Section 3. Hazards Identification HMIS
Health 1
Acute Effects Routes of Entry Dermal contact. Inhalation.
Fire Hazard 4
Skin Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator). Direct contact may cause irritation Reactivity 0
and redness. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, or reddening. Product
may be dermal absorbed. Defatting properties, may aggravate an existing dermatitis
Eyes Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant). Inflammation of the eye is characterized by Personal Protection B
redness, watering, and itching.
Inhalation Hazardous in case of inhalation (lung irritant). Over-exposure by inhalation may cause
respiratory irritation. Can cause central nervous system depression. Symptoms and signs
include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and, in extreme cases,
loss of consciousness. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Respiratory
Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage.
Vomiting increases risk of chemical pneumonia.
NOTE: MSDS data pertains to the product as delivered in the original shipping container(s). Risk of adverse health effects are lessened by
following all prescribed safety precautions, including use of proper personal protective equipment.
Carcinogenic Effects Ingredients: Not listed as carcinogen by OSHA, NTP or IARC.
Chronic Effects Prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis with drying and cracking of skin. Over-exposure by

Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage. Do NOT induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent
aspiration. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.

TCC
Extremely flammable. (CSMA) Aerosol that may flashback.
Flammability
Fire Hazard Vapor may cause fire. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas, travel considerable
distance to source of ignition and flash back. Container explosion may occur under fire
conditions or when heated.
Fire-Fighting Procedures Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam. Wear special protective clothing and
positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool containing
vessels with water jet in order to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or
explosion.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Clean up Large spills are unlikely due to packaging.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition
source. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Do not ingest. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition source.
Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store above 49癈
(120.2癋). Do not puncture or incinerate. Keep out of the reach of children.
Section 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Personal Protection Protective Clothing (Pictograms)
