Risk Phrases Irritating to the respiratory system

Dangerous substances May form a flammable/explosive vapour-air mix during use.
Primary route of exposure Inhalation, ingestion

Symptoms relating to use:

Inhalation Nausea
Skin contact Redness: Prolonged or repeated contact with the material will remove natural oils
from the skin, which can lead to dermatitis.
Eye contact Redness and pain
Ingestion Abdominal pain, nausea, cramps

attention.
Skin Wash skin with soap and water if available. If persistent irritation occurs seek
medical attention.
