Adverse health effects would not be expected under recommended conditions of use (diluted) so long as prescribed safety precautions are practiced. ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Inhalation of vapor can produce central nervous system depression, characterized by dizziness, headache, nausea, cardiac and/or respiratory depression, and stu- por. In extreme cases, unconciousness or death could result in poorly ventilated or confined spaces. Exposure to high concentrations of vapor can be irritating to mucous membranes, such as eyes and upper respiratory tract. Severe eye exposure to liquid can cause reversible eye damage. Skin contact may cause a burning sensation and reddening of the skin. Introduction of solvent to the lungs, as in aspiration of vomitus fluids, may cause chemical pneumonia. Ex- posure to this product may aggravate existing respiratory or cardiac conditions. Inhalation of aerosol mist may produce chemical pneumonia. CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact by inhalation or skin absorption may produce liver or kidney damage or damage to the central nervous system, characterized by ting- ling or numbness in the extremities, blurred vision or confusion. Skin, which is defatted by repeated exposure to solvents, is more susceptible to irritation, infection, and dermatitis.

The results were observed when trichloroethylene was given orally to mice, but were not observed in rats or hamsters. Human relevance is questionable since the metabolic mechanism in mice does not apply in humans.

Large spills are unlikely due to packaging. Spill may be absorbed on an inert absorb- ent material (eg Zep-O-Zorb), and placed in a suitable container for disposal. Wash area thoroughly with a detergent solution and rinse well with water. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Product is consumed in use. Do not crush, puncture or incinerate spent contain- ers. Large numbers of aerosol containers may require handling as a hazardous waste, but in most states total hazardous waste quantities less than 220 lbs per month may allow disposal in a chemical or industrial waste landfill. Consult local, state and federal agencies for the proper disposal method in your area. RCRA HAZ. WASTE NOS.: N/A-Dispose of according to state/local guidelines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION IX - S P E C I A L P R E C A U T I O N S PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING AND STORING: Do not store at temperatures above 120F (39C) or in direct sunlight. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Do not breathe spray mists or vapors. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Keep product out of eyes. Vapors are heavier than air and will accumulate at low points. Ventilation should include floor level exhausting. Keep out of the reach of children. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION X - R E G U L A T O R Y I N F O R M A T I O N DOT PROPER SHIP NAME: CONSUMER COMMODITY, NOTE: DOT information applies to larger package sizes of affected products.

Zep Manufacturing Co. is pleased to be of service to you by supplying this Material Safety Data Sheet for your files. Zep Manufacturing is concerned for your health and safety. Zep products can be used safely with proper protective equipment and proper handling practices consistent with label instructions and the MSDS. Before using any Zep product, be sure to read the complete label and the Material Safety Data Sheet. As a further word of caution, Zep wishes to advise that serious accidents have resulted from the misuse of "emptied" containers. "Empty" containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose such containers to heat, flame, or other sources of ignition; they may explode or develop harmful vapors and pos- sibly cause injury or death. Clean empty containers by triple rinsing with water or an appropriate solvent. Empty containers must be sent to a drum reconditioner before reuse.

SECTION III: HEALTH HAZARD DATA ACUTE EFFECT: An adverse effect on the human body from a single exposure with symptoms developing almost immediately after exposure or within a relatively short time. CHRONIC EFFECT: Adverse effects that are most likely to occur from repeated exposure over a long period of time. EST D PEL/TLV: This estimated, time-weighted average, exposure limit, developed by using a formula provided by the ACGIH, pertains to airborne concentrations from the product as a whole. This value should serve as guide for providing safe workplace conditions to nearly all workers. HMIS CODES: Hazardous Material Identification System - a rating system developed by the National Paint and Coating Association for estimating the hazard potential of a chemical under normal workplace conditions. These risk estimates are indicated by a numerical rating given in each of three hazard areas (Health/Flammability/Reactivity) ranging from a low of zero to a high of 4. The presence of a chronic hazard is indicated with a yes. Consult HMIS training guides for Personal Protection letter codes which indicate necessary protective equipment. PRIMARY ROUTE OF ENTRY: The way one or more hazardous ingredients may enter the body and cause a generalized-systemic or specific-organ toxic effect. ING: Ingestion - A primary route of exposure through swallowing of material INH: Inhalation - A primary route of exposure through breathing of vapors. SKIN: A primary route of exposure through contact with the skin.
