1. COMPOSITION/INGREDIENT DESCRIPTION

2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: CORROSIVE TO EYES. MAY CAUSE SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
Physical Appearance and Odor: Slightly brown viscous liquid, acrid odor

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
Acute Eye: Corrosive. Can cause permanent damage to the cornea.
Acute Skin: Low acute dermal toxicity. Can cause redness, inflammation and irritation on prolonged contact.
Acute Inhalation: Vapors can cause respiratory tract irritation.
Acute Ingestion: Harmful if ingested. May cause irritation, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal cramps.
Chronic Effects: None known.

3. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for al least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention, preferably with an ophthalmologist. If a physician is not immediately available, eye irrigation should be continued for an additional 15 minutes. If it is necessary to transport the patient to a physician and the eye needs to be bandaged, use a dry sterile cloth pad and cover both eyes.
Skin Exposure: Immediately wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 5 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and clean before re-use.
Inhalation: If respiratory irritation or distress occurs, remove victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation or distress continues.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-3 glasses of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Material may enter lungs and cause severe damage. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. To prevent aspiration of swallowed material, lay victim on side with head lower than waist. Persons attending victim should avoid direct contact with heavily contaminated clothing and vomitus. Wear impervious gloves while decontaminating skin and hair. Seek medical attention. Do not leave victim unattended.
Medical Conditions Possibly Aggravated by Exposure: Skin contact may aggravate existing skin diseases.
Notes to Physician: All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient. Consideration should be give to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may have occurred. Treat symptomatically. No specific antidote available.
