Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child
The specific identity and/or exact percentage of composition has been withheld as a trade secret
Eye: Flush eyes with water, holding the eyelids apart. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Skin: Wash thoroughly with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If irritation occurs, get medical attention.
Ingestion: If large amounts ingested, seek medical attention.
Most Important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: None known.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Immediate medical attention
generally not required.
Suitable and Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray or fog, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.
Special Hazards Arising from the Chemical: This compound will not burn unless it is pre-heated. Water fog
may be used to cool the containers but do not spray directly into large containers of burning liquids as frothing
may occur. Dense smoke and noxious or toxic fumes may be generated in a fire. The thermal decomposition
products are highly dependent upon the combustion conditions. Noxious or toxic fumes may be generated, some
of which may be toxic or irritating.
Special Equipment and Precautions for Fire-Fighters: Wear NIOSH approved positive pressure,
self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Cool fire exposed containers with water.
Emergency Procedure:
Flammable/combustible material.
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area) Stay upwind: out of low
areas. Immediately turn off or isolate any source of ignition. Keep, unnecessary people away; isolate hazard
area and deny entry. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Clean up immediately. Use absorbent
sweeping compound to soak up material and put into suitable container for proper disposal.
Recommended Equipment:
Positive pressure, full-face piece self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), or positive pressure supplied air
respirator with escape SCBA (NIOSH approved).
Personal Precautions:

ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area.) Use explosion proof
equipment. Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with skin, eye or clothing. Do not touch damaged containers or
spilled materials unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment. Use caution: slip hazard.
Environmental Hazards:
Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other
unauthorized drainage systems and natural waterways by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Report
spills and releases as required to appropriate authorities.
Methods and Material for Containment and Cleaning Up: Because of its viscous nature, this product is not
expected to leak or spill. Collect liquid spill with an inert absorbent material and place into a suitable container for
disposal.
General:
For industrial and institutional use only.
For used by trained personnel only.
Keep away from children.
Wash hands after use.
Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.
Do not breathe vapors or mists.
Use good personal hygiene practices.
Eating, drinking and smoking in work areas is prohibited.
Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Eyewash stations and showers should be available in areas where this material is used and stored.
Ventilation Requirements:
Use only with adequate ventilation to control air contaminants to their exposure limits. The use of local ventilation
is recommended to control emissions near the source.
Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers. Do not pressurize containers to
empty them. Ground all structures, transfer containers and equipment to conform to the national electrical code.
Use procedures that prevent static electrical sparks. Static electricity may accumulate and create fire hazard.

Appropriate Engineering Controls: Use with adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure
levels below the exposure limits. If the product is used at high temperatures, local exhaust ventilation may be
required.
Skin Protection: Impervious gloves such as rubber or Nitrile recommended where needed to avoid prolonged
skin contact. Chemical resistant clothing is also recommended to avoid prolonged contact. Avoid unnecessary
skin contact.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles recommended where needed to avoid eye contact.
