SECTION 6: TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Route of Entry:
Eye contact, skin contact, skin absorption, inhalation and ingestion.
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Eye:
Can cause irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness and
swelling of eyes.
Skin:
May cause mild irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the
skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying and cracking of
skin and skin burns. Passage of this material into the body through the
skin is possible, but it is unlikely that this would result in harmful effects
during safe handling and use.
Ingestion:
Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not
likely to cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be
harmful. This material can get into the lungs during swallowing or
vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and other lung injury.
Inhalation:
Breathing of vapour mist is possible. Breathing small amounts of this
material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects.
Breathing large amounts may be harmful. Symptoms usually occur at air
concentrations higher than the recommended exposure limits.
Effects of Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged or repeated topical use may cause erythema and dryness.
Exposure Limits:
ACGIH TLV 500 ppm (TWA)
ACGIH TLV 750 ppm (STEL)

Toxicologically Synergisic
Products:
This product contains no carcinogenic substances.
No data available
This material (or a component) has been shown to cause harm to the
fetus in laboratory animal studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at
exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these
findings to humans is uncertain.

SECTION 7: PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Personal Protection:
Inhalation:
Skin:
Eyes:
Engineering Controls:
Release Response:
Waste Disposal:
Handling:
Storage:
Respiratory protection is normally not required except in emergencies or
when conditions cause excessive airborne levels of mists or vapours.
NIOSH approved organic respirators where there may be potential
exposure.
Wear chemical resistant gloves such as: Rubber Neoprene, Nitrile or
PVC. Appropriate protective clothing should be worn to prevent skin
contact.
When contact with liquid is possible, use a face shield and/or chemical
splash goggles. Otherwise use safety glasses with side shields or
goggles.
Air contaminant levels should be controlled below the PEL or TLV for this
product. Mechanical ventilation may be necessary if working with this
product in enclosed areas and/or at elevated temperatures. Use
explosion-proof equipment.
Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Remove all sources of ignition.
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent material,
(e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in
container for disposal according to local/national regulations. Do not
flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Dispose of only in accordance with local, provincial and federal
regulations. Do not contaminate any lakes, streams, ponds,
groundwater or soil.
Empty containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapour) and can
be dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, SOLDER, DRILL,
GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS,
STATIC ELECTRICITY OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY
EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Empty drums should be
completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum
reconditioner, or properly disposed of according to government
regulations.
Store containers in a cool, dry, ventilated, fire resistant area away from
sources of ignition and incompatible materials. Keep container tightly
closed and properly labelled.

SECTION 8: FIRST AID MEASURES
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting rescue and providing
first aid.
Inhalation:
Eye:
Skin:
Ingestion:
Move person to fresh air. Remove from exposure. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. If breathing ceases, administer artificial
respiration followed by oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of cool water for at least 15 minutes.
Call a physician immediately.
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water for at least 15
minutes and remove contaminated clothes and shoes. When symptoms
persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice. Wash contaminated
clothing before re-use.
If swallowed, call a physician or poison control center immediately. Do
not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
