POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

 Routes of Exposure:  Eye Contact, Skin Contact, Inhalation, Ingestion, Signs and Symptoms of Overdose

 EYE:  May cause minor eye irritation.

 SKIN:  No significant adverse effects are expected under anticipated conditions of normal use.  Repeated, prolonged exposure may cause slight flaking, tenderness, and softening of skin.

 INHALATION: No significant adverse effects are expected under anticipated conditions of normal use.  If effects do occur, refer to FIRST AID section.  

INGESTION:  No significant adverse effects are expected under anticipated conditions of normal use.  Excessive ingestion may cause central nervous system effects.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:   Same as above.

 MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:  Material and/or its emissions may aggravate preexisting eye disease.

 OTHER HEALTH INFORMATION:  None.

 4.  FIRST AID MEASURES

 Eyes: Immediately rinse eyes with clean water for 20-30 minutes.  Retract eyelids often.  Obtain medical attention if pain, blinking, tears or redness persist.

Skin: Product is not expected to present a significant skin hazard under anticipated conditions of normal use.|

Inhalation:   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.

Ingestion:   If large quantity is swallowed, give a pint of luke warm water if victim is completely conscious and alert.  If large quantities are consumed, induce vomiting.  Obtain emergency medical attention

5.  FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
FLASH POINT:  (deg F): 211

 Flammable or Explosive Limits (approximate % by volume in air) LEL: 2.4  UEL: 17.4

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:  Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, alcohol type foam, water spray, water fog.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:  Wear positive pressure, self contained breathing apparatus and other protective apparatus as warranted.  Fight fire from distance or protected location - heat may build up pressure and rupture closed containers.  Liquid may form slippery film.  Use water spray or fog for cooling, solid stream may spread fire as burning liquid will float on water.  Avoid frothing/steam explosion.  Notify authorities if liquid enters sewers/public waters.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:  Heat from fire can generate flammable vapor.  When mixed with air and exposed to ignition source, vapors can burn in open or explode if confined. Vapors may be heavier than air and travel long distances along ground before igniting and flashing back.  Fine sprays and mists may be combustible at temperatures below normal flash point.

6.  ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:  Prevent flow to sewers and public waters as it may contaminate said water.  Restrict water usage to prevent slip/fall hazard.  Soak up small spills with inert solids.  Dike and recover large land spills.  Notify appropriate authorities if product enters any waterway.

7.  HANDLING AND STORAGE

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:  Store in tightly closed and properly vented containers, away from heat, sparks, open flame, and strong oxidizing agents.

8.  EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

 Respiratory  Protection:  No special respiratory protection equipment is recommended under normal conditions of  anticipated use with adequate ventilation.

Ventilation: Adequate general ventilation is required, local exhaust is recommended if possible.

Protective Gloves: Not required.

Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles or full face shield must be worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying liquid, airborne particles, or vapor.  Contact lenses should not be worn.

Other Protective Equipment:   None.

Work Practices/Engineering Controls:   Keep containers closed when not in use.

Personal Hygiene:  If product-handling results in skin contact, wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities.  Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
