Hazards
Identification
Routes
of Entry: (under
normal conditions of use)
Skin Contact: Moderate Eye Contact: Moderate Ingestion: Minor Inhalation: Minor
Effects
of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure:
Inhalation: Vapour concentrations are normally too low
at room temperature (low vapour pressure) to cause observable health effects.
Skin Contact: Solution may irritate the
skin and area under nails and may lead to dermatitis and sensitization. This
product may cause irritation if sealed to the skin for a prolonged period by
gloves, shoes or tight clothing.
Eye Contact: Solutions may cause mild
irritation.
Ingestion: Ingestion is an
unlikely route of entry. Ingestion may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal
lining.
Effects
of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure:
The chronic effects may be mild dermatitis and skin
sensitization from skin contact.
Medical
Conditions Aggravated By Exposure:
Unlikely to aggravate existing medical conditions.
4.
First Aid
Measures
Eye Contact: Flush contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently running water for 30 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash affected area immediately with mild soap and water and continue for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek immediate medical attention. Remove any contaminated clothing and launder clothing before reuse.
Inhalation: This product is not expected to present an inhalation hazard at ambient conditions. If victim has been exposed to vapors remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, a trained person should perform artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Dilute contents of stomach with 1-2 glasses of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire Fighting
Measures
Flash point: Not Applicable
Autoignition temperature: Not applicable. See information under “Fire Fighting Instructions”
Lower Explosive Limit: Not established
Upper
Explosion Limit: Not established
Sensitivity to Impact: Not sensitive.
Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not sensitive.
Hazardous Combustion Products: May release carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Extinguishing Media: No specific recommendation. Use media to suppress surrounding fire.
Fire
Fighting Instructions: Do not enter confined fire space without proper personal protection. Use
approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not use water
except as
a fog. Cool surrounding containers with
water spray. Prevent runoff to sewers and waterways.
NATIONAL
FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) HAZARD INDEX:
HEALTH: 0 - No more hazardous than normal combustible
material under fire conditions.
FLAMMABILITY: 1 - Must be preheated before ignition can
occur.
REACTIVITY: 0 - Normally stable.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS: None.
6.
Accidental
Release Measures
Personal Protection: Evacuate
unnecessary personnel from spill area. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. Ventilate area. Do not touch spilled product without proper personal
protection. See Section 8 for proper protective equipment to be worn while
cleaning an accidental spill.
Accidental Release
Measures, continued
Environmental Precautions:
Implement spill control plan. Stop or reduce leak if safe
to do so. Prevent from entering sanitary or storm sewers, waterways, or
confined spaces. Use inert materials such as earth or sand to form dike.
Remedial Measures:
Restrict access to area until completion of cleanup.
Ensure cleanup is conducted by trained personnel only. Use all appropriate
personal protective equipment. Contain spillage and mop up with absorbant
material. Keep materials from spilling into sewers, storm drains, surface
water, and soil. Comply with all applicable governmental regulations on spill
reporting, handling and disposal of waste.
7.
Handling and
Storage
Handling Procedures: Ensure
adequate ventilation. Have emergency equipment readily available. Keep
containers closed when not in use. Wash
face and hands thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking, or using
tobacco products.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area,
out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Store away from incompatible materials such
as strong acids, bases, and oxidizers. Keep storage area separate from
populated work areas or food.
8.
Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use
general or local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure below the exposure
limits.
Respiratory
Protection: Not required under normal use. Use a NIOSH approved
dust/fume respirator when appropriate.
NOTE: Air purifying respirators
do not protect against oxygen deficient atmospheres.
Skin protection: For
prolonged exposure wear impervious gloves and boots and/or other protective
clothing according to circumstances.
Eye and Face
Protection: If material is used in such a way that splashing could
occur, use splash proof safety googles. The wearing of contact lenses is not
recommended.
Footwear: As required by worksite rules.
Other: Have
a safety shower and eye wash station readily available in the immediate work
area.
