WILL CAUSE
INGESTION/INHALATION: CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS TO THE MOUTH,
THROAT AND STOMACH.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
permanent damage. Causes burns to skin. Breathing of mist can cause
irritation to nasal and repiratory passages. Ingestion can cause damage to
mucous membranes.
ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE:
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
EYES:
FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, TAKE TO A
PHYSICIAN FOR TREATMENT. IF SWALLOWED: OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN: THOROUGHLY WASH EXPOSED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER.
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.
INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, GIVE CPR IF UNCONSCIOUS.
Causes burns to eyes that may cause
FATALITIES CAN OCCUR FROM INGESTION.
-------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION VII PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE
HANDLING AND USE
-------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Evaculate immediate area where concentrated fumes are persent. Clean up
Personnel must wear proper protective equipment. Completely contain spilled
Material with dikes, etc., and prevent runoff into ground and surface waters or
Into sewers. Dilute with water and neutralized with doda ash or dilute caustic
soda. Neutralized material, both liquid and solid, should be recovered for proper
disposal. Provide adequate ventilation. Neutralize with basic material.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: TREATMENT
be sent to a licensed reclaimer or disposed of in a permitted waste management
facility. Neutralized liquid residues should be acceptable for discharge to a
sanitary sewer with permission of the receiving facility. Consult federal, state,
and/or local authorities for approved procedure. Empty containers may be triple
rinsed with water to remove all residues and disposed of in a sanitary landfill.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IN CLOSED CONTAINER TO PREVENT
EVAPORATION. MAY BE STORED IN TEMPERATURES FROM 40F TO 140F
WITHOUT DETERIORATION.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT." PRODUCT IS A STONG CLEANER AND
DEGREASER IN AN ACIDIC SOLUTION. THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE
HANDLED WITH CARE AND USED ONLY FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.
FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.

SECTION VIII CONTROL MEASURES
-------------------------------------------------------------
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: Provide sufficient explosion-proof
general
and/or local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure below the TLV
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Paste has low vapor
pressure at room temperature and is not expected to present a significant
.
inhalation hazard under ambient conditions. For vapor or mist concentrations;
which exceed or are likely to exceed threshold limit value (TLV) for
material, a NIOSH/MSHA approved supplied air respirator in the
continuous feed mode should be utilized. A NIOSH approved dust/mist
respirator may be sued for nuisance level mists. Follow all applicable
respirator use standards and regulations.
EYES:
Chemical splash goggles and/or full-face shield (8-inch
Minimum) in compliance with OSHA regulations. Do not wear
Contact lenses because they may contribute to the severity of an eye injury.
GLOVES:
OTHER CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT:
headgear as needed depending on application methods and job-site
conditions. Eyewash and safety shower should be readily accessible.
Rubber type, neoprene or PVC with acceptable acid resistance
Acid-resistant rubber boots,
-------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------
WORK PRACTICES: Proper work practices and planning should be utilized to
Avoid contact with workers, passerby, and non-masonry surfaces. Do not
automize during application. Beware of wind drift. Pre-rinsing with lowpressure water immediately before pressure washing effectively reduces product
content in pressure washing residues. See the Product Data Sheet and label for
specific precautions to be taken during use. Smoking, eating and drinking
should
be prohibited during the use of this product. Wash hands before breaks and at
the end of a shift.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE
safety equipment (see VIII) when handling. Store in a cool, well -ventilated area.
Separate from oxidizing agents, reducing agents, alkalis, cyanides, sulfides, etc.
(see section VI). Dilution, storage and application equipment should be HDPE,
plyproplene or other acid-resistant materials. Addition of acidic cleaner to water
releases heat which can result in violent boiling andn spattering. Always add
cleaner to water slowly and in small amounts. Never use hot water. Never
add water to acidic cleaners. 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 this data sheet must be observed.
