenses should not be
Eyes
worn when working with chemicals because contact lenses may contribute
to the severity of an eye injury.
Hands and Body Chemical resistant gloves. (Viton)
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.
