Section 3: Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview: Irritant. Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness,
headache or nausea. Combustible liquid and vapor. Harmful if swallowed. May cause
eye irritation. Vapors may irritate eyes and respiratory tract.
Potential Health Effects - Applies to all ingredients
Eye Contact: May cause irritation.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation.
Skin Absorption: May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
Inhalation: Prolonged or excessive inhalation can cause respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and gastrointestinal
irritation.
Chronic Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin, which may
result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash).
Chronic Inhalation: Repeated or prolonged inhalation may cause toxic effects.
Target Organs: Eyes. Skin. Respiratory system. Digestive system. Central nervous system. Kidney.
Signs/Symptoms: Overexposure can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
Aggravation of
Preexisting Conditions: May aggravate pre-existing respiratory disorders, allergy, eczema, or skin conditions.
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Eye Contact
Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes while holding eyelids
open. Get medical attention, if irritation or symptoms of overexposure persists.
Skin Contact: Immediately wash skin with mild soap and plenty of water. Apply skin cream if skin
becomes excessively dry. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by
trained personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Aspiration hazard. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 0-10 癋
Flash Point Method: TCC
Upper Flammable or
Explosive Limit: n/a
Lower Flammable or
Explosive Limit: n/a
Extinguishing Media: Foam, Dry Chemical, Carbon Dioxide, Water Fog
Fire Fighting Instructions: Combustible. Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Water may be used to
cool closed containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible auto ignition or explosion.
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Unusual Fire Hazards: Combustible liquid. At elevated temperatures, vapors can form an ignitable mixture with
air. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back.
Low flash point. Static electricity should be avoided.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Use proper personal protective equipment as detailed in section 8.
Spill Cleanup Measures: Remove all sources of ignition. Provide adequate ventilation. Absorb spill with inert
material (e.g., dry sand or earth). Do NOT use combustible materials such as sawdust.
Then place in a chemical waste container using a non sparking tool. Dispose of according
to local, state (provincial) and federal regulations. Do not incinerate closed containers.
Environmental Precautions: Avoid runoff into storm sewers, ditches, and waterways.
Section 7: Handling and Storage:
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor and contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Materials will accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark
(ignition source). Use proper grounding procedures.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat, combustible materials,
sources of static electricity, and incompatible substances. Keep container closed when not
in use.
Work Practices: To reduce the potential for static discharge, bond and ground containers when transferring
material.
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhaling
vapor or mist.
Special Handling Procedures: Do not reuse containers without proper cleaning or reconditioning. Follow all MSDS
precautions even after container is emptied because it may retain product residues.
Important Storage and
Disposal: DANGER! Rags, steel wool and waste soaked with this product may spontaneously catch
fire if improperly discarded or stored.
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure
limits. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all doors and windows to achieve cross-
ventilation. Isolating operations can also reduce exposure.
Skin Protection Description: Chemical resistant gloves and chemical goggles, face shield, and synthetic apron or
coveralls should be used to prevent contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
Hand Protection Description: Nitrile or Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin protection. Consult glove
manufacturer's data for permeability data.
Eye/Face Protection: Wear appropriate protective glasses or splash goggles as described by 29 CFR 1910.133,
OSHA eye and face protection regulation, or the European standard EN 166.
Respiratory Protection: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2
requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
A NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or
canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations
are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection by air purifying respirators is limited.
Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled
release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air purifying
respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Other Protective: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a
safety shower. Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further information
regarding personal protective equipment and its application.
