Signs and symptoms of exposure
Inhalation Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain or nervous system causing
dizziness, headache, or nausea. Excessive exposure may cause changes in
heart rate and/or irritation to respiratory tract.
Skin contact Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation, drying or rash.
Eye contact Causes eye irritation. Liquid, aerosol and vapors are irritating and can cause
pain, tearing, reddening, and swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation.
Ingestion Material may be harmful or fatal if swallowed
Emergency first aid procedures
Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Call
physician immediately.
Skin contact Wash off thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing
and launder before re-use. Discard contaminated leather gloves and shoes.
Eye contact Flush with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion Seek medical attention immediately.
Medical conditions generally aggravated by Persons with pre-existing skin disorders should avoid contact with this
exposure product.
Effects of Overexposure Chronic hazards. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged
overexposure to solvents with permanent brain damage and nervous system
damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the
contents may be harmful or fatal.
VII. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Steps to take if released or spilled Absorb with inert material (i.e. dry sand or earth), and then transfer to
properly labeled chemical waste container.
Waste disposal method Use approved treatment, transporters and disposal sites in accordance with
local, state and federal laws. Do not flush to storm or sanitary sewer.
Precautions for handling and storing Do not expose to heat or store at temperatures above 120癋. Launder
contaminated clothing before reuse. Use as directed. Normal precautions
common to good manufacturing should be followed in storage and handling.
Other precautions For industrial use only. Affix warning labels on containers in accordance
with 29 CFR 1910.1200

VIII. CONTROL MEASURES
Protective gloves (type and material) Use chemical-resistant gloves in situations of overexposure.
Eye protection Wear safety glasses or goggles.
Other protective clothing or equipment Use approved bonding and grounding procedures.
Respiratory protection (specify type) Use only with adequate ventilation. Use NIOSH approved respirator with
organic vapor cartridge when airborne concentrations are expected to exceed
exposure limits.
Ventilation and conditions
Local Yes
Mechanical Recommended to control airborne levels to below the exposure guidelines.
Lethal concentrations may exist in areas with poor ventilation. Use
explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
Other None
Work/hygienic practices Do not wear contaminated clothing. Wash hands prior to eating, drinking,
smoking or use of restroom and when leaving work.
