Inhalation YesSkin Yes Ingestion Yes
Eyes Irritation may occur with prolonged exposure to concentrated vapors. Liquid is a contact irritant. May cause corneal inflammation. Moderate hazard under ordinary usage.
Skin Repeated or prolonged contact can cause reddening of the skin, scaling, and dermatitis. Low hazard under ordinary usage.
Inhalation This material is a negligible hazard due to its low volatility. If vapor is present in high concentrations, irritation to upper respiratory tract may occur.
Ingestion Low order of toxicity. No hazard by this route in normal use.
Eyes Flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical aid.
Skin Flush affected area and wash with mild soap and water.
Inhalation Remove to fresh air.
Ingestion Do not give liquids if victim is unconscious or very drowsy. Otherwise, give no more than two glasses of water and induce vomiting. Get medical attention.

Under ordinary conditions of use for its intended purpose, no respiratory protection is required.
Under ordinary conditions of use for its intended purpose, no special ventilation is required.
Wear if doing prolonged cleaning by hand.
Wear if needed to prevent reasonable probability of eye contact.
Observe standard good work practices regarding ingestion, eye contact, and inhalation. Wash after using if there is reasonable probability of contact with the cleaner. Promptly remove any non-impervious clothing that becomes wet.
