Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYES, SKIN, MUCOUS
MEMBRANES & RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. ACUTE: INHALATION: FUMES DURING
SLODERING MAY IRRITATE MUSOUS MEMBRANES & RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. SKIN:
LOCAL IRRITATION. SKIN ABSORPTION: NONE. EYE: IRRITATION FROM
CONTACT WITH LIQUID & SMOKE FROM SOLDERING.INGESTION: BURINGI
SENSATION IN THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. CHRONIC: SMOKE DURING SOLDERING
WILL CONTAIN ROSIN WHICH IS AN ALLERGEN & C AN CAUSE RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM IRRITATION & DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: INHALATION: HIGH CONCENTRATIONS CAN
CUASE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NARCOSIS & NAUSEA. CHRONIC: BREATHING
VAPORS CAN RESULT IN HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NARCOSIS & IRRITATION OF
THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CHEMICAL HYPERSENSITIVY, ASTHMA &
OTHER RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS. CONTINUED BREATHING OF HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF ALCOHOL VAPORS CAN AFFECT THE LIVER & CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM.

First Aid:SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR FURTHER TREATMENT, OBSERVATION &
SUPPORT IF NEEDED. EYE: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER & GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION. REMOVE ROSIN FROM AROUND EYES WITH A DILUTE
ETHANOL SOLUTI ON. SKIN: WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP & WATER.
INHALATION: REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING
& GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Flash Point Method:TOC
Flash Point:=84.C, 183.2F
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:N/E
Lower Limits:1.5
Upper Limits:9.7
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, ALCOHOL FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED
CONTAINERS & CONTROL VAPORS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:A MODERATE EXPLOSION HAZARD EXISTS WHEN
EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAMES.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. PROVIDE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. ABSORBANTS, SUCH AS VERMICULITE, CAN BE USED TO SOAK
UP THE SPILLED LIQUID OR FLUSH AWAY WITH PLENTY OF WATER. CLEAN UP
RESIDUAL WITH ALKALIN E DETERGENT.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION.
STORAGE AT TEMP BELOW 40 DEG F ( 4 DEG C) MAY RESULT IN
PRECIPITATION OF SOME ROSIN. OPEN CONTAINERS CAUTIOUSLY TO ALLOW
VENTING OF ANY INTERNAL PRESSURE.
Other Precautions:EMPTY CONTAINERS MAY CONTAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE. OBSERVE
ALL LABEL PRECAUTIONS.

Respiratory Protection:WHEN VENTILATION IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REMOVE
FUMES FROM THE BREATHING ZONE, A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR SHOULD
BE WORN.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IS PREFERRED TO MINIMIZE
DISPERSION OF SMOKE & FUMES INTO THE WORK AREA.
Protective Gloves:PLASTIC OR RUBBER GLOVES WHERE NECESSARY TO AVOID
SKIN CONTACT.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES WHEN SPLASHING IS LIKELY TO
OCCUR.
Other Protective Equipment:IMPERMEABLE APRON WHEN SPLSHING IS LIKELY TO
OCCUR.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING.
