Section 2: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Appearance & Odor: Colorless volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor
WARNING
Vapor harmful. Eye irritant. Contents under pressure.
As defined by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, this product is hazardous.
Potential Health Effects:
Irritant. Liquid contact will irritate and may cause conjunctivitis.
EYE:
Prolonged and/or repeated contact with material can cause irritation and defatting
SKIN:
of the skin.
Overexposure to vapor may cause dizziness, loss of concentration and irritation.
INHALATION:
With high exposure levels, effects can include central nervous system (CNS)
depression and cardiac arrhythmia. Product vapors displace air and can cause
suffocation especially in a confined space.
Discomfort due to volatility would be expected. Some of the inhalation effects
INGESTION:
could be expected.
None identified.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
None identified.
TARGET ORGANS:
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Pre-existing respiratory or cardiac conditions could be worsened by exposure to vapors.
See Section 11 for toxicology and carcinogenicity information on product ingredients.

Section 4: First Aid Measures
Immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally to facilitate
Eye Contact:
irrigation. Get medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area with soap and water. Call a physician
Skin Contact:
if irritation persists. Wash contaminated clothing prior to re-use.
Remove person to fresh air. Keep person calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
Inhalation:
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Do NOT give epinephrine (adrenaline). Call a physician.
Do NOT induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a physician. Do NOT give stimulants.
Ingestion:
Get medical attention immediately.
Because of possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs such as
Note to Physicians:
epinephrine should be used with special caution and only in situations of emergency life
support. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the
clinical conditions.
Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
Flammable Properties: This product is nonflammable in accordance with aerosol flammability
definitions (16 CFR 1500.3(c)(6) ).
Flash Point: None Upper Explosive Limit: 17.7
Autoignition Temperature: 1022 F Lower Explosive Limit: 7.6
Choose an extinguishing agent appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Product will decompose at temperatures above 482 F. Decomposition products
Products of Combustion:
include hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl halides, such as phosgene.
Firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus for
Protection of Fire-Fighters:
protection against suffocation and possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye
and skin protection should be provided. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool and to knock down vapors which may result from product
decomposition.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Personal Precautions:

Take precautions to prevent contamination of ground and surface waters. Do not flush
Environmental Precautions:
into sewers or storm drains.
Dike area to contain spill. Eliminate all ignition sources. Ventilate the area
Methods for Containment & Clean-up:
with fresh air. If in confined space or limited air circulation area, clean-up
workers should wear appropriate respiratory protection and other personal
protective equipment. Recover or absorb spilled material using an
absorbent designed for chemical spills. Place used absorbents into proper
waste containers.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Minimize vapor accumulation by providing air circulation. Wear eye protection.
Handling Procedures:
Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Aerosol cans must be maintained below 120 F
Storage Procedures:
to prevent cans from rupturing.
