HEALTH HAZARD - Carcinogen Information: Contains Naphthalene ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE - Swallowing: Oral LD50(rats) = 2250 mg/kg (similar product). Swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling is not likely to cause injury. Large amounts may cause central nervous system effects. Aspiration into lungs may occur during ingestion or vomiting. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Inhalation: Prolonged excessive exposure may cause adverse effects. May cause central nervous system effects. Skin contact: Brief contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. May cause drying or flaking of the skin. Eye Contact: May cause moderate eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Chronic Effects: Skin contact may aggravate pre-existing dermatitis. Other Hazard: None currently known for this formulation. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES - Swallowing: Call a poison control center or physician immediately. Sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician or poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes while washing affected area with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If not breathing, administer artificial respiration. Call a physician immediately. Eyes: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. If effects occur, consult a
PH: 901-761-0050 Page 3 Of 5 physician. Notes to Physician: If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the stomach. The physician should decide whether to induce vomiting. Treatment of exposure should be directed at control of the symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. VI. REACTIVITY Stability: Stable Conditions to Avoid: None currently known. Polymerization: Will Not Occur Conditions to Avoid: None currently known. Incompatibility material: Oxidizing agents. Hazardous Combustion: Carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide and various chlorinated and fluorinated organic compounds. VII. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES Spill or Leak Proc: Absorb small spills with inert absorbent, such as sand, sawdust or dirt. Collect and store in chemical waste container for proper disposal. Prevent contamination of lakes, streams, ponds, ditches or other waterways. USEPA Hazardous Waste #U165 (naphthalene). Waste Disposal Method: This material must be disposed of according to Federal, State or Local procedures under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Respiration: Use NIOSH-approved air-purifying respirator if TLV is exceeded. Ventilation: General and/or local exhaust should be sufficient. Gloves: Chemical-resistant gloves Eyes: Chemical goggles Other: Eyewash station, emergency shower, impervious apron and footwear.
