Conditions to Avoid:

No information.

INGESTION:  

No information.

EYES:                  

Liquid, aerosols and vapors of this product are irritating and can cause pain, tearing, reddening and swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation and/or a feeling like that of fine dust in the eyes.  Severely irritating.  If not removed promptly, will injure eye tissue, which may result in permanent damage.

INHALATION:       

Causes skin irritation.  Allergic reactions are possible.  Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash).  Harmful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin.

SKIN:

No information.

INGESTION:

Get medical attention immediately.  If swallowed, induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  Get medical attention immediately.

EYES:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water.  Get medical attention, if irritation persists.

INHALATION:

Remove to fresh air.  If not breathing, give artificial respiration.  If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.  Get immediate medical attention.

SKIN:

Wash with soap and water.  Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE LARGE AMOUNTS ARE RELEASED:

Dispose in accordance with State, local and Federal regulations.  Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical waste container.  Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:

No information.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:

Wash thoroughly after handling.  Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.  Keep from freezing.  Keep container closed when not in use.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS:

N/A

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:

A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits.  Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited.  Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.

VENTILATION:

No information.

LOCAL EXHAUST:

N/A

PROTECTIVE GLOVES:

Where contact is likely, wear chemical resistant gloves, a chemical suit, rubber boots, and chemical safety goggles plus a face shield.  Use chemical splash goggles and face shield (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).

EYE PROTECTION:

Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.
