Chronic effects of exposure:
Chronic inhalation of vapors including intentional abuse can lead to damage to the brain,
nervous system, liver and kidneys. Contains crystalline silica (sand) which is classified by IARC
as Group 1 based upon chronic exposure to silica dust. This product does not pose a dust
hazard; therefore this classification is not relevant.
Synergistic materials:
None known.

FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes:
Flush with plenty of water. Call a physician if symptoms occur.
Skin:
Wash with soap and water. Seek medical attention if any effects persist.
Inhalation:
Move victim to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms persist.
Ingestion:
Seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a physician.
Other:
Referral to a physician is recommended if there is any question about the seriousness of the
injury/exposure

CONTROL MEASURES AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Engineering controls:
General (natural or mechanically induced fresh air movements).
Eye protection:
As appropriate for the work area or other work being done.
Skin protection:
Cloth gloves are suitable.
Respiratory protection:
None normally required. Where ventilation is inadequate to control vapors, use a NIOSH-
approved respirator with organic vapor cartridges. Never enter a confined space without an
appropriate air-supplied respirator.
Other:
No additional measures are normally required.

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Handling procedures and
equipment:
For industrial use only. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not get into the eyes. Avoid
prolonged or repeated contact with the skin. Practice good hygiene; i.e., wash after using and
before eating or smoking.
