3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Primary Routes of Exposure:
Inhalation
Ingestion
Skin absorption
Emergency Overview:
This section not in use.
Product ID: 038.0035554
Page 1 / 6
This product contains ingredients that may contribute to the following potential acute health effects:
Inhalation Effects:
Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain, nervous system, or respiratory system, causing dizziness, headache, nausea or
respiratory irritation. May cause respiratory tract sensitization.
Eye Contact:
May cause moderate eye irritation.
Skin Contact:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Contains a component which is a known or suspected skin sensitizer.
Acute Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed.
Other Effects:
None known
This product contains ingredients that may contribute to the following potential chronic health effects:
Notice: 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. May cause eye damage and pain. May cause liver damage. Possible sensitization. May cause kidney damage.
Possible cancer hazard. Contains ingredients which may cause cancer based on animal data. Risk of cancer depends on
duration and level of exposure.
See Section 11 for toxicological information about Mutagens, Teratogens and Carcinogens.
If this section is blank, no information is available.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
If affected by inhalation, move victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Eye Contact:
In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get
medical attention immediately after flushing.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists get
medical attention. Remove contaminated shoes and discard. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, get medical attention immediately.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: Any respiratory or skin condition.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Action to be taken if material is released or spilled:
Ventilate area. Avoid breathing of vapors. Use self-containing breathing apparatus or airmask for large spills in a
confined area. Wipe, scrape or soak up in an inert material and put in a container for disposal. See section 5, "Unusual
Fire and Explosion Hazards", for proper container and storage procedures. Avoid all personal contact.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage:
Keep container closed when not in use.
8. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye and face protection:
Avoid contact with eyes. Wear chemical goggles if there is the possibility of contact or splashing in the eye.
Skin protection:
Gloves: Neoprene or other nonporous. Neoprene or plastic apron and protective clothing covering exposed skin areas.
Respiratory protection:
If exposure cannot be controlled below applicable limits, use the appropriate NIOSH approved respirator such as an air
purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge and dust/mist filter. Consult the respirator manufacturer's literature to
ensure that the respirator will provide adequate protection. Read and follow all respirator manufacturer's instructions.
Ventilation
Required when spraying or applying in confined area.
