SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: [ X ] INHALATION [ ] INGESTION [ X ] SKIN ABSORPTION [ ] EYE [ ] NOT HAZARDOUS
ACUTE EFFECTS: CNS symptoms: giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, unconsciousness.
Inhalation: High vapor or spray mist concentrations may produce nose, throat & respiratory irritation & may cause CNS depression (see symptoms above).
Eye Contact: Liquid is slightly irritating. High vapor concentrations may be Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting of skin,
irritating. irritation and dermatitis.
Ingestion: Not highly toxic, but may result in vomiting. Aspiration of vomitus may result in pneumonitis.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: None known.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: Flush with water for 15 minutes. while holding lids open. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wipe excess from skin. Wash with soap and water. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If CNS symptoms occur, get medical attention.
Ingestion: INDUCE VOMITING. Drink 3 to 4 glasses of water. Get immediate medical attention.
SECTION 6 - CONTROL AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Respiratory Protection (specify type): Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors or spray mist. Respirator not required with adequate ventilation.
Protective Gloves: Chemical resistant. Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles as appropriate.
Ventilation Requirements: Normal room ventilation is adequate for normal handling & storage. For large spills, use explosion-proof ventilation to control vapor
concentration.
Other Protective Clothing & Equipment: Eyewash stations & safety showers. Chemical resistant clothing as needed to minimize contact.
Hygienic Work Practices: Do not eat, drink or smoke in work area. Wash hands after handling. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
SECTION 7 - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Spilled Or Released: Contain spill. Do not contaminate sewers, ground waters or surface waters. Soak up in inert absorbent
material & place into properly labeled & sealed non-leaking containers for disposal in authorized manner as hazardous waste.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations.
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling & Storage: Store in original shipping containers. Keep closed when not in use. Shelf life 1 year. Protect from extreme
cold. Keep away from sources of heat, sparks or open flame.
Other Precautions &/or Special Hazards: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Read & follow label directions. Do not cut or weld on full, part full or empty
drums because explosive mixtures of air & vapor may be present.
