Primary Route(s) of Entry: Skin contact /absorption, inhalation and eye contact Target Organ Effects: None expected IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS EYES: Exposure may cause noticeable pain, and severe irritation. SKIN: Exposure may cause severe skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure

may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, and 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: Solvent vapors or mist of products can cause irritation of mucous membrane. INGESTION: May be fatal. Burning pain in mouth, throat, abdomen, severe swelling of

the larynx, skeletal muscle paralysis affecting the ab ility to breathe, circulatory shock, convulsions.

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

Eye/Skin Contact: Immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Remove and wash

contaminated clothing before reuse. For eyes call physician. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Inhalation: If symptoms develop, move victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Ingestion: If swallowed drink promptly, large quantity of egg whites, gelatin solution or

large quantities of water. Avoid alcohol. Call a physician immediately. Note to Physician: Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOU S PERSON.

Flash Point: Over 200 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

Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, Water Fog, CO

Small Spill: Remove ignition sources. Wear respirator. May be mopped up or flushed

away with water or absorbed on some absorbent material and incinerated. Large Spill: Stop leak at the source and collect into a suitable container, then treat as a small spill.

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 original container. Keep from freezing. Keep container closed when not in use.

, Foam

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 or neoprene gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier). To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots. Respiratory Protection: If good ventilation is maintained none is required. 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 (explosion proof) ventilation (general and local exhaust) to maintain exposure below level of overexposure (from known, suspected or apparent adverse effects).
