SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AEROSOL. Vapours may catch fire. Content under pressure. Prolonged or excessive inhalation
may cause mild central nervous system depression and have neurological effects. May cause headache, nausea, dizziness,
vomiting and incoordination. Prolonged or excessive ingestion may cause aspiration of liquid into the lungs and cause chemical
pneumonitis or even death. IRRITANT. Causes moderate to severe eye irritations. May cause slight skin irritations. POSSIBLE
MUTAGEN and REPRODUCTIVE HAZARD - may cause genetic damage and harmful effets to the fetus, based on animal
information.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (for more details, refer to Section 11)
Skin, eye, ingestion and inhalation.
Primary entry route(s):
Effects of short-term (acute) and long-term (chronic) exposure:
Inhalation:
Prolonged or excessive inhalation may cause mild central nervous system depression and have neurological effects. May
cause headache, nausea, dizziness, vomiting and incoordination.
Skin:
May cause slight skin irritations. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause dermatitis (dry skin).
Eye:
Causes moderate to severe eye irritations.
Ingestion:
Prolonged or excessive ingestion may cause aspiration of liquid into the lungs and cause chemical pneumonitis or even death.

SUPER WASH
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
Remove source of contamination or have victim move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Skin contact:
Flush contaminated area with lukewarm, gently running water for at least 20 minutes or until the chemical is removed. Under
running water, remove contaminated clothing. If irritation persists, obtain medical advice. Completely decontaminate clothing
before reuse or discard.
Eye contact:
Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 20 minutes, or until the chemical is
removed, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Ingestion:
NEVER give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing. Rinse mouth
thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim drink two glasses of water. Obtain medical attention
immediately.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Upper flammable limit (% by volume):
Aerosols may explode or become projectiles after a mechanical impact.
Sensitivity to mechanical impact:
N/Av
Sensitivity to static discharge:
Auto-ignition temperature: 225-422癈
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder and alcohol foam.
Suitable extinguishing media:
Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment:
During a fire, irritating/toxic smoke and fumes may be generated. Vapours can accumulate in confined spaces, resulting in a
toxicity and flammability hazard. A self-contained breathing apparatus is required for fire-fighting personnel to protect
themselves from toxic products produced during the combustion. Closed containers may explode with the pressure building
from the heat. Use water to cool fire exposed containers and prevent this situation.
Hazardous combustion products:
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other irritant gases, which may include toxic constituents.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions:
Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Ensure clean-up is conducted by trained personnel only. Remove all
ignition sources. Remove or isolate flammable and combustible materials. Wear adequate personal protective equipment (See
Section 8). Ventilate area.
Spill response/Cleanup:
Stop the flow if it can be done safely. Keep materials which can burn away from spilled material. Prevent material from
entering waterways, sewers or confined spaces. Put material in suitable, covered, labelled containers.
Environmental precautions:
Confine spill, preventing it from entering sewer lines or waterways. Dispose of as per local, state and federal regulations.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Safe handling procedures:
Before handling, it is very important that engineering controls are operating and that protective equipment requirements and
personal hygiene measures are being followed. People working with this chemical should be properly trained regarding its
hazards and its safe use. Do not use near welding operations, flames or hot surfaces. Ensure proper ventilation after sealed
area has been treated. Inspect containers for leaks before handling. Label containers appropriately. Keep containers closed
when not in use. Empty containers are always dangerous. Assume that empty containers contain residues which are hazardous.
Do not use with incompatible materials.
Storage requirements:
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources. Keep storage area clear of ignition sources. Store
away from incompatible materials. Inspect all incoming containers to make sure they are properly labelled and not damaged.
Store in suitable, labelled containers. Keep containers tightly closed. Empty containers are always dangerous. Storage area
should be clearly identified, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained personnel. Inspect periodically for damage or
leaks.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls:
None required under normal handling conditions. Local exhaust ventilation system is recommended to maintain
concentrations of contaminants below exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection:
None required under normal handling conditions. Respiratory protection is required if the concentrations are higher than the
exposure limits. Use a NIOSH approved respirator if the exposure limits are unknown.
Protective Clothing/Equipment:
Wear chemically protective gloves (impervious), and if necessary boots, aprons, and gauntlets to prevent prolonged or
repeated skin contact. Wear protective chemical safety goggles or in a splash environment in combination with a face shield.
Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area. Separate
contaminated work clothes from street clothes. Launder before reuse.
Comments:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapours/dusts. Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good
personal hygiene after using this material.
