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 can cause reddening, swelling and damage to the skin. The use of chemical resistant gloves is 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
Swallowing: Moderately toxic. May cause headache, dizziness, incoordination,  nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and general weakness. Ingestion may cause red blood  cell hemolysis and possible liver and kidney injury.
Eye Contact: Causes irritation and possible corneal injury
Other Health Information Repeated overexposure may cause hemolysis of the red blood cells leading to possible liver and kidney damage. Because of its irritating and defatting properties, this material may exacerbate an existing dermititis.

CARCINOGENCITY:The components in this product are not considered to be a carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program, the International Agency for Research on Cancer or the Occupation Safety and Health Administration.
