Potential Health Effects
Primary Entry Routes: Eye and skin contact; inhalation of vapors, accidental ingestion.
Inhalation/Ingestion: Excessive vapors caused by heat or spray mist can cause respiratory problems.
Eye: May cause irritation or possible burns.
Skin: May cause irritation and possible allergic sensitivity with repeated contact.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: Acute asthma or prior sensitization to amine fumes.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Not likely. Remove to fresh air environment.
Ingestion: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Remove stomach contents by gastric suction or induce vomiting only as
directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with clean, lukewarm water for 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention if irritation develops.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas well with soap and water. Launder contaminated
clothing before use.
Note to Physicians: Treat any ill effects symptomatically.

TC-1618 PART B Revision date: 11/01/2004
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Cool fire exposed containers with water spray. Remove containers from fire area if possible. Do
not release runoff from fire control methods to sewers or waterways.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Firefighters must wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) for fighting large fires. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles when fighting large fires.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Spill /Leak Procedures: Provide adequate ventilation and wear personal protective equipment. Evacuate personnel as a
precaution. Prevent product spill from entering sewers, streams, or drinking water supplies. Collect liquid or soak up with inert
filler or an absorbent such as dry earth, sand or oil absorbent (sweeping) compound. Collect liquid into suitable containers for
disposal. Wash area with dilute ammonia solution.
Containment: For large spills, dike ahead of liquid spill for later neutralization, absorption, clean up, and disposal.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Precautions: Corrosive; causes eye and skin burns. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing
vapor directly over open container.
Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry place away from excessive heat in original or similar waterproof containers. Avoid
unnecessary contact. Protect from freezing. Containers should be tightly sealed to prevent contamination with foreign
materials.
Shelf life: 12 months from date of shipment under manufacturers recommended storage conditions.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Eye Protection Requirements: Safety goggles or glasses are recommended. Plastic face shield should be worn for complete
face protection.
Skin Protection Requirements: Impermeable gloves should be worn. Employees should wash their hands and face before
eating, drinking, or using tobacco products.
Ventilation/Respiratory Requirements: Exhaust ventilation recommended. An organic vapor cartridge or fresh air supplied
respirator may be necessary for certain applications. Consider the type of application, environmental concentrations, and other
materials being used concurrently when determining respirator use and selection. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use
(29 CFR 1910.134).
Additional Protective Measures: Safety showers and eye wash stations should be easily accessible to the work area. Working
training is important. Follow all label precautions.
