HEALTH
HAZARD DATA:
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, ingestion, skin, and eyes.
Inhalation: Nasal, respiratory irritation, fatigue, dizziness, and headache.
Inhalation: Nasal, respiratory irritation, fatigue, dizziness,
and headache.
Ingestion: Gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Aspiration into lungs can cause chemical pneumonia.
Skin Contact: Possible irritation.

EMERGENCY
FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Eye Contact: Flush with clean water for at least 15 minutes. If
irritation persists, get medical attention.
Inhalation: If overcome by vapor, remove from exposure and administer
oxygen if breathing is irregular. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Material can be aspirated into
lungs and cause chemical pneumonia. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove saturated clothing. Wash skin with soap and
water.
Chronic Health Effects: Not listed as a carcinogen by the NTP,
IARC, or OSHA. No adverse long term affects known.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Preexisting lung or
skin conditions could be aggravated by continued exposure.
PRECAUTIONS
FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Eliminate
ignition sources. Recover product. Spread sand, earth, or other suitable
absorbent to spill area. Minimize vapor or skin contact. Keep product
from sewers and water courses by constructing a dam or impounding.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose in accordance with Federal, State,
and local regulations.
Storage: Store in a ventilated area away from heat and ignition
sources.
Other Precautions: Avoid breathing vapors. Keep containers closed
when not in use.
