MAY DEVELOP DERMATITIS AND ASTHMA.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE CHEMICAL IN THIS PRODUCT IS
LIST BY IARC, NTP OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION AND DERMATITIS
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
First Aid
First Aid:EYE-WASH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. IF IRRITATION OCCURS AND
PERSISTS, SEE AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST. SKIN-WASH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER.
IF IRRITATION OCCURS AND PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALE-REMOVE T O FRESH AIR. IF DISCOMFORT OCCURS AND PERSISTS
OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGEST-DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. CALL
PHYSICIAN.
Fire Fighting
Flash Point:NONCOMBUSTIBLE
Extinguishing Media:DELUGE WITH WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:NONCOMBUSTIBLE-CONSIDER MATERIAL AS A STRONG
OXIDIZER WITH ACIDIC MIST ALSO BEING PRESENT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:DECOMPOSES WITH THE LIBERATION OF OXYGEN,
PRESENCE OF MOISTURE ACCELERATES DECOMPOSITION.
Accidental Release
Spill Release Procedures:SPILL: MATERIAL SHOULD BE PUT INTO AN APPROVED
DOT CONTAINER THE DILUTED WITH LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER.
Handling
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE (UNOPENED) IN A COOL, CLEAN, DRY
PLACE. AWAY FROM ALL IGNITION SOURCES. USE FIRST IN FIRST OUT
STORAGE SYSTEM. AVOID CONTAMINATION OF OPEN PRDCT
Other Precautions:AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT. IN CASE OF
FIRE OR DECOMPOSITION CONDITIONS (SMOKING) USE SCBA WITH FULL FACE
PIECE, ACID RESISTANT CLOTHING AND DELUGE WITH PLENTY OF WATER TO
CONTROL DECOMP OSITION.
Exposure Controls
Respiratory Protection:WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF
VENTILATION DOES NOT MAINTAIN INHALATION EXPOSURES BELOW PEL/TLV.
WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IF REQUIRED FOR HIGH LEVELS
OF CONTAMINATES.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL (GENERAL) VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. LOCAL EXHAUST
RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN ENCLOSED AREAS.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE OR NATURAL RUBBER GLOVES
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES - CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
