ANESTHETIC EFFECTS, ASTHMA-TYPE SENSATION. DERMATITIS, SKIN
IRRITATION. PRODUCT MAY BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. LIQUID
INGESTION MAY RESULT IN CHEMICAL PNEUMONIT IS, PULMONARY
EDEMA/HEMORRHAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:FORMALDEHYDE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE
CANCERS OF THE LUNG, NASOPHARYNX, OROPHARYNX AND NASAL PASSAGES IN
HUMANS.
Effects of Overexposure:HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, INCOORDINATION, NAUSEA,
FATIGUE, LOSSOF CONSCIOUSNESS. DEFATTING/IRRITATION OF SKIN,
DERMATITIS, SEVERE EYE IRRITATION, REDNESS IN EYES, BURNING
SENSATION IN EYES, TEARING, BLURR ED VISION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OVEREXPOSURE MAY AGGRAVATE EYE,
SKIN AND RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR AND PROVIDE OXYGEN IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT. GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF NOT
BREATHING. EYE CONTACT: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
SKIN CONTACT: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. KEEP VICTIM WARM AND

Lower Limits:1.0 %
Upper Limits:93.0 %
Extinguishing Media:FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL, WATER FOG
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS. WATER MAY BE UNSUITABLE AS AN EXTINGUISHING
MEDIA, BUT HELPFUL IN KEEPING ADJACENT CONTAINERS COOL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS MAY FORM AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE IN
THE AIR. CLOSED CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE WHEN EXPOSED TO EXTREME
HEAT. VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. VENTILATE
AREA. ABSORB SPILL WITH A NONBIODEGRADEABLE, NONCOMPRESSIBLE
ABSORBENT AND PLACE IN A CLOSED CONTAINER. KEEP OUT OF SEWERS AND
WATERWAYS.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED INHALTION
OF HEATED VAPORS OR SPRAY MISTS. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT OR OPEN FLAME.
AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT.
Other Precautions:USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED
WHEN NOT IN USE.

Respiratory Protection:A FULL FACE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED CANISTER-TYPE
RESPIRATOR MUST BE WORN TO PREVENT THE INHALATION OF VAPORS OR
MISTS WHEN TLV OR PEL IS EXCEEDED. USE SCBA WHEN ENTERING CONFINED
SPACES OR FIGHTING FIRE OR SPILL.
Ventilation:GENERAL VENTILATION IS REQUIRED DURING NORMAL USE. LOCAL
VENTILATION MAY BE REQUIRED DURING CERTAIN OPERATIONS.
Protective Gloves:CHEMICAL RESISTANT NITRILE, NEOPRENE
Eye Protection:WEAR FACE SHIELD OR CHEMICAL GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO PREVENT SKIN
CONTACT. EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER SHOULD BE AVAILABLE.
Work Hygienic Practices:PRACTICE GOOD CAUTION AND PERSONAL CLEANLINESS
TO AVOID THE INHALATION OF VAORS AND CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
CONTAINS FORMALDEHYDE. MAY CAUSE CANCER. REPEATED OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE
INCREASES THE RISK.
