POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
The acute oral (rat) and acute dermal (rabbit) LD50 values for this product have been
estimated to be > 2,500 mg/kg and 1,900 mg/kg, respectively. The calculated 4 hour
acute inhalation (rat) LC50 is > 8.8 mg/L.
Direct contact with this material may cause mild eye and skin irritation.
Repeated or prolonged dermal contact with this material may cause allergic skin
reactions.
 SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
If swallowed : Call a physician immediately. ONLY induce vomiting at the
instructions of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Skin contact : Immediately wash affected areas with soap and plenty of water.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Obtain medical attention.
Destroy or thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Do not reuse
contaminated clothing without laundering.
Eye contact : Immediately irrigate with plenty of water for 15 minutes.
Inhalation : If vapor or dust of this material is inhaled, remove from exposure.
Administer oxygen if there is difficulty in breathing. Obtain medical
attention immediately if necessary.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA AND FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Use water spray, carbon dioxide or dry chemical to extinguish fires. Use water to keep
containers cool. Wear self-contained, positive pressure breathing apparatus and full fire-
fighting protective clothing. See Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) for
special protective clothing.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Where exposure level is not known, wear NIOSH approved, positive pressure, self-
contained respirator. Where exposure level is known, wear NIOSH approved respirator
suitable for level of exposure. In addition to the protective clothing/equipment in Section
8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection), wear impervious boots. Cover spills with
some inert absorbent material; sweep up and place in a waste disposal container. Flush
area with water.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container
closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Where this material is not used in a closed system, good enclosure and local exhaust
ventilation should be provided to control exposure. Food, beverages, and tobacco
products should not be carried, stored, or consumed where this material is in use. Before
eating, drinking, or smoking, wash face and hands with soap and water. Avoid skin
contact. Protective clothing such as impervious gloves, apron, workpants, long sleeve
work shirt, or disposable coveralls are recommended to prevent skin contact. For
operations where eye or face contact can occur, wear eye protection such as chemical
splash proof goggles or face shield. Eyewash equipment and safety shower should be
provided in areas of potential exposure. Where exposures are below the Permissible
Exposure Limit (PEL), no respiratory protection is required. Where exposures exceed the
PEL, use respirator approved by NIOSH for the material and level of exposure. See
"GUIDE TO INDUSTRIAL RESPIRATORY PROTECTION" (NIOSH).
 It is recommended that a shower be taken after completion of workshift especially if
significant contact has occurred. Work clothing should then be laundered prior to reuse.
Street clothing should be stored separately from work clothing and protective equipment.
Work clothing and shoes should not be taken home.
