Section 3: Hazards Identification
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Minor eye, inhalation and skin irritant.
*See Section 11 for toxicological information.
Section 4: First Aid Measures
EYE: Flush with water for 15-20 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
SKIN: Wash immediately with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
Discard shoes and leather articles saturated with the product. Obtain medical advice if irritation
occurs.
INHALATION: Remove exposed person to fresh air. If breathing is labored give oxygen. If breathing has
stopped apply artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If conscious, give 2 glasses of water. If vomiting does occur,
keep head below hips to reduce risk of aspiration. Get immediate medical attention.

Section 11: Toxicological Information
ACUTE EXPOSURE
Eye Irritation: Weak to Moderate irritation. Based on data from components or similar material.
Skin Irritation: Not expected to be a primary skin irritant. Based on data from components or similar
material. Prolonged or repeated skin contact as from clothing wet with material may
cause dermatitis. Symptoms may include redness, edema, drying, defatting, and
cracking of the skin.
Respiratory Irritation: If material is misted or if vapors are generated from heating, exposure may cause
irritation of mucous membranes and the upper respiratory tract similar to that observed
with mineral oil. Based on data from components or similar materials. Under good
industrial hygiene practices where all exposure limits are observed, respiratory irritation
should not be a problem.
Inhalation Toxicity: High concentrations or prolonged exposure may cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue
nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, stupor, other central nervous system effects leading to
visual impairment, respiratory failure, unconsciousness and death.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE
Chronic Toxicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% are chronic health
hazards.
Carcinogenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 0.1% are a carcinogenic
hazard.
Mutagenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a mutagenic
or genotoxic hazard.
Reproductive Toxicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
reproductive hazard.
Teratogenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
teratogenic hazards.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Exposure Limits: Under conditions which may generate mists, observe the OSHA PEL of 5 mg per cubic
meter.
