2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Acute Effects
Inhalation: Material is not likely to present an inhalation hazard at ambient conditions. However, if
material is heated or high vapor concentration is attained, central nervous system depression
may occur, which is characterized by drowsiness, dizziness, confusion or loss of
coordination.
Skin: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause defatting and drying of skin which may result in
skin irritation and dermatitis.

The above listed potential effects of overexposure are based on actual data, results of studies performed upon similar compositions,
component data and/or expert review of the product. Please refer to Section 11 for the detailed toxicology information.
3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
None present. This is not a hazardous material as defined in the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.
Skin: Remove from skin and wash thoroughly with soap and water or waterless cleanser. Get
medical attention if irritation or other ill effects develop or persist.
Inhalation: Material is not likely to present an inhalation hazard at ambient conditions. If material is
heated or vapor is generated, care should be taken to prevent inhalation. In case of exposure
to vapor, move to fresh air.
Extinguishing Media: On large fires use dry chemical, foam or water spray. On small fires use carbon dioxide
(CO2), dry chemical or water spray. Water can be used to cool fire exposed containers.
Fire Fighting Measures: Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be worn in fighting large
fires involving chemicals. Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to
your local emergency plan. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool.

Containment/Clean up: Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8.
Wipe up or scrape up and contain for salvage or disposal. Clean area as appropriate since
spilled materials, even in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning may
require use of steam, solvents or detergents. Dispose of saturated absorbant or cleaning
materials appropriately, since spontaneous heating may occur. Local, state and federal laws
and regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material, as well as those materials
and items employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need to determine which federal,
state and local laws and regulations are applicable. Sections 13 and 15 of this MSDS provide
information regarding certain federal and state requirements.
Note: See section 8 for Personal Protective Equipment for Spills. Call (989) 496-5900, if additional information is
required.
Engineering Controls
Skin: Wash at mealtime and end of shift. Contaminated clothing and shoes should be removed as
soon as practical and thoroughly cleaned before reuse. Chemical protective gloves are
recommended.
Inhalation: Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or exposure
assessment demonstrates that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines. IH
personnel can assist in judging the adequacy of existing engineering controls.

Suitable Respirator: Respiratory protection is not needed under ambient conditions. If vapor is generated when
material is heated or handled, the following is advised. General and local exhaust ventilation
is recommended to maintain vapor exposures below recommended limits. Where
concentrations are above recommended limits or are unknown, appropriate respiratory
protection should be worn. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and use
NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators.
Skin: Wash at mealtime and end of shift. Contaminated clothing and shoes should be removed as
soon as practical and thoroughly cleaned before reuse. Chemical protective gloves are
recommended.
Inhalation/Suitable Respiratory protection recommended. Follow OSHA Respirator Regulations (29 CFR
Respirator: 1910.134) and use NIOSH/MHSA approved respirators. Protection provided by air purifying
respirators against exposure to any hazardous chemical is limited. Use a positive pressure air
supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are
unknown, or any other circumstance where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate
protection.
Note: These precautions are for room temperature handling. Use at elevated temperature or aerosol/spray applications may require
added precautions.
