*** EMERGENCY OVERVIEW ***  CAUSES STINGING & MILD EYE IRRITATION

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:

EYE CONTACT:   Contact will cause stinging of eyes followed by irritation.

SKIN CONTACT:                Prolonged and repeated skin exposure may be irritating to some people.

INGESTION:                         Effects of ingestion are unknown.  Seek medical attention immediately.

INHALATION:                     Over exposure can cause irritation to mucous membranes.  Vapor concentrations greater than 1000 ppm may cause headaches and dizziness, and are anesthetic.

CHRONIC HAZARDS:       None Known.

PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY:    Ingestion, Inhalation, Skin, Eyes

SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES:

INHALATION:                     Remove to fresh air.  If not breathing, give artificial respiration.  If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and call a physician.

SKIN CONTACT:                Flush skin with soap and water.  Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

EYE CONTACT:                   Flush eyes at least 15 minutes with fresh water.  Call a physician if irritation persists.

INGESTION:                         Effects are unknown.  Do not induce vomiting.  Keep at rest and seek medical attention immediately.  Never give anything to an unconscious person.

LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT:  1.2                                      UPPER EXPLOSION LIMIT: 9.6 @ 77 °F.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Oxides of Carbon, Nitrogen, or Fluorine.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:                                                Dry Chemical, Carbon Dioxide, Water Spray, Foam

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:                     Evacuate personnel to a safe area upwind of the fire.  Water fog nozzles may be used to cool

fire-exposed containers.  Avoid breathing decomposition products. Respiratory protection is recommended for fire fighting personnel.

SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:

Eliminate all ignition sources.  Contain the spill and salvage as much material as possible.  Pick-up the remaining material with absorbent.

SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE:

HANDLING:    Keep container tightly closed when not in use to prevent leakage or evaporation.  See product

label for additional information.

STORAGE:      Store in a well ventilated place at a temperature above 5 and under 40 Centigrade. When

opening containers, do so slowly to vent slight pressure that may build up after prolonged storage.  Keep out

of reach of children.

SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION:

GENERAL:                        Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.  Wash thoroughly after handling.  Do

not aerosolize.  Always provide adequate ventilation.  Keep away from open flames, heat, sparks, pilot lights,

static electricity, and heated surfaces. Use proper grounding techniques. 

EYE PROTECTION:    Use safety eye wear or chemical splash goggles.

SKIN PROTECTION:   Where skin contact is likely, have available and wear as appropriate, impervious

gloves, apron, pants and jacket to prevent prolonged contact.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:    Recommended exposure limit is 300 ppm for an 8 hour day.  At greater

levels use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator.        

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:  Use only with adequate ventilation.  Vent fumes outside work area.  When

applying as a spray, use fans and/or other exhaust methods to minimize exposure to mists vapors, and

over-spray.

OTHER PROTECTIVE MEASURES:  Take appropriate measures to ground against static electrical discharges.
