EPA Statement:
This chemical is a product registered by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency and is subject to certain labeling requirements under federal law. These
requirements differ from the classification criteria and hazard information required for
safety data sheets (SDS), and for workplace labels of non-EPA registered chemicals.
Below is the signal word as required on the label:
Section 2. Hazards identification
Classification of the
substance or mixture
No known significant effects or critical hazards.
While this material is not considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), this SDS contains valuable information critical to the
safe handling and proper use of the product. This SDS should be retained and available
for employees and other users of this product.

Section 2. Hazards identification
Hazards not otherwise
classified
Section 3. Composition/information on ingredients
There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the
concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence require reporting
in this section.
Other means of
identification
Occupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8.
Any concentration shown as a range is to protect confidentiality or is due to batch variation.
None under normal use conditions.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower
eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses.
Wash with soap and water.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air.
Section 4. First aid measures
Protection of first-aiders
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist immediately if large
quantities have been ingested or inhaled.

Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training.
Hazardous thermal
decomposition products
Specific hazards arising
from the chemical
Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.

Section 6. Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment
plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible,
absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in
container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Put on appropriate personal
protective equipment.
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up
if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and
place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste
disposal contractor.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
For non-emergency
personnel
If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in
Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For nonemergency personnel".

Section 7. Handling and storage
Advice on general
occupational hygiene
Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating,
drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before
entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene
measures.
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from
direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials
(see Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until
ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept
upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination. See Section 10 for incompatible
materials before handling or use.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Precautions for safe handling
Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
No special technical protective measures are necessary.
No special technical protective measures are necessary.
No special technical protective measures are necessary.
No special technical protective measures are necessary.
Environmental exposure
controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Appropriate engineering
controls
Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
contaminants.
This product, as supplied, does not contain any hazardous materials with occupational
exposure limits established by the region specific regulatory bodies.
Individual protection measures

Section 13. Disposal considerations
The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible. Disposal
of this product, solutions and any by-products should at all times comply with the
requirements of environmental protection and waste disposal legislation and any
regional local authority requirements. Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable products
via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Waste should not be disposed of untreated to
the sewer unless fully compliant with the requirements of all authorities with jurisdiction.
Waste packaging should be recycled. Incineration or landfill should only be considered
when recycling is not feasible. This material and its container must be disposed of in a
safe way. Empty containers or liners may retain some product residues. Avoid
dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and
