Overview
Possible cancer hazard. Contains an ingredient which may cause cancer based on animal
data (See Section 3 and Section 15 for each ingredient). Risk of cancer depends on
duration and level of exposure.
Exposure to solvent vapor concentrations from the component solvents in excess of the
stated occupational exposure limits may result in adverse health effects such as mucous
membrane and respiratory system irritation and adverse effects on the kidneys, liver and
central nervous system. Symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, muscular
weakness, drowsiness and in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
Repeated or prolonged contact with the preparation may cause removal of natural fat from
the skin resulting in dryness, irritation and possible non-allergic contact dermatitis. Solvents
may also be absorbed through the skin. Splashes of liquid in the eyes may cause irritation
and soreness with possible reversible damage. See section 2 for further details.
Inhalation
May cause allergy or asthma symptoms of breathing difficulties if inhaled.
Eyes

5.1. Extinguishing media
Recommended extinguishing media; alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powder, water spray.
Do not use: water jet.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous decomposition: High temperatures and fires may produce such toxic substances as carbon monoxide and
carbon dioxide.
Avoid breathing dust / fume / gas / mist / vapors / spray.
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
5.3. Advice for fire-fighters
Respiratory equipment should be worn to avoid inhalation of concentrated vapors. Water should not be used except
as fog to keep nearby containers cool. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.
Protective equipment for fire-fighters.
Due to pressure build-up, closed containers exposed to extreme heat may explode. During emergency conditions,
over-exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent.
Obtain medical attention.
