SECTION V-Health Hazard and First Aid

Time Weighted Average (TWA):    400 ppm

Carcinogen:                                No

Acute Chronic Health Effects:        Excessive exposure may cause loss of coordination, asphyxiation. Contact with liquid may cause eye                                      or skin frostbite.

Primary Routes of Entry:              X Inhalation                   X Skin              X Ingestion

Effects of Overexposure:               Eyes- May cause irritation, with tearing, pain or blurred vision.

Skin- May cause slight irritation with itching, redness or swelling. Repeated exposure and/or prolonged exposure may cause redness or rash.

                                                Inhalation- May cause irregular heartbeat, dizziness, and loss of consciousness, suffocation, and death .                                            Ingestion- May cause aspiration which may result in chemial pneumonia.

First Aid:

                                                Eyes- Immediately flush eyes with water for 15 min. Call a physician.

                                                Skin- Flush skin with water after contact.  Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
