SKIN:
May cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, rash and mild swelling. May be absorbed through
the skin and may cause effects as described under Inhalation (see below).
INHALATION:
High concentrations of vapor or mist may cause nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms may
include coughing, a burning sensation in the nose and throat, and disagreeable metallic taste. May also cause
central nervous system effects including headache, dizziness and nausea.
INGESTION:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause mouth, throat and stomach burns. Symptoms may include nausea, vomit-
ing, diarrhea, and severe stomach pain. May also cause central nervous system effects including headache,
dizziness and weakness.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
Prolonged or repeated contact can cause defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and
dermatitis (rash).
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED:
May aggravate pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory conditions.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids apart. After initial flushing, remove any contact
lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Do not put any medication in the victim's eyes unless
instructed by a physician. Get immediate medical attention.
SKIN:
Flush thoroughly with plenty of water, then wash with soap and water. Remove saturated clothing. Get medical
attention if irritation develops or persists. Thoroughly wash (or discard) clothing and shoes before reuse.
INHALATION:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen (by trained personnel
only). Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
INGESTION:
Do not induce vomiting. Drink large quantities of water. Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person.

Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Normal products of combustion (carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) and nitrogen oxides.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
None known.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
This product is not flammable. As in any fire, MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and full protective gear should be worn.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
See Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 3, Hazard Identification. Floors may be
slippery. Use care to avoid falling. Ventilate spill area. Contain and isolate spill. Keep non-essential personnel
from entering spill area. Use mop and absorbent to collect material for proper disposal. Rinse area with water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
Follow label use directions. Do not mix with other chemicals unless instructed by label directions. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contami-
nated clothing. Wash clothing and equipment before reuse.
STORAGE:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store away from incompatible materials. (See Section 10, Stability and
Reactivity).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
EYE:
Where eye contact is possible, wear chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1-approved).
SKIN:
Where skin contact is possible, chemical-resistant clothing (e.g., gloves) should be worn.
RESPIRATORY:
No respiratory protection is required if general room ventilation is adequate and airborne concentrations are kept
below exposure limits. When exposure limits are exceeded, use appropriate respiratory protection (NIOSH/MSHA)
to prevent overexposure.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate. If user operations generate vapor or mist, ventilation
should be used to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.
