Primary Routes of Entry:
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
Aggravated Medical Condition:
Corrosive. High concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression. May cause skin
sensitization.
Eye and skin contact, ingestion, inhalation
Can cause severe and painful burns on contact to eyes, skin and if taken internally. Inhalation of mist or
vapor can cause damage to the upper respiratory tract and to the tissue depending on severity of
exposure. Effects can range from mild irritation of mucous membranes to severe pneumonitis and
destruction of lung tissue. Excessive accidental exposure may cause headache, dizziness, nausea and
mild respiratory irritation. Repeated skin contact may cause allergic skin reactions.
Preexisting eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by overexposure to this product.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion:
Inhalation:
Skin Contact:
Eye Contact:
Do not induce vomiting. Slowly dilute with 1-2 glasses of water or milk and seek medical attention. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person
Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapours. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed.
Seek immediate medical attention.
Remove product and immediately flush affected area with water for 15 minutes. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Destroy contaminated leather apparel. Cover the affected area with a sterile dressing
and seek medical care. Do not apply greases or ointments. Launder contaminated clothes prior to reuse.
Flush eyes with clean water for at least 20 minutes while gently holding eyelids open, lifting upper and
lower lids. Get immediate medical attention.
