SKIN CONTACT SKIN ABSORPTION EYE CONTACT
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, . Hazardous in case of skin contact
(corrosive), of eye contact (corrosive). Slightly hazardous in case of inhalation (lung sensitizer). Inflammation of the eye
is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or,
occasionally, blistering. Skin: Causes severe skin irritation and skin burns. May be harmful if absorbed through skin.
Eyes: Causes severe eye irritation and eye burns. Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. Causes severe irritation of the
respiratory tract and mucous membranes. May cause chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May affect respiration
(dyspnea), sense organs, and metabolism (weight loss, metabolic acidosis)). Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.
Causes irritation of the digestive tract. May cause digestive (gastrointestinal) tract burns. May affect behavior
(somnolence or general depressed activity), urinary system (kidneys - oxalate crystals present in renal tubules),
metabolism (weight loss, metabolic acidosis), and blood.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Classified Development toxin [POSSIBLE] [Glycolic acid, 70%].
The substance is toxic to lungs. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion. Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive), of eye
contact (corrosive), of inhalation (lung corrosive). May cause adverse reproductive effects (fetotoxicity and
developmental abnormalities) according to animal studies. No human studies information for humans was found.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS (SPECIFY eg. VENTILATION, ENCLOSED PROCESS)
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their
respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station
location.
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE
Dilute wit water or absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. If
necessary neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate Finish cleaning by spreading water on the
contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.
WASTE DISPOSAL
According to local, provincial, and federal regulations.
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT
Keep locked up.. Keep container dry. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Never add water to this
product. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice
immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such
as oxidizing agents, alkalis, moisture.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS

SECTION 8 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SPECIFIC MEASURES
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
SKIN
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water
may be used. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical
attention immediately.
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes
EYES
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention
immediately.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
INHALATION
oxygen. Get medical attention immediately
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by
INGESTION
mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician
