SECTION 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If inhaled, immediately remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention if adverse effect continues after removal to fresh air.
Skin contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and running water.

immediately. Guard against aspiration into the lungs.
Conditions aggravated by exposure: May aggravate pre-existing skin, eye and respiratory problems.
Recommendations to physicians: Treat symptoms and eliminate overexposure.
SECTION 5 -- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire hazards/conditions of flammability If the water in this product is allowed to evaporate off, the remaining residue may be
combustible. Closed containers may rupture if exposed to excess heat or flame due to a build-up of internal pressure.
Flammability classification (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200): None.
Flash point: Not applicable.
Auto-ignition temperature: Not Established Oxidizing properties: None known
Lower flammable limit (% by vol.): Not Established Upper flammable limit (% by vol.): Not Established
Explosion data:
Product is insensitive to normal mechanical impacts. Product is slightly sensitive to static discharge: vapors may be
sensitive to discharge. Avoid static discharge by grounding containers and transfer equipment.
Suitable extinguishing media: Use media suitable to the surrounding fire, such as foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or water
spray / fog.
Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment: Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and respiratory protection as
conditions warrant. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Water spray may be useful in cooling
equipment and containers exposed to heat and flame.
Hazardous combustion products: Carbon oxides, other irritating fumes, and smoke.
SECTION 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Ensure clean-up is conducted by trained personnel
only. All persons dealing with clean-up should wear the appropriate chemically protective equipment. Keep all other personnel
upwind and away from the spill/release. Refer to Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION, for
additional information on acceptable personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions: Ensure spilled product does not enter drains, sewers or confined spaces. Dike far ahead of large
spills with non-combustible, inert absorbent material.
Spill response/Cleanup: Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of release. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Use
non-sparking tools. Contain and absorb spilled liquid with non-combustible, inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth), then place
absorbent material into a suitable container for later disposal (see Section 13). Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same
hazards as the spilled product. Notify the appropriate authorities as required.
Prohibited materials: None known.
Special spill response procedures: If a spill/release in excess of EPA reportable quantity is made into the environment,
immediately notify the national response center in the United States (phone: 1-800-424-8002).
DOT/CERCLA Reportable quantity (RQ): None.
SECTION 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE
Safe handling procedures: Wear appropriate protective equipment during handling. Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid
inhalation of vapors, mists or sprays. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep away
from heat and flame. Keep away from acids and other incompatible materials. Use caution when opening cap. Keep container
tightly closed when not in use. Assume empty containers contain residues, which are hazardous.
General hygiene considerations: Avoid inhalation of vapors and mists. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not eat,
drink or smoke when working. Upon completion of work, wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or use of toilet
facilities. Remove soiled clothing and wash it thoroughly before reuse.

SECTION 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE (Continued)
Storage requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat and sunlight. Store containers away
from incompatible chemicals (see Section 10, Stability and Reactivity). Storage area should be clearly identified, clear of
obstruction and accessible only to trained and authorized personnel. Inspect periodically for damage or leaks.
Special packaging materials: Always keep in containers made of the same materials as the supply container.
SECTION 8 -- EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation and engineering controls: Use in well-ventilated area. Local mechanical exhaust / extraction ventilation may be
required if used indoors on a continuous basis.

Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection is required if airborne concentrations are above recommended TLVs or are not
known. If respiratory protection is needed, use only protection authorized in the U.S. Federal OSHA Respiratory Protection
Standard (29 CFR 1910.134) or equivalent U.S. State standards, and the Canadian CSA Standard Z94.4-02, Selection, Care and
Use of Respirators. Oxygen levels below 19.5% are considered IDLH by OSHA. In such atmospheres, in emergency situations
or when oxygen levels are unknown, use of a full-facepiece pressure/demand SCBA or a full facepiece, supplied air respirator
with auxiliary self-contained air supply is required under OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard (1910.134-1998).
Hand protection: It is recommended that protective gloves impervious to the material be worn at all times during use. Use triple
gloves for spill response. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 or appropriate standards of Canada.
Eye / face protection: Use chemical splash goggles when a potential for eye contact exists. A full face shield should be worn
when handling more than 1 gallon of product. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 or the Canadian CSA
Standard Z94.3-07, Industrial Eye and Face Protection. An eyewash station and safety shower should be made available in
the immediate working area.
Skin protection and other protective equipment: Use body protection appropriate for task. An apron, or other impermeable body
protection is suggested. Full-body chemical protective clothing is recommended for emergency response procedures. If necessary,
refer to the OSHA Technical Manual (Section VII: Personal Protective Equipment), or appropriate Standards of Canada. If a
hazard of injury to the feet exists due to falling objects, rolling objects, where objects may pierce the soles of the feet or where
employee's feet may be exposed to electrical hazards, use foot protection, as described in U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.136 and the
Canadian CSA Standard Z195-02, Protective Footwear. An eyewash station and safety shower should be made available in the
immediate working area.
