Aerosol ES111 1 gallon Liquid ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA HCFC-141b HCFC-225 None Yes HFC nPB Yes None Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are regulated under the Montreal Protocol as Class II ozone depleting substances. HCFC-141b is no longer produced in the US under this legislation. HCFC-225 is planned for production phase-out in 2015. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are not currently regulated. EPA has listed n-propyl bromide (nPB) as an acceptable alternative to ozone depleting substances in metal, precision, and electronics cleaning under Section 612 of the Clean Air Act.

This product is nonflammable. Liquid may irritate eyes and skin under repeated or prolonged exposure. Breathing high concentrations of product vapor may produce dizziness and nausea. Potential Health Effects: Eyes: Liquid, aerosols and vapors of this product may be irritating and can cause pain, tearing, reddening and swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation. Skin: Prolonged contact can cause skin irritation, including redness, burning, drying and/or cracking of skin.. Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. Swallowing this material may result in nausea, vomiting and weakness followed by central nervous system depression. Inhalation: Can be harmful if inhaled. High concentrations of vapors in immediate area can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness and death. SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES Eyes: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and tested by medical personnel if irritation develops or persists. Skin: Wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persist. Wash clothing before reuse. Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If conscious, give 2 glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Keep head below knees to minimize chance of aspirating material into the lungs. Get medical attention immediately. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: None to boiling (TCC) Extinguishing Media: Use water spray or fog, CO2, dry chemical or water stream when fighting fires involving this material. Fire Fighting Instructions: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH-approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Spills: Shut off leak if possible and safe to do so. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical waste container for proper disposal. Do not flush to sewer. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash hands before eating. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing product vapor or mist. Do not reuse this container. Store in a cool dry place away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not store in direct sunlight.
