3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Poison, May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Irritating, and may injure eye tissue if not removed promptly.
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin
irritation and dermatitis (rash). Liquid contact could cause frostbite.
INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed --- contains small amounts of methanol.
INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause lung damage and/or central
nervous system disturbances.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYES: Symptoms of overexposure include: stinging, tearing, redness and pain.
SKIN: Exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite ("cold" burn).
INGESTION: Poison - may be fatal if swallowed.
INHALATION: High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea,
headaches, paralysis and loss of consciousness).
ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS
depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result.
CHRONIC: Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the skin and cause a skin rash (dermatitis).
CARCINOGENICITY: NOT listed
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Not Established
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not considered a developmental toxicant.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation is major route of entry.
CANCER STATEMENT: NOT listed
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention, if irritation persists.

ECG Cleaner/Lubricant
SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
INGESTION: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, give two glasses of water. Seek
medical attention.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: None
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: 7.4 to 15.5
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: 550°C (1022°F)
GENERAL HAZARD: Aerosol cans may erupt with force at temperatures above 120F.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Smoke, fumes and oxides of carbon.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors, when present in the flammable range (listed above), especially in a confined or
poorly ventilated space, can be ignited with a flame or high intesity source of heat.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to knock down
vapors which may result from product decomposition.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand,
(MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Decomposition products are hazardous. This compound can
be decomposed by high temperatures (open flames, glowing metal surfaces, etc.) forming hydrochloric and
hydrofluoric acids - possibly carbonyl halides.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL: Absorb liquid and place in sealed container for disposal. Vapors can travel to an ignition source.
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Dike area to contain spill. Take precautions as necessary to prevent contamination
of ground and surface waters. Recover spilled material on adsorbent, such as sawdust or vermiculite, and sweep into
closed containers for disposal. After all visible traces, including vapors, have been removed thoroughly wet vacuum
the area. Do not flush to sewer. If area of spill is porous, remove as much contaminated earth, gravel, etc. as
necessary and place in closed containers for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area. Follow all
file:///N|/MSDS/5115ij4j.htm (3 of 8)1/13/2004 12:13:36 PM
ECG Cleaner/Lubricant
MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because they may retain product residues. Store in a cool
dry place.
HANDLING: Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below recommended limits. Provide
adequate ventilation for storage, handling and use, especially for enclosed or low spaces. Avoid contact of liquid
with eyes and prolonged skin exposure. Do not allow product to contact open flame or electrical heating elements
because dangerous decomposition products may form.
STORAGE: Store in a cool place in original container and protect from sunlight. Keep away from heat and flame.
STORAGE PRESSURE: Store at local atomspheric pressure.
STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Contents under pressure. Do not expose to heat or store above (120) F (49) C.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid
contact, wear splash-proof goggles.
SKIN: The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. Gloves of other chemically
resistant materials may not provide adequate protection.

RESPIRATORY: NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister
may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure
limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if
