Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE
RESPIRATORY TRACT AND CNS DEPRESSION. CONTACT WITH THE EYE/SKIN MAY
CAUSE IRRITATION. INGESTION MAY PRODUCE ABDOMINAL PAIN NAUSEA.
ASPIRATION HAZARD. CHRONIC EXP OSURE TO SKIN MAY DEFAT THE SKIN AND
PRODUCE DERMATITIS. LONG-TERM EXPOSURE MAY AFFECT LIVER, KIDNEYS,
CNS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS COMPOUND CONTAINS NO INGREDIENTS AT
CONCENTRATIONS OF 0.1% OR GREATER THAT ARE CARCINOGENS OR SUSPECT
CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION, LIGHT HEADEDNESS,
DIZZINESS, MUSCLE INCOORDINATION, LOSS OF APPETITE, NAUSEA,
NARCOSIS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, ABDOMINAL PAIN, SKIN
IRRITATION/REDNESS/PAIN/ITCHING, EYE IRRITAT ION/REDNESS/PAIN,
DERMATITIS, LIVER/KIDNEY/CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
DISORDERS OR IMPAIRED PULMONARY FUNCTION MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
THE EFFECTS OF THIS SUBSTANCE.

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH W/WATER FOR 15 MINUTES WHILE HOLDING EYELIDS
OPEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.
WASH W/SOAP & WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSIST, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RESTORE BREATHING.GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF OCCURS, KEEP HEAD
BELOW HIPS. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH IF
UNCONSCIOUS.

FIRE HAZARD MAY BE ACUTE. OUTSIDE PREFERRED.
Other Precautions:CONTAINERS SHOULD BE GROUNDED AND BONDED FOR
TRANSFERS TO AVOID STATIC SPARKS. STORAGE AND USE AREAS SHOULD BE
NO SMOKING AREAS. USE NON-SPARKING TYPE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT,
INCLUDING EXPLOSION-PROOF VE NTILATION.

Respiratory Protection:IF EXPOSURE MAY OR DOES EXCEED OCCUPATION
EXPOSURE LIMITS USE A NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR TO PREVENT
OVEREXPOSURE. IN ACCORD WITH 29 CFR 1910.134 USE EITHER AN
ATMOSPHERE-SUPPLYING RESPIRATOR OR AN AI R-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:EXHAUST VENTILATION SUFFICIENT TO KEEP AIRBORNE
CONCENTRATIONS BELOW RESPECTIVE TLV'S.
Protective Gloves:COTTON, NEOPRENE, RUBBER, POLYETHYLENE
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES, SAFETY GLASSES W/SIDES
Other Protective Equipment:CHEMICAL RESISTANT CLOTHING AS NECESSARY TO
PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. AN EMERGENCY EYEWASH AND SHOWER SHOULD BE
