SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Emergency overview CAUTION: HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. HARMFUL IF INHALED. Causes eye irritation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe vapours/mists. Wash thoroughly after handling. See Product Label for additional precautionary statements. State of matter: liquid Colour: beige Odour: characteristic
Principle Routes of Exposure
Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquified gases. Acute toxicity: Slightly toxic after single ingestion. Slightly toxic after short-term skin contact. Slightly toxic after short-term inhalation. Irritation / corrosion: May cause slight irritation to the skin. May cause moderate but temporary irritation to the eyes. Sensitization: Skin sensitizing effects were not observed in animal studies.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
overexposure Individuals with pre-existing diseases of the respiratory system, skin or eyes may have increased susceptibility to excessive exposures. Signs and symptoms of overexposure: CNS stimulation, tremors, convulsions All injection injuries must be treated as potential threats to the future viability of the hand, foot, or limb. Injection wounds containing dirt, leather, product or other infectious detritus should be considered dangerous to the viability of the hand, foot or limb. Surgical exploration and debridement may be required.
Environmental effects
Aquatic toxicity: Very toxic (acute effect) to aquatic organisms. Terrestrial toxicity: With high probability not acutely harmful to terrestrial organisms.
