SECTION 3. Hazards Identification |
| Emergency Overview | |
| KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. | |
| Route(s) of Entry: | Inhalation? Yes , Skin? Yes , Eyes? Yes , Ingestion? Yes |
| Potential Health Effects (Acute and Chronic) | |
| None known | |
| LD 50 / LC 50 | |
| See notes, Section IX | |
| Signs and Symptoms Of Exposure | |
| May produce skin sensations (feelings of numbing and tingling) in certain individuals. Moderate eye irritant (tearing and blurred vision). May cause drying and irritation of skin. These sensations normally subside and disappear within a few hours. If ingested, the product may cause diarrhea, salivation, bloody nose, increased urination, decreased activity, tremors and intermittent convulsions. Excessive inhalation causes coughing, headache, dizziness, nausea, as well as nose, throat, and respiratory tract irritation. | |

| None known | |
SECTION 4. First Aid Measures |
| Emergency and First Aid Procedures | |
| IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a poison control center or
doctor. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control
center or doctor. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. IF IN EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. IF ON SKIN OR CLOTHING: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. | |
| Note to Physician | |
| Contains petroleum distillate — vomiting may cause aspiration pneumonia. |
SECTION 5. Fire Fighting Measures |
| Flash Pt: | 130.00 F Method Used: Unknown |
| Explosive Limits: | LEL: No data. UEL: No data. |
| Autoignition Pt: | N.A. |
| Fire Fighting Instructions | |
| Fight fire from upwind. As in any fire, wear self-contained
breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent and
full protective gear. Do not use water. Handle as an oil fire, class B
fire procedures. Remove unignited product from fire area if possible. Dike
fire control waters to prevent their entry into sewers or other water
courses. | |
| Flammable Properties and Hazards | |
| Combustible Liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open
flame. Guard against spontaneous combustion or improperly discarded oily
rags. Overheated containers are an explosion hazard. Vapors which form
inside empty containers may also present an explosion hazard during a
fire. Equipment used to fight pesticide fires may require decontamination
before reuse. | |
| Extinguishing Media | |
| Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or halogenated
agents. | |
| Unsuitable Extinguishing Media | |
| No data available. | |
SECTION 6. Accidental Release
Measures |
| Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled | |
| Small Spills: Absorb with inert absorbent. Wash contaminated
area with detergent and water solution. Discard in trash. Large Spills (Bulk product only): Wear OSHA approved clean protective clothing, rubber gloves, and goggles. If vapor concentration becomes high, use self contained air mask (NIOSH approved). No smoking. Eliminate any source of ignition. Minimize inhalation. Recover free liquid by adding absorbent (earth, sawdust, kitty litter, etc.) to spill area. Shovel waste into a metal drum. Avoid contact with skin. Keep product out of sewers and water courses by diking or impounding. Advise authorities if product has entered or may enter sewers, watercourses or extensive land areas. CAUTION: SLIPPERY ON FLOOR. Following clean up of spilled liquid, wash contaminated area with detergent and water solution. Collect wash water in containers for disposal. |
SECTION 7. Handling and Storage |
| Precautions To Be Taken in Handling | |
| No data available. | |
| Precautions To Be Taken in Storing | |
| COMBUSTIBLE. DO NOT USE OR STORE NEAR HEAT OR OPEN FLAMES | |
| Other Precautions | |
| Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Causes
moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear
goggles, face shield or safety glasses. Wash thoroughly with soap and
water after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before
reuse. |
SECTION 8. Exposure Controls/Personal
Protection |
| Respiratory Equipment (Specify Type) | |
| For fires, use self-contained breathing apparatus only. For moderate vapor or liquid mist exposure, use half mask or full face piece respirators which have NIOSH/MSHA approval for pesticides. | |
| Eye Protection | |
| Where potential for splashing exists, or contact with spray
or mist is likely, protective goggles and face shield should be worn. A
source of clean water for flushing should be nearby (i.e., emergency eye
wash and shower stations). | |
| Protective Gloves | |
| Neoprene gloves for extended exposure, as in manufacturing
or other large quantity work. | |
| Other Protective Clothing | |
| Long sleeved coveralls or uniform, cap, rubber boots, rubber
or plastic apron may be needed during formulation, packaging, or other
handling of large amounts or product. | |
| Engineering Controls (Ventilation etc.) | |
| Local exhaust should be sufficient. If user operations generate fumes or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. | |
| Work/Hygienic/Maintenance Practices | |
| Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse. |
