OSHA hazardous ingredients are listed if present at 1.0% or greater. Non-Hazardous ingredients may be listed if present at 5.0% or greater. 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS EYES; Likely to cause immediate or delayed irritation. Irritation will show as redness and/or swelling of the eyes. SKIN; Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may produce irritation, dryness, or dermatitis INGESTION; Ingestion may cause irritation to the mouth, esophagus, and stomach. INHALATION; Inhalation of spray mist may cause irritation to the respiratory tract. ACUTE EFFECTS; Irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, digestive tract. Diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and / or nervous system depression. (Headaches, drowsiness, dizziness.) MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED; May aggravate pre-existing skin and respiratory disorders. COMMENTS; NOTICE - Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EYES; Flush with plenty of clear water. Seek medical attention. SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash skin with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. INGESTION: Wash mouth immediately. If conscious, give exposed individual 6 to 8 ounces of liquid. DO NOT induce vomiting unless advised by physician. Seek medical attention immediately. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flashpoint and Method; ~152 F TAG CC GENERAL HAZARD; This material can be ignited by heat, sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition (static electricity). Vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areas (sewers) or travel considerable distances to a source of ignition. If containers are not cooled in a fire, they may ignite and explode. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA; Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, halon, or foam is recommended. Water spray may be used to cool containers or structures. Halon may decompose into toxic materials and carbon dioxide will displace oxygen. Take proper precautions when using these materials. HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS; Thermal decomposition in the presence of air may yield, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and various hydrocarbons. FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES; Emergency responders in the danger area should wear bunker gear and self-contained breathing apparatus for fires beyond the incipient stage. Wear other protective gear as conditions warrant. Stop leaks, if it can be done with minimal risk. Water spray may be useful in dispersing vapors or cooling equipment and containers. Material will float on water. Avoid spreading fire with water. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SMALL SPILL; Absorb the liquid and scrub the area with detergent and water. LARGE SPILL; Avoid vapors and ignition sources. Use appropriate protective equipment. Stop and contain the discharge if it can be done safely. Keep out of drains and water ways. Handle only with trained personnel. Notify authorities as necessary. GENERAL PROCEDURES; Dispose of liquid and absorbents in accordance with local, state, and federal law. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL PROCEDURES; Use in accordance with good industrial workplace practices. Open containers slowly to relieve pressure. HANDLING; Avoid unnecessary contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. STORAGE; Store in a dry place away from excessive heat. Store containers tightly closed. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERSONAL PROTECTION EYES AND FACE; Standard safety glasses with splash shields are adequate protection. Where excessive splashing is possible, a face shield should be used. SKIN; Excessive contact should be avoided. Neoprene gloves and aprons will provide adequate protection when contact cannot be avoided. RESPIRATORY; Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Maintain airborne concentrations below the established exposure limits of ingredients in Section 2. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING; Chemical resistant aprons and boots are suggested when contact with material cannot be avoided. Remove and wash any contaminated clothing immediately. WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES; Wash thoroughly after handling. OTHER USE PRECAUTIONS; Eye wash stations and emergency showers should be available. COMMENTS; The BLASTER CHEMICAL COMPANIES takes no responsibility for determining what measures are required for personal protection in any specific application. The information provided should be used with discretion. 9.
