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, drying and
cracking. 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 INF ORMATION:This material is not listed as a
carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
LONG TERM EFFECTS: No Data
SECTION - 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and contact a physician. SKIN:
Thoroughly wash exposed skin with soap and water.
INGESTION: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Drink 2 to 3 glasses
of water and contact a physician.
IN ALL CASES : If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
SECTION - 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: No flash to 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
impervio us 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 yo ur industrial hy gienist). 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).
