Section VI - Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? Skin? Ingestion?
Yes No Yes
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)
Acute effects are possible irritation and discomfort; no known chronic effects have been established.
Carcinogenicity: NTP? IARC Monographs? OSHA Regulated?
No No No
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure
Inhalation: Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Serious effects may be delayed following
exposure. Skin: No known significant effects or critical hazards. Eyes: No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Ingestion: Moderately toxic; may cause headache, dizziness, diarrhea and general weakness; large doses may result
in red blood cell hemolysis.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing skin, eye, or respiratory disorders may become aggravated through prolonged exposure.
Emergency and First Aid Procedure
Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie, belt, or waistband. Skin:
Remove contaminated clothing; wash affected area with soap and water; launder contaminated clothing before reuse; if
irritation persists, seek medical attention. Eyes: Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open; seek
medical attention. Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Seek medical attention.
Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
Small spills -- Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble
or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed
waste disposal contractor.
Waste Disposal Method
Dispose of in accordance with Local, State, and Federal Regulations.
