Hazardous by the following route of exposure: of skin contact (corrosive, permeator). Causes
Skin Reactivity 0
skin burns. Contact results in immediate skin absorption which may cause hypocalcemia
(calcium loss) This effect may be delayed for several hours after exposure. Severe over-
exposure by absorption can result in death. Get medical attention immediately.
Hazardous by the following route of exposure: of eye contact (corrosive). Eye contact can

result in corneal damage or blindness.
Inhalation Hazardous by the following route of exposure: of inhalation. May be fatal if inhaled. DO
NOT breathe vapors or spray mist. Vapors and aerosol can produce mucous membrane, nose
and throat irritation. May cause inflammation and pulmonary edema.
Ingestion May be fatal if swallowed. May cause burns to mouth, throat and stomach. May cause
impaired kidney function.
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.
