SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

WARNING STATEMENTS: Symptoms of overexposure include lethargy, continuous muscle contractions,
convulsions, incoordination, tearing eyes and hair loss.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: This product has moderate oral and low dermal and inhalation toxicity. It is expected to be
mildly irritating to the eyes and skin. Reversible skin sensations (paresthesia) may occur and ordinary skin salves have been
found useful in reducing discomfort. Do not administer milk, cream or other substances that contain vegetable or animal
fats, as they enhance absorption. Central nervous system stimulation should be controlled with sedation by, e.g.
barbiturates. Contains aromatic hydrocarbons that may produce a severe pneumonitis is aspirated during vomiting.
Consideration should be given to gastric lavage with an endotracheal tube in place. Treatment is otherwise controlled
removal of exposure followed by symptomatic and supportive care.

POTENTIAL ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS:

Eye Contact: May be mildly irritating to the eyes, excessive tearing may be a result.
Skin Contact: The most likely route of entry. May produce skin sensations such a numbing, burning or tingling.
These are reversible within 12 hours.
Ingestion: Contact a physician if material is ingested
Inhalation: Contact a physician if material is inhaled and breathing is difficult.

SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLASH POINT AND METHOD: >50.0 ºC (Pensky-Martens Closed Cup) (>122º F)
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: None established
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if necessary. Contain
all runoff.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Moderately combustible. When heated above the flash point, this material
releases vapors which, when mixed with air, can burn or be explosive. Heat
and fire may result in thermal decomposition and the release of carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, chlorine and hydrogen chloride.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full protective clothing and self
contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors
generated. Keep non-essential personnel away from the immediate fire area,
and out of any fall-out or run-off areas.

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective equipment as prescribed
in Section 8, “Exposure Controls/Personal Protection”. Keep unprotected persons and animals out of area.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds, and sewer drains. Dike to confine spill and absorb with a non-combustible
absorbent such as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump waste into a drum and label contents for disposal.
To clean and neutralize spill area, tools and equipment, wash with a suitable solution of caustic or soda ash, and an
appropriate alcohol (i.e., methanol, ethanol or isopropanol). Follow this by washing with a strong soap and water solution.
Absorb, as above, any excess liquid and add to the drums of waste already collected. Repeat if necessary. Dispose of
drummed waste according to the method outlined in Section 13, “Disposal Considerations”.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

GENERAL PROCEDURES: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not use or store near heat, open flame or hot
surfaces. Store in original containers only. Keep out of reach of children and animals. Do not contaminate other pesticides,
fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage or disposal. Always wash thoroughly after handling.

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use local exhaust at all process locations where vapor or mist may be emitted. Ventilate
all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For splash, mist or spray exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For splash, mist or spray exposure, wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted half-face or full-face air-
purifying respirator which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN or comparable certification
organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on airborne concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear coveralls or long sleeved uniform and
head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills, wear full body covered barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather
items- such as shoes, belts and watch bands – that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all
work clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry).
Personal Protective Equipment: [40 CFR 170]: Note, the following PPE requirements address handler/applicator
requirements under FIFRA and may differ from what is felt necessary to address clean up needs during
formulation/manufacturing or other times of involvement with the product. Applicators and other handlers must wear:
coveralls over short-sleeved shirt and short pants, chemical resistant gloves, such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile
rubber, neoprene rubber or Viton, shoes plus socks, and protective eyewear.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ACUTE DERMAL LD50: >2,000 mg/kg (rabbit)
ACUTE ORAL LD50: >355 mg/kg
ACUTE INHALATION LC50: >2.02 mg/L (4 hrs, rat)
EYE IRRITATION: moderately irritating
DERMAL IRRITATION: moderately irritating
DERMAL SENSITIZATION: not a sensitizer

ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has moderate oral, and low dermal and inhalation toxicity.
It is expected to be mildly irritating to the eyes and skin. Signs of toxicity in laboratory animals included hypertonicity,
ataxia, lethargy, convulsions, gasping, salivation, dyspnea and alopecia. Experience to date indicates that contact with this
product may produce skin sensations such as numbing, burning and tingling. These sensations are reversible and usually
subside within 12 hours. Inhalation of aromatic hydrocarbon vapors may cause dizziness, disturbances of vision,
drowsiness, respiratory irritation and eye, skin and mucous membrane irritation. Vomiting after ingestion of this product
may cause aspiration of aromatic hydrocarbons into the lungs that may result in fatal pulmonary edema. Excessive
exposures to butanol liquid or vapors result in contact dermatitis and irritation of the mucous membranes.

CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the formulation. In studies with laboratory
animals, cypermethrin did not cause reproductive toxicity, teratogenicity, neurotoxicity or carcinogenicity in male an female
rats and male mice. Cypermethrin caused an increase in benign lung tumors in female mice at 1600 ppm in the diet. The
EPA concluded on a weight of evidence approach that cypermethrin represents a low oncogenic potential to female mice at
this dose level (approximately 228 mg/kg/day). Liver enlargement is often noted in laboratory animals that have ingested
large doses of cypermethrin during their life span. An overall absence of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in tests of
mutagenicity, DNA damage and chromosome aberrations. Chronic exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons may cause
headaches, dizziness, loss of sensations or feelings (such as numbness), and liver and kidney damage. Inhalation of xylene
vapors at high doses has also resulted in an increased incidence of malformations and decreases in fetal weight in laboratory
animals. Damage from xylene may be potentiated by alcohol. Disturbances in hearing and balance have been reported in
workers exposed to butanol vapors.

CARCINOGENICITY:
IARC: Not listed.
NTP: Not listed.
OSHA: Not listed.
OTHER (ACGIH): Not listed.

SECTION 12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Cypermethrin is rapidly degraded in soil with a half-life of 2 to 4 weeks. It is readily
hydrolyzed under basic conditions; hydrolysis half-life period can be 20 to 29 days. Cypermethrin has a high affinity for
organic matter and a Log Pow of 5.0; yet, because of the ease with which the material undergoes degradation, it has a very
low potential for bioconcentration (BCF = 17), and is not mobile in soil.

ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Cypermethrin is considered extremely toxic to fish and aquatic arthropods,
and has LC50 values which range from 0.004 ug/L to 3.6 ug/L. The aquatic arthropods tended to be some of the more
sensitive species. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the aquatic environment. Cypermethrin is slightly toxic to
birds and oral LD50 values are greater than 10,248 mg/kg.

SECTION 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited. If spilled material
cannot be disposed of by use according to instructions, an acceptable method of disposal is to incinerate accordance with
local, state and national environmental laws, rules, standards and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of
disposal may vary by location and regulatory requirements may change, the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior
to disposal.

EMPTY CONTAINER: Non-returnable containers which held this material should be cleaned prior to disposal, by triple
rinsing. Containers which held this material may be cleaned by being triple rinsed, and recycled, with rinsate being
incinerated. Do not cut or weld metal containers. Vapors that form may create an explosion hazard
