slight irritation of eyes, skin, and other contaminated tissue. This product
is not flammable or reactive. Emergency responders must wear the personal
protective equipment suitable for the situation to which they are responding.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The primary routes of
overexposure for the solution are via inhalation and contact with skin and
eyes. The following paragraphs describe the symptoms of overexposure to this
material.
INHALATION: If vapors, mists, or sprays of this product are inhaled, they
HEALTH (BLUE) 1 may slightly irritate the nose, throat, and lungs. Symptoms
may include the following: sneezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing.
These symptoms generally are alleviated when the overexposure ends.

PART II What should I do if a hazardous situation occurs?
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
SKIN EXPOSURE: If this product contaminates the skin, begin decontamination
with running water. The minimum flushing is for 15 minutes if the overexposure
results in slight irritation. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking
care not to contaminate eyes. Victim must seek immediate medical attention if
any adverse effect occurs.
EYE EXPOSURE: If this product's liquid or vapors enter the eyes, open
contaminated individual's eyes while under gently running water. Use
sufficient force to open eyelids. Have contaminated individual "roll" eyes.
Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Contaminated individual must seek
immediate medical attention.
INHALATION: If vapors, mists, or sprays of this product are inhaled, remove
contaminated individual to fresh air. If necessary, use artificial respiration
to support vital functions. Remove or cover gross contamination to avoid
exposure to rescuers.
INGESTION: If this product is swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL
CENTER FOR MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. If professional advice is not available,
do not induce vomiting. Contaminated individual should drink milk, egg whites,
or large quantities of water. Never induce vomiting or give diluents (milk or
water) to someone who is unconscious, havinq convulsions, or unable to
swallow. Contaminated individuals must be taken for medical attention if any
adverse reaction occurs. Rescuers should be taken for medical attention, if
necessary. Take a copy of label and MSDS to health professional with
contaminated individual.

SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Incipient fire responders should wear eye
protection. Structural fire fighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing
Apparatus and full protective equipment. Chemical resistant clothing may be
necessary. Move containers from fire area if they have not been exposed to
heat and if it can be done without risk to personnel. If this product is
involved in a fire, fire run-off water should be contained to prevent
possible environmental damage.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE: Uncontrolled releases should be responded to by
trained personnel using pre-planned procedures. Proper protective equipment
should be used. In case of a large spill, clear the affected area, and protect
people. In the event of a non-incidental release (e.g., 55-gallon release in
which excessive splashes or sprays can be generated), minimum Personal
Protective Equipment should be Level C: triple-gloves (rubber gloves and
nitrile gloves, over latex gloves), chemically resistant suit and boots,
hard-hat, and an air-purifying respirator with a high-efficiency particulate
filter. Level B, which include Self Contained Breathing Apparatus, must be
worn in situations in which the oxygen level is less than 19.5% or unknown.
Absorb spilled liquid with polypads or other suitable absorbent materials.
Decontaminate the area thoroughly. Place all spill residue in a suitable
container and seal. Dispose of in accordance with Canadian Federal, Provincial, and
local waste disposal regulations (see Section 13, Disposal Considerations).
PART III How can I prevent hazardous situations from occurring?
7. HANDLING and STORAGE
WORK PRACTICES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES: As with all chemicals, avoid getting
this product ON YOU or IN YOU. Wash hands after handling this product. Do not
eat, drink, smoke or apply cosmetics while handling this product. All work
practices should minimize the generation of splashes and aerosols. Remove
contaminated clothing immediately.
STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: All employees who handle this material
should be trained to handle it safely. Avoid breathing vapors or mists
generated by this product. Use in a well-ventilated location. Open containers
slowly, on a stable surface. Containers of this product must be properly
labeled. Empty containers may contain residual liquid or vapors therefore,
empty containers should be handled with care. Store containers in a cool,
dry location, away from direct sunlight, sources of intense heat, or where
freezing is possible. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10,
Stability and Reactivity). Material should be stored in secondary containers,
or in a diked area, as appropriate. Keep container tightly closed when not in
use. Inspect all incoming containers before storage, to ensure containers
are properly labeled and not damaged. PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE
OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices indicated in Section 6
(Accidental Release Measures). Make certain that application equipment is
locked and tagged-out safely, if necessary. Collect all rinsates and dispose
of according to applicable Federal, Provincial, or local procedures.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS - PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Exhaust directly to the outside. Use
local exhaust ventilation, and process enclosure if necessary, to control mist
formation. Supply sufficient replacement air to make up for air removed by
system. Ensure eyewash/safety shower stations are available near areas where
this product is used.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Maintain airborne contaminant concentrations below
exposure limits listed in Section 2 (Composition and Information on
Ingredients If respiratory protection is needed, use only protection
authorized in 29 CFR 1910.134 or applicable U.S. State regulations (or the
appropriate standards of Canada and its Provinces). Use supplied air
respiration protection during response procedures to non-incidental releases
and if oxygen levels are below 19.5% or are unknown.
EYE PROTECTION: Splash goggles or safety glasses.
HAND PROTECTION: Wear Neoprene or Rubber gloves for routine industrial use.
Use triple gloves for spill response, as stated in Section 6 (Accidental
Release Measures) of this MSDS.
