Section 3. Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: May cause eye, skin and respiratory system irritation.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Eye. Skin. Inhalation (breathing).
Eye Contact: Can cause mild irritation. Skin Contact: Irritation can occur following prolonged or repeated contact. Inhalation (breathing): Processing
vapors can possibly cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract. Ingestion (swallowing): Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation. Aggravation of
Existing Conditions: A review of available data does not identify worsening of any existing medical conditions.
Carcinogenicity: ACGIH IARC NTP OSHA
Fluorescent Dye No No No No
Lubricant Oil No No No No
HMIS HAZARD RATING: Health: 1, Fire: 1, Reactivity: 0.
Section 4. First-Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. If irritation develops, consult a physician. Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and water. If
irritation develops, consult a physician. Inhalation (breathing): Remove to fresh air. If symptoms develop, seek immediate medical attention. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. Ingestion (swallowing): Call a physician immediately. Induce vomiting only as directed by medical personnel.

Section 5. Fire-Fighting Measures
Flash Point: >400癋 (204癈); Test Method: Not tested; Explosive Limit: LEL(%): Not Determined; UEL(%): Not Determined; Autoignition
Temperature: Not Determined. Unusual Fire and Hazardous Combustion and Decomposition Products: Smoke, soot, and toxic/irritating fumes (i.e.,
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc.) Oxides of nitrogen. Fire and Explosion Hazards: May liberate irritating or toxic vapors during combustion or
decomposition. Extinguishing Media: Small fires: use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, halon, water spray, or foam. For large fires: use water spray, fog, or
alcohol foam. Fire-Fighting Procedures/Equipment: Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to the products of combustion should be equipped
with NIOSH-approved, positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Containment and Recovery: Contain with absorbent material, such as clay, soil or any commercially available absorbent. Shovel reclaimed dye and
absorbent into a recovery or salvage drums for disposal. Disposal: Either incinerate or land fill in accordance with applicable local, state and federal
regulations.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and direct sunlight. Always keep containers tightly closed.
Personal Hygiene: Wash thoroughly after handling, especially before eating, drinking, smoking, or using restroom facilities. Empty Container
Precautions: Do not reuse empty container for any purpose.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls/Ventilation: Maintain airborne concentrations below the established exposure limits (see PEL and TLV in section 2) by providing
adequate ventilation. General (dilution) ventilation should be acceptable. Eye Protection: Wear safety goggles. An eye wash facility should be readily
available. Skin Protection: Wear protective clothing and appropriate impervious gloves. Respiratory Protection: Avoid breathing vapor and/or mist. If
occupational exposure limits are exceeded wear NIOSH/OSHA approved equipment. High airborne concentrations may necessitate the use of self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or a supplied air respirator. Respiratory protection programs must be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134.
