Chemical Composition/Ingredients
The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.

Warnings
Hazard Statements
Danger. Poison. May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Vapor Harmful. Skin and eye irritant.
Precautionary Statements
Prevention
Use outdoors if possible. If you must use indoors, open all windows and outside doors, use only with moving fresh air cross ventilation over the work area and across floor. Keep away from heat and flames. Vapors flow along floors, under doors and on contact with flame or hot surface, may produce toxic poisonous gas and destroy metals. -
Acute health effects
From SDS:
Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Danger. Poison. May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Vapor Harmful. Skin and eye irritant.
Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact: Eye contact can cause severe irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision and may cause transient injury to cornea.
Skin Contact: Short contact may cause slight reddening or no irritation. Prolonged or frequently repeated contact can cause irritation, defatting, dermatitis and may result in absorption of harmful amounts. Some ingredients in this product may be absorbed through intact skin and produce toxic effects similar to swallowing.
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, headache, nausea, unconsciousness and asphyxiation.
Ingestion: Aspiration of material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumotitis which can be fatal. Ingestion can cause blindness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal irritation and death. -
Chronic health effects
From SDS:
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the product may be harmful or fatal. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain, nervous system, liver and kidney damage. For hazard communication purposes under OSHA standard 29 CFR part 1910.1200, methylene chloride has been shown to increase the rate of spontaneously occuring malignant tumors in one strain of laboratory mouse and benign tumors in laboratory rats. Other animal studies and human epidemiology studies have not shown a tumorigenic response which could be related to methylene chloride. -
Carcinogenicity
Dichloromethane (methylene chloride) has been shown to increase the incidence of malignant tumors in mice and benign tumors in rates. Other animal studies, as well as several human epidemiology studies, failed to show a tumorigenic response. Methylene chloride is not believed to pose a measurble carcinogenic risk to man when handled as recommended. Studies have shown that tumors observed in mice are unique to that species. Dichloromethane is a confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevence to humans, group A3 with ACGIH; IARC listed as a group 2B, possible carcinogenic to humans; NTP as anticipated carcinogen; and OSHA as a potential cancer harzard. -
Handling information
Do not breathe material. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product residues(vapor and liquid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. All five-gallon pails and larger metal containers should be grounded and/or bonded when material is transferred. Store in cool place, out of hot sun and below 90F. All containers are subject to damage in storage and transit. Damaged containers may start leaking immediately or at a later time. Do not store in areas with widely fluctuating temperatures and do not store where vapors may come in contact with flames, sparks, or heat. Do not store in below ground areas that cannot be adequately ventilated at floor level. Do not use cutting or welding torches near full or empty containers. Closed containers may explode if exposed to extreme heat. Never use internal gas or air pressure to remove contents from a container. Emptied containers may retain product residues (e.g. vapor and liquid or solids); Therefore all precautions given in this sheet must be observed until a container is thoroughly cleaned or destroyed. All containers must be completely drained, (less than one inch of material in the bottom of 55 gallon container) before disposal. If possible emptied container of 55 gallons or more should be given to reconditioner for cleaning -
Disposal information
Removers cannot be neutralized for disposal into a sewer. Solvents must not be dumped on the ground or be allowed to contaminate ground water, streams, drinking water sources or other bodies of water. Solids collected from stripping should be screened out. Recovered remover, if not contaminated with other solvents or water, may be recycled in the system. Dispose of contaminated remover as spent solvent to a licensed reclaimer. Comply with all local, state, and federal regulations. -
California Prop. 65 Warning
This product contains a chemical(s) known to the state of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm. -
First Aid
Eye Contact: Flood with plenty of water with eye lids held open for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention promptly.Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.Inhalation: If illness occurs, remove patient to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing has stopped, start artificial respiration. Call physician immediately.Ingestion: Immediately give 1 or 2 glasses of water and call physician, hospital emergency room or poison control center for way to induce vomiting. Get medical attention promptly. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Aspiration of material into lungs can cause chemical pneumotitis which can be fatal.Note to Physicians: This material is an aspiration hazard. Potential danger from aspiration must be weighed against possible oral toxicity when deciding whether to induce vomiting.
