Hazardous Identification Information:
PHYSICAL HAZARDS:
Aqueous solutions may produce flammable vapors.
Slightly combustible liquid.
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS (Short Term):
Eyes: May cause minimal irritation, experienced as temporary discomfort.
Skin: Brief contact is not irritating. Prolonged contact, as with clothing wetted with material, may cause defatting of skin or
irritation, seen as local redness with possible mild discomfort.
Other than the potential skin irritation effects noted above, acute (short term) adverse effects are not expected from brief skin
contact.
Inhalation: Vapors or mist, in excess of permissible concentrations, or in unusually high concentrations generated from
spraying, heating the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may cause irritation of the nose
and throat, headache, nausea, and drowsiness.
Ingestion: If more than several mouthfuls are swallowed, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea may occur. Aspiration
may occur during swallowing or vomiting resulting in lung damage.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS:
No chronic health effects are expected from anticipated conditions of normal use of this material unless aerosol is generated.
4. First Aid Measures:
Route(s) of Entry:
Eye Contact, Skin Contact, Inhalation, Ingestion.
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic):
Not expected to present an acute health hazard upon short term exposure.
No chronic health effects are expected from anticipated conditions of normal use of this material unless aeroso is generated.
Signs and Symptoms:
INHALATION:
Not a primary route. No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any adverse health hazard are expected to occur as a result
of inhalation exposure.
EYE CONTACT:
Primary route. May cause minor eye irritation.
SKIN ABSORPTION:
Not a primary route. No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any health hazard are expected to occur as a result of skin
absorption exposure.
SKIN IRRITATION:
Not a primary route. No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any health hazard are expected to occur as a result of skin
skin exposure.
INGESTION:
Not a primary route. No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any health hazard are expected to occur as a result of

EMERGENCY FIRST AID
Call toll free: 1-800-740-5015
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for several minutes. Get medical attention if eye Irritation persists.
Skin:
Wash skin with plenty of soap and water for several minutes. Get medical attention If skin irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
If person is conscious and can swallow, give two glasses of water (16 oz.) but do not Induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give
fluids again. Have medical personnel determine if evacuation of stomach or induction of vomiting Is necessary. Do not give
anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Inhalation:
If irritation, headache, nausea, or drowsiness occurs, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if breathing becomes difficult or
respiratory Irritation persists.
Other Instructions:
Aspiration of this product during induced emesis may result in severe lung injury. If evacuation of stomach is necessary, use
method least likely to cause aspiration, such as gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. Contact a Poison Center for
additional treatment information.
Other Health Warnings:
NI
5. Fire Fighting Measures:

F.P. Method: CC
Fire Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, alcohol type foam, water spray, water fog.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Prevent human exposure to fire, fumes, smoke, and products of combustion. Evacuate nonessential personnel. Liquid may
form slippery film. Firefighters should wear full face, self contained breathing apparatus and impervious protective clothing.
Water or foam may cause frothing. Use water to cool containers exposed to fire.
Notify authorities if liquid enters sewers or public waters.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
None known.
6. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Prevent flow to sewers and public waters as it may contaminate said water. Restrict water usage to prevent slip/fall hazard. Soak
up smal spill with inert solids. Dike and recover large land spills. Use suitable disposal containers. On water, material is soluble
and may float or sink. May biodegrade Contain/collect rapidly to minimize dispersion. Notify appropriate authorities if product
enters any waterway.
7. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Wear protective equipment when handling. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not get in eyes. Do not breathe vapor or mist.
Do not swallow.
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool dry place. Store in accordance with nfpa requirements. Keep out of
reach of children

Other Precautions:
Do not reuse product containers and dispose of in accordance with all federal, state and local regulation. Since emptied
container contains product reisdues (vapor or liquid), all labeled hazard precautions must be observed.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
Ventilation Requirements:
Adequate ventilation is required to minimize exposure or to maintain exposure levels below OSHA/ACGIH requirements.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Eyes: Chemical goggles, always wear eye protection when working with chemicals. Do not wear contact lenses when working
with chemicals
Skin: Clean body covering clothing, impervious gloves
Inhalation: If exposure limits are exceeded, or if exposure may occur, use a NIOSH/MSHA respirator approved for your conditions
of exposure. Refer to the most recent NIOSH publications concerning chemical hazards, or consult your safety equipment
supplier. Respiratory protection programs must be in compliance with OSHA requirements in 29 CFR 1910.134. For
emergencies, a NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure breathing apparatus should be readily available.
