3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
HMIS:
Physical state: Aerosol HEALTH: 3*
Color: Grey to Off-white FLAMMABILITY: 4
Odor: Sharp, Solvent PHYSICAL HAZARD: 1
Personal Protection: See Section 8
DANGER: CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE.
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR
MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL IF INHALED, ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN OR
SWALLOWED.
MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
POSSIBLE CANCER HAZARD.
Relevant routes of exposure: Inhalation, Skin, Eyes, Ingestion
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapor or aerosol may cause severe irritation to nose, throat and lungs.
Skin contact: May cause irritation due to defatting of the skin. Prolonged or repeated contact has caused severe
dermatitis including blisters, cracking, edema and redness.
Eye contact: Liquid or vapor can cause moderate to severe irritation.
Ingestion: May be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Aspirated material can enter the lungs and result in pneumonitis.
Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Existing conditions aggravated by Skin disorders. Respiratory disorders. Heart disease. Liver disease. Kidney disease. Anemia.
exposure: Arrhythmia.
See Section 11 for additional toxicological information.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapours. If symptoms develop and persist, get
medical attention.
Skin contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water (using soap, if available). Get medical attention if symptoms
occur.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Keep individual calm. Obtain medical attention.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammable/Explosive limits-lower %: 1.5 % (value for propellant).
Flammable/Explosive limits-upper %: 9.5 % (value for propellant).
Extinguishing media: Foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Type BC extinguisher. Do not use water.
Special fire fighting procedures: Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and
full protective clothing, such as turn-out gear.
Unusual fire or explosion hazards: Contents under pressure. Exposure to temperatures above 49ºC (120°F) may cause container to burst.
Hazardous combustion products: Oxides of carbon. Chlorine. Hydrochloric acid. Phosgene.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains or open waters. Assure conformity with applicable government
regulations.
Clean-up methods: Ventilate area. Soak up with inert absorbent. Store in a closed container until ready for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not breathe mist or vapors. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Keep out of the reach of children.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Store away from ignition sources. Do not puncture, incinerate,
or expose to temperatures above 48.9 °C (120 °F).
Incompatible products: Refer to Section 10.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation if the potential for airborne exposure exists.
Respiratory protection: Use a NIOSH approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge if the potential to exceed
established exposure limits exists.
Skin protection: Chemical resistant, impermeable gloves. Viton gloves. Polyvinyl alcohol gloves. Silver Shield gloves.
Polyethylene gloves. 4H gloves. EVAL-Laminate gloves.

Ecological information: No specific studies have been conducted by Henkel on the ecotoxicity or environmental fate of this
material; however, commonly available data on the material indicate that uncontrolled releases to soil,
groundwater, or surface waters could entail acute and/or chronic ecological effects, depending on the
quantity and concentration of such releases. Releases of volatile components to the atmosphere are
not believed to entail significant ecological consequences provided such releases are within the
exposure levels set forth in this document. Accordingly, all appropriate measures should be taken to
avoid uncontrolled releases to the environment, and any spills or other uncontrolled releases which
may occur should be contained and cleaned up immediately in accordance with Section 6.
