CENTRALNERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) DEPRESSION. LIQUID IS MODERATELY TOXIC
AND MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY PRODUCE CNS DEPRESSION.
CHRONIC- MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NO INGREDIENT OF A CONCENTRATION OF 0.1%
OR GREATER IS LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN OR SUSPECTED CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:SEVERE IRRITATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING, TEARING,
BLURRED VISION, DRY SKIN, DERMATITIS, DIZZINESS, HEADACHE,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, DEATH
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PREEXISTING DISEASES OF THE EYES,
SKIN, RESPIRATORY TRACT, CNS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE TO
THIS PRODUCT.

First Aid:INHALED: MOVE TO FRESH AIR AND PROVIDE OXYGEN IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT. SEEK MEDICAL HELP. EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15
MINUTES. HOLD EYELIDS OPEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH WITH
WATER WHIL E REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. IF
IRRITATION OCCURS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT GIVE
LIQUID IF VICTIM IS UNCONSCIOUS OR VERY DROWSY. OTHERWISE, GIVE NO
MORE THAN 2 GLASSES O F WATER AND INDUCE VOMITING BY GIVING 30CC

Lower Limits:1.4%
Upper Limits:11.2%
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER FOG, ALCOHOL FOAM,DRY CHEMICAL OR C02
Fire Fighting Procedures:WARNING-FLAMMABLE. CLEAR FIRE AREA OF
UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL. DO NOT ENTER CONFINED FIRE SPACE WITHOUT

AND RUBBER BOOTS),INCLUDING A PO SITIVE PRESSURE NIOSH APPROVED
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS
WITH WATER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO INTENSE HEAT FROM
FIRES SHOULD BE COOLED WITH WATER TO PREVENT VAPOR PRESSURE BUILDUP
WHICH COULD RESULT IN CONTAINER RUPTURE. CONTAINER AREAS EXPOSED
TO DIRECT FLAME CONTACT SH OULD BE COOLED WITH LARGE QUANTITES OF
WATER AS NEEDED TO PREVENT WEAKENING OF CONTAINER STRUCTURE.

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. ELIMINATE SOURCES
OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA. DO NOT WALK THROUGH SPILL; STOP SPILL
IF POSSIBLE. USE A VAPOR SUPPRESSING FOAM TO REDUCE VAPORS. CONTAIN
AND PICK UP WITH NON -FLAMMABLE ABSORBENT SUCH AS SAND,
VERMICULITE. GROUND ALL HANDLING EQUIPMENTS. PREVENT LIQUID FROM
ENTERING SEWERS, WATERWAYS, CONFINED SPACES.
