Routes of Entry Dermal contact. Eye contact. Inhalation.
Acute Effects
Fire Hazard 0
Causes skin irritation. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening or,
Skin Reactivity 0
occasionally, blistering. Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Liquid in eye may cause irritation with possible damage if not rinsed immediately.
Eyes Personal Protection B
Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering and itching.
Inhalation Can cause central nervous system (CNS) 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 over-exposure Heart (Cardiac).
Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage.
NOTE: MSDS data pertains to the product as delivered in the original shipping container(s). Risk of adverse health effects are lessened by
following all prescribed safety precautions, including use of proper personal protective equipment.
Tetrachloroethylene: Classified 2A (Probable for human) by IARC, Group 2 (Reasonably Anticipated
Carcinogenic Effects
To Be Human Carcinogen) by NTP.
Trichloroethylene: Classified Proven by OSHA; Classified 2A (Probable for human) by IARC, Group
2 (Reasonably Anticipated To Be Human Carcinogen) by NTP
The substance may be toxic to kidneys, liver, central nervous system (CNS), ears. Repeated or
Chronic Effects
prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. May be harmful by inhalation
after often repeated exposure. Defatting to the skin. Prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis
with drying and cracking of skin.
See Toxicological Information (section 11)
Section 4. First Aid Measures
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Check for and
Eye Contact
remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention immediately.
Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
