| SECTION 3 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION | |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
ALKALINE DETERGENT. DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN OR CLOTHING. AVOID
BREATHING SPRAY OR MIST. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTION
EQUIPMENT.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYES:
PROLONGED CONTACT WITH EYES WILL CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION, POSSIBLY BURNS
AND PERMANENT DAMAGE.
SKIN:
CONTACT WITH SKIN CAN CAUSE MODERATE TO SEVERE IRRITATION WITH PAIN,
POSSIBLY PRODUCE CHEMICAL BURNS; IRRITATION MAY BE DELAYED.
INGESTION:
HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED - MAY CAUSE BURNS OF THE MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH IF
INGESTED.
INHALATION:
INHALATION OF GENERATED MISTS OR SPRAY MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION OR
CHEMICAL BURN OF MOUTH, THROAT, AND STOMACH.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE: NONE CURRENTLY KNOWN.
CARCINOGENICITY: NONE
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BE EXPOSURE: AN EXISTING DERMATITIS.
| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYES:
FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES AND CALL A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY. SPEED OF ACTION IS ESSENTIAL.
SKIN:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF SOAP AND WATER.
IF SKIN STILL FEELS SLIPPERY OR IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, CONTINUE WASHING.
CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IN THE CASE OF ANY PROLONGED IRRITATION
INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER OR
(PREFERABLY) MILK AND CALL A PHYSICIAN. SPEED OF ACTION IS ESSENTIAL.
INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. START ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF NECESSARY.
OXYGEN MAY BE ADMINISTERED. CALL A PHYSICIAN.
| SECTION 5 - FIREFIGHTING MEASURES | |
FLASH POINT: NONE TO BOILING DEG. F
AUTOIGNITION TEMP: N/A DEG. C / N/A DEG. F
HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION:
BURNING MAY PRODUCE OXIDES OF CARBON AND OTHER SUBSTANCES.
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR: N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
PRODUCT IS NON-COMBUSTIBLE. WATER SPRAY (FOG), DRY CHEMICAL; CO2; OR FOAM
MAY BE USED WHERE PRODUCT IS STORED.

CLOTHING.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
D.O.T. CLASSIFICATION: NOT REGULATED
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
SPECIFIC USE CONDITIONS (SPRAYING/CONFINED SPACES) WHERE REGULATORY LIMITS
FOR KOH ARE EXCEEDED, MAY REQUIRE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO PREVENT
RELEASE OF MIST &/OR VAPORS INTO WORK ENVIRONMENT. IF VENTILATION IN NOT
ADEQUATE, USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR WITH ALKALINE MIST/GAS
CARTRIDGE & FULL FACE PIECE.
EYE PROTECTION:
CLOSE FITTING SAFETY GLASSES/GOGGLES/FACE SHIELD DEPENDING UPON CONDITIONS
OF USE.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING APPROPRIATE TO MINIMIZE CONTACT
(IE: RUBBER BOOTS, APRON, FACESHIELD) ESPECIALLY WHERE SPRAYBACK/MISTING
CONDITIONS EXIST. RUBBER PROTECTIVE GLOVES.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
KOH TLV: 2 MG/M3. EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER IN HANDLING AREA.
SPECIFIC ENGINEERING CONTROLS (SUCH AS VENTILATION, ENCLOSED PROCESS):
INSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO CONTROL KOH AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION BELOW TLV
OF 2 MG/M3. EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER IN HANDLING AREA.
