POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE SKIN EFFECTS: No adverse effects expected on intact skin. Contact on burns or open abrasions/wounds may
cause stinging pain or irritation.
ACUTE EYE EFFECTS: Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
ACUTE RESPIRATORY EFFECTS: Not expected to be a health hazard under normal conditions.
INGESTION EFFECTS: Large oral doses may cause irritation and blistering to the mouth, throat, and abdomen. May
also cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: Not known.
4 First Aid Measures
SKIN CONTACT: Not expected to require first aid measures. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical
advice if irritation develops.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids
occasionally. Get medical attention immediately, especially if irritation/burning persists.
INGESTION: Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts are swallowed, get medical advice.
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS: No special instructions

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: There are no special precautions for fire fighting. Not considered to be a fire hazard at
the 3% concentration.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Wear full protective clothing and
NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the
pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6 Accidental Release Measures
PROTECTION AND SPILL CONTAINMENT: Ventilate area. Wear personal protective equipment as specified in Section
8. Contain and recover large quantities of liquid. Do not use combustible
materials such as sawdust to absorb waste; use inert material such sand,
earth, vermiculite. Small amounts of liquid residue may be flushed to sewer
with plenty of water (unless restricted by local codes).
