Emergency and First Aid Procedure: Skin: wash with soap and water. Eyes: flush with clean water at least 15
minutes. If irritation persists, consult physician. Inhalation: remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer
oxygen. If irritation persists, consult physician. Ingestion: give two glasses of water, induce vomiting, consult
physician or poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Section VI - Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur Conditions to avoid: None known
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition will yield CO, and CO2.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Materials incompatible with water.
Section VII - Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Major spills should be collected for disposal. Minor spills
may be flushed to sewer if conditions permit. Before drying, product may be washed away with water; after drying,
remove with a paint scraper or strong solvent.
Waste Disposal Method: In accordance with all applicable regulations. Review hazard section of this sheet before
attempting cleanup. Empty containers are non hazardous under RCRA as industrial waste.
Section VIII - Safe Handling and Use Information
Respiratory Protection: In restricted ventilation areas, use approved chemical vapor respirator. In applications where
mists or spray may be generated, avoid inhalation of airborne particulates by using an approved respirator with organic
vapor cartridge with prefilter for mist or dust.
Ventilation: General (mechanical) room ventilation is expected to be satisfactory. Other Protective Equipment: None
Protective Gloves: Impervious gloves Eye Protection: Goggles, faceshield, or other eye wear to protect from splash.
Hygienic Practices: Thoroughly cleanse hands after handling. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
Section IX - Special Precautions
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: Avoid breathing vapors and application to hot surfaces, as vapor
may be irritating. Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Store indoors at temperatures of 45篎 to
90篎.
Other Precautions: For Industry/professional use only. Not intended for retail sale or use by individual consumers.
Do not reuse container for potables or edibles.
Section X - Sara Status
This mixture contains the following materials regulated under Section 313:
Vinyl Acetate 0.1% by weight
Note: If you repackage or redistribute this product to industrial customers, a notice similar to this one
should be sent.
