*** 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:                         May be harmful or fatal if ingested.  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:                         Do not induce vomiting.  Keep at rest and seek medical attention immediately.  Never give anything to an unconscious person.

SECTION 5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:

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

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Oxides of Carbon, and Nitrogen

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 45 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.  Use only in low-pressure sprayers (less than 60 psi).  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.
