SECTION V HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION |      TLV 5 ppm

Effect of Overexposure:     excessive high temperature may produce irritating vapor. during normal processing

a small amount of vapor will be evolved; respiratory problems may occur without adequate ventilation.

First aid:

Eye Contact:     flush with water for 15 minutes.

Skin Contact:     wash skin with soap and water.

Inhalation:          if excessive fumes, remove to fresh air.

Ingestion:           consult physician.

V.O.C. EMISSIONS: 0.32 lbs per gallon or 40 grams per liter (maximum);      0.32 lbs per gallon or 40 grams per liter (maximum) less water and less exempt compounds.

Primary routes of entry into the body:     Skin absorption and inhalation of fumes during heat processing.
