3. HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS:
Material
ACGIH TLV
4. HEALTH HAZARD DATA:
EYE: Slightly irritating to eyes, but does not cause injury to eye tissue.
SKIN CONTACT: Moderately irritating to skin. In rare instances, exposure to this product may cause numbing, burning
and tingling sensations. These effects are reversible and usually subside within 12 hours.
SKIN ABSORPTION: The acute dermal toxicity is considered to be low. The dermal LD50 for rabbits is greater than 2000
mg/kg.
INGESTION: The acute oral toxicity is considered to be low. The oral LD50 for rats is 998 mg/kg. Small amounts that
might be swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger
amounts may cause serious injury, even death. If aspirated (liquid enters the lungs), may cause lung damage or even
death due to chemical pneumonia.

INHALATION: The acute inhalation toxicity is considered to be low. The inhalation LC50 for rats is greater than 4.30 mg/I
for 4 hours. Symptoms of excessive exposure include squinting eyes, irregular and rattled breathing, ataxia, headache,
dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects.
SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Excessive exposure may produce effects on the nervous system
such as sensitivity to touch and sound, tremors, abnormal movement, and clonic convulsions. Long-term studies with
permethrin in laboratory animals resulted in increased liver and kidney weights, induction of the liver microsomal drug
metabolizing enzyme system, and histopathological changes in the lungs and liver.
CANCER INFORMATION: Chronic feeding studies with permethrin in mice and rats indicate limited evidence of
oncogenicity in laboratory animals. Based on comprehensive evaluations of all relevant health effects data, it was
concluded that the oncogenic potential in humans is extremely weak or nonexistent.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): Did not cause birth defects in animal studies. Exposures having no effect on the
mothers had no effect on the fetuses. The no effect levels in rabbits and rats were 600 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg, respectively.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Permethrin did not interfere with fertility in animal reproduction studies. The no effect level in
a two-generation rat reproduction study was 180 mg/kg.
MUTAGENICITY (EFFECTS ON GENETIC MATERIAL): Based on a number of in vivo and in vitro studies, it was
concluded that permethrin is not a mutagen.
5. FIRST AID MEASURES:
EYES: Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady gentle stream of water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation
persists.
SKIN: Wash with a mild soap and rinse with plenty of water Get medical attention if irritation persists.
INGESTION: Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately Do not induce vomiting as it may cause aspiration
pneumonia. Contains an aromatic petroleum solvent. Dilute the ingested material by giving the victim one or two glasses of
water Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. Get
medical attention if symptoms persist.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: This product has low oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity It is moderately irritating to the skin and is
minimally irritating to the eyes. Reversible skin sensations (parasthesia) may occur and skin salves have been found
useful in reducing discomfort. Contains an aromatic petroleum solvent that can produce a severe pneumonitis or fatal
pulmonary edema if aspirated during vomiting. Consideration should be given to gastric lavage with an endotracheal tube
in place. Treatment is controlled removal of exposure followed by symptomatic and supportive care.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Flash Point:
Foam, C02 , or dry chemical is preferred. Soft stream water fog only if necessary
Fire & Explosion Precautions: Foam fire extinguishing system is preferred because uncontrolled water can spread
possible contamination. Do not allow fire fighting water to escape into waterways or sewers. Toxic irritating gases can be
formed.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Use positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
REACTIVITY:
Stability: (CONDITIONS TO AVOID)
Avoid heating above 150°F (66°C). Contains a petroleum derivative solvent which will burn. This product is volatile and
may produce vapors which can ignite or explode.
Incompatibility: (SPECIFIC MATERIALS TO AVOID)
None known.
Hazardous Decomposition: Under fire conditions, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and
aldehydes can be formed.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
7. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION:
IN CASE OF SPILLS OR LEAKS: Wear protective clothing as described in Section VII (Personal Protection and
Precautions) of this MSDS. Absorb liquid with material such as clay, sand, sawdust, or dirt. Sweep up and place in a
suitable container for disposal and label the contents. Area can be washed down with a suitable solution of bleach or soda
ash and an appropriate alcohol (methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol). Follow this by washing with a strong soap and water
solution. Absorb any excess liquid as indicated above, and add to the disposal container Keep product, contaminated
materials and wash water out of streams and sewers. Wash exposed body areas thoroughly after handling.
DISPOSAL METHOD: Do not contaminate food, feed, or water by storage or cleaning of equipment. Wastes resulting
from the use of this product may be disposed of on site, if approved waste handling facilities are available, or at an
approved waste handling facility.
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROPERTIES: In soil, permethrin is stable over a wide range of pH values. When applied
at agricultural use rates, permethrin has a moderate rate of degradation in soil. At termiticidal use rates, permethrin is
degraded at a slower rate, which is governed by soil characteristics. Due to its high affinity for organic matter, (KOC=
86,000), there is little potential for movement in soil or entry into ground water Permethrin has a Log Pow of 6.1, but a low
potential to bioconcentrate (BCF = 500) due to the ease with which it is metabolized.
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY: Permethrin is highly toxic to fish (LC50 = 0.5 pg/L to 315 pg/L) and aquatic arthropods
(LC50 = 0.02 pg/L to 7.6 pg/L). Marine species are often more sensitive than the freshwater species. Bacteria, algae,
mollusks and amphibians are much more tolerant of permethrin than the fish and arthropods. Care should be taken to
avoid contamination of the aquatic environment. Permethrin is slightly toxic to birds and oral LD5O values are greater than
3,600 mg/kg. Longer dietary studies showed that concentrations of up to 500 ppm in the diet had no effect on bird
reproduction.

8. PERSONAL PROTECTION AND PRECAUTIONS:
EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(S):
Permethrin:
None established. Supplier recommends a guideline of 100 ppm total hydrocarbon based on composition VENTILATION: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure guidelines.
Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. For most
conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if the exposure guideline is exceeded, use an air-
purifying respirator approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN, or comparable certification organization).
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Use chemical protective goggles or a face shield.
SKIN PROTECTION: Wear coveralls or long-sleeved shirt and long pants, chemical protective gloves (nitrile, neoprene, or
Viton® brand), head covering and shoes plus socks. For increased exposures, wear a full body cover barrier suit, such as
a PVC rain suit. Contaminated leather articles, such as shoes, belts, and watchbands, should be removed and destroyed.
Launder all work clothing before reuse. Keep work clothing separated from household laundry
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING AND STORAGE: See product label. Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or
absorbed through the skin. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling
and before eating or smoking. Avoid breathing dust vapor, or spray mist. Store in a cool, dry place and away from heat.
Keep out of reach of children and animals. Keep away from food, feedstuffs and water supplies.
