low. Under ambient temperature
conditions inhalation is not a
problem.
Route(s) of Entry:
Skin? In case of skin
contact,remove any contaminated
clothing and wash skin thoroughly
with soap and water.
Ingestion? If ingested do not
induce vomitting; call a physician
immediately.

OSHA Regulated? No
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)
Carcinogenicity: Non
Carcinogenic
NTP? No
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure : Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation.
Medical Conditions : None recognized.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: In case of eye contact, flush with water for 15 minutes of until irritation subsides. If irritation
persists, call a physician. If overcome by vapor from hot product, immediately remove from exposure and call a physician. If exposed to
oil mist, remove from further exposure until excessive mist condition subsides.
Section VII — Precautions for Safe Handling and Use: Use splash goggles or face shields when eye contact may occur.
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material Is Released or Spilled : Recover free product. Add sand or other absorbent to spill area. Minimize
breathing of vapors and avoid skin contact. Open all windows and doors if practical. Keep product out of sewers and water courses by
diking or impounding. Advise authorities if product has entered or may enter sewers , water courses, or extensive land areas.
Waste Disposal Method : Dispose of according to local, state and federal regulations.

Ventilation
Local Exhaust : No
Special : None
Mechanical (General) : No
Other : None
Protective Gloves : Yes
Eye Protection: Yes
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment : Coveralls to protect against exposed skin.
Work/Hygienic Practices : In case of skin contact remove contaminated clothing and wash contaminated skin with soap and water immediately.
