WARNING 2 0 0
CAUSES EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION.
HARMFUL IF INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN.
NOTE: MSDS data pertains to the product as delivered in the original shipping container(s). Risk of adverse effects are lessened by following all
prescribed safety precautions, including the use of proper personal protective equipment.
Dermal contact. Eye contact. Inhalation.
Acute Effects Routes of Entry

Eyes
Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Direct contact may cause irritation
Skin
and redness. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin and cause irritation.
Inhalation Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation. Can cause central nervous system
(CNS) depression. Inhalation of vapor/aerosol concentrations above the recommended exposure
limits causes headaches, drowsiness and nausea.
Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage.
Inhalation of spray mists or vapors may cause central nervous system depression characterized by
Chronic effects
headache, dizziness, nausea, stupor, weakness and/or numbness and tingling in the extremities
(medical term - peripheral neuropathy). The substance may be toxic to kidneys, lungs, liver,
peripheral nervous system and central nervous system (CNS).
Ingredients: Not listed as carcinogen by OSHA, NTP or IARC.
