SENSITIZATION, LIVER, KIDNEY DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED BY ACGIH, IARC, NIOSH, NTP,
OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE: CAUSES IRRITATION. MAY RESULT IN CORNEAL
INJURY. VAPORS MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. SKIN: MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION. PROLONGED AND/OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION

STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE
SUBSTANCES. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES,
SKIN, CLOTHING.
Other Precautions:REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH BEFORE REUSE.
EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUES (LIQUID AND/OR VAPOR) AND
CAN BE DANGEROUS. AVOID CONTACT WITH HEAT, SPARKS AND FLAME. AVOID
INGESTION AND INHALATION. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE,
SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND/EXPOSE EMPTY CONTAINERS TO SP ARKS OR OPEN
FLAMES.

Respiratory Protection:FOLLOW THE OSHA RESPIRATOR REGULATIONS FOUND IN
29 CFR 1910.134. ALWAYS USE A NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN
NECESSARY.
Ventilation:USE ADEQUATE GENERAL OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THE PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN
EXPOSURE.
Eye Protection:WEAR APPROPRIATE EYEGLASSES OR CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES
PER OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO
PREVENT SKIN EXPOSURE.
Work Hygienic Practices:NOT PROVIDED.
Supplemental Safety and Health
