Section 06 Spill, Leak and Disposal Procedures
Action to take for Spills/Leaks: Caution - pH of material is 1.2 (acidic). Small spills: wipe up or flush with
water. Large spills: stop leak at source if possible. Contain spill by
diking or other means. Spill response personnel should wear protection
for eye and skin. Collect in containers for disposal or absorb with an
inert material (i.e., dry sand, earth, vermiculite, etc.) then place in a
suitable container. Flush residual spill with water.
Disposal Method: Dispose through a licensed waste disposal service with neutralization
capability. Follow all federal, state, and local regulations.

Section 07 Health Hazard Data
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure:
Preexisting respiratory and skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product.
Eye: May cause severe discomfort or pain in the eye, with excess blinking and
tear production. There will be a moderately severe conjunctivitis, seen
as excess redness and swelling of the conjunctiva. Corneal injury,
possibly marked, will develop.
Skin Contact: May cause mild to marked local reddening, and possibly swelling,
(Primary Route of Entry) depending on the duration of contact.
Absorption: No evidence of adverse effects from available information.
Ingestion: May cause mouth, throat and digestive tract irritation.
Inhalation: Short-term adverse health effects are not expected from any vapor
(Primary Route of Entry) generated at ambient temperature.
Overexposure to vapors generated at high temperatures may result in
eye and respiratory tract irritation and in the inhalation of harmful
amounts of material.
Effect of Repeated Overexposure:
Prolonged exposure to smoke or fumes generated by heating this product at high temperatures may cause
respiratory irritation with throat discomfort, coughing or breathing difficulty. Repeated exposure may lead to
respiratory sensitization (as asthma).
Other Health Hazards: May cause skin sensitization in a small proportion of individuals
Section 08 First Aid Procedures
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention without delay,
preferably from an ophthalmologist.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Wash
clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops and
persists.

Section 08 First Aid Procedures (continued)
Ingestion: If a large volume (several ounces) has been swallowed, give two glasses
of water and induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Obtain medical attention if symptoms persist.
Notes to Physician: There is no specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be
directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the
patient.
Section 09 Special Handling Information
Ventilation: If used at high temperatures, this material should be used with local
mechanical ventilation to maintain exposures below irritating levels
(decomposition).
Respiratory Protection: Normally not required when used at ambient (room) temperatures. If
used at high temperatures, use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators
(organic vapors, acid gases) where exposures become irritating.
Eye Protection: Chemical monogoggles in all possible splash situations.
Protective Gloves: Rubber or neoprene.
Other Protective Equipment: Rubber of neoprene aprons/clothing in all possible splash situations.
Eye wash/safety shower.
Section 10 Special Precautions & Additional Information
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: WARNING! Causes eye burns.
May cause skin irritation.
May cause allergic skin reaction.
Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing.
Keep container closed.
Use with adequate ventilation.
Wash thoroughly after handling.

Other Precautions:
Store tightly closed containers in a cool, well ventilated, low fire-risk area away from sources of heat, sparks,
flame, strong oxidizing agents, and strong bases. Protect from freezing temperatures. Do not store in metal
containers.
