May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may
dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, buring, drying and
cracking of skin, and skin burns.
Swallowing
Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling
is not likely to cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts
may be harmful.
Inhalation
Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing small amounts
of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause
harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful.
Symptoms of Exposure
stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea),
irritation (nose, throat, airways), central nervous system
depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea,
headache, unconsciousness), and death.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from
exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes gently with water for at
least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate
medical attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and
water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder
clothing before reuse.
Swallowing
Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious,
do not give anything by mouth; place individual on the left side
with the head down. Contact a physician, medical facility, or
poison control center for advice about whether to induce vomiting.
If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
Inhalation
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from
exposure and into fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention;
keep person warm and quiet. If person is not breathing, begin
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer
oxygen.
Note to Physicians
Inhalation of high concentrations of this material, as could occur
in enclosed spaces or during deliberate abuse, may be associated
with cardiac arrhythmias. Sympathomimetic drugs may initiate
cardiac arrhythmias in persons exposed to this material.

Fire Fighting Instructions
Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool until fire
is out. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with
appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal
protective equipment. Refer to the personal protective equipment
section of this MSDS.

__________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill
Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent, or other absorbent
material and transfer to hood.
Large Spill
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from
area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at
source, dike area of spill to prevent spreading, pump liquid to
salvage tank. Remaining liquid may be taken up on sand, clay,
earth, floor absorbent, or other absorbent material and shoveled
into containers.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since
emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or
solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be
observed.
Storage
Not applicable

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are
advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety
glasses. Consult your safety representative.
Skin Protection
Wear resistant gloves such as: polyvinyl alcohol, Viton, To
prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious
clothing and boots..
Respiratory Protections
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is
exceeded (See Exposure Guidelines), a NIOSH/MSHA approved air
supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental
control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA
respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions
(consult your industrial hygienist). Engineering or
administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust)
ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s).
