Direct contact may cause irritation and redness. Product may be dermal absorbed. Skin
Skin
inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, or reddening. Defatting properties, may
aggravate an existing dermatitis.
Inhalation Avoid breathing vapors, spray or mists. Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory
irritation. Can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression. High vapor concentrations can
cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness and nausea and may lead to unconsciousness.
Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage.
Vomiting increases risk of chemical pneumonia or pulmonary edema caused by aspiration of
hydrocarbon solvents.
Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin and cause irritation. Overexposure of this product by
