Section 2: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
CAUTION: Flammable. Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed. Eye Irritant. Contents Under Pressure.
As defined by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, this product is hazardous.
Appearance & Odor: Clear liquid, petroleum odor
Potential Health Effects:
ACUTE EFFECTS:
EYE: May cause moderate eye irritation.
SKIN: May cause skin irritation. Prolonged contact may allow material to be absorbed through the skin.
INHALATION: May cause respiratory irritation. Overexposure to vapors may lead to central nervous system
effects such as headache and drowsiness, followed by dizziness and nausea.
INGESTION: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort or irritation of the throat. Aspiration of this material into the
lungs, either while swallowing or vomiting, may lead to chemical pneumonitis, which could be
fatal. Signs of lung involvement include increased respiratory rate, increased heart rate, and a
bluish discoloration of the skin.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: Repeated skin contact may cause contact dermatitis.
TARGET ORGANS: Central nervous system
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: pre-existing skin conditions
See Section 11 for toxicology and carcinogenicity information on product ingredients.

Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area with soap and water. Call a physician if
irritation persists. Wash contaminated clothing prior to re-use.
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. Keep person calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting due to aspiration hazard. If vomiting occurs, lower head below knees to
avoid aspiration. Seek immediate medical attention.
Note to Physicians: Treat symptomatically.
Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
This product is flammable in accordance with aerosol flammability definitions.
Flammable Properties:
(See 16 CFR 1500.3(c)(6) ).
Flash Point: 205癋 / 96癈 (PMCC) Upper Explosive Limit: 5.0
Autoignition Temperature: ND Lower Explosive Limit: 0.7
Fire and Explosion Data:
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishers appropriate for a Class B fire.
Products of Combustion: Oxides of carbon
Explosion Hazards: Aerosol containers, when exposed to heat from fire, may build pressure and explode.
Protection of Fire-Fighters: Firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus for
protection against suffocation and possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye and
skin protection should be provided. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool
and to knock down vapors which may result from product decomposition.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Environmental Precautions: Take precautions to prevent contamination of ground and surface waters. Do not flush into
sewers or storm drains.
Methods for Containment & Clean-up: Dike area to contain spill. Ventilate the area with fresh air. If in confined space
or limited air circulation area, clean-up workers should wear appropriate

respiratory protection. Recover or absorb spilled material using an absorbent
designed for chemical spills. Place used absorbents into proper waste
containers.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures: Avoid breathing vapors. Use outside or with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin
and clothing. Do not use near sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition. Use caution
around energized equipment. The metal container will conduct electricity if it contacts a live
source. This may result in injury to the user from electrical shock and/or flash fire. For product
use instructions, please see the product label.
Storage Procedures: Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Aerosol cans must be maintained below 120 F to
prevent cans from rupturing.
Aerosol Storage Level: III

Controls and Protection:
Engineering Controls: Area should have ventilation to provide fresh air. Local exhaust ventilation is generally
preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at the source, preventing
dispersion into the general work area. Use mechanical means if necessary to maintain vapor
levels below the exposure guidelines. If working in a confined space, follow applicable OSHA
regulations.
Respiratory Protection: None required for normal work where adequate ventilation is provided. If engineering controls
are not feasible or if exposure exceeds the applicable exposure limits, use a NIOSH-approved
cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge. Air monitoring is needed to determine actual
employee exposure levels. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus in confined spaces and
for emergencies.
Eye/face Protection: For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid
contact, wear splash-proof goggles.
Skin Protection: Use protective gloves such as neoprene or nitrile. Also, use full protective clothing if there is
prolonged or repeated contact of liquid with skin.
