THE PRODUCT. SEE (INGREDIENTS) SECTION FOR INGREDIENTS. PRIMARY
EXPOSURE DURING SOLDERING IS TO EVAPORATED ALCOHOL SOLVENT
CONTAINING A SMALL AMOUNT OF ORGANIC ACI DS. TARGET ORGANS: EYES,
SKIN, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. EFFECTS OF ACUTE
(SEVERE SHORT-TERM) EXPOSURE: INHALATION: FUMES DURING SOLDERING
MAY IRRITATE MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NARCOSIS AND NAUSEA.
SKIN: LOCAL IRRITATION. SKIN ABSORPTION: NONE. EYE: IRRITATION FROM
CONTACT WITH LIQUID AND SMOKE FROM SOLDERING. INGES TION: (SIGNS &
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS ACUTE AND CHRONIC (CONT):
BURNING SENSATION IN THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. EFFECTS OF CHRONIC
(PROLONGED) EXPOSURE: PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT CAN RESULT
IN A RASH. BREATHING VAPORS C AN RESULT IN HEADACHE AND IRRITATION
TO THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES. SMOKE DURING SOLDERING CAN CAUSE
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM IRRITATION AND DAMAGE. TERATOGENICITY /
MUTAGENICITY: N/P.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CHEMICAL HYPERSENSITIVITY, ASTHMA
AND OTHER RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS. CONTINUED BREATHING OF HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF ALCOHOL VAPORS CAN AFFECT THE LIVER AND CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM.

First Aid:SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR FURTHER TREATMENT, OBSERVATION
AND SUPPORT IF NEEDED. EYE CONTACT: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF
WATER AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN CONTACT: WASH THOROUGHLY WITH
SOAP AND W ATER. CONTACT A PHYSICAN. INHALATION: REMOVE VICTIM TO
FRESH AIR. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING AND GET PROMPT MEDICAL
ATTENTION.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. PROVIDE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. ABSORBENTS, SUCH AS VERMICULTE, CAN BE USED TO SOAK UP
THE SPILLED LIQUID OR FLUSH AWAY WITH PLENTY OF WATER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID EYE AND SKIN CONTACT. AVOID
PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT. AVOID BREATHING SMOKE / FUMES
GENERATED DURING SOLDERING. STORE AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION.
STORE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 32F (0 C). OPEN CONTAINERS CAUTIOUSLY
TO ALLOW VENTING OF ANY INTERNAL PRESSURE.

Respiratory Protection:WHEN VENTILATION IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REMOVE
FUMES FROM THE BREATHING ZONE, A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR SHOULD
BE WORN.
Ventilation:PROVIDE ADEQ EXHAUST VENT (GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL) IF
NECESSARY TO MEET EXPOS REQ. LOCAL EXHAUST VENT IS PREFERRED TO
MINIMIZE DISPERSION OF FUMES INTO WORK AREAS
Protective Gloves:PLASTIC OR RUBBER GLOVES WHERE NECESSARY TO AVOID
SKIN CONTACT.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:IMPERMEABLE APRON WHEN SPLASHING IS LIKELY
TO OCCUR. EYEWASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI DESIGN CRITERIA .
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING.
