HMIS
The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, lungs, the reproductive system, liver, mucous
membranes, brain, upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes, central nervous system (CNS), ears, testes.
Overexposure of this product by inhalation or absorption can produce central nervous system
depression resulting in headache, nausea and/or dizziness. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin
and cause irritation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs
damage. Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by
an accumulation in one or many human organs.
Dermal contact. Eye contact. Inhalation.
Section 3. Hazards Identification
Routes of Entry
Acute EffectsAvoid breathing vapors, spray or mists. Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory
irritation. Can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression.
Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Skin inflammation is
characterized by itching, scaling, reddening or, occasionally, blistering.

Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
Closed cup: 48.9\u00b0C (120\u00b0F).
(Tagliabue.)
Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray (fog) or foam. Use water spray to dilute spill to a nonflammable condition. Do not release runoff from fire to sewers or waterways.
Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of
ignition and flash back.

COMBUSTIBLE.
Eliminate all ignition sources. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Dilute with
water and mop up if water-soluble or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste
disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according
to local and regional authority requirements.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Clean upStore and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Store in a dry, cool and well-
ventilated area. Store between the following temperatures: 40\u00b0F - 120\u00b0F (4.4\u00b0C - 49\u00b0C). Keep away from
incompatibles. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep out of the reach of children.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use with adequate ventilation.
Avoid breathing vapors, spray or mists. Observe label precautions. Wash thoroughly after handling.
