SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE : Symptoms of exposure through inhalation, ingestion, or direct contact with skin
may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irritation of nose, throat, airways, or skin, central nervous system
depression possibly including headache, loss of coordination, drowsiness, fatigue, and unconsciousness
and death in extreme cases. Pre-existing eye, skin, or respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure
to this product.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY : Skin contact, skin absorption, eye contact, and inhalation
CANCER INFORMATION : Neither this product nor any of its components is listed as a carcinogen or partial
carcinogen by the following agencies: the National Toxicology Program, the International Agency for
Research on Cancer, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES Flush immediately with cold water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
SKIN Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area with soap and hot water. If irritation
from contact persists, seek medical attention. Launder contaminated clothing including
shoes prior to reuse.
INHALATON If light-headed or having difficulty breathing, expose individual to fresh air and/or oxygen. If
breathing stops, begin artificial respiration and seek immediate medical attention.
INGESTION Seek immediate medical attention. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If vomiting occurs
spontaneously, keep victim s head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs. If possible, do
not leave victim unattended.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT / METHOD: >142 F (>61 C) / Tagliabue Closed Cup method (TCC)
AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE : 440 F (226 C)
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR (% BY VOLUME): LEL Lower 0.9% / UEL Upper 6.0%
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS : Low flash point. Keep work areas free of hot metal surfaces and other
sources of ignition.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemicals, CO2, water fog, water spray, or foam.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Wear a NIOSH-approved self contained breathing apparatus in positive
pressure mode and full bunker gear. Water may be unsuitable as an extinguishing media but helpful in
keeping adjacent containers cool in order to prevent container rupture. Avoid spreading burning liquid with
water used for cooling purposes.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
IN CASE OF SPILL: Keep sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces isolated from spill. Persons involved in
clean-up should wear personal protection equipment. Stop spill at source and prevent from spreading. If
spilled as a solid, scrape and then sweep up spilled material. If spilled as a free-flowing liquid, confine spill

and allow liquid to solidify prior to clean-up. If run-off occurs, notify proper authorities as required. Place in
chemical waste container and dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
CAUTION! FLOORS COVERED WITH RESIDUAL MATE RIAL BECOME EXTREMELY SLIPPERY .
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry location at 90 F (32 C) or below and away from open flames, heat, and sparks. Keep
work areas free of hot metal surfaces and other sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed when not in
use to prevent drying out of material.
Repack only into high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Containers used for repackaging should be thoroughly
tested for long-term product compatibility before use. All new containers must exhibit product labels required
for proper identification, safety, handling, and storage. Empty containers may contain product residue such as
vapors continue to observe proper handling and storage precautions.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses, goggles, or face shield are advised. Eye washes are recommended for
work areas.
SKIN PROTECTON: Wear impervious gloves, clothing, and shoes to prevent skin contact. Safety showers are
recommended for work areas. Remove contaminated clothing and wash in hot water and soap prior to reuse.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION : Exposure levels should be kept below the PEL or TLV for this product.
If exposure exceeds recommended levels, use of NIOSH-approved cartridge respirator or gas mask is
advised. Engineering controls should be implemented if necessary to reduce exposure.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS : Provide sufficient general and/or local exhaust (explosion-proof ventilation) to
keep exposure below PEL or TLV.
