3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Mists or sprays are irritating to eyes and respiratory tract. Can
decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases. Contents may develop pressure on prolonged
exposure to heat.
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Inhalation is not a likely route of exposure at normally encountered temperatures. Contact with mist or
spray may cause irritation of mucous membranes, coughing and difficulty in breathing. See "Other
Health Effects" Section.
Inhalation:
Prolonged, confined (especially under the finger nails, under rings or watch bands) or repeated
exposure may cause skin irritation. Prolonged and repeated contact may lead to dermatitis.
Skin Contact:
Not likely to be absorbed through the skin.
Skin Absorption:
This product may cause mild, transient irritation.
Eye Contact:
This product may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
Ingestion:
Effects (irritancy) on the skin and eyes may be delayed. Strict adherence to first aid measures following
any exposure is essential.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES
If respiratory problems arise, move the victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing
has stopped. Give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse. Obtain
medical advice IMMEDIATELY.
Inhalation:
Start flushing while removing contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and
water. If irritation, redness, or a burning sensation develops and persists, obtain medical advice.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush eyes thoroughly for 5 minutes with running water. Hold eyelids open during flushing.
If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact:
Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If victim is alert and not
convulsing, rinse mouth out and give 1/2 to 1 glass of water to dilute material. DO NOT induce
vomiting. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to avoid breathing
in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more water. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Ingestion:
Observe patient for respiratory difficulty from aspiration pneumonitis. Medical conditions that may be
aggravated by exposure to this product include diseases of the skin, eyes or respiratory tract.

Thermal decomposition products are toxic and may include oxides of carbon and irritating gases.
Hazardous Combustion
Products:
Do not direct a solid stream of foam into hot, burning pools. This may cause spattering and increase
fire intensity. Closed containers exposed to heat may burst. Spilled material may cause floors and
contact surfaces to become slippery.
Unusual Fire or Explosion
Hazards:
Not expected to be sensitive to mechanical impact.
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact:
Not available.

Explosive Power:
Not expected to be sensitive to static discharge.
Sensitivity to Static Discharge:
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Foam. Dry chemical, carbon dioxide or water spray. Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical media for small
fires. If only water is available, use it in the form of a fog.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
FIRE FIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS
Isolate materials that are not involved in the fire and protect personnel. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after the fire is out. Spilled material may cause floors and contact surfaces
to become slippery.
Instructions to the Fire Fighters:
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Information in this section is for responding to spills, leaks or releases in order to prevent or minimize the adverse effects on persons,
property and the environment. There may be specific reporting requirements associated with spills, leaks or releases, which change from
region to region.
In all cases of leak or spill contact vendor at Emergency Number shown on the front page of this MSDS.
Wear protective clothing. Recover spilled material on non-combustible absorbents, such as sand or
vermiculite, and place in covered containers for disposal. Collect product for recovery or disposal.
Ventilate enclosed spaces. Notify applicable government authority if release is reportable or could
adversely affect the environment.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Use normal "good" industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Containers exposed to heat may be
under internal pressure. These should be cooled and carefully vented before opening. A face shield
and apron should be worn. Vent container frequently, and more often in warm weather, to relieve
pressure. Always mix product before using. Product may congeal or stratify if cold. Allow to warm to
room temperature.
Handling Practices:
See Section 8, "Engineering Controls".
Ventilation Requirements:
Use only with adequate ventilation and avoid breathing aerosols ( vapours or mists ). Avoid contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Wash contaminated
clothing thoroughly before re-use.
Other Precautions:
STORAGE
See below. Do not freeze. The typical shelf life of this product is 2 years. (3)
Storage Temperature (°C):
General exhaust is acceptable.
Ventilation Requirements:
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Keep containers
closed. Do not expose sealed containers to temperatures above 40° C. Do not freeze. Although the
product is freeze-thaw stable, stratification may occur upon freezing. (3)
Storage Requirements:
Confirm suitability of any material before using.

Packaging or Containers:
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Recommendations listed in this section indicate the type of equipment, which will provide protection against overexposure to this
product. Conditions of use, adequacy of engineering or other control measures, and actual exposures will dictate the need for specific
protective devices at your workplace.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is acceptable. Local exhaust ventilation preferred. Make up air should be supplied to
balance air that is removed by local or general exhaust ventilation. Ventilate low lying areas such as
sumps or pits where dense vapours may collect.
Engineering Controls:
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended to prevent eye contact. Use chemical safety goggles
when there is potential for eye contact. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this
material.
Eye Protection:
Gloves and protective clothing made from rubber or plastic should be impervious under conditions of
use. Prior to use, user should confirm impermeability. Discard contaminated gloves.
Skin Protection:
No specific guidelines available. Respiratory protection should not be necessary unless the material is
heated or a mist created. A NIOSH/MSHA-approved air-purifying respirator equipped with dust, mist,
fume cartridges for concentrations up to 50 mg/m3 oil mist. An air-supplied respirator if concentrations
are higher or unknown.
If while wearing a respiratory protection, you can smell, taste or otherwise detect anything unusual, or in
the case of a full facepiece respirator you experience eye irritation, leave the area immediately. Check
to make sure the respirator to face seal is still good. If it is, replace the filter, cartridge or canister. If
the seal is no longer good, you may need a new respirator. (4)
Respiratory Protection:
Wear regular work clothing. The use of coveralls is recommended. Locate safety shower and eyewash
station close to chemical handling area. Take all precautions to avoid personal contact.
