SECTION III: FIRST AID MEASURES

Signs/Symptoms: Eye irritation, redness, tearing; Skin redness, irritation.

Eye contact: Flush immediately with clear water for at least 15 minutes or until any irritation subsides. If irritation persists, consult a

physician.

Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Wipe excess material from skin. Wash exposed area with soap and

water.

Inhalation: If irritation or drowsiness occur, move the person to fresh air. Administer respiratory assistance if breathing is difficult or

stops;

Consult a physician.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give plenty of water or other mild drinkable fluids and call a physician immediately.

SECTION IV: HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Exposure Limits:

See Section II, Product/Ingredient Information.

PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY:

[X] Eye Contact

[X] Skin Contact

[X] Skin Absorption

[X] Inhalation (Acute)

[X] Inhalation (Chronic)

[ ] Ingestion

EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE

Acute - (Evaluation based on components and/or similar products)

Eyes: Contact will cause eye irritation.

Skin: Contact will cause skin irritation.

Respiratory system:

Elevated temperatures or mechanical action may form vapors, mists or fumes which may be

irritating to nose, throat and upper respiratory tract. Propellant (propane) is a simple

asphyxiant. Vapors or mists in

excess of permissible concentrations may cause irritation of nose and throat, headache, nausea and drowsiness.

Ingestion: Harmful if inhaled. May cause headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness.

Chronic -

Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause skin drying, cracking, irritation,

defatting and dermatitus.

The product contains petroleum

baseoils which may be refined by various processes including severe solvent extraction, severe

hydrocracking, or severe hydrotreating. None of the oils require a cancer warning under the

OSHA Hazard Communication

Standard [29 CFR 1910.1200]. These oils have not been listed in the National Toxicology Program

(NTP) Annual Report nor have

they been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer

(IARC) as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), probably

carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A) or possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:

Pre-existing skin disorders; disorders of the heart and liver.

or accident.

Spill or Leak Procedures:

Use best engineering practices when attempting cleanup of a large spill.

Large spills - Wear respirator and protective clothing as appropriate. Remove sources of heat or ignition; Provide

adequate ventilation. Stop source of leak if possible. Prevent entry into water sources. Contain spill. Soak up residue with

an inert absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable materials; Store and dispose of properly. Where feasible and

appropriate, remove contaminated soil.
