3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Ingestion
Skin absorption
Emergency Overview:
This section not in use.
This product contains ingredients that may contribute to the following potential acute health effects:
Inhalation Effects:
Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain, nervous system, or respiratory system, causing dizziness, headache, nausea or
respiratory irritation.
Eye Contact:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin Contact:
May cause moderate skin irritation.
Acute Ingestion:
None known
Other Effects:
May cause kidney damage. May cause liver damage.
This product contains ingredients that may contribute to the following potential chronic health effects:
Notice: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain
and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful
or fatal. Prolonged and/or repeated contact can result in skin irritation. May cause skin drying with prolonged exposure.
See Section 11 for toxicological information about Mutagens, Teratogens and Carcinogens.
If this section is blank, no information is available.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
If affected by inhalation, move victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Eye Contact:
In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get
medical attention immediately after flushing.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists get
medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean
contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, contact medical personnel immediately to determine best course of action.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: Any respiratory or skin condition.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Lower explosive limit: 1%
Upper explosive limit: 13 %
Autoignition temperature: Not available. ?F ( ?C)
Sensitivity to impact: No.
Product ID: 451.0020370.076

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Sensitivity to static discharge: Subject to static discharge hazards. Please see bonding and
grounding information in Section 7.
Hazardous combustion products: See Section 10.
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Contaminated rags, wipes, saw dust, etc., may catch fire spontaneously. Store waste under water in closed metal
containers until disposed of in compliance with applicable regulations. Contains oxidizable materials.
Extinguishing media:
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam and/or water fog.
Fire fighting procedures:
Use water spray to cool nearby containers and structures exposed to fire. Firefighters should be equipped with self-
contained breathing apparatus and turn out gear.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Action to be taken if material is released or spilled:
Ventilate area. Avoid breathing of vapors. Use self-containing breathing apparatus or airmask for large spills in a
confined area. Wipe, scrape or soak up in an inert material and put in a container for disposal. See section 5, "Unusual
Fire and Explosion Hazards", for proper container and storage procedures. Remove sources of ignition. Remove with
inert absorbent and non sparking tools. Avoid contact with eyes.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not store above 120 degrees F.
(49 degrees C). Based on flash point and vapor pressure, suitable storage should be provided in accordance with OSHA
regulation 1910.106, Ontario OH&S regulation 851 section 22. Empty containers may contain product residue, including
flammable or explosive vapors. Do not cut, puncture or weld on or near container. All label warnings must be observed
until the container has been commercially cleaned or reconditioned. If the product is used near or above the flashpoint,
an ignition hazard may be present. Activities, uses, or operations which liberate vapor (such as mixing or free fall of
liquids) may also present an ignition hazard. Please ensure containers and other interconnected equipment are properly
bonded and grounded at all times.
8. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye and face protection:
Avoid contact with eyes. Wear chemical goggles if there is the possibility of contact or splashing in the eye.
Skin protection:
Appropriate chemical resistant gloves should be worn.To prevent skin contact wear protective clothing covering all
exposed areas.
Respiratory protection:
If exposure cannot be controlled below applicable limits, use the appropriate NIOSH approved respirator such as an air
purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge and dust/mist filter. Consult the respirator manufacturer's literature to
ensure that the respirator will provide adequate protection. Read and follow all respirator manufacturer's instructions.
Ventilation
Required when spraying or applying in confined area. Ventilation equipment should be explosion proof. Eliminate
ignition sources.
