Section 2: Hazards Identification

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS and SYMPTOMS from SHORT TERM/ACUTE EXPOSURE:
EYE EXPOSURE; This product is not expected to cause eye irritation under normal conditions of use.
Symptoms of slight eye irritations may result when direct contact occurs, or when exposed to high mist
levels in poorly ventilated areas.
SKIN EXPOSURE: Short term skin contact is not expected to cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated
direct exposure to the skin may result in symptoms of irritation and redness.
INHALATION: This product has low volatility and so is not expected to cause respiratory tract irritation
during normal conditions of use. Exposure to high mist levels in poorly ventilated areas may cause
temporary irritation to the upper respiratory tract.
INGESTION: Ingestion may cause slight stomach irritation and discomfort.
POTENTIAL CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS: No further data known.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVED BY EXPOSURE: No further data known.
CARCINOGENITY: This product is not listed as a known or suspected carcinogen by IARC, OSHA, or
the NTP.
Section 3: Composition / Information on Ingredients

This product is a semi-solid that is insoluble in water. Direct eye contact may cause minor, short term
irritation. Short term skin exposure is not expected to be irritating. Inhalation and ingestion are not
anticipated routes of exposure during normal conditions of use.
Components listed in this section may contribute to the potential hazards associated with exposure to the concentrate. The product may contain additional non-hazardous or trade-secret components. Hazardous Ingredients

Section 4: First Aid Measures

EYE CONTACT: Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15
minutes. If symptoms persist, contact a physician.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove product from the skin by washing with a mild soap and water. Contaminated
clothing should be removed to prevent prolonged exposure. If product is injected under the skin, seek
treatment immediately. If symptoms of exposure persist, contact a physician.
INHALATION: If signs or symptoms of overexposure occur, remove the employee to fresh air. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: If ingested, dilute stomach contents with two glasses of milk or water. (NOTE: Do NOT
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.) Do not induce vomiting without medical supervision. If
vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airway clear. If symptoms of ingestion persist, seek medical attention.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No further data known.
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE PROPERTIES:

Flashpoint……………………….320.0º F COC EXTINGUISING MEDIA: In accordance with NFPA guidance, dry chemical, foam, or CO2 fire
extinguishers are all acceptable. Note that while water fog extinguishers are also acceptable, do NOT apply
a direct stream of water onto burning product because it may cause spreading and increase fire intensity.
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: No further data known.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENTS: Emergency responders in the danger area
should wear bunker gear and self-contained breathing apparatus for fires beyond the incipient stage. See
Section 8 of the MSDS for other PPE to be worn as conditions warrant.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

CLEAN UP MEASURES: Important: As with any spill or leak, before responding ensure that you are
familiar with the potential hazards and recommendations of the MSDS. Appropriate personal protective
equipment must be worn. See Section 8 of this MSDS for PPE recommendations.
If possible, safely contain the spill with dikes or other spill response equipment appropriate for petroleum
or organic material releases. Take measures to prevent spreading of product. Note that while product will
ignite it will not readily burn. However, as a precaution eliminate ignition sources. Prevent from entering
sewers or waterways. Large volumes may be transferred to an appropriate container for proper disposal.
Small volumes or residues may be soaked up with absorbents. Spill response materials should be collected
for proper disposal.
Section 7: Handling and Storage

HANDLING: As with any industrial chemical, handle the product in a manner that minimizes exposure to
practicable levels. Prior to handling, consult Section 8 of this MSDS to evaluate personal protective
equipment needs. Open containers slowly to relieve any pressure. Follow all other standard industrial
hygiene practices.
Empty containers may contain product residue. All safety precautions taken when handling this product
should also be taken when handling empty drums and containers. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Product residue in empty containers is combustible but will not readily burn. NOTE however, that
excessive heating or cutting of empty containers may create an ignition source sufficient to start a fire and
in extreme cases, cause an explosion.
STORAGE: Protect product quality by storing indoors and away from extreme temperatures. Close all
containers when not in use.
SPECIAL COMMENTS: No further data known.

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Selection of personal protective equipment should be
based upon the anticipated exposure and made in accordance with OSHA’s Personal Protective Equipment
Standard found in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart I. The following information may be used to assist in PPE
selection.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear eye protection appropriate to prevent eye exposure. Where splashing is not
likely, chemical safety glasses with side shields are recommended. Where splashing may occur, chemical
goggles or full face shield is recommended.
SKIN PROTECTION: Gloves are not normally needed during normal conditions of use. If health effects
are experienced, oil or chemical resistant gloves such as butyl or nitrile are recommended.
Where splashing or soaking is likely, wear oil or chemical resistant clothing to prevent exposure.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A respirator may be worn to reduce exposure to vapors, dust, or mist.
Select a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator appropriate for the type and physical character of the airborne
material. A self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended in all situations where airborne contaminant
concentration has not been confirmed to be below safe levels. Respirator use should comply with the
OSHA Respirator Protection Standard founding 29 CFR 1910.134.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Normal general ventilation is expected to be adequate. It is
recommended that ventilation be designed in all instances to maintain airborne concentrations at lowest
practicable levels. Ventilation should at a minimum, prevent airborne concentrations from exceeding any
exposure limits listed in Section 2 of this MSDS.
The user may wish to refer to 29 CFR 1910.1000(d)(2) and the ACGIH “Threshold Limit Values for
Chemical Substances and Physical Agents Biological Exposure Indicies” (Appendix C) for the
determination of exposure limits of mixtures. An industrial hygientist or similar professional may be
consulted to confirm that the calculated exposure limits apply.
