SECTION 3 – HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Effects of overexposure—eyes
Irritation, burning, tearing, and redness.
Effects of overexposure—skin
Moderate irritation or defatting of skin upon prolonged or repeated contact.
Effects of overexposure—inhalation
Excessive exposure to vapors can cause headache, dizziness, uncoordination, nausea, and loss of consciousness.
Effects of overexposure—ingestion
Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Effects of overexposure—chronic and acute hazards
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system
damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Contains ingredients
which may cause liver damage, kidney damage, mucous membrane irritation.
Primary Routes of Entry
Skin contact; inhalation; ingestion, eye contact
SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact
Flush eyes immediately with plenty of cool water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
Skin Contact
Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
Inhalation
If affected by inhalation of vapor or spray mist, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITTING. Seek immediate medical attention.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation to ignition sources at locations distant from
material handling point. Pressure may build up in containers and create an explosion hazard.
Special Fire fighting Procedures
Fire fighters must wear self contained breathing apparatus or air masks and full protective clothing. Containers exposed to fire should
be kept cool with water spray. Water may be ineffective as an extinguishing agent.
SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
Dike spill area. Ventilate area. Avoid breathing of vapors. Use self-contained breathing apparatus or air mask for large spills in a
confined area. Eliminate ignition sources. Remove with inert absorbent and non-sparking tools. Avoid contact.
SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing
Store in dry area. Keep away from open flames and high temperatures. Minimize contact. Avoid breathing vapors. Practice good
industrial hygiene and safe working practices.
SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls
Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels.
Respiratory Protection
Wear appropriate, properly fitted respirator (NIOSH/MSHA approved) during and after application unless air monitoring vapor/mist
levels are below applicable limits. Follow respirator manufacturer’s directions for respirator use.
Skin Protection
Where contact is likely, wear chemical resistant gloves, rubber boots, and chemical safety goggles.
Eye Protection
Wear chemical safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
Other Protective Equipment
Nitrile rubber gloves
Hygienic Practices
Wash hands before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after
container is emptied because they may retain product residues. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing.
