3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Eyes: May cause irritation. Prolonged exposure may result in corneal injury.
Skin: May cause irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin.
Inhalation: In a confined area, vapors in high concentrations are anesthetic. Intentional misuse by inhaling the product can be harmful
or fatal.
Ingestion: Exposure by ingestion of an aerosol is unlikely. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
May cause delayed lung damage.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, while holding eyelids open. If irritation persists get medical attention
immediately.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush with water followed by soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention immediately. If breathing stops give artificial respiration.
Ingestion: Have victim rinse mouth thorougly with water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attetion immediately. If vomiting
occurs naturally have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (TCC): -156癋/ -104.4癈 estimate Explosive Limits: Lower (LEL): 7.3 Upper (UEL): 36.0
Flame Projection (Aerosol): Flammable per 16 CFR 1500.3 and 1500.45.
Hazardous Products of Combustion: When strongly heated, as in a fire, may produce oxides of carbon and oxides of nitrogen.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Exposure to temperature above 130癋/ 54.4癈 may cause container to burst, rupture, or vent.
Containers should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure build up.
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, Standard foam, Dry chemical. Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread
fire.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Cool fire exposed containers to prevent
rupturing.
