Immediate (Acute) Health Effects
Can cause severe central nervous system depression (including unconsciousness).
Inhalation:
High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness,
unconsciousness, and even death with longer exposure. High vapor concentrations are
irritating to the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Breathing saturated vapors for a few
minutes may be fatal. Saturated vapors can be encountered in confined spaces and/or
under conditions of poor ventilation. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Can cause
severe respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and
possible unconsciousness.
Substance causes moderate skin irritation. Moderately irritating to the skin. Can cause
Skin Contact:
moderate skin irritation, defatting, and dermatitis. Not likely to cause permanent
damage.
Irritating but will not permanently injure eye tissue. Can cause moderate irritation,
Eye Contact:
tearing and reddening, but not likely to permanently injure eye tissue. Contact with
the eyes may cause moderate to severe eye injury. Eye contact may result in tearing
and reddening, but not likely to permanently injure eye tissue. Temporary vision
impairment (cloudy or blurred vision) is possible.
Can be absorbed through the skin but exposure must be extensive before adverse
Skin Absorption:
health effects occur. Component(s) may be absorbed through intact skin, but it is
unlikely that harmful affects will occur unless contact is prolonged, repeated, and
extensive. Toxic and may be harmful if absorbed through the skin; may produce
target organ damage. Minimal hazard in normal industrial use. May cause
gastrointestinal discomfort.
Aspiration of material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be
Ingestion:
fatal. Irritating to mouth, throat, and stomach. Can cause abdominal discomfort,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Upon prolonged and/or repeated exposure, can cause severe respiratory irritation,
Inhalation:
dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and possible unconsciousness.
Prolonged or repeated contact may cause irritation. May cause lingering affects but
Skin Contact:
not likely to result in permanent damage if the exposure is eliminated. Upon
prolonged or repeated contact, can cause moderate skin irritation, defatting, and
dermatitis. Not likely to cause permanent damage.
Upon prolonged or repeated contact, can cause severe irritation. Eye contact may
Eye Contact:
result in corneal injury. Symptoms may include discomfort or pain, excess blinking
and tear production, with marked redness and swelling of the conjunctiva. Temporary
vision impairment (cloudy or blurred vision) is possible.
Upon prolonged or repeated exposure, toxic if absorbed through the skin. Likely to

IV. FIRST AID
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, have a trained individual administer
Inhalation:
oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and have a trained individual
administer oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes retracting eyelids
Eyes:
often. Tilt the head to prevent chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated eye.
Get immediate medical attention and monitor the eye daily as advised by your
physician.
Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder. Get medical
Skin Contact:
attention if irritation develops or persists.
Do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately. Drink two glasses
Ingestion:
of water or milk to dilute. Provide medical care provider with this MSDS.

Empty containers that retain product residue (liquid, solid/sludge, or vapor) can be
Fire Hazards:
dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
container to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. Any of
these actions can potentially cause an explosion that may lead to injury or death.
Vapors may be ignited by heat, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition at or above
the low flash point giving rise to a fire (Class B). Vapors are heavier than air and may
travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Water may be ineffective in fire fighting due the material (or component(s)) low flash
Extinguishing Media:
point, low solvent density, and limited miscibility with water. Alcohol foam Dry
chemical Use alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical extinguishing
agents. Water may be ineffective but water spray can be used extinguish a fire if swept
across the base of the flames. Water can absorb heat and keep exposed material from
being damaged by fire.
Use methods for the surrounding fire. Flammable component(s) of this material may
Fire Fighting Instructions:
be lighter than water and burn while floating on the surface.Do not enter fire area
without proper protection including self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective equipment. Fight fire from a safe distance and a protected location due to
the potential of hazardous vapors and decomposition products. Flammable
component(s) of this material may be lighter than water and burn while floating on the
surface. Use water spray/fog for cooling.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide Toxic gases

Protective Equipment
Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and
Respiratory Tract:
safety professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29
CFR 1910.134) and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992). A
written respiratory protection program, including provisions for medical certification,
training, fit testing, exposure assessments, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and
convenient, sanitary storage should be implemented.

Wear additional eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield
when the possibility exists for eye contact with splashing or spraying liquid, or
airborne material. Do not wear contact lenses. Have an eye wash station available.
Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves, an apron and other
Skin:
protective equipment depending upon conditions of use. Inspect gloves for chemical
break-through and replace at regular intervals. Clean protective equipment regularly.
