Potential health effects

Acute and Chronic Inhalation Headaches, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, dizziness, drowsiness, and coughing at levels above 100 ppm. Exposure above 1000 ppm can cause adverse effects on visual perception and motor skills. Ventricular arrhythmia and very rapid respiration have been observed in individuals exposed to 15000 ppm. High concentrations or prolonged exposure can cause unconsciousness and even death. Ingestion Single dose toxicity is low to moderate. If vomiting occurs, Trichloroethylene could be aspirated into the lungs, which could cause chemical pneumonia and systemic effects. Eyes Liquid can cause temporary irritation with temporary corneal injury. Vapors can irritate eyes. Skin Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause irritation, defatting of skin, and dermatitis. Absorption of liquid through intact skin possible, resulting in systemic effects. Direct contact with spray can cause frostbite. Chronic The finding of chronic toxic effects in lab animals may indicate toxicity to humans. Over- exposure should be avoided. Failure to do so could result in injury, illness, or even death. Chronic overexposures to trichloroethylene have caused liver toxic effects in experimental animals. Exposure can cause an intolerance to ethyl alcohol.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Alcoholism, acute and chronic liver disease, rhythm disorders of the heart, neuritis, and other disorders of the nervous system. EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES Eye Contact Flush eyes immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician. Skin Contact Promptly flush area with water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. If direct spray, treat for frostbite. Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. **Get Medical Help at once** Ingestion Single dose toxicity is low to moderate. If vomiting occurs, trichloroethylene could be aspirated into the lungs, which could cause chemical pneumonia and systemic effects. **Note to Medical Personnel** Because of increased risk of disturbances of cardiac rhythm (eliciting cardiac disrhythmias), Catecholamine drugs (Epinephrine, Adrenaline) should be used only with special caution and only in situations of emergency life support and only as a last resort.

Appearance/Odor

Information Clear mist with the odor of chlorinated solvent ( a mildly sweet odor) as dispensed from the spray system. Section 5 - Physical Data Flash Point (Method Used)..................... None (TCC) Flammable Limits LEL= 8% UEL=10.5% Flammability limits are based on the min/max LEL/UEL of the components. Autoignition temperature ........................ 788° F Extinguishing Media Water, foam, dry chemical, and carbon dioxide -- because product is essentially non-flammable, media to control fire in surrounding materials is important. Special Fire Fighting Procedures At elevated temperatures, pressurized containers may burst, vent, or rupture. Use equipment or shielding to protect personnel against bursting, rupturing, or venting containers. Cooling with water streams may be helpful. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Concentrated vapors can be ignited by high intensity ignition source. Firefighters should wear self- contained, positive-pressure breathing apparatus, due to thermal decomposition products, and should avoid skin contact. Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid) Strong alkalies, oxidizers, and reactive metals (i.e. potassium, sodium, zinc, magnesium). Hazardous Decomposition Products Hydrogen chloride, phosgene, chlorine, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and possibly incompletely burned hydrocarbon products would be expected. Will Hazardous Polymerization Occur? No Conditions to Avoid for Polymerization N/A Is the Product Stable? Yes Conditions to Avoid for Stability Avoid contact with open flame, electric arcs, or other hot surfaces that can cause thermal decomposition. Avoid temperatures high enough to rupture container (>120° F). Section 6 - Spill or Leak Procedures
