Potential health effects

EYE: May cause moderate eye irritation and/or corneal injury. Vapors may irritate the eyes. SKIN: A test in guinea pigs indicated that this product may have weak skin sensitization potential. However, experience in the manufacture and use of this product has not provided evidence for skin sensitizing properties. The product did not sensitize human subjects when tasted at an end-use dilution. A single prolonged exposure, is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is moderate. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause lung damage or death due to chemical pneumonia. INHALATION: Excessive exposure may produce organophosphate-type cholinesterase inhibition. Excessive vapor concentrations are attainable and could be hazardous on single exposure. Excessive exposure to solvent may cause respiratory irritation and central nervous system depression. Signs and symptoms of central nervous system depression are in order of increasing exposure, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and incoordination. POTENTIAL PHYSICAL HAZARDS: Combustible. Do not use or store near heat or open flame.
