3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Inhalation: Vapor may cause nasal and respiratory irritation.
Eye Contact: Mild eye irritation.
Skin Contact: Mild Irritation and possibly an allergic rash.
Ingestion: Can cause gastrointestinal irritation.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove from exposure. If severe breathing difficulty should arise immediately seek medical aid. If
breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. DO NOT rub the eyes.
Immediately seek medical aid. If wearing contact lenses, immediately flush eyes with water for a short period prior to
removing contacts, then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Immediately seek medical aid.
Skin Contact: Flush exposed skin with large amounts of water. Then use soap and water to clean area. Remove
contaminated clothing. Seek medical aid if severe irritation develops.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical aid immediately. Do not attempt to give anything to an
unconscious person. Drink one or more ounces of water and/or milk as tolerated. Call a physician or poison center
(800) 837-0496. If outside the US, call 1 (404) 616-9000.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point NA Lower Explosive Limit NA
Auto-ignition NA Upper Explosive Limit NA
Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical, foam or water fog.
Fire-Fighting Procedures: Fire from a separate fuel source may be intense enough to cause thermal
decomposition releasing toxic fumes and/or gases. Wear complete fire service protective equipment, including full-
face NIOSH and NFPA 鈥? approved self-containing breathing apparatus.
Fire and Explosion Hazard: Closed containers may explode (due to the build up of steam pressure) when exposed
to extreme heat. Water could evaporate to expose a combustible residue. Under fire conditions the product may
emit irritants, toxic gas and/or fumes.
