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:
This product is not sufficiently volatile to constitute a significant inhalation
hazard. Severe overexposure to concentrated vapor may produce mild central ner-
vous system depression, characterized by headache and stupor. Introduction of
solvents, as in aspiration of vomitus fluids, may produce chemical pneumonia.
One of the ingredients in this product has caused sensitization reactions in a
small percentage of the general population.
CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
There are no known effects from chronic exposure to this product.
None of the hazardous ingredients are listed as carcinogens by IARC, NTP, & OSHA

FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
SKIN : Immediately flush contaminated skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
EYES : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, oc-
casionally lifting upper and lower lids. Get medical attention at once.
INHALE: Move exposed person to fresh air. If irritation persists,
get medical attention promptly.
INGEST: This route of exposure is not likely due to product nature.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING : The use of neoprene, nitrile or natural rubber gloves is
strongly recommended, especially for prolonged contact.
EYE PROTECTION : Use of tight-fitting safety glasses or goggles is stron-
gly recommended, especially when wearing contact lenses.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Respiratory protection may be unnecessary since product
does not give off significant quantities of vapor.
VENTILATION : Provide local exhaust/ventilation as needed to keep con-
centration of vapors below exposure limits (PEL/TLV).

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Observe safety precautions in sections 4 & 9 during spill clean-up. Large
spills are unlikely due to packaging. Spill may be absorbed on an inert absorb-
ent material (eg Zep-O-Zorb), and placed in a suitable container for disposal.
Wash area thoroughly with a detergent solution and rinse well with water.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Product is consumed in use. Do not crush, puncture or incinerate spent contain-
ers. Large numbers of aerosol containers may require handling as a hazardous
waste, but in most states total hazardous waste quantities less than 220 lbs per
month may allow disposal in a chemical or industrial waste landfill. Consult
local, state and federal agencies for the proper disposal method in your area.

NOTICE
Thank you for your interest in, and use of, Zep products. Zep Manufacturing Co.
is pleased to be of service to you by supplying this Material Safety Data Sheet
for your files. Zep Manufacturing is concerned for your health and safety. Zep
products can be used safely with proper protective equipment and proper handling
practices consistent with label instructions and the MSDS. Before using any Zep
product, be sure to read the complete label and the Material Safety Data Sheet.
As a further word of caution, Zep wishes to advise that serious accidents have
resulted from the misuse of "emptied" containers. "Empty" containers retain
residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT pressurize, cut,
weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose such containers to heat, flame, or
other sources of ignition; they may explode or develop harmful vapors and pos-
sibly cause injury or death. Clean empty containers by triple rinsing with water
or an appropriate solvent. Empty containers must be sent to a drum reconditioner
before reuse.

CHRONIC EFFECT: Adverse effects that are most likely to occur from repeated
exposure over a long period of time.
EST D PEL/TLV: This estimated, time-weighted average, exposure limit, developed
by using a formula provided by the ACGIH, pertains to airborne concentrations
from the product as a whole. This value should serve as guide for providing safe
workplace conditions to nearly all workers.
HMIS CODES: Hazardous Material Identification System - a rating system developed
by the National Paint and Coating Association for estimating the hazard
potential of a chemical under normal workplace conditions. These risk estimates
are indicated by a numerical rating given in each of three hazard areas
(Health/Flammability/Reactivity) ranging from a low of zero to a high of 4. The
presence of a chronic hazard is indicated with a yes. Consult HMIS training
guides for Personal Protection letter codes which indicate necessary protective
equipment.
