Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Contact:
If exposure occurs, flush the affected eye for at least 20 minutes. Tilt the head to prevent chemical from transferring to the
uncontaminated eye. Seek medical attention immediately after flushing.

Material Safety Data Sheet
QUALALACQTM LACQUER GLOSS QUART
Product Name:
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Dilute with water or milk. Never give fluids if the victim is unconscious or having convulsions. Seek
medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact:
If exposure occurs, flush the affected area thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Destroy contaminated clothing and shoes.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, administer CPR until help arrives or the victim starts to breathe on his own. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention immediately.
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media:
Use alcohol foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or any Class B fire extinguishing agent. Water may be unsuitable for extinguishing
fires. Water may be used to cool and prevent the rupture of containers that are exposed to the heat from a fire.
Products of Combustion:
Combustion may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and irritating or toxic vapors and gases.
Protection of Firefighters / Explosion Hazards:
Evacuate all persons from the fire area to a safe location. Move non-burning material, as feasible, to a safe location as soon as
possible. Fire fighters should be protected from potential explosion hazards while extinguishing the fire. Wear self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full fire-fighting protective clothing. Thoroughly decontaminate all protective equipment after use.
Containers of this material may build up pressure if exposed to heat (fire). Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use
water spray to disperse vapors if a spill or leak has not ignited. DO NOT extinguish a fire resulting from the flow of flammable
liquid until the flow of the liquid is effectively shut off. This precaution will help prevent the accumulation of an explosive vapor-air
mixture after the initial fire is extinguished.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Follow personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8. Personal protection needs must be evaluated based on
information provided on this sheet and the special circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of
the spill, the area in which the spill occurred, and the training and the expertise of employees in the area responding to the spill.
Never exceed any occupational exposure limits. Shut off ignition sources; including electrical equipment and flames. Do not allow
smoking in the area. Do not allow the spilled product to enter public drainage systems or open waterways.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling:
Empty containers may retain product residue or vapor. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose container to
heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition.
Storage:
Keep containers closed when not in use. Store in cool well ventilated space away from incompatible materials.

Material Safety Data Sheet
QUALALACQTM LACQUER GLOSS QUART
Product Name:
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate ventilation to maintain airborne concentrations at levels below permissible or recommended occupational exposure
limits.
Eye / Face Protection:
Wear chemical-resistant glasses and/or goggles and a face shield when eye and face contact is possible due to splashing or spraying
of material.
Skin Protection:
Wear chemical resistant footwear and clothing such as gloves, an apron or a whole body suit as appropriate.
Respiratory Protection:
A NIOSH-approved air-purifying respirator with the appropriate cartridge may be appropriate under certain circumstances where
airborne concentrations are expected to exceed permissible exposure limits. Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is
limited. Use a positive-pressure, air supplied respirator if there is potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not
known or any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
General Hygiene Considerations:
It is good practice to avoid contact with the product and/or its vapor, mists or dust by using appropriate protective measures.
Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating or drinking.
