Potential Health Effects, Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
Primary Route of Entry: Eyes, skin or inhalation
Eye:
Liquid or vapors irritate the eyes; symptoms include stinging, excess blinking and tear
production, excess redness and swelling. May cause temporary superficial injury of the cornea.
Pre-existing eye disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Skin:
Liquid irritates the skin. Prolonged contact can cause defatting and drying of the skin.No
evidence of harmful effects from skin absorption is available. Pre-existing skin disorders may
be aggravated by exposure.
Ingestion:
Inhalation:
Swallowing a large quantity may cause nausea and CNS depression.
Inhalation of vapors may cause irritation of the nose and throat. Inhalation of high vapor
concentrations may cause cetral nervous system (CNS) depression. Symptoms of CNS
depression include: giddiness, headache, drowsiness, dizziness and nausea. In extreme cases
unconsciousness and death may occur.
Chronic Exposure: Repeated skin contact may cause a dermatitis.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Flush with large amounts of running water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. If easy to
do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothing or shoes. Flush skin with water. Follow by washing with soap
and water. Seek medical advice if irritation develops.

respiration. Get medical attention.
Get medical attention immediately.
Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
This product contains ethyl acetate. Ingestion of large amounts of ethyl acetate requires gastric
lavage with 4% sodium bicarbonate.
DANGER! Extremely flammable. Clear area of unprotected personnel and isolate. Vapors are
denser than air, flashback along vapor trail may occur. Vapor may explode if ignited in
enclosed space. Product components will float and can be reignited on surface of water.
Use extinguishing media such as foam, dry chemical, or carbond dioxide. Water in straight
hose stream may scatter product and spread the fire. Cool containers exposed to heat with
water spray to prevent vapor pressure buildup leading to container rupture.
Approach fire from upwind side. Avoid breathing smoke, fumes, mist or vapors. Firefighters
wear protective clothing and self contained breathing apparatus.
Acrid smoke, irritating fumes, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and unidentified organic
compounds.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
DANGER!: Extremely flammable. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away. Isolate hazard
area. Eliminate all ignition sources. Handling equipment should be grounded to prevent sparks. Stay
upwind.
Large Spill: Wear appropriate respirator and protective clothing. Shut off souce of leak if safe to do so
Dike and contain. Water fog may be useful in suppressing vapor cloud. Keep spills and cleaning
runoff out of municipal sewers and open waterways. Collect free product with vacuum truck or pump
to storage container. Absorb residue with inert material then place wast in a chemical waste container
for disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace residue.
Small Spill: Absorb product with inert material then place waste in a chemical waste container for
disposal. Seaol waste container for proper disposal.
Keep liquid away from heat, sparks and flame. Static electricity may accumulate and create a
fire hazard. Ground fixed equipment. Bond and ground transfer containers and equipment.
Use with adequate ventilation. Prevent vapor accumulation. Keep containers closed when not
in use. Containers even emptied will retain product residue and can contain explosive vapors.
Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers.
Avoid breathing of mist or vapors. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated
contact with the skin. Do not swallow. Wash hands thoroughly after handling material and
before eating, drinking, smoking or using restroom facilities.
Section 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protective Equipment
Mechanical ventilation is recommended.
If exposire may or does exceed occupational exposure limits, use a NIOSH approved respirator.
Avoid contact with eyes; use chemical goggles to protect eyes if contact is likely. Wear
chemical resistant gloves and other clothing as required to minimize contact. Launder
contaminated clothing before reusing. Eye baths and safety showers should be available.
