SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: [ X ] INHALATION [ ] INGESTION [ X ] SKIN ABSORPTION [ ] EYE [ ] NOT HAZARDOUS

ACUTE EFFECTS:

Inhalation: Inhalation of mist can cause irritation of nasal and respiratory passages. Abusive or excessive inhalation may cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract, dizziness, nausea and other central nervous system effects.

Eye Contact: May cause slight irritation but does not injure eye tissue

Skin Contact: Frequent or prolonged contact may cause irritation.

Ingestion: Possible chemical pneumonitis if aspirated into lungs. Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, vomitting, nausea and diarrhea.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: May aggravate existing eye, skin, or upper respiratory conditions.

EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES

Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of cool running water for at least 15 minutes while holding upper and lower lids open. If irritation persists, get medical attention immediately.

Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. If irritation persists seek medical attention.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If continued difficulty is experienced, seek medical attention immediately. If breathing stops give artifical respiration.

Ingestion:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Seek medical attention immediately.

SECTION 6 - CONTROL AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES

Respiratory Protection (specify type): None needed for proper use in accordance with label directions.

Protective Gloves: None needed for proper use in accordance with label instructions. Use chemical resistant gloves if hand contact will be made.

Eye Protection: None needed unless it is anticipated that a splash or spray back will occur, then wear chemical proof splash goggles or face shield with safety glasses for splash protection.

Ventilation Requirements: Local exhaust to keep TLV of Section II ingredients below acceptable limits.

SECTION 7 - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Spilled Or Released: Maintain local exhaust and adequate ventilation. NO SMOKING. Keep sparks, heat sources, and open flame far away from spill or leak. Cover with suitable absorbent material and sweep up. Wash area to prevent slipping. Dispose of soaked absorbent material in accordance with federal, state, and local laws.

Waste Disposal Methods: Consult federal, state and local authorities for approved procedures.

Precautions To Be Taken In Handling & Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from heat or open flame. Do not store at temperatures above 120°F

Other Precautions &/or Special Hazards: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. For industrial and institutional use only.
