Section 3 Health Hazard Data

Routes Of Exposure: Exposure may be by INHALATION and/or
SKIN or EYE contact, depending on conditions
of use. To minimize exposure, follow
• Recommendations for proper use,
ventilation and personal protective equipment.
ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS
Inhalation: High concentrations are irritating to the eyes and Respiratory tract. May cause headache, dizziness, nausea
vomiting and malaise.
Skin Contact: Corrosive. Chemical and possible thermal burns. Prolonged
And widespread contact as with chemical saturated clothing
Causes reddening, swelling and damage to the skin. The use of
Chemical resistant gloves are recommended. Glove types are:
Rubber, Latex, Plastic. Do not use leather or wool.
Penetrates skin readily. Frequent or widespread contact may
Result in the absorption of potentially harmful amounts.
Signs and symptoms of toxicity are similar to those of swallowing.
