SECTION VI TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Route(s) of entry: Inhalation, skin contact.
Effect(s) of acute exposure to product:
EYE CONTACT: Based on the presence of component 1 this product is presumed to be moderately irritating to the eyes. Product vapors and/or mists
may also be irritating to the eyes.
SKIN CONTACT: Exposure may cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause redness, burning, drying, and cracking of the skin.
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this material. Based on the presence of component 1 prolonged or
repeated contact may result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in dermatitis.
INHALATION: Exposure may produce irritation to the nose, throat, respiratory tract, and other mucuos membranes. Based on the presence of
component 1 exposure to excessive vapor concentrations may cause signs of transient central nervous depression (e.g., headache, fatigue, drowsiness,
dizziness, and loss of coordination). Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and
nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
INGESTION: This product is presumed to be slightly toxic. Based on the presence of component 1 small amounts of liquid aspirated into the lungs
during ingestion or from vomiting may result in severe lung damage. While this material has a low degree of toxicity, ingestion of excessive quantities
may cause signs of central nervous system depression (e.g., headache, fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness, and loss of coordination).
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of eye irritation include pain, tearing, reddening, and swelling. Symptoms of skin irritation include reddening,
swelling, rash, and redness. Symptoms of respiratory irritation include runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and
reduced lung function. Symptoms of gastrointestinal irritation include sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Transient central
nervous system depression may be evidenced by headache, dizziness, nausea, and symptomms of intoxication; in extreme cases, unconsciousness
and death may occor. Symptoms of chronic overexposure include loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability, and loss of coordination.
Exposure limits: See Section II.
Effect(s) of chronic exposure to product
Carcinogenicity: No Reproductive toxicity: Not established
Teratogenicity: Not established Mutagenicity: Not established Synergistic Properties: None known
SECTION VII PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Personal protective equipment: Wear safety glasses, goggles, or a splash shield to prevent eye contact. Contact lenses should not be worn. Wear
appropriate gloves and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and clothing.
Engineering controls: Use ventilation as required to control vapor concentrations ?at least 10 air changes per hour are recommended for good general
room ventilation. If exposure exceeds the PEL/TLV, use the appropriate NIOSH approved respirator.
Leak and spill procedures: LARGE SPILLS>> Evacuate the hazard area of unprotected personnel. Wear appropriate respirator and protective clothing.
Shut off source of leak only if safe to do so. Remove / extinguish ignition sources. Dike and contain. If vapor cloud forms, water fog may be used to
suppress; contain run-off. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or
other suitable material; place in non-leaking containers for proper disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace residue; dispose of flush solutions as
above. SMALL SPILLS>> Take up with an absorbent material and place in non-leaking containers.
Waste disposal: Observe all Provincial, Federal, State and local regulations regarding proper disposal.
Handling procedures/equipment: Handle as a flammable product.
Storage requirements: Store in a cool dry area, away from ignition sources. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Special shipping information: None
SECTION VIII FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT: If irritation or redness develops, move victim away from exposure source and into fresh air. Flush eyes with water for fifteen (15)
minutes. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing with mild soap and water. If irritaion or
redness develops and persists, seek medical attention.
INHALATION: If respiratory symptoms develop, move victim away from exposure source and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
If victim is not breathing, immediately begin artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties develop, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel.
Seek immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting spontaneously occurs, keep the victim's head below the hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs. Since
aspiration into the lungs can cause very serious, permanent damage, the decision of whether to induce vomiting or not should be made by a physician.
Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the stomach. Consult a physician, hospital, or poison control
center and/or transport to an emergency facility immediately.
The information contained herein is based on the data available to us and is believed to be correct.
However, we make no warranty, expressed or implied regarding the accuracy of this data or the
results to be obtained from the use thereof. We assume no responsibility for injury from the use of the
product described herein.
