There are no ingredients or additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the
supplier and in the concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and
hence require reporting in this section.
This product may cause mild irritatation to eyes and skin upon contact.
Prolonged and repeated contact with skin can cause drying of the skin resulting in irritation and dermatitis.
Inflammation of the eye is characterized by mild redness, watering, and itching.
Skin inflammation is characterized by mild itching, scaling, reddening.
Ingestion can cause burning sensation, vomiting, drowsiness and in severe cases pulmonary edema.
Inhalation of excessive amounts may result in impairment, such as drowsiness, lack of coordination, headache and
nausea.
Section 3. Hazard Identification
Potential Acute Health
Effects
Emergency Overview
Flammable liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Avoid contact with skin
and clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.
WARNING !
FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. COMBUSTIBLE.
See Section #11: "Toxicological Information" for further human health effects.

Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the
respiratory system during ingestion or from vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and possible death.
Note to Physician
Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Move exposed person to fresh air. Keep person warm and at
rest. If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink.
Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so
by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get
medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if
symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Move exposed person to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if
respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the
person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or
are severe. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open
airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

No specific data.
Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray (fog) or foam.
Container explosion may occur under fire conditions or when heated. Vapor may travel a considerable distance to
source of ignition and flash back. Vigorously supports combustion. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame.
Vapours may travel along ground and flashback along vapour trail.

Fire Hazards
Explosion Hazards
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble or absorb
with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-
proof equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows.
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous
earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material
may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and section
13 for waste disposal.
Section 6. Accidental release measures
Small spill and leak
Large spill and leak
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited
in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating,
drinking and smoking. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use
only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter storage
areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative
made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open
flame or any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling)
equipment. Use non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. To avoid fire or
explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before

Do not store above the following temperature: 42°C (107.6°F). Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a
segregated and approved area. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and drink. Eliminate all ignition sources.
Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have
been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers.
Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
transferring material. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Storage See Section #10 for applicable incompatible materials.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to
keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls
also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation
equipment.
Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment
indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards
of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts.
Recommended: splash goggles
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks
involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when
handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
