3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency and Hazards Overview
WARNING: FLAMMABLE. EYE IRRITANT.
NFPA Ratings: Health 1 Flammability 3 Reactivity 0
Primary Route of Exposure: Skin X Inhalation -- Eye --
Health Effect Information
Eye Contact: Avoid eye contact. This product has not been tested for acute eye hazards. May be
irritating to the eyes upon direct contact.
Skin Contact: Single, short exposures, as expected with consumer use of this product, are expected to be
practically non-irritating to the skin. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may result in dryness,
chapping, and reddening. May be absorbed through skin.
Inhalation: This product is not expected to pose an inhalation hazard under conditions of foreseeable
use. Exposure to vapors generated under unusual conditions may be mildly irritating to the nose
and throat.
Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal distress.
