Causes eye irritation. Causes eye pain, dizziness, CNS depression. Both ingredients can act as simple asphyxiants.
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as necessary.
Symptoms: asphyxia, restlessness, dizziness, drowsiness; may cause cardiac arrhythmia.
Wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water.
Rinse victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 10 to 15 minutes.
Symptoms: Causes irritation.
Rinse mouth and throat. Do not induce vomiting. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body.
Symptoms: nausea and general weakness.
Immediate Medical Attention
If symptoms persist, contact a physician. Immediately transport the victim to a hospital.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding conditions.
See above – Hazardous Combustion Products
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-demand, NIOSH approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Handle in accordance with good health and safety practices.
Prevent material from entering into waterways, soil or drains.
Dam up and soak up with inert absorbent material. Place in suitable containers for disposal. Return cylinder to authorized distributor.
Materials: inert absorbent material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Use appropriate PPE when handling or maintaining equipment. Handle only in well-ventilated areas. Wash thoroughly after handling (see Section 8).
Keep product in original container or extinguisher. Prevent falling. Do not allow near heat sources. Contents may be under pressure – inspect extinguisher consistent with product labeling to ensure container integrity.
Wash thoroughly after handling (see Section 8).
Do not allow near heat sources.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Showers, Eyewash stations, Ventilation systems
Wear protective gloves
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles.
Not normally necessary. If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH approved respiratory protection should be worn. Use air-purifying respirator (APR) with organic vapor canisters if exposure may exceed WEEL (50 ppm TWA). Positive-pressure supplied air respirators may be required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with current safety and health requirements. The need for respiratory protection is not likely for short-term use in well-ventilated areas.
