SECTION III HEALTH INFORMATION

The health effects noted below are consistent with the requirements under the OSHA hazard
communication standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).

INHALATION
Major route of potential exposure. Product depresses the central nervous system. Concentrations between 900-1000
ppm may cause dizziness. Nausea, headaches, and vomiting can occur at concentrations above 2000 ppm. At 7000
ppm numbness and tingling in arms and legs and rapid heartbeats have occurred. Loss of consciousness and death
have occurred at levels above 9000 ppm, if exposure is prolonged. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing or in
respiratory distress, start artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and get immediate medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT
Product is painful and irritating if confined to skin by gloves, clothing, etc. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause
irritation, defatting of skin, and dermatitis. Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Immediately flush with large amount of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain immediate medical attention. Launder
clothing before reuse and discard contaminated leather articles.

EYE CONTACT
Product may be extremely irritating to the eyes and may cause temporary corneal injury. Vapors may be irritating.

INGESTION
Single dose toxicity low to moderate. Aspiration may occur during swallowing or vomiting, resulting in lung
damage, and can cause chemical pneumonia and systemic effects. May cause liver damage

SECTION IV EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

INHALATION:
Remove to fresh air if effects occur. If not breathing or in respiratory distress, clear person's airway and start
artificial respiration. With a physician's advice, give supplemental oxygen. Get medical attention.

SKIN:
Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Immediately flush with large amount of water for at least 15
minutes. Obtain immediate medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse and discard contaminated leather
articles.

EYES:
Immediately flush with large amount of water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart while flushing to rinse
entire surface of eye and lids with water. Obtain immediate medical attention. If physician is not immediately
available, continue flushing with water for additional 15 minutes.

INGESTION:
Do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses of water or activated charcoal slurry. Do not give anything by
mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Call a physician immediately.
Note to physician: adrenalin should never be given to person overexposed to methytlene chloride.

SECTION V SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTH INFORMATION

Chronic overexposures found to produce liver and kidney toxic effects in experimental animals.

CARCINOGENICITY
Component - 1: has been evaluated for possible cancer causing effects in laboratory animals.
Inhalation studies at concentrations of 2000, and 4000ppm increased the incidence of malignant liver and lung tumors
in mice. Inhalation studies of rats have shown increased the incidence of benign mammary gland tumors in female rats
at concentrations of 500pmm. And above and increases the incidence of benign mammary gland tumors in male rats at
concentrations of 1500pmm and above. Rats exposed to 50 and 200 pmm via inhalation showed no increased
incidence of tumors. Mice and rats; exposed by ingestion at levels up to 250 mgkg/day lifetime and hamsters exposed
via inhalation to concentrations up to 3500 pmm lifetime did not show an increased incidence of tumors.

(IARC) has concluded that with respect to dichloromethane and dimethylformamide, there is sufficient evidence of the
carcinogenicity to experimental animals and inadequate evidence of the carcinogenicity to humans, resulting in a
classification as a 2b animal carcinogen. The (NTP) has identified dichloromethane as an animal carcinogen. The state
of California has listed the dichloromethane as a chemical known to the state to cause cancer.

REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY
Tests have been conducted to evaluate the adverse effects dichloromethane may have on reproduction and offspring
of laboratory animals. The results indicate dichloromethane does not cause birth defects in laboratory animals. The
test results for dimethylformamide is not available.

SECTION VI EMPLOYEE PROTECTION

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Avoid breathing vapors/mists. Vapor concentration that exceed 50ppm, an NISOH-approved full-face respirator with
organic vapor cartridges is acceptable. Use either a full-face, self-contained breathing apparatus or air line respirator
with full facepiece for vapor concentrations above 1000 ppm and for spills and or emergencies.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Wear chemical goggles, full-length face shield. Avoid contact with skin and clothing. Wear chemical-resist ant gloves
such as vitron or butyl. Solvent-resistant boots, apron and protective clothing.

ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES

Use ventilation as required to control vapor concentrations to maintain exposure levels below 50ppm (twa) to determine
exposure levels, monitoring should be performed regularly. Eye wash fountains and safety shower should be available
for emergency use.

SECTION VIII FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS

Flash point and method: none Flammable limits in air

(tcc) 12 - 19% (vol.) @ 100ºc

Extinguishing media
Use water fog, 'alcohol' foam, dry chemical or c02.

Special fire fighting procedures and precautions

Material will not burn unless preheated. Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet with face
shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure NISOH approved self-contained
breathing apparatus.

Unusual fire and explosion hazards

Concentrated vapors can be ignited by high intensity ignition source. Firefighters should wear self-contained
positive pressure breathing apparatus due to thermal decomposition products and avoid skin contact

SECTION IX REACTIVITY

Stability: Stable Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur

Condition and material to avoid:

Avoid heat, flame and contact with electric arcs, or other hot surfaces which can cause thermal decomposition.
Avoid strong alkalies, oxygen, nitrogen peroxide, sodium, potassium,
polyhalogenated compounds and other oxidizers and reactive metals.

Hazardous decomposition products

Hydrogen chloride, phosgene, chlorine, may release dimethylamine and carbon monoxide.

Additional protective measures

Use ventilation as required to control vapor concentrations. Eye wash fountains and safety shower
Should be available for emergency use. .

SECTION X STORAGE AND HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Store labeled, sealed containers in a cool, dry, well ventilated area out of sunlight. Prevent water or moist air from
entering containers. Do not cut or weld on empty or full containers. Aluminum equipment should not be used for
storage and/or transfer. Vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low area. Do not remove or deface label. Do
not reuse container.

Product name: Attack

SECTION XI SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

Evacuate area, ventilate, and avoid breathing vapors. Dike area to contain spill. If spill occur indoors, turn off air
conditioning and/or heating system, to prevent vapors from contaminating entire building. Clean up area by mopping
or with absorbent material and place in closed containers for disposal. Prevent entry into sewers and waterways.
Small spills Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material; dispose of
properly. Consult federal, state, or local disposal authorities for approved procedures.

SECTION XII SPECIAL PRECAUTION

Warning. Extremely irritating to the eyes. May cause skin and respiratory tract irritation and sensitization. Containers,
even those that have been emptied, can contain hazardous product residues. Wash with soap and water before
eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetic, or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
Contaminated leather articles including shoes cannot be decontaminated and should be destroyed.
Fumes and vapors from the thermal and chemical decompositions vary widely in composition and toxicity. Do not
breath fumes. Use a NISOH-approved respirator as required to prevent over exposure.
The "skin" notation indicates that the liquid and vapor can penetrate skin and mucous membranes. Therefore, control
of inhalation alone may not be sufficient to prevent an excessive dose.
Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep away from open flames and high temperatures. Misuse of
empty containers can be hazardous. Cutting or welding of empty containers might cause fire, explosion or toxic
fumes from residues. Do not pressurize containers to empty them.
