Section 3: Hazards Identification

Potential Acute Health Effects:

Extremely hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Very hazardous

in case of skin contact (corrosive, permeator). Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous

membranes of eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce

severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath. Severe over-exposure can

result in death. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized

by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.

Potential Chronic Health Effects:

Extremely hazardous in case of inhalation. Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant). Hazardous

in case of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, permeator). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not

available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY:

Not available. The substance is toxic to kidneys, lungs, the nervous system, mucous membranes, digestive system, upper

respiratory tract. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or

prolonged contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged

exposure to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection. Repeated

exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human

organs. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of vapors may lead to chronic respiratory irritation.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.

Skin Contact:

If the chemical got onto the clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible, protecting

your own hands and body. Place the victim under a deluge shower. If the chemical got on the victim's exposed skin, such

as the hands : Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly

careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing

before reusing.

Serious Skin Contact:

Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical

attention.

Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.

Serious Inhalation:

Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If

breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. WARNING: It may

be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or

corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that

the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,

tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.

Serious Ingestion: Not available.

Corrosive liquid. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY earth, sand or other non-combustible material. Do not get water

inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray curtain to divert vapor drift. Prevent entry into sewers,

basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. Be careful that the product is not present at a

concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Precautions:

Keep locked up Keep container dry. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from direct sunlight

or strong incandescent light. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapour/spray. Never add water to this product Avoid

shock and friction. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice

immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes Keep away from incompatibles such as

reducing agents, combustible materials, organic materials, metals, acids, alkalis, moisture.

Storage:
