Section Three Hazards Identification
Statement of Hazards: Danger: Causes eye and skin irritation. Corrosive Liquid. Overexposure may cause irritation and burning of affected areas.
Primary Route of Exposure: Skin and eye contact are the principal routes of exposure to this product.
Skin Contact - Skin contact can cause irritation or burns with possible redness, swelling or blistering. Severity of action is highly dependent on contact time.
Eye Contact - Eye contact may cause irritation or burns. May cause permanent eye damage, if not promptly flushed with plenty of water.
Ingestion - If swallowed, this product may cause irritation or damage of mucosal linings of the mouth, throat, esophagus or stomach.
Inhalation - Inhalation can cause irritation and burning of respiratory passages.
Carcinogenicity: IARC - No NTP - No OSHA - No ACGIH - No
Section Four First Aid Measures
Skin Contact: Immediately remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Wash skin with soap and plenty of water for 15 minutes. Do not attempt to neutralize with
chemical agents. Get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediate first aid is required to prevent eye damage. Flush immediately with water and remove contact lenses, if applicable. Then flush with large
quantities of running water for 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart during flushing to ensure complete rinsing of entire surface of eye and lids with water. Do not
attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Get medical attention immediately. Continue flushing with water if physician is not immediately available.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Then give 1-2 glasses of water or milk and call a physician or poison control center immediately. If vomiting occurs, keep head
below hips to reduce risk of aspiration. NEVER give anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious or convulsing. Get medical attention immediately.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Medical Conditions Aggravated: No data is available that addresses medical conditions that are generally recognized as being aggravated by exposure to this
product. Note to Physician: Treat exposed patients symptomatically.
Section Five Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point(Method): 192?F(TCC) Flammable Limits: Not determined.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam extinguishing agents unless contraindicated by surrounding environment.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of combustion. Evacuate non-essential personnel from fire area. All
ignition sources should be extinguished. Fire fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment, including self contained breathing apparatus and impervious
clothing. Keep containers cooled with water spray to prevent rupture from excess heat. Fire and Explosion Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards of this
product are known. Hazardous Products: Thermal decomposition of this product may generate oxides of carbon.
Section Six Accidental Release Measures
Caution: Ventilate area immediately. If spilled, floors may be extremely slippery. Wear appropriate protective gear to avoid skin or eye contact. Extinguish all
ignition sources. Dike and contain spill with inert material(sand, clay). Transfer liquid and solids to separate containers for recovery or proper disposal. Keep spill out
of storm sewers and open bodies of water. After removal, flush area with water. Follow good industrial hygiene practices. Wash thoroughly after clean-up. If
uncertain about proper disposal, contact your local waste disposal provider or the regional office of the Environmental Protection Agency for guidance.
Section Seven Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Avoid breathing vapor, spray or mist. Use product only according to label directions. If unsure about safe use, contact
your supervisor immediately. Wash with soap and water after handling. Storage: Store in original container in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from
sources of ignition. Store away from food or feed. Containers should be kept tightly closed when not in use. Keep in an area inaccessible to small children.
Section Eight Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory: Respiratory protection is not expected to be necessary under normal conditions of use.
Gloves: Use water impervious gloves, such as latex or neoprene rubber. Eye Protection: Chemical resistant goggles or face shield are recommended.
Other: Protective clothing(long sleeves, pants), eye wash, safety shower are always advisable when working with chemicals.
Engineering Controls
Ventilation: In applications where sprays or mists may be generated, proper ventilation in accordance with good industrial hygiene should be provided.
