SECTION IV HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Route of Entry: Skin [X] Eyes [X] Inhalation [X] Ingestion [X]
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE: May cause redness, tearing and blurred vision with eye contact, prolonged or
repeated skin contact may cause moderate irritation, defatting and dermatitis. Excessive inhalation of vapour can cause
nasal and respiratory irritation, central nervous system effects including dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache
and possible unconsciousness and even asphyxiation. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea. Aspiration of liquid may cause pneumonitis.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Over exposure to components in this product have apparently been found to
cause the following effects in laboratory animals. Kidney damage, liver abnormalities, anemia, lung damage, over
exposure to components in this product have been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans: liver
abnormalities, kidney damage, lung damage.

SECTION V FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: If over exposed to oil mist, remove from further exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing
has stopped. Keep at rest. Call for prompt medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, get medical
attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of water. Use soap if it is available. Remove severely contaminated
clothing (including shoes) and launder before reuse. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt medical attention.

SECTION VI PREVENTATIVE AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTION: The selection of personal protective equipment varies depending upon conditions of use.
Where prolonged and/or repeated skin and eye contact is likely to occur, wear safety glasses with side shields, long
sleeves, and chemical resistant gloves. Where eye contact is unlikely, but may occur as a result of short and/or periodic
exposures, wear safety glasses with side shields. Where concentrations in air may exceed the occupational exposure
limits given in Section 4 and where engineering work practices or other means of exposure reduction are not adequate,
approved respirators may be necessary to prevent overexposure by inhalation.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions near the
source. Provide mechanical ventilation in a confined space.
HANDLING STORAGE AND SHIPPING: Store in cool, well ventilated area. Keep away from open flames and high
temperatures. Product is not regulated by TDGR.
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURES: Absorb residue with an inert absorbent. Shovel into waste container and dispose.
Prevent material from entering drains, sewers or waterways.
SECTION VII FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZAR
Flashpoint and method: 154 deg C COC
Autoignition: NA Flammable Limits: LEL NA UEL: NA
GENERAL HAZARDS: Low hazard; liquids may burn upon heating to temperatures at or above the flash point.
Decomposes; flammable/toxic gases will form at elevated temperatures (thermal decomposition). Toxic gases will form
upon combustion.
Empty product containers may contain product residue. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld, or expose containers to flame
or other sources of ignition.
FIRE FIGHTING: Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. Shut off fuel to fire. Use
foam, dry chemical or water spray to extinguish fire. Respiratory and eye protection required for fire fighting personnel.
Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers due to danger of boil over.
A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) should be used for all indoor fires and any significant outdoor fires. For
small outdoor fires, which may easily be extinguished with a portable fire extinguisher, use of an SCBA may not be
required.
SECTION VIII REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: This product is stable. Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS AND CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Strong oxidizing agents. Acids
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION: Decomposition products are highly dependent on the combustion conditions.
Significant concentrations of hazardous decomposition products are not expected.
