Section 3. Hazards Identification
Acute Effects Routes of EntryDermal contact. Inhalation.
Skin Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). Non-sensitizer for skin. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching,
scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Skin
Eyes Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant). Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Eye
Inhalation Hazardous in case of inhalation (lung irritant). Material is irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Can cause central nervous system depression. Symptoms and signs include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, muscular
weakness, drowsiness and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure:
Respiratory
Ingestion Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage.
Chronic Effects The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, lungs, the reproductive system, liver, mucous
membranes, brain, skin, central nervous system (CNS), eye, lens or cornea, nose/sinuses. Repeated or
prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Defatting to the skin.
Prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis with drying and cracking of skin.
Additional information : See Toxicological Information (section 11)
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get
medical attention.
Skin Contact Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
Inhalation
oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage. Do NOT induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent
aspiration. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Clean up Eliminate all ignition sources. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Absorb with an
inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. To clean the floor and all objects
contaminated by this material, use detergent. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and
dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling Keep away from sources of ignition. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors or
spray mists. Watch for accumulation in low confined areas. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
Storage Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition source. Keep container tightly closed
and dry. Store between 40癋 - 120癋 (4.4癈 - 49癈). Keep out of the reach of children.
Section 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors
below their respective occupational exposure limits. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are proximal to the work-station location.
Personal Protection Protective Clothing (Pictograms)
Eyes Safety glasses.
Hands and Body Neoprene gloves. Nitrile gloves. Natural rubber (latex) glove
Respiratory Use with adequate ventilation. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne
concentrations of vapors below their respective occupational exposure limits. Wear appropriate respirator when
ventilation is inadequate.
