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 l arge 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.
IDENTIFICATION
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 - 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES- Immediately flush with water. Remove contact
lenses, if applicable, and continue flushing with water for 15
minutes. Call physician immediately.
SKIN-Immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Call a
physician if irritation persists. Completely decontaminate
clothing, shoes, and leather goods before reuse or discard.
INHALATION- If symptoms develop move victim to fresh air.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
INGESTION- Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with
water, then drink one or two glasses of water or milk. Call a
physician, immediately. Never give anything by mouth if
victim is unconscious, is rapidly losing consciousness or is
convulsing.
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 wallking 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).
