Vapors and mists may cause severe irritation to nose, throat and lungs (burning, stinging, coughing). May cause
headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness, shortness of breath and loss of coordination. Intentional misuse by deliberately
concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Exposure to extremely high vapor concentrations may
cause unconsciousness and asphyxiation. Always wear a NIOSH approved respitator with functioning organic vapor
cartridges and provide adequate ventilation at the jobsite during and after application. If formaldehyde concentrations
are unknown, use formaldehyde specific cartridges.
EYE CONTACT:
Contact with liquid or vapors causes severe irritation (redness, watering, itching, stinging, blurred vision) and
possible cornea damage.
SKIN CONTACT:
May cause sensitization and allergic skin reaction (contact dermatitis). Contact may cause severe irritation (dryness,
itching, cracking, rash and swelling) and possible burns.
SKIN ABSORPTION:
May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Repeated and prolonged contact may have a cumulative effect.
Symptoms may include headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness, loss of coordination.
SWALLOWING:
Causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and central nervous system depression (headache, dizziness, giddiness, nausea, loss of
coordination).
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM LONG TERM UNPROTECTED EXPOSURE:
Contains ingredients suspected of causing or known to cause damage to:kidneys, liver, lungs,
eyes, brain and nervous system, blood cell abnormalities, possible hearing loss, dermatitis or other
skin disorders, Always wear appropriate respiratory, eye and skin protection during use. Ventilate well
during and after application.
Exposure to formaldehyde may cause sensitization and allergic skin reaction resulting in contact dermatitis. Some

Warning! This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer.
CARCINOGEN:
Formaldehyde is classified as a known human carcinogen by the International Agency of Research on Cancer (IARC). In
chronic inhalation studies, exposure to high concentrations caused nasal cancer in laboratory rats. Risk of cancer
depends on level and duration of unprotected exposure. Always wear a NIOSH approved respitator with functioning organic
vapor cartridges and provide adequate ventilation at the jobsite during and after application. If formaldehyde
concentrations are unknown, use formaldehyde specific cartridges. Before initial use, consult OSHA's formaldehyde
standard (29 CFR 1910.1048). Also consult section VIII of this MSDS. Risk of cancer depends on level and duration of
exposure.
