Material Safety Data Sheet
1. Product and company identification
2. Hazards identification
Potential acute health effects
Harmful by inhalation. At very high concentrations, can displace the normal air and
cause suffocation from lack of oxygen. Exposure to decomposition products may cause
a health hazard. Serious effects may be delayed following exposure.
May cause eye irritation. Liquid can cause burns similar to frostbite.
Routes of entry not anticipated: Get medical attention.
Ingestion of liquid can cause burns similar to frostbite.
Dermal contact with rapidly evaporating liquid could result in freezing of the tissues or
frostbite. May cause skin irritation.
Inhalation
Ingestion
Physical state
FLAMMABLE AEROSOL. MAY CAUSE TARGET ORGAN DAMAGE, BASED ON
ANIMAL DATA.
This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
(29 CFR 1910.1200).
Potential chronic health effects
Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not eat, drink or
smoke when using this product. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and hot
surfaces. - No smoking. Do not spray on an open flame or other ignition source.
Pressurized container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Protect from sunlight. Do
not expose to temperatures exceeding 50 °C/122 °F. Wash thoroughly after handling.
2. Hazards identification
See toxicological information (Section 11)

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.
Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
attention immediately.
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical
attention immediately.
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean
shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Move exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if
respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention
immediately.
No specific treatment. Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist
immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled.
Protection of first-aiders
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It may
be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
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. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Flammable aerosol. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the
container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. Gas may accumulate in
low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash
back, causing fire or explosion. Bursting aerosol containers may be propelled from a
fire at high speed. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Special protective
equipment for fire-fighters
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Hazardous thermal
decomposition products
Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
halogenated compounds
carbonyl halides
Flammability of the product
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. In the case of aerosols being ruptured, care should be taken due to the rapid
escape of the pressurized contents and propellant. If a large number of containers are
ruptured, treat as a bulk material spillage according to the instructions in the clean-up
section. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources. No
flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from upwind. 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. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the
same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
Environmental precautions
6. Accidental release measures
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. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. 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.
