SECTION III - TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
SPECIAL NOTE: MSDS data pertains to the product as dispensed from the container. Adverse health effects would not be expected under recommended
conditions of use so long as prescribed safety precautions are practiced.
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE:
Inhalation of vapor can produce central nervous system depression characterized by dizziness headache nausea, cardiac and/or respiratory
depression,stupor unconsciouness and death,in extreme cases. Exposure to high concentrations of vapor by direct contact or inhalation can be irritating to
mucus membranes such as eyes and upper respiratory tract. Severe eye exposure to liquid can cause reversable eye damage. Skin contact may cause a
burning sensation and reddening of the skin. Introduction of solvent to the lungs, as in aspiration of vomitus fluids may cause chemical pneumonia.
Inhalation of aerosol mist may produce chemical pneumonia.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
Repeated or prolonged contact by inhalation or skin absorption may produce liver or kidney damage or damage to the central nervous system,
characterized by tingling or numbness in the extremities, blurred vision or confusion. Skin, which is defatted by repeated exposure to solvents, is more
susceptible to irritation, infection, and dermatitis. Although several agencies including NTP and OSHA classify trichloroethylene as non-carcinogenic,
IARC has listed it as a liver carcinogen. The results were observed when trichloroethylene was given orally to mice, but were not observed in rats or
hamsters. Human relevance is questionable since the metabolism mechanism in mice does not apply in humans.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Eyes, Skin, Inh.
SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN: Wash contaminated skin thoroughly with soap or a mild detergent. Apply a skin cream with lanolin. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Get medical attention at once.
INHALE: Move exposed person to fresh air at once. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
INGEST: This route of exposure is not likely due to product nature.

Product name: ZEP-X-OUT II
Product No. 0195 Material Safety Data Sheet
SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION:
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear viton gloves or use gloves with demonstrated resistance to the ingredients in this product.
EYE PROTECTION: Use tight-fitting safety glasses. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this material.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: When exposure levels exceed the PEL/TLV, use a self- contained or supplied air respirator.
VENTILATION: Provide local exhaust/ventilation as needed to keep concentration of vapors below exposure limits (PEL/TLV).
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Observe safety precautions in Section 6 during clean-up. Large spills are unlikely due to packaging. Spill may be absorbed on an inert absorbent material
(e.g. Zep-O-Zorb), and placed in a suitable container for disposal. Wash area thoroughly with a detergent solution.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Product is consumed in use. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate spent containers. Large numbers of aerosol containers may require handling as a
hazardous waste. Check local, provincial, and federal regulations for proper disposal methods in your area.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING AND STORING:
Do not store at temperatures above 120F (39C) or in direct sunlight. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Do not breathe spray mists or vapors.
Vapors are heavier than air and will accumulate at low points. Ventilation should include floor level exhausting. Keep out of the reach of children Clothing
or shoes which become contaminated with substance should be removed promptly and not reworn until thoroughly cleaned.
