Section 3 -- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF ACUTE HAZARDS
Repeated inhalation may cause dizziness, nausea and CNS effects. May cause
severe eye and skin irritation.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
INHALATION
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects
characterized by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages
may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to
respiratory failure.
EYE CONTACT
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation.
SKIN CONTACT
Irritation and drying.
INGESTION
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause central nervous
system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness,
coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
SUMMARY OF CHRONIC HAZARDS
Skin irritation, contact dermatitis, and defatting.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Individuals with pre-existing or chronic diseases of the eyes, skin,
respiratory system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, liver,
or kidneys may have increased susceptibility to excessive exposure.
=============================================================================
Section 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If INHALED: If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air
immediately. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as
needed. Obtain emergency medical attention. Prompt
action is essential.
If on SKIN: Immediately wash with soap and water. Remove and wash
any contaminated clothing.
If in EYES: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention if irritation persists.
If SWALLOWED: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce
vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Section 5 -- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASH POINT LEL UEL
N/D N/D N/D
Positive Flame Extension, (NFPA) Level 3 Aerosol
EXTINGUSING MEDIA
Foam, dry chemical, CO2, or water fog.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained full face piece
breathing apparatus and full body protective clothing. Hazardous
decomposition products possible (see Section 10). Evacuate area. Dike area
as run-off may create additional environmental contamination.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Aerosol cans are under pressure -
exposure to temperatures above 120F can cause bursting or "rocketing" of cans.
=============================================================================
Section 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Use absorbent
materials to prevent footing hazard and to contain. Ventilate area with
forced air ventilation. Avoid flushing into sewers, drains, waterways, and
soil. Wear protective clothing and respiratory protection during cleanup.
=============================================================================
Section 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Shake well before using.
Keep away from heat and open flames. Prolonged exposure to direct sunshine or
storage above 120 F may cause can to burst. Do not puncture or incinerate can.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin or clothing.
Empty containers may contain residues; treat as if full and observe all
products precautions.
=============================================================================
Section 8 -- EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE): In confined, poorly ventilated areas,
use NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying or supplied air respirator.
VENTILATION - LOCAL EXHAUST: Acceptable
SPECIAL: Explosion proof
MECHANICAL (GENERAL): Acceptable
OTHER: N/A
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Wear rubber gloves.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses (ANSI Z-87.1 or equivalent)
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Chemical resistant coveralls
recommended.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Where use can result in skin contact, wash exposed
areas thoroughly before eating, drinking, smoking, or leaving work area.
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
