2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
The product is harmful following acute exposure to it and poses a serious health threat if ingested or
brought into contact with the skin.
The product is corrosive. If brought into contact with the skin causes burning and in case of contact
with eyes may cause damages to the eyelids and to the cornea.
If brought into contact with the skin, the product may cause sensitisation of the skin.
This product is a threat to the environment; it is harmful to aquatic organisms following acute exposure.
In the long term this product may have negative effects on the aquatic environment, because it is
not easily biodegradable and/or bioaccumulable.
