Revision Date 06/03/2007
General advice : Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur.
Inhalation : Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is
difficult. Get medical attention.
Skin contact : Remove contaminated clothing/shoes and wipe excess from
skin. Flush skin with water. Follow by washing with soap and
water. In case of inflammation (redness, irritation, ...) obtain
medical attention. Show this sheet to the doctor.
Eye contact : Flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes while holding
eyelids open. Rest eyes for 30 minutes. If redness, burning,
blurred vision or swelling persist, consult a physician.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. Have victim rinse out mouth with water,
then drink sips of water to remove taste from mouth. In general,
no treatment is necessary unless large quantites of product are
ingested. However, get medical advice.
Notes to physician
Symptoms : Irritation of the skin
SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing : Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
media
Specific hazards during fire : Material will not burn unless preheated.
fighting
Evacuate the area of all non-essential personnel. Containers
exposed to intense heat from fires should be cooled with water
to prevent vapor pressure buildup which could result in container
rupture. Container areas exposed to direct flame contact should
be cooled with large quantities of water as needed to prevent
weakening of container structure. Cool fire exposed containers
with water.
Special protective : Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet
equipment for fire-fighters with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots).
including a positive pressure NIOSH approved self-contained
breathing apparatus.

Material Safety Data Sheet
HELOXY鈩? Modifier 68
Version 6.1 Print Date 07/06/2007
Revision Date 06/03/2007
Personal precautions : May burn although not readily ignitable.
Use cautious judgement when cleaning up large spills.
Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risk.
Environmental precautions : Dike and contain.
Contain run-off and dispose of properly.
Remove contaminated soil to remove contaminated trace
residues.
Prevent from entering into drains, ditches or rivers.
Clean-up methods - small : Take up with an absorbent material and place in non-leaking
spillage containers.
Seal tightly for proper disposal.
Clean-up methods - large : Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage
spillage vessels.
Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other
suitable material; place in non-leaking containers for proper
disposal.
Flush area with water to remove trace residue.
Additional advice : Notify authorities if any exposures to the general public or
environment occurs or is likely to occur.
See Section 13 for information on disposal.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Advice on safe handling : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing Wash thoroughly
after handling. Containers, even those that have been emptied,
can contain hazardous product residues. Surfaces that are
sufficiently hot may ignite even liquid product in the absence of
sparks or flame. WARNING. May cause skin sensitization.
Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking,
applying cosmetics, or using toilet facilities. Launder
contaminated clothing before reuse. Contaminated leather
articles, including shoes, cannot be decontaminated and should
be destroyed to prevent reuse.
Storage
Requirements for storage : Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep away
areas and containers from open flames and high temperatures. Keep containers
closed when not in use.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Protective measures : Wear appropriate respirator and protective clothing.
Engineering measures : Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations.
Eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available for
emergency use.
: Use local exhaust ventilation.
Eye protection : Avoid contact with eyes.
Wear chemical goggles.
Skin and body protection : Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
Wear chemical-resistant gloves and other clothing as required to
minimize contact.
Respiratory protection : Avoid breathing vapor or mists.
Use a NIOSH-approved respirator as required to prevent
overexposure.
In accord with 29 CFR 1910.134, the types of respirator(s) to be
considered include:
Air-Purifying Respirator for Organic Vapors.
Full-Face Supplied-Air Respirator.

Potential Health Effects
Inhalation : Not expected to be a relevant route of exposure, however,
under conditions where exposure to vapors or mists is possible,
could cause respiratory tract irritation.
Skin : May be mildly irritating to the skin.
May cause skin sensitization.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause defatting and
drying of the skin which may result in a burning sensation and a
dried, cracked appearance.
Eyes : May be mildly irritating to the eyes.
