Unlisted ingredients are not 'hazardous' per the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard
Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and/or are not found on the Canadian Workplace Hazardous
Materials Information System ingredient disclosure list. See Section 8 for exposure limit guidelines.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES: Use an eye wash to remove a chemical from your eye regardless of the level of hazard. Flush the
affected eye for at least twenty minutes. Tilt the head to prevent chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated
eye. Seek medical advice after flushing.
IF ON SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
IF VAPORS INHALED: Remove to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms persist.
IF SWALLOWED: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop. Provide medical care
provider with this MSDS. Induced vomiting may lead to aspiration of the material into the lungs potentially causing
chemical pneumonitis that may be fatal.
