Emergency Overview
WARNING --Flammable aerosol. Contents are under pressure. Vapor and aerosol may cause flash fire. Vapors
and aerosol may travel along the ground to some distant source of ignition and flash back. High temperatures or
exposure to sunlight can cause rupturing of cans. Product is an aerosol spray ethanol mixture. This product may
be irritating to the eyes, skin, gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system. Overexposure can cause intoxication,
characterized by central nervous system depression symptoms such as nausea, incoordination and drowsiness.
Severe overexposure can lead to liver damage, birth defects and developmental problems. Direct contact with
aerosol propellant may cause frostbite.
Potential Health Effects: Eyes
This product may cause irritation to the eyes. Direct contact with aerosol propellant may cause frostbite.
Potential Health Effects: Skin

General Fire Hazards
See Section 9 for Flammability Properties.
Serious fire hazard. Pressurized containers may rupture or explode at elevated temperatures. Vapors and aerosol
may travel along the ground to some distant source of ignition and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Oxides of carbon.
Extinguishing Media
