SECTION 2: Hazards identification

NFPA Rating Effects of Overexposure Acute: Eye Contact Avoid eye contact. This product may be slightly irritating to the eyes upon direct contact. Based on testing of similar products and/or components, exposure to high concentrations of vapors may be irritating to the eyes. Skin Contact Avoid skin contact. This product may cause slight skin irritation upon direct contact. Based on testing of similar products and/or components. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in contact dermatitis, which is characterized by dryness, chapping, and reddening. This condition may make the skin more susceptible to other irritants, sensitizers, and disease. Pre-existing skin conditions may make the skin more susceptible and facilitate uptake by this route. May be absorbed through skin. Inhalation Avoid prolonged inhalation of vapors. This product may be considered a low health hazard unless inhaled in very high concentrations. Acute and chronic exposure to vapors may be irritating to the respiratory tract. Severe intoxication may lead to drowsiness, dullness, numbness, and headache followed by dizziness, weakness, and nausea. Exposure to even higher concentrations may lead to loss of consciousness ad convulsions followed by death at extremely high concentrations where oxygen displacement is a factor, asphyxiation may occur. Ingestion Do not ingest. Ingestion of small quantities is usually non-fatal unless aspiration occurs. Do not induce vomiting due to aspiration hazard unless directed to do so by a physician. Aspiration may lead to chemical pneumonitis, which is characterized by pulmonary edema and hemorrhage and may be fatal. Signs if lung involvement includes increased respiratory rate, increased heart rate, and a blush discoloration of the skin. Coughing choking and gagging are often noted at the time of aspiration. Gastrointestinal discomfort may develop, followed by vomiting with a further risk of aspiration. Severe oral intoxication will lead to intense burning of the throat and may result in drowsiness, weakness and nausea. Loss of consciousness and convulsions followed by death may result. Health Data: Chronic No information available.
