Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Proteclive Equipment: Polyethylene-coated
apron and gloves and close-fitting goggles; Symptoms Following Exposure: The liquid irritates eyes
about as much as soap. Prolonged contact with skin produces irritation and dermatitis; General
Treatment for Exposure: SKIN: wash throughly with soap and water and treat as a chemical burn.
EYES: irrigate with clear water for 15 min. and get medical attention; Toxicity by Inhalation
(Threshold Limit Value): 25 ppm; Short-Tern Inhalation Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by
Ingestion: Grade 2, LD,00.5 to 5 glkg (rat); Late Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor (Gas) Irritant
Characteristics: Vapor is moderately irritating such that personnel will not usually tolerate moderate
or high vapor concentrations; Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: Causes smarting of the skin and
first-degree burns on short exposure; may cause secondary burns on long exposure. In eyes the
irritation is similar to that caused by ordinary soap; Odor Zhreshold Data not available.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point (deg. F): 183 OC; Flammable Limits in Air (%): No data; Fire
