Section 3. Hazards Identification
Acute Effects Routes of EntryAbsorbed through skin. Inhalation.
Skin Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). Non-sensitizer for skin. Skin inflammation is characterized by
itching, scaling, or reddening.
Eyes Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant). Liquid in eye may cause irritation with possible damage if not rinsed
immediately.
Inhalation Slightly hazardous in case of inhalation (lung irritant). Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation.
Prolonged exposure may cause narcotic effect. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Respiratory
Ingestion No data on acute toxicity of the product when ingested. Unlikely in this form
Chronic Effects Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin and cause irritation. May cause headache, nausea or
weakness in case of long term exposure. The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, liver.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.
