3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Volatile nonflammable liquid. Vapors can cause unconsciousness at high concentration, and can
decompose to form toxic gases at flame temperatures.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Skin Contact: Can irritate by removing natural skin oils on long or repeated exposures.
Eyes: Irritating.
Inhalation: Dizziness, nausea, unconsciousness at high concentrations.
Ingestion: Low oral dose toxicity in test animals.
Medical conditions known to be aggravated by exposure to product: None
4. FIRST AID
Skin Contact: Wash off with soap and water. Use soothing lotion.
Eyes: Rinse carefully under upper and lower eyelids using plenty of water.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air if dizzy or nauseated. If unconscious, call physician immediately.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Accidental ingestion of a single mouthful is not expected to cause significant harm.
NOTE: In all severe cases, contact physician immediately. Local telephone operators can furnish number of regional poison control center.
5. FIRE HAZARD
Conditions of flammability: Nonflammable.
Flash point: None.
Flammable limits in air: 10% to 15% with intense ignition source.
Extinguishing media: None, self-extinguishing.
Special fire fighting procedures: Keep containers cool with water spray.
Hazardous combustion products: Smoke, soot, oxides of carbon, phosgene and hydrochloric acid. (See Section 10).
