Potential Health Effects
Primary Entry Routes: Skin contact, skin absorption, eye contact, inhalation, ingestion.
Target Organs:
Acute Effects
Inhalation: throat irritation on short-term exposure to liquid or vapor. Aspiration into lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis,
which can be fatal.
Eye: irritation on short-term exposure to liquid or vapor.
Skin: irritation on short-term exposure to liquid or vapor.
Ingestion: ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation
Carcinogenicity: IARC, NTP, and OSHA do not list this product as a carcinogen.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: Respiratory symptoms associated with pre-existing lung disorders
and pre-existing heart disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this material.
Chronic Effects: Overexposure may result in headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and possible unconsciousness, even
asphyxiation. Moderate irritation of skin, eyes and mucous membranes of upper respiratory tract on prolonged/repeated
contact. Dermatitis and defatting of the skin. Chronic exposure may cause reversible liver and kidney injury.
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous
system damage. Repeated exposure to Toluene has been associated with high frequency hearing loss based on animal tests.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
Get medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with running water and remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and
water. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
Note to Physicians: This product contains several organic solvents (Toluene, Heptane, Acetone and Xylene).
Special Precautions/Procedures: Whenever possible, remove the worker from the source of contamination.

Flammability Classification: Division 2
Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam. Water may not be effective as an
extinguishing agent. Water fog or spray may be used to provide a smothering effect on fire and to cool fire-exposed containers
and surrounding combustibles. Do not use a solid stream of water because it can scatter and spread the fire.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Extremely flammable. Store and use away from all sources of heat, flame, or sparks. Do
not smoke while applying. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along ground or may be moved by ventilation and
ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electrical motors, static discharge, or other ignition sources at
location distant from material handling point and flashback. All containers should be grounded when material is transferred.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Toxic gases or vapors, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, or
oxides of nitrogen may be released in a fire.
Fire-Fighting Instructions: This product contains solvents that are dangerous fire and explosion hazards when exposed to heat
or flame. Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing with a full face piece
operated in the positive pressure demand mode.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Because fire may produce toxic thermal decomposition products, wear a self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face piece operated in pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Spill /Leak Procedures: Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid breathing vapors. Use self-contained breathing apparatus in
enclosed area. Ventilate area. Contain and remove with inert absorbent materials and non-sparking tools.
Containment: For large spills, dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Do not release into sewers or waterways.
Cleanup: Clean-up spill as soon as possible. Collect any excess material with absorbent pads, sand or other inert non-
combustible absorbent materials. Place into appropriate waste containers for later disposal. Comply with all laws and
regulations.
Regulatory Requirements: Follow applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120).
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Precautions: Use away from all sources of heat, flame, or sparks. Do not smoke while using. Handling equipment
must be grounded to prevent sparking. Handle with non-sparking tools. Wash with soap and water before eating or drinking.
Launder contaminated clothing. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Storage Requirements: Keep containers cool, dry, and store way from all sources of heat, flame, and sparks. Keep containers
tightly closed and store with adequate ventilation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, or grind the containers or empty containers
which may contain residual product and solvent vapors that may ignite explosively.

Engineering Controls: Do not use in enclosed areas without proper explosion-proof ventilation. General and local exhaust
ventilation must be sufficient to control vapor concentrations and keep the PEL below 100 ppm.
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below OSHA PELs. Local
exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its source.
Administrative Controls:
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH approved respirator must be used if vapor concentration is 100 ppm or above.
Protective Clothing/Equipment: Permeation resistant gloves (that meet ANSI/ISEA 105-2005) recommended. Glasses or
goggles recommended. Industrial shoes to protect feet from adhesive contact. Long sleeves, long trousers to protect skin from
adhesive contact. Protective skin creams or emollients useful.
Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area.
Contaminated Equipment: Separate contaminated work clothes from street clothes. Launder before reuse. Remove this
material from your shoes and clean personal protective equipment.
Comments: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene after using this material, especially before
eating, drinking, smoking, using the toilet, or applying cosmetics.
