| SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
APPEARANCE & ODOR: COLORLESS LIQUID, IRRITATING ODOR AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
WARNING
VAPOR HARMFUL.
AS DEFINED BY OSHA'S HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD, THIS PRODUCT IS
HAZARDOUS.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE:
LIQUID CONTACT WILL PRODUCE MILD EYE IRRITATION. VAPORS MAY ALSO CAUSE
IRRITATION. CORNEAL INJURY IS UNLIKELY.
SKIN:
PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION, DRYING, FLAKING,
DEFATTING AND POSSIBLY DERMATITIS OR SKIN BURNS. A SINGLE PROLONGED
EXPOSURE IS NOT LIKELY TO RESULT IN THE MATERIAL BEING ABSORBED THROUGH
SKIN IN HARMFUL AMOUNTS.
INHALATION:
EXPOSURE TO VAPORS MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. SYMPTOMS
INCLUDE DIZZINESS AND LOSS OF COORDINATION AND COULD LEAD TO
UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR DEATH. EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE MAY INCREASE SENSITIVITY TO
EPINEPHRINE AND INCREASE MYOCARDIAL IRRITABILITY.
INGESTION:
SINGLE DOSE TOXICITY IS LOW. SWALLOWING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT CAN CAUSE
GASTROINTESTINAL DISTURBANCES AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. IF
ASPIRATED INTO LUNGS, DURING SWALLOWING OR VOMITING, LIQUID MAY BE RAPIDLY
ABSORBED THROUGH THE LUNGS AND RESULT IN INJURY TO OTHER BODY SYSTEMS.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
CHRONIC IMMERSION OF SKIN IN THIS LIQUID MAY LEAD TO ABSORPTION THROUGH
SKIN. THIS MAY CAUSE NUMBNESS IN THE IMMERSED AREA. EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF
VAPORS MAY INCREASE SENSITIVITY TO EPINEPHRINE AND INCREASE MYOCARDIAL
IRRITABILITY.
TARGET ORGANS:
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM; LIVER, KIDNEY EFFECTS SEEN IN LABORATORY ANIMALS
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
PRE-EXISTING SKIN CONDITIONS, RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS
SEE SECTION 11 FOR TOXICOLOGY AND CARCINOGENICITY INFORMATION ON PRODUCT
INGREDIENTS.

| SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. CALL A PHYSICIAN IF
IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER.
CALL A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING PRIOR
TO RE-USE.
INHALATION:
REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR. KEEP PERSON CALM. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A
PHYSICIAN.
INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CONTACT PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS:
BECAUSE RAPID ABSORPTION MAY OCCUR THROUGH LUNGS IF ASPIRATED AND CAUSE
SYSTEMIC EFFECTS, THE DECISION OF WHETHER TO INDUCE VOMITING OR NOT SHOULD
BE MADE BY A PHYSICIAN. IF LAVAGE IS PERFORMED, SUGGEST ENDOTRACHEAL AND/OR
ESOPHAGEAL CONTROL. IF BURN IS PRESENT, TREAT AS ANY THERMAL BURN, AFTER
DECONTAMINATION. EXPOSURE MAY INCREASE MYOCARDIAL IRRITABILITY. DO NOT
ADMINISTER SYMPATHOMIMETIC DRUGS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. NO SPECIFIC
ANTIDOTE.
| SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES | |
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:
THIS MATERIAL IS NONFLAMMABLE ACCORDING TO OSHA DEFINITIONS, HOWEVER, IT
CAN BE MADE TO BURN UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
FLASH POINT: NONE (TCC)
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: ND
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: 44.8%
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: 8.0%
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: USE MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION:
HYDROGEN CHLORIDE, TRACE AMOUNTS OF PHOSGENE, CHLORINE, AND CARBON
MONOXIDE.
PROTECTION OF FIRE-FIGHTERS:
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED, NIOSH-APPROVED BREATHING APPARATUS
FOR PROTECTION AGAINST SUFFOCATION AND POSSIBLE TOXIC DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS. PROPER EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED. USE WATER
SPRAY TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL AND TO KNOCK DOWN VAPORS WHICH
MAY RESULT FROM PRODUCT DECOMPOSITION.
| SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
USE PERSONAL PROTECTION RECOMMENDED IN SECTION 8. DO NOT BREATHE VAPORS.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF GROUND AND SURFACE WATERS. DO
NOT FLUSH INTO SEWERS OR STORM DRAINS.
METHODS FOR CONTAINMENT & CLEAN-UP:
DIKE AREA TO CONTAIN SPILL. VENTILATE THE AREA WITH FRESH AIR. IF IN
CONFINED SPACE OR LIMITED AIR CIRCULATION AREA, CLEAN-UP WORKERS SHOULD
WEAR APPROPRIATE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. RECOVER OR ABSORB SPILLED MATERIAL
USING AN ABSORBENT DESIGNED FOR CHEMICAL SPILLS. PLACE USED ABSORBENTS INTO
PROPER WASTE CONTAINERS.
| SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING PROCEDURES:
PREVENT SKIN AND EYE CONTACT. WASH HANDS AFTER USE AND BEFORE CONTACTING
FOOD. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL COLLECT
IN LOW AREAS OR CONFINED SPACES. MAKE SURE VENTILATION REMOVES VAPORS FROM
LOW AREAS.
STORAGE PROCEDURES:
STORE IN A COOL DRY AREA OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED
WHEN NOT IN USE. STORE AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS (SEE SECTION 10).
AEROSOL STORAGE LEVEL: NA

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
AREA SHOULD HAVE VENTILATION TO PROVIDE FRESH AIR. LOCAL EXHAUST
VENTILATION IS GENERALLY PREFERRED BECAUSE IT CAN CONTROL THE EMISSIONS OF
THE CONTAMINANT AT THE SOURCE, PREVENTING DISPERSION INTO THE GENERAL WORK
AREA. USE MECHANICAL MEANS IF NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN VAPOR LEVELS BELOW THE
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES. IF WORKING IN A CONFINED SPACE, FOLLOW APPLICABLE OSHA
REGULATIONS.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
NONE REQUIRED FOR NORMAL WORK WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS PROVIDED. IF
ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE NOT FEASIBLE OR IF EXPOSURE EXCEEDS THE APPLICABLE
EXPOSURE LIMITS, USE NIOSH-APPROVED CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR WITH ORGANIC VAPOR
CARTRIDGES. USE A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN CONFINED SPACES AND
FOR EMERGENCIES.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
FOR NORMAL CONDITIONS, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. WHERE THERE IS REASONABLE
PROBABILITY OF LIQUID CONTACT, WEAR SPLASH-PROOF GOGGLES.
SKIN PROTECTION:
USE PROTECTIVE GLOVES SUCH AS PVA OR VITON. ALSO, USE FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING IF THERE IS PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT OF LIQUID WITH SKIN.
