SECTION III - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
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 (diluted) so long as prescribed safety precautions are practiced.
ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Overexposure to the vapors from this product may produce mucous membrane irritation, particularly of the eye and respiratory tract.
Overexposure to vapors may also produce mild central nervous system depression characterized by headache, dizziness, nausea, and
stupor, leading to unconsciousness in extreme cases. Introduction of solvents, as in aspiration of vomitus fluid, may produce chemical
pneumonia. Existing respiratory disorders and lung diseases may be aggravated by inhalation of vapors. Ingredients in this product
may aggravate existing skin, eye, or respiratory disorders.
CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Repeated or prolonged inhalation exposure may produce reversible lung damage. Skin which is repeatedly defatted by contact with solvents
may be more susceptible to irritation, infection, and dermatitis. None of the ingredients are listed as carcinogens by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.
EST'D PEL/TLV: Not established
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inh, Skin.
HMIS CODES: HEALTH 2; FLAM 2; REACT 0; PERS. PROTECT B; CHRONIC HAZ YES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
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: Aspiration hazard - do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hip level. Get emergency medical attention
immediately.
SECTION IV - SPECIAL PRECAUTION INFORMATION
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear neoprene, nitrile, or natural rubber gloves or gloves with proven resistance to the ingredients listed.
EYE PROTECTION: Use of tight-fitting safety glasses or goggles is strongly recommended, especially when wearing contact lenses.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If ventilation is inadequate, wear a properly fitting MSHA or OSHA-approved respirator.
VENTILATION: Ventilation should be equivalent to outdoors. Use exhaust fans and open windows in enclosed spaces.

SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING AND STORING
Store tightly closed container in a dry area at temps. between 40-120 degrees F. Combustible! Store and use away from heat, sparks, open
flame, or any source of ignition. Keep product away from skin and eyes. Do not breathe spray mists or vapors. Clothing or shoes which
become contaminated with substance should be removed promptly and not reworn until thoroughly cleaned. Vapors are heavier than air and
will accumulate at low points. Ventilation should include floor level exhausting. Keep out of the reach of children.
