************************ IV - HEALTH EFFECTS INFORMATION ***************************
ROUTES OF ENTRY - SKIN CONTACT X EYE CONTACT X
INHALATION X INGESTION
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
No human overexposure information found for this material. Based upon the available
toxicity information for related materials, it is anticipated that direct contact will
produce very mild to essentially no eye or skin irritation.
OVEREXPOSURE MAY AGGRAVATE EXISTING CONDITIONS: No effects indicated.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Eyes: Flush eyes with large amounts of running water for several minutes. Seek medical
attention if irritation develops.
Skin: Wash affected areas with plenty of water and soap, if available, for several
minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
Ingestion: If swallowed, immediately give 3-4 glasses of milk (if unavailable, give
water). DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give fluids again. Get medical
attention to determine if patient's condition allows for induction of vomiting or
evacuation of the stomach. Do not give anything by mouth to a convulsing or unconscious
person.
Inhalation: Remove from area to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory
irritation develops or if breathing becomes difficult.

************************ VI - SPILL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION ***********************
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Caution! Floors may become slippery. Wear appropriate protective equipment and
respiratory protection where mists or vapors of unknown concentrations may be generated
(self-contained breathing apparatus preferred).
Dike and contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer the liquid and
solid separately to containers for recovery or disposal. Keep spill out of sewers and
open bodies of water.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS
Dispose of in compliance with all Federal, state and local laws and regulations.
Incineration is the preferred method.
CONTAINER DISPOSAL
Triple rinse (or equivalent). Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and
dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or incineration, or, if allowed by state and local
authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.

*********************** VII - PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION **********************
ENGINEERING CONTROL
In processes where mists or vapors may be generated, proper ventilation must be provided
in accordance with good ventilation practices.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
In processes where mists or vapors may be generated, a NIOSH/MSHA jointly approved
respirator is advised in the absence of proper environmental controls.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Rubber or neoprene, when needed to prevent skin contact.
EYE PROTECTION
Wear chemical splash goggles where there is a potential for eye contact. Use safety
glasses with side shields under normal use conditions.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eye wash; safety shower; protective clothing (long sleeves, coveralls or other, as
appropriate), to prevent skin contact.
*************************** VIII - STORAGE AND HANDLING ***************************
PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND HANDLING:
Maximum storage temperature: 140oF. Keep containers closed not in use.
Do not contaminate drinking water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
************************** IX - TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION *****************************
TOXICITY
No toxicity information is available for this specific material. The toxicity information
provided is for ready-to-use dilutions of different EPA FIFRA registered formulations, R-
82, S-21, and S-38, each diluted to produce concentrations between 600 ppm and 850 ppm of
the same actives, Dialkyldimethylammonium chloride and Alkyldimethylbenzylammonium
chloride, in the identical ratio.
ACUTE
For Stone Care International Formulation R-82, diluted 1:256 (850 ppm actives blend):
- skin irritation (rabbit): Essentially non-irritating.
For Stone Care International Formulation S-21, diluted 1:64 (850 ppm actives blend):
- eye Irritation (rabbit): Not an irritant with or without washing.
- skin irritation (rabbit): Non-irritant.
For Stone Care International Formulation S-38, diluted 1:64 (600 ppm actives blend):
- eye Irritation (rabbit): essentially non-irritant with or without washing.
- skin irritation (rabbit): Non-irritant.
