SECTION - 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES- Flush eyes with clear water for 15 minutes. Get prompt medical
attention.
SKIN- Rinse with water for 15 minutes. If irritation develops, get medical
attention.
INHALATION- If symptoms develop move victim to fresh air. If
symptoms persist, call a physician.
INGESTION- Immediately give 1 or 2 glasses of water and induce
vomiting by sticking finger down throat. Keep victim’s head below waist
to prevent aspiration into lungs. Get prompt medical attention.

SECTION - 3 HAZARDS INFORMATION
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Skin contact /absorption and inhalation
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: Gastrointestinal irritation
(nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation to nose, throat, and respiratory
tract.
Target Organ Effects: Overexposure to this material (or its
components) has been suggested as a cause of the following
effects in laboratory animals and may aggravate pre-existing disorders
or these organs in humans: chronic ingestion may cause kidney and
liver lesions at high doses.
IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYES: Exposure may cause noticeable pain, and severe irritation and
transient corneal injury.
SKIN: Exposure may cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated
exposure may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning,
drying and cracking and skin burns. Additional symptoms of skin
contact may include: allergic reaction. Skin absorption is possible, but
harmful effects are not expected from this route of exposure under
normal handling and use.
INHALATION: Exposure to vapor or mist is possible. Short-term
inhalation is not likely to cause harmful effects: breathing large amounts
may be harmful. Symptoms are more typically seen at air
concentrations exceeding the recommended exposure limits.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is low. Swallowing small amounts
during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects: swallowing
large amounts may be harmful.
REPRODUCTIVE / DEVELOPMENTAL INFORMATION: No Data
CARCINOGENIC INFORMATION: This material is not listed as a
carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
LONG TERM EFFECTS: No Data
SECTION - 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: No Flash at Boil (C.C. method)
Explosive limits Not Applicable
Autoignition Temperature Not Applicable
Hazardous Products of Combustion Not Applicable
Extinguishing Media Not Applicable
Fire Fighting Instructions Avoid contact with this material. Avoid
walking in spilled material. Wear
protective clothing for skin and eyes
SECTION - 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill: Absorb with an inert solid and scoop up for disposal, then
rinse soiled area with water down the drain.
Large Spill: Stop leak at the source and collect into a suitable container,
then treat as a small spill.
SECTION - 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied.
Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or
solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in
use.
SECTION - 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection: Chemical Splash goggle in compliance with OSHA
regulations are advised: however , OSHA regulations also permit other
type safety glasses. Consult your safety representative.
Skin Protection: Wear rubber gloves (consult your safety equipment
supplier). To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear
impervious clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protection: If workplace exposure limits of product or any
component are exceeded (see exposure guidelines),NIOSH/OSHA
approved air supplied respirator is advised in the absence of proper
environmental control. OSHA relations also permit other NIOSH/OSHA
respirators (negative pressure type) under specific conditions (see your
industrial hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls should be
implemented to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and local
exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below level of overexposure
(from known, suspected or apparent adverse effects).
