See Toxicological Information (Section11)

Potential environmental effects

See Ecological Information (Section 12)

Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected

Eye(s) Contact: Flush eyes immediately with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Skin Contact: Wash with water until soapiness is removed.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and rest until symptoms resolve. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

Section 11: Toxicological Information

Results of component toxicity test performed: ND

Human experience: ND

This product does or does not contain any compounds listed by NTP or IARC or regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.

Section 12: Ecological Information

Ecological Information: This product contains 10-20 of white spirit which is highly volatile and will rapidly evaporate to the air if released into the environment. Based upon data for similar materials, white spirit is classified as R51/53, toxic to aquatic organisms; may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Although data show that white spirit is not expected to persist in the aquatic environment, European Classification rules require that it be classified as potential hazard causing long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

Chemical Fate Information: White spirit is expected to biodegrade rapidly and be “readily” biodegradable according to OECD guidelines. It can degrade rapidly in air and is expected to be removed in a waste water treatment facility.
