SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
CONTENTS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND UNDER PRESSURE. STORE BELOW 120癋 (49癈), OUT OF SUNLIGHT
AND AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES. DO NOT PUNCTURE OR INCINERATE. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND
EYES. VAPOR HARMFUL. INTENTIONAL MISUSE BY DELIBERATELY CONCENTRATING AND INHALING THE
CONTENTS MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL.
EYE: Liquid or vapors may cause redness, burning, tearing, swelling and/or pain.
SKIN: Frequent or prolonged contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis
(rash).
INGESTION: Due to being an aerosol, product does not lend itself to ingestion. Should ingestion occur, it may cause irritation to
membranes of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract, resulting in vomiting and/or cramps.
INHALATION: Prolonged or repeated overexposure is anesthetic. May cause irritation of the respiratory tract, or acute nervous
system depression characterized by headache, dizziness, staggering gait, or confusion.
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE: N/Av
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE: N/ Av
OTHER IMPORTANT HAZARDS: N/Av
SUGGESTED HMIS RATING: HEALTH | 1 | FLAMMABILITY | 4 | REACTIVITY | 0 | PERSONAL PROTECTION | B |
EFFECTIVE: SEPTEMBER 01, 2006 (C:\MSDS ENGLISH\AG-16-A ENGLISH.06) PAGE 1 OF 5
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical
attention if symptoms persist or if unconscious.
INGESTION: Unlikely due to being in aerosol form. Should actual ingestion occur, do not induce vomiting! Drink a glass of water
or milk to dilute. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush with plenty of clear water for at least 15 minutes. Make sure to flush under the eyelids.
Consult a physician for definitive treatment
SKIN CONTACT: Remove with soap and water. Continue flushing with water for several minutes. Use skin cream to counter
resulting dryness. Consult a physician if irritation continues or if large skin area is affected.
SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
CONDITIONS OF FLAMMABILITY: Heat, sparks, flame, red hot metal.
MEANS OF EXTINCTION: For warehouse and storage conditions, use NFPA Class B extinguishers (CO2, dry chemical or
universal aqueous film forming foam).
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use water spray to cool fire exposed aerosol containers for containers can rupture
violently from heat developed pressure.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Contents extremely flammable and under pressure. In addition, when liquid or
vapor comes into contact with flames or red hot metal, products of combustion will be created. Firemen should wear self-
contained breathing apparatus.
FLASH POINT / DETERMINATION: Propellant <0癋 (<-18癈)
UPPER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: 9.5%
LOWER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: 1.8%
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: N/Av
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: N/Av
EXPLOSION DATA - SENSITIVITY TO MECHANICAL IMPACT: N/Av
EXPLOSION DATA - SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE: N/Av
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
LEAK / SPILL RESPONSE: Product is an aerosol, therefore spills and leaks are unlikely. In case of rupture, released content
should be contained as any other solvent spill. Spills from aerosol cans are unlikely and are generally of small volume. Large
spills are therefore not normally considered a problem. In case of actual rupture, avoid breathing vapors and ventilate area well.
Remove all sources of ignition and use non-sparking equipment. Soak up material with inert absorbent and place in safety
containers for proper disposal.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: Aerosol products represent a limited hazard and will not spill or leak unless ruptured. In case of
rupture contents are generally evacuated from the can rapidly. Area should be ventilated immediately and continuous ventilation
provided until all fumes and vapors have been removed. Aerosol cans should never be incinerated or burned. See Section 13
for disposal considerations.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING PROCEDURES / EQUIPMENT: Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Avoid breathing vapors.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: Store in area below 120癋 (49癈). Do not incinerate (burn) containers. Assure can is in a secure
place to prevent knocking over and accidental rupture. Always replace overcap when not in use. For store of pallet quantities,
compliance with ANSI/NFPA 30B is recommended.
EFFECTIVE: SEPTEMBER 01, 2006 (C:\MSDS ENGLISH\AG-16-A ENGLISH.06) PAGE 2 OF 5
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses with side shields are recommended as a minimum for any type of industrial chemical
handling. Where eye contact could occur, chemical splash proof goggles are recommended.
SKIN PROTECTION: For brief contact, no precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed. When
prolonged or repeated contact could occur, use protective clothing such as Sol-Vex?gloves or other clothing impervious to the
ingredient listed in Section 2.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: General ventilation (typically 10 air changes for hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be
matched to conditions. Local exhaust ventilation or an enclosed handling system, may be needed to control air contamination
below that of the lowest TLV/PEL rated ingredient from Section 2.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINE LEVELS: Since this product is a mixture, an OSHA or ACGIH exposure value is not available. In
determination of any exposure procedures, protection or testing use the lowest rated ingredient in Section 2.
