SECTION III - TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
SPECIAL NOTE: MSDS data pertains to the product as dispensed from the container. Adverse health effects would not be expected under recommended
conditions of use so long as prescribed safety precautions are practiced.
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE:
Based on limited test data inhalation at low levels (app. 2000 ppm) may lead to mild central nervous system (CNS) effects such as headache, dizziness,
nausea, irritation and loss of concentration. Extreme exposure to high levels (greater than 20,000 ppm) can result in CNS depression characterized by
intoxication or stupor, cardiac arrhythmia (via possible cardiac sensitization to epinephrine) or possible death; and asphyxition can occur especially in
confined spaces. Ingestion may cause symptoms similar to those from inhalation. Skin and eye contact can cause irritation along with defatting of the
skin and conjuctivitis of the eyes.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
Skin which is repeatedly defatted by contact with this product may be more susceptible to irritation, infection, or dermatitis.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inh.
SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
