                                                           SECTION VI – HEALTH HAZARD DATA

_________________________________________________________________________________

 

INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTONS OF EXPOSURE:

Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects.  Breathing large amounts may be harmful.  Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing may include irritation of the nose, throat and airways, central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness and respiratory failure).

 

SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:

Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin.  Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying and cracking of skin, and skin burns and stinging, redness and tearing of the eyes.

 

SKIN ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:

A component of this material may be absorbe through the skin in potentially harmful amounts following prolonged exposure.

 

INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:

Irritation to the mouth, throat and stomach.  Not hazardous in normal industrial use.  May cause nausea, vomiting, pain and stomach upset (e.g. Diarrhea).

 

HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC):

Eyes:  Can cause severe irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision.  Skin:  Prolonged or repeated contact can cause irritation, defatting, dermititus.  Breathing: Inhalation can cause irritation, nausea, unconsciousness.  Swallowing:  will cause severe gastrointestinal irritation.  Aspiration can be fatal.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:         

Preexisting eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product.

 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

EYE CONTACT:  Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Rinse continuously with water while on way to get medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT:  Immediately remove contaminated clothing or shoes, wipe excess from skin and flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.  Use soap if readily available or follow by thorough washing with soap and water.  Do not reuse clothing until thoroughly decontaminated.  Get medical attention.

INHALATION:  Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult.  Give artificial respiration if not breathing.  Get medical attention.

INGESTION:  Do NOT induce vomiting.  Give one glass of water unless victim is drowsy, convulsing, or unconscious.  Seek medical attention immediately.

NOTE TO PHYSICIANS:  This material is an aspiration hazard.  Potential danger from aspiration must be weighed against possible oral toxicity when deciding to induce vomiting.

                                        SECTION VII – PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

_________________________________________________________________________________

 

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: 

Ventilate area.  Avoid breathing vapors.  Eliminate ignition sources.  Use self-contained breathing apparatus or air mask in confined area for large spills.  Contain spill.  Use absorbent clay or sawdust to absorb spill.  Place in a closed chemical waste container. If spill is greater than 1000 lbs. notify National Response Center 800-424-8802. 

 

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:

Dispose of rags soaked in the material in water.  Don’t reuse containers.

Dispose of used product and all contaminated materials in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. 

 

OTHER PRECAUTIONS:

Avoid inhalation of vapors and skin contact where possible.  Remove contaminated clothing and shoes at once.  Wash all exposed areas with soap.  Reports have associated prolonged exposure to solvents with brain and nervous system damage.  Intentional misuse by inhaling concentrated vapors may be fatal.  Target organs:  Eyes, Skin, Liver, Respiratory and Central Nervous Systems.  FIRE DANGER!  This product contains natural oils that can cause SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION in some materials if not disposed of properly.  DO NOT throw rags or items with the product on them in a trash container.  Place rags and other items with the product on them in a metal container filled with water, seal the container, and dispose of it in accordance with local, State and Federal regulations.

                                                           SECTION VIII – CONTROL MEASURES

_________________________________________________________________________________

 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:

Use a NIOSH/MSA approved respirator to remove overspray when spraying outdoors or in a well ventilated area.  In closed areas use a NIOSH/MSA approved respirator with a combination mechanical filter/chemical cartridge to remove overspray and organic vapors.

 

VENTILATION:

Provide sufficient ventilation to maintain exposure below recommended TLV at all times.

 

PROTECTIVE GLOVES:

Neoprene or other non-porous gloves are recommended.

 

EYE PROTECTION:

Eye wash should be available in work areas.

Safety glasses w/splash shields or chemical goggles is recommended.

 

OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT:

Neoprene or plastic apron and protective clothing covering exposed skin areas.

 

WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES:

Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.  Wash hands before eating, smoking or using the bathroom.
