R65 Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed.
R67 Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Routes of Entry
- Absorption - Eye contact - Ingestion - Inhalation - Skin contact
Carcinogenic Status
Not considered carcinogenic by NTP, IARC, and OSHA.
Target Organs
- Central Nervous System - Skin - Eye - Liver - Kidney - Respiratory System - Reproductive
Health Effects - Eyes
Liquid, mist or vapor may cause pain, transient irritation and superficial corneal effects.
Health Effects - Skin
Material may cause irritation. Repeated or prolonged contact may produce defatting of the skin leading
to irritation and dermatitis. Material can be absorbed through the skin and cause effects similar to
those resulting from inhalation.
Health Effects - Ingestion
Swallowing may have the following effects:
- abdominal pain - vomiting - central nervous system depression - kidney damage - liver damage ?br>
testis damage ?aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestion or vomiting causing lung damage
A large dose may have the following effects:
- systemic effects similar to those resulting from inhalation
Health Effects - Inhalation
Exposure to vapor may have the following effects:
- irritation of nose, throat and respiratory tract - central nervous system depression - dizziness -
drowsiness - headache - mental confusion
Exposure to vapor at high concentrations may have the following effects:
- nerve damage leading to numbness and muscle weakness - lung damage - liver damage - kidney
damage - testis damage

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
Immediately flood the eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eye open. Obtain
medical attention if soreness or redness persists.
Skin
Immediately flood the skin with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes, preferably under a
shower. Remove contaminated clothing and continue washing. Contaminated clothing should be
washed or dry-cleaned before re-use. Obtain medical attention if blistering occurs or redness persists.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Have victim drink 1-3 glasses of water to dilute stomach contents. If there is
difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure. If there is difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention
immediately.
Advice to Physicians
Mineral oil, baby oil, makeup remover or other similar mild solvent may be used to remove the sticky
resin residue left by the adhesive.
5. FIRE - FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
Use foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Be aware of the possibility of re-ignition. Keep containers
and surroundings cool with water spray.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Vapors can travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flashback. Flashback can occur if
air temperature exceeds flash point. Be aware of possibility of re-ignition. For aerosol products ?br>
o
exposure to temperature over 130 F may cause containers to burst and release highly flammable gas.
Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighting
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Contain and absorb using earth, sand or other inert material. Transfer into suitable containers for
recovery or disposal. Wear appropriate protective clothing. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Use non-
sparking scoops for flammable materials. Vapors can accumulate in low areas. Consider need for
evacuation. Prevent the material from entering drains or watercourses. Notify authorities if spill has
entered watercourse or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep from reach of children. Do not puncture, incinerate or place aerosol product containers in
compactors. Use in well ventilated area. Use local exhaust ventilation. Avoid inhaling vapor. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Do not flame cut,
braze or use welding torch on container. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating or inhaling
the vapors from this product may be harmful or fatal.
Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Storage area should be: - cool - dry - well ventilated -
away from incompatible materials - out of direct sunlight ?away form sources of ignition(heat, sparks,
o
flames, pilot lights) Do not store above 120 F.
