3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS: Harmful if absorbed through skin, inhaled, or
swallowed. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Avoid breathing
vapor or spray mist. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some
individuals.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: This pesticide is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, to areas
where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not
contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters.
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The
use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow,
may result in groundwater contamination.
PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS: Combustible liquid. May release toxic fumes if burned.
4. FIRST AID
Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for
treatment. You may also contact 1-800-424-9300 for emergency medical treatment information.
IF IN EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact
lenses, if present, after the first five minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or
doctor for treatment advice.
IF INHALED: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give
artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for
further treatment advice.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash point (TCC): 84.5癈 (184.1癋)
Flammable Limits (LEL): Unknown
Fire and Explosion Hazards: May decompose in fire due to thermal decomposition releasing irritating
and toxic gasses.
Means of Extinction: Use water fog, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area and fight fire upwind from a safe distance to avoid possible
hazardous fumes and decomposition products. Dike runoff and do not allow runoff to enter sewers, storm
drains or waterways. Foam and dry chemical extinguishing systems are preferred to prevent
environmental damage from excessive water runoff.
Firefighting Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece and full bunker gear.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Hydrogen chloride, oxides of nitrogen, phosgene.
NFPA Ratings: Health ?2 / Flammability ?2 / Reactivity ?0
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Clean up spills immediately observing the precautions in Section 8 of this MSDS. Isolate the hazard area
and keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Prevent material from contaminating
soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water.
SMALL SPILLS: Absorb spill with sand, vermiculite or other inert absorbent. Place contaminated
material into an appropriate container for disposal.
LARGE SPILLS: Dike large spills using absorbent or impervious materials such as clay or sand.
Recover and contain as much free liquid as possible for reuse. Allow absorbed material to solidify,
scrape up and place in an appropriate container for disposal. After removal, flush contaminated area
thoroughly with water, observing all environmental regulations. Recover wash liquid with additional
absorbent and place in container for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Do not allow to come into contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before eating, drinking,
chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside.
Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product.
Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into
clean clothing.
Do not use or store near heat or open flame. Do not cut or weld container. Store in a cool, dry place and
in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food, and feed.
Store in original container and out of the reach of children, preferably in a secured storage area.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash
station and a safety shower. Proper ventilation is required when handling or using this product to keep
exposure to airborne contaminants below exposure limits. Local mechanical exhaust ventilation may be
required.
Protective Clothing: Long-sleeved shirt, long pants and shoes plus socks, and chemical resistant
gloves (> 14 mils) such as butyl rubber, natural rubber, neoprene rubber, or nitrile rubber.
General: Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Discard clothing and other absorbent
materials that have been heavily contaminated with this product; do not reuse them. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist,
use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
