SECTION 4 – FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes:
Quickly and gently blot or brush away chemical. Flush contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm,
gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until the chemical is removed. If irritation occurs, obtain
medical advice.
Skin:
If irritation does occur, flush with lukewarm gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until
chemical is removed. Remove contaminated clothing, shoes, and leather goods (e.g.,
watchbands) as the product is highly flammable. If irritation occurs, obtain medical advice.
Inhalation:
If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should begin artificial respiration (AR) or, if the
heart has stopped, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately. Immediately transport
victim to an emergency care facility.
Ingestion:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. If vomiting occurs naturally,
have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Transport victim to an emergency care
facility if necessary.

may result in chemical pneumonitis (inflammation of the lungs) and/or
pulmonary edema (an accumulation of fluid in the lungs).
Inhalation Effects:
Deliberately concentrating and inhaling this product can lead to CNS effects,
unconsciousness and/or death.
Skin Sensitization:
This product contains a component (at >= 1%) that can cause skin
sensitization. Therefore, this product is considered to be a skin sensitizer
when handled in bulk. However, the product is packaged in a pen-like
applicator, which significantly limits exposure to the product; therefore, it is not
expected to pose skin sensitization risk under normal conditions of use.
Respiratory Tract
Sensitization:
Contact with this product is not expected to cause respiratory tract
sensitization, based upon the available data and the known hazards of the
components.
Chronic Toxicity
Carcinogenicity:
Based on the known hazards of the components, the product is not expected
to pose a carcinogenicity risk.
Mutagenicity:
This product is not known to contain any components at >= 0.1% that have
been shown to cause mutagenicity. Therefore, based upon the available data
and the known hazards of the components, this product is not expected to be a
mutagen.
Reproductive Toxicity:
This product is not known to contain any components at >= 0.1% that have
been shown to cause reproductive toxicity. Therefore, based upon the
available data and the known hazards of the components, this product is not
expected to be a reproductive toxin.
Teratogenicity/Embryotoxicity:
This product is not known to contain any components at >= 0.1% that have
been shown to cause teratogenicity and/or embryotoxicity. Therefore, based
upon the available data and the known hazards of the components, this
product is not expected to be a teratogen/embryotoxin.
Other Chronic Effects:
Repeated and chronic product abuse such as deliberately concentrating and
inhaling this product can result in adverse effects to the CNS such as
