EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Clear yellow water thin liquid with a mild odor. HMIS Rating
Slight to moderate eye irritant. Health 1
Slight skin Irritant. Fire 0
No significant health or environmental effects. Reactivity 0
associated with this material. Not a fire Hazard.
Section V - Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizing or reducing agents,
(materials to avoid) strong acid.
Hazardous Decomposition or byproducts: None
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid breathing the vapors at heated
temperature. Avoid contact to eyes and
skin. No special ventilation is required
unless mists are generated, then use local
exhaust.
Section VI - Health/Hazard Data
Protection:
Generally/Applicable Control Measures And Procedures:
Keep container tightly closed.
Do Not Mix With Strong Oxidants And Acids.
No special ventilation is required unless mists are generated, then use local exhaust.
Health Hazards: (Acute and Chronic):
Optima - 100 GPTM Aqueous Degreaser is a slight skin irritant and slight to moderate eye
irritant. However, this is not a skin sensitizer. Effects will be minimized via washing with water.
INHALATION: Slight to moderate hazard for usual Industrial handling. Prolonged inhaling of
mist may irritate upper respiratory tract (according to raw material suppliers).
INGESTION: Would not be considered toxic. Ingestion of small amounts (tablespoonfuls) are
not likely to cause abdominal discomfort or injury. Ingestion of larger amounts may cause
abdominal discomfort or injury. SKIN CONTACT: May cause varying severalties of irritation
from repeated, prolonged, or occluded contact.

Section VI - Health/Hazard Data (continued)
Carcinogens: None of the components in this product are listed by IARC,
OSHA, NTP, EPA or ACGIH as a carcinogen.
Emergency and First Aid:
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT: Wear natural latex or natural rubber gloves to protect your skin. After
excessive exposure to skin, rinse immediately with water. Wash contaminated clothing before
reuse. EYE CONTACT: This product is completely water-based and non-corrosive. In case
of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water until the irritation stops. Call a
physician if the irritation persists. INGESTION: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.
Immediately give two glasses of water, or activated charcoal slurry. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: To prepare activated charcoal slurry suspend 50 g activated
charcoal in 400 ml water in plastic bottle and shake well. Administer 5 ml/kg, or 350 ml for an
average adult.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Respirators - None under normal use conditions (operating temperature range of
68 - 160 篎). Where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, a
NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with a organic vapor cartridge or canister may
be permissible. Under certain circumstances, protection provided by air purifying respirators is
limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an
uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air
purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Protective Gloves - Impervious gloves recommended for prolonged contact with solution
during product use or for cleaning up spills. Eye /Face Protection - Wear coverall chemical
splash goggles when the possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying of
material. Protective Clothing or Equipment - Normal or full cover clothing is sufficient.
Impermeable apron to protect clothes where splashing of solution at high pressure (65 Psi or
higher) cannot be avoided. Protective Work/Hygienic Practices - No special requirements
with respect to chemical exposure other than those noted above. Specific requirements with
respect to equipment and specific applications are the responsibility of the user.

Steps To Take If Material Is Released/Spilled/Leaks:
NOTE: Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean up. Will create
extremely slippery conditions if spilled. close off area of spill to traffic. Exercise proper
cautions during clean-up. Be sure cleaned areas is dry or slip-free before reopening to traffic.
Large spills should be contained and treated to neutral pH, and disposed of in suitable waste
containers. Flush small quantities to sewer or waste water system, or pick up with absorbent
material for disposal (see Section VII). Flush to sewer only as local regulation permit. Prevent
eye and skin contact by wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (See Section VI).
Section VII - Disposal Considerations
WASTE DISPOSAL: Dispose of with liquid waste according to Federal, State/Provincial and
local laws and regulations. Dispose of spilled or waste product and other large amounts in
compliance with all Federal, State/Provincial and local laws and regulations. Depending on
size, rinse containers and either discard in trash, recycle, or dispose of in licensed facility in
accordance with existing local regulations and programs. Regulations may vary in different
locations. Waste characterizations and compliance with applicable laws are the responsibility
solely of the waste generator. GSP HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE MANAGEMENT
