Section III Hazards Identification
FLAMMABLE LIQUID
Causes Eye Irritation
Ingestion may cause blindness.
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors as it may cause dizziness, nausea and/or headache.
Avoid prolonged and/or repeated skin contact as it may cause drying, cracking and/or irritation.
NFPA Hazard Rating : Health 1; Flammability - 3; Chemical Reactivity - 0
Personal Protection - C
Section IV First Aid Measures
If inhaled, remove person to fresh air. Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention if symptoms
persist. In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20
minutes. Remove contact lenses. Get medical attention. In case of skin contact, wash skin with
soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash
clothing before re-use. If ingested, dilute with plenty of fluids, induce vomiting, seek immediate
medical attention.

Section V Fire Fighting Measures
IN CASE OF FIRE : Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Vapors may travel a considerable distance causing a flash fire or flashback. Use a dry chemical
carbon dioxide (CO2) , or foam. Keep fire exposed containers cool with a water spray. Water
may be ineffective in fire-fighting.
Hazardous combustion products : Carbon monoxide (CO) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Section VI Accidental Release Measures
Procedures to be used in case of leak/spill : Eliminate all ignition sources. Assure adequate
ventilation and/or respirators for clean-up personnel. For large spills use water spray to disperse
vapors and flush spill area. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers and streams. Wipe
smaller spills with untreated clean cloths, wipes or vermiculite. Dispose of same by incineration.
Waste Disposal : Dispose of minute excess by placing container out doors and allow to
evaporate.
Section VII Handling & Storage
Handling procedures & equipment : Product should be sprayed into a cloth or swab (the
applicator) by lightly and partially depressing sprayer. Applicator should be touching sprayer
when spraying as this will eliminate a large percentage of product from becoming airborne and
significantly reduce wasting product. When used as directed and intended, this product does not
require special handling procedures, HOWEVER, when product is in constant or repeated use,
adequate ventilation must be provided, and protective gloves should be worn. Because PEC-12 is
designed to remove skin oils from film/prints, persons with chronically dry or sensitive skin,
excema, etc. should wear gloves regardless of frequency of handling.
Storage requirements : Store away from heat and/or ignition sources, open flames, etc. For added
safety, a storage cabinet specifically designed for flammable liquids should be utilized.
Section VIII Exposure Controls & Personal Protection
NFPA Hazard Rating : Personal Protection - C
Respiratory protection : a respirator for organic solvents should be used if airborne cannot be
maintained below recommended limits (12 air changes per hour or 850ppm). Eye protection :
wear safety goggles with side shields. Skin protection : gloves should be worn for prolonged or
repeated contact. A high quality plastic examination glove should be adequate. Recommended
decontamination facilities : eye bath and washing facilities.
Exposure Limits : 850 ppm ACGIH ; OSHA STEL-C value of 200ppm.

Section XI Toxicological Information
Routes of entry : inhalation, skin, ingestion , eyes
Effects of acute exposure : ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, flushing, central nervous
system depression or excitement, drowsiness, impaired perception, incoordination, stupor, coma,
altered blood fats, abnormal heart rhythm and respiratory arrest. Acute inhalation may cause
headache, irritation of the nose & upper respiratory tract and eyes, narcosis, numbness &
difficulty breathing.
Effects of chronic exposure : Chronic ingestion of an ingredient in the product has been shown to
cause degeneration of the liver in experimental animals. Chronic dermal exposure to the product
has been shown to cause dermatitis in experimental animals. Chronic dermal exposure to product
can result in dry and fissured skin

Section XII Ecological Information
This summary is designed to provide assistance should an accidental spill occur during shipment
and does not address discharges to sanitary sewers or publicly owned treatment facilities. This
3
product is expected to have a high BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and a potential to cause
oxygen depletion in aquatic systems. It has a low potential to affect aquatic organisms and a low
potential to persist in the environment. When diluted with large volumes of water, this product is
not expected to have a significant impact as it is readily biodegradable and is not expected to
bioconcentrate.
Section XIII Disposal Considerations
Incinerate. Residual vapors should be allowed to evaporate from empty container before
discarding. Applicators which contain product in the amounts required for normal usage may be
left to evaporate.
contains no chemicals which are classified as F001 or F002 as defined in the EPA
