PRODUCT NAME: MC 310 Biodegreaser

DESCRIPTION: Terpene based solvent

INGREDIENTS AND EXPOSURE LIMITS

PHYSICAL DATA

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

FLASH POINT: >200°F Setaflash FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not Applicable

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Not Applicable.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Cool with water spray. A self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires involving chemicals.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: If fire occurs, solvents may produce excessive pressure (in 5 gallon and larger containers) which can cause containers to rupture. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground. Solvent vapors can ignite; therefore, never use a cutting or welding torch on or near containers (even when empty).

REACTIVITY DATA

INCOMPATIBILITY: Strong acids, and bases oxidizing agents. STABILITY: Stable.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Thermal decomposition can yield CO, CO₂, and various hydrocarbons.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Exposure to excessive heat and open flame.

HEALTH HAZARD DATA

KNOWN HAZARDS: Irritation. Possible dermatitis. Chronic exposure to solvent vapors, including intentional abuse, can lead to loss of coordination, memory loss and target organ effects.

CARCINOGENICITY: No ingredients are classified by IARC, NTP, or OSHA as known or potential carcinogens.

PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Dermal. Inhalation.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Eye, skin, and respiratory conditions.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Eyes - Can cause severe irritation of the eyes. Skin - Can cause irritation, defatting and possible skin dermatitis. Inhalation - Can cause nausea and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, and headaches.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

EYES: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.

SKIN: Wash with soap and water after using.

INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air. Give oxygen and/or artificial respiration if needed. Call a physician.

INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.

OTHER: Referral to a physician is recommended if there is any question about the seriousness of the injury/exposure.

CONTROL MEASURES AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

VENTILATION: General (natural or mechanically-induced fresh air movements that maintain vapor concentrations below recommended exposure limits).

EYE PROTECTION: Splash goggles or glasses with side shields recommended.

SKIN PROTECTION: Neoprene or rubber gloves recommended.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None normally required. Use a NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator when vapor concentrations exceed recommended exposure limits. Never enter a confined space without an appropriate air supplied respirator (e.g SCBA or airline with escape pack).

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

HANDLING AND STORING PRECAUTIONS: Keep in a cool dry place out of direct rays of the sun. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating or smoking.
