3. Hazard Identification
Primary Routes of Entry:
Inhalation, Skin, Eyes, Ingestion
Potential Health Hazards:
Skin, Inhalation and Eyes Acute:
It is a mild eye and dermal irritant, but is nontoxic according to the results of acute dermal
and acute eye testing.
Skin, Inhalation and Eyes Chronic:
Long term exposure may cause irritation of the skin and skin sensitization.
Skin Absorption Acute:
EP-STRIP is considered a mild to moderate dermal irritant based upon acute dermal
testing.
Skin Absorption Chronic:
No effects would be expected from this route of entry.
Inhalation Acute:
May cause mild irritation to nose, throat, and lungs. May cause temporary blurring of vision.
Inhalation Chronic:
Irritation to respiratory tract, lightheadedness. There is no evidence that exposure will
produce impairment of lung function.
Ingestion Acute:
N/E
Ingestion Chronic:
N/E

4. First Aid Measures
Skin:
Promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash with soap and water. Seek medical assistance if irritation
persists.
Eyes:
Move individual away from exposure into fresh air. Flush eyes with copious amounts of water while holding
eyelids apart for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Inhalation:
Remove individual to fresh air. Keep person warm and quiet. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion:
Seek medical attention, keep person warm and quiet. Do not induce vomiting.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Not Determined.

6. Accidental Release Measures
ALWAYS WEAR RECOMMENDED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT!
In Case of Spill or Other Release:
Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop spill at the source. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or
other bodies of water. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump or vacuum transfer spilled
product to clean containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product and transfer contaminated
absorbent into containers for disposal.
7. Handling, Storage, and Disposal
Dispose of in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations. Store in a cool dry place. Keep out
of reach of children. Store at room temperature between 40-1100F. Keep container securely closed. Do
not mix with strong oxidants, acids or alkalies. Do not reuse empty containers.
8. Control Measures and Personal Protection
Ventilation:
Provide sufficient mechanical ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV.
Skin Protection:
Wear chemical resistant gloves and coveralls.
Eye Protection:
Wear face shield or chemical goggles.
Respiratory Protection:
A NIOSH/MSHA approved chemical cartridge ( organic vapor) respirator must be worn to prevent
the inhalation of vapors or spray mists when spraying. Full face is recommended. Maintain
adequate ventilation.
Additional Recommendations:
Wear protective equipment.
