Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal distress. Vapors can cause respiratory tract and eye irritation. Very high concentrations can cause cardiopulmonary damage. Repeated skin contact can cause skin disorders. Keep away from heat and flames. Keep container closed. Avoid breathing vapors. Use only in well ventilated areas. Avoid excessive and prolonged skin contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. If ingested, do not induce vomiting; seek immediate medical attention. If inhaled, remove to fresh air; if not breathing give artificial respiration. On skin, flush with plenty of water.
Acute Health Effects: From MSDS
Emergency and Hazards Overview
DANGER: Contains Petroleum Solvents. Flammable liquid and vapor. Can be harmful or fatal if swallowed or inhaled in very high concentrations. Can cause nervous system disorders. Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal distress. Vapors can cause respiratory tract & eye irritation. Very high concentrations can cause cardiopulmonary damage.
ATTENTION: Repeated skin contact can cause skin disorders.

Primary Route of Exposure: Skin
Health Effect Information
EYE CONTACT: Avoid eye contact. This product may be slightly irritating to the eyes upon direct contact. Based on testing of similar products and/or components. Exposure to high concentrations of vapors may be irritating to the eyes.
SKIN CONTACT: Avoid skin contact. This product may cause slight skin irritation upon direct contact. Based on testing of similar products and/or components. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in contact dermatitis which is characterized by dryness, chapping, and reddening. Pre-existing skin
conditions may make the skin more susceptible and facilitate uptake by this route. May be absorbed through skin.
INHALATION: Avoid prolonged inhalation of vapors. This product may be considered a low health hazard unless inhaled in very high concentrations. Acute and chronic exposure to vapors may be irritating to the respiratory tract. Severe intoxication may lead to drowsiness, dullness, numbness, and
headache followed by dizziness, weakness, and nausea. Exposure to even higher concentrations may lead to loss of consciousness and convulsions followed by death. At extremely high concentrations where oxygen displacement is a factor, asphyxiation may occur.
INGESTION: Do not ingest. Ingestion of small quantities is usually nonfatal unless aspiration occurs. Aspiration may lead to chemical pneumonitis which is characterized by pulmonary edema and hemorrhage and may be fatal. Signs of lung involvement include increased respiratory rate, increased heart rate, and a bluish discoloration of the skin. Coughing, choking, and gagging are
often noted at the time of aspiration. Gastrointestinal discomfort may develop, followed by vomiting with a further risk of aspiration. Severe oral intoxication will lead to intense burning of the throat and may result in drowsiness, dullness, numbness, and headache followed by dizziness, weakness, and nausea. Loss of consciousness and convulsions followed by death may result.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: This condition may make the skin more susceptible to other irritants, sensitizers, and disease.
Chronic Health Effects: From MSDS
CHRONIC
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may result in contact dermatitis which is characterized by dryness, chapping, and reddening. Pre-existing skin
conditions may make the skin more susceptible and facilitate uptake by this route. May be absorbed through skin.
Chronic exposure to vapors may be irritating to the respiratory tract.
