SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
* Emergency Overview *
Tinted liquid, solvent odor. Combustible. May cause eye, skin or respiratory irritation,
dizziness, headache, nausea.
Effects of Short-Term Overexposure:
Eyes: Irritation
Skin: Irritation
Inhalation: Irritation, headache, dizziness, nausea, anesthesia, drowsiness
Ingestion: Irritation, nausea, aspiration hazard
Effects of Chronic Overexposure: NA
Material Exposure Limits: See Section 2 for information on ingredients.
Routes of Entry: Contact, inhalation, ingestion
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, nervous system
Cancer Rating: This material does contain more than 0.1% of any chemical listed
by NTP, IARC or OSHA as being carcinogenic.
Quartz 14808-60-7
Additional Information: Not applicable
SECTION 4: First Aid Measures
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if irritation
persists.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash with soap and water. Seek medical
attention if necessary.
Inhalation: If exposed to excessive levels, remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if
necessary.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth if conscious. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention if
necessary.
SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 105.0 oF
Method Used: PMCC (ASTM D93)
Flammable Limits (Percentage in air):
UEL: ND
LEL: ND
Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, water spray
Control Measures: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full turn-out gear. Use
water spray to cool containers. Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers due
to danger of boilover.

9/24/2006
Unusual Hazards: Closed containers may rupture or explode when exposed to extreme
heat. Material is volatile and will give off flammable vapors. Vapors may travel away to
ignition sources and ignite or explode.
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spills: Use personal protective equipment. Ventilate area. Eliminate ignition sources.
Contain spilled material and soak up with inert absorbent. Collect for disposal.
Releases to the air: Not applicable
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid personal contact. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash after handling.
Material will accumulate static charges, use proper bonding and grounding procedures.
Storage requirements: Keep container closed and upright. Store in a cool, ventilated
area. Do not handle or store near heat, sparks, flames, or other ignition sources.
SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Protective equipment: *
Eyes: Safety glasses or chemical goggles
Skin: Impervious gloves should be worn to prevent prolonged or repeated skin
contact
Respiratory: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirator if exposure
limits exceeded
Ventilation: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels.
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
Additional information: None
*
Protective equipment should be determined by conditions of exposure.

SECTION 11: Toxicological Information
No information available at this time.
SECTION 12: Ecological Information
No information required at this time.
SECTION 13: Disposal Procedures
Material and containers should be disposed in accordance with local, state and federal
regulations.
Empty Container Warning: Empty containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and
can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
such containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition; THEY MAY
EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt to clean since residue
is difficult to remove. Empty containers should be completely drained and properly
disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental
regulations.
