SECTION 3 : HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

491G

Emergency Overview:

DANGER
Vapor Harmful. Contents Under
Pressure.

Physical State:

Liquid

Color:

Colorless

Odor:

Irritating odor at high concentrations

As
defined by OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, this product is
hazardous.

Applies to All
Ingredients:

Potential Health Effects:

Eye Contact:

May cause
slight temporary eye irritation. Vapors may irritate the eyes at
concentrations of 100 ppm.

Skin Contact:

Short single
exposure may cause skin irritation. Prolonged exposure may cause
severe skin irritation, even a burn. A single prolonged exposure is
not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in
harmful amounts.

Inhalation:

Dizziness may
occur at concentrations of 200 ppm. Progressively higher levelsmay
also cause nasal irritation, nausea, incoordination, and
drunkenness. Veryhigh levels or prolonged exposure could lead to
unconsciousness and death.

Ingestion:

Single dose
oral toxicity is considered to be extremely low. Swallowing
largeamounts may cause injury if aspirated into the lungs. This may
be rapidlyabsorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other
body systems.

Chronic Health Effects:

Repeated
contact with skin may cause drying or flaking of skin. Excessive or
longterm exposure to vapors may increase sensitivity to epinephrine
and increasemyocardial irritability.

Target Organs:

Central nervous system. Possibly liver and kidney.

See
Section 11 for toxicology and carcinogenicity information on product
ingredients.

SECTION 4 : FIRST AID MEASURES

491G

Eye Contact:

Immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes.
Call a physician if irritation persists.

Skin Contact:

Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area
with soap and water. Call a physicianif irritation persists.
Wash contaminated clothing prior to re-use.

Inhalation:

Remove person to fresh air. Keep person calm. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. Ifbreathing is
difficult give oxygen. Call a physician.

Ingestion:

Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician
immediately.

Note to Physicians:

Because rapid absorption may occur through lungs if
aspirated and cause systemic effects,the decision of whether
to induce vomiting or not should be made by a physician. If
lavage isperformed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal
control. If burn is present, treat as anythermal burn, after
decontamination. Exposure may increase myocardial
irritability. Do notadminister sympathomimetic drugs unless
absolutely necessary.

Antidote:

No specific
antidote.

SECTION 5 : FIRE FIGHTING
MEASURES

491G

Fire:

Flammable Properties: This product is
nonflammable.

Flash Point:

None

Flash Point Method:

(TCC)

Upper Flammable or Explosive
Limit:

None

Lower Flammable or Explosive
Limit:

None

Auto Ignition Temperature:

None

Extinguishing Media:

This material does not burn. Use extinguishing agent
suitable for surrounding fire.

Hazardous Combustion
Byproducts:

Hydrogen chloride. Trace amounts of phosgene, and
chlorine.

Fire Fighting Instructions:

Firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved

possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eyeand skin
protection should be provided. Use water spray to keep
fire-exposedcontainers cool and to knock down vapors which may
result from
productdecomposition.

SECTION 6 : ACCIDENTAL RELEASE
MEASURES

491G

Personal Precautions:

Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Do
not breathe vapors.

Spill Cleanup Measures:

Methods for Containment & Clean-up: Dike area to
contain spill. Ventilate the area with fresh air. If in
confinedspace or limited air circulation area, clean-up
workers should wearappropriate respiratory protection. Recover
or absorb spilled material using an absorbent designed for
chemical spills. Place used absorbents into proper waste
containers.

Environmental Precautions:

Take precautions to prevent contamination of ground and
surface waters. Do not flush into sewers or storm
drains.

SECTION 7 : HANDLING and STORAGE

491G

Handling:

Vapors of this product are heavier than air and will
collect in low areas. Make sureventilation removes vapors from
low areas. Do not eat, drink or smoke while using
thisproduct.

Storage:

Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight.
Aerosol cans must be maintained below 120 deg Fto prevent cans
from rupturing.

Aerosol Storage Level:
I

To Top of page

SECTION 8 : EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL
PROTECTION

491G

Engineering Controls:

Area should have ventilation to provide fresh air. Use
local exhaust to prevent accumulationof vapors. Provide proper
exhaust to remove vapors from low areas. Use mechanicalmeans
if necessary to maintain vapor levels below the exposure
guidelines. If working in aconfined space, follow applicable
OSHA regulations

Skin Protection Description:

Use protective gloves such as PVA, Teflon or Viton.
Also, use full protective clothing if there is prolonged or
repeated contact of liquid with skin.

Eye/Face Protection:

For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there
is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear splash-proof
goggles.

Respiratory Protection:

None required for normal work where adequate
ventilation is provided. Use NIOSH-approved self-contained
positive pressure respirators in low circulation areas and for
emergencies.
