SECTION 6 HEALTH HAZARDS PROTECTIVE MEASURES FIRST AID
Carcinogen: No
EYES: Severely irritating to the eyes. Use chemical goggles to prevent contact. Prolonged or repeated eye contact can cause blindness. In the event of contact flush with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if symptoms develop.
SKIN: Can cause skin irritation on repeated or prolonged contact. Use neoprene or rubber gloves and apron when handling this product. In the event of contact wash with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if symptoms develop.
INHALATION: Excessive inhalation of mist or vapors can cause breathlessness and possible respiratory failure. Use with adequate ventilation. Get medical attention if any symptoms occur.
INGESTION: Ingestion may cause severe abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting, blurred vision with possible blindness and death. Get immediate medical attention.
IN ALL CASES: GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IF ADVERSE EFFECTS PERSIST
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Skin, eyes, inhalation, ingestion.
HYGIENE: Wash
hands and face before eating or drinking.
SECTION 7 PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING, STORAGE AND USE
SPILLS AND LEAKS: Keep all sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces away from spill. Use foam on spills to minimize vapors and potential for fire. Small spills may be absorbed into absorbent material suitable for hydrocarbon liquids.
STORAGE AND HANDLING: Open container slowly to relieve any pressure. Ground all equipment when transferring from one container to another. Use explosion proof equipment. Use and store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store in approved containers away for incompatible materials
WASTE DISPOSAL: Follow recommendations of local, state and federal regulations.
EMPTY CONTAINERS: Empty containers may contain dangerous vapor residue. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose to heat, flame, sparks or other sources of ignitions. Containers must be disposed of in accordance to regulations.
