SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Route(s) of Entry - Inhalation: X Eyes: X Skin: X Ingestion: X
HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION: EYES: May cause mild irritation. SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause
irritation.
INHALATION: Prolonged exposure can be irritating to eyes, nose and respiratory tract. Can be harmful or fatal
at high
concentrations. INHALATION: Asphyxiant. Symptoms are dependent on rapidity of oxygen deficiency development
and
duration. Unconsciousness is immediate in sudden acute asphyxia. Slow development may cause rapid breathing,
dizziness, incoordination, fatigue, and progress to nausea, vomiting, and possibly death. INGESTION: May be
harmful if swallowed. Possible aspiration hazard. May cause inflammation of the lungs.
AGGRAVATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS: May aggravate pre-existing skin conditions.
CHRONIC EFFECTS/TARGET ORGANS: None known.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: EYES: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get
prompt medical attention. SKIN: Wash with soap and plenty of water. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If
symptoms develop, seek immediate medical attention. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. INGESTION:
Get immediate medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
CARCINOGENICITY: No regulated ingredients.
TOXICITY INFORMATION: No data available.
SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Releases or Spills: Remove all sources of ignition and ventilate area. Soak up spill with an inert
absorbent and
place into a designated disposal container. Consult local regulatory agency for proper disposition of
material.
Waste Disposal Method: Do not puncture or incinerate containers. When contents are depleted continue to
depress button until all gas is expelled. Dispose of container in accordance with local, state, and federal
regulations.
Handling And Storing: Avoid breathing vapor. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Use with adequate
ventilation. Do not puncture or incinerate containers. Do not expose to direct sunlight or store at
temperatures above 120F (48.9C). Store as Level 1 Aerosol (NFPA 30B).
Other Precautions: Please read and follow the directions on the product label; they are your best guide
to using this product in the most effective way, and give the necessary safety precautions to protect your
health.
SECTION VIII - EMPLOYEE PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection (Type): None required if good ventilation is maintained. If exposure exceeds
occupational
exposure limits (Sec. II), use a NIOSH approved respirator to prevent overexposure.
Ventilation: General ventilation is adequate under normal conditions; mechanical ventilation is
optional.
Protective Gloves: Chemical resistant gloves are recommended – consult glove manufacturer to determine
the proper type for a specific operation.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses are recommended.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Wear impervious clothing to prevent skin contact.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Ensure strict sanitary conditions are conformed to when working around
chemicals.
Protective clothing and equipment should be in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.132 and CFR 1910.133.
