Section 3 -- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF ACUTE HAZARDS
Overexposure may cause coughing, shortness of breath, dizziness, central
nervous system depression, intoxication and collapse. It may cause irritation
to the respiratory tract and to other mucous membranes.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
INHALATION
Upper respiratory tract irritation and narcosis, CNS symptoms.
EYE CONTACT
Irritation, blurred vision.
SKIN CONTACT
Irritation, dermatitis, defatting.
INGESTION
Gastro-intestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, aspiration into
lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis.
SUMMARY OF CHRONIC HAZARDS
Repeated inhalation may cause dizziness, nausea and CNS effects. Prolonged
skin contact may result in irritation and absorption.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Individuals with pre-existing or chronic diseases of the eyes, skin,
respiratory system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, liver,
or kidneys may have increased susceptibility to excessive exposure.
=============================================================================
Section 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If INHALED: If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air
immediately. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as
needed. Obtain emergency medical attention. Prompt
action is essential.
If on SKIN: Immediately flush with large amounts of water; use soap
if available. Remove contaminated clothing.
If in EYES: Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least
15 minutes. Get prompt medical attention.
If SWALLOWED: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get
prompt medical attention.

=============================================================================
Section 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Remove all
sources of ignition. Use absorbent materials to prevent footing hazard
and to contain. Ventilate area with natural or explosion-proof, forced
air ventilation. Avoid flushing into sewers, drains, waterways, and soil.
Wear protective clothing and respiratory protection during cleanup.
=============================================================================
Section 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Keep away from heat, sparks
and open flames.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin or

full and observe all products precautions. Do not reuse empty containers.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
=============================================================================
Section 8 -- EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE): In confined poorly ventilated areas,
use NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying or supplied air purifying or
supplied air respirators.
VENTILATION - LOCAL EXHAUST: Acceptable
SPECIAL: Explosion-proof equipment.
MECHANICAL (GENERAL): Preferable
OTHER: N/A
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Wear rubber gloves.
