3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
***************** EMERGENCY OVERVIEW *****************
* *
* CAUTION *
* *
* Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin or eye *
* irritation. May be harmful if swallowed. Keep *
* away from heat, sparks, flame. *

**********************************************************
HMIS Rating - Health: *2
Flammability: 2
Reactivity: 0
NFPA/HMIS Definitions: (0-Least, 1-Slight, 2-Moderate, 3-High,
4-Extreme). These values are obtained using the guidelines or published
evaluations prepared by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) or
the National Paint and Coating Association (for HMIS ratings).
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYE:
Contact may cause eye irritation.
SKIN:
Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the skin and cause a skin rash
(dermatitis). May cause allergic skin reaction.

(section 3 continued)
INHALATION:
Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Prolonged or excessive inhalation may
cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic respiratory
reaction. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose,
throat, and lungs. May cause headaches and dizziness, anaesthesia,
drowsiness, unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects,
including death.
INGESTION:
Harmful if swallowed. Can burn mouth, throat, and stomach. Small amounts
of this product aspirated into the respiratory system during ingestion or
vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury, possibly progressing
to death. Minimal toxicity.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
Sensitized (allergic) individuals may show allergenic lung and/or skin
reaction. After an individual is diagnosed as sensitive to isocyanates,
no exposure should be permitted. Chronic effects of overexposure to
xylene may include kidney or liver damage.
REPRODUCTIVE HAZARDS:
Exposure to aromatic hydrocarbon may damage developing fetus.
CARCINOGENICITY INFORMATION:
No known cancer hazards.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Asthma-like conditions may cause additional breathing problems.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT FIRST AID:
After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing
for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or
persists.
SKIN CONTACT FIRST AID:
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash affected area immediately
with large amounts of soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation
develops or persists.

(section 4 continued)
INHALATION FIRST AID:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. Get medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop.
INGESTION FIRST AID:
If swallowed, immediately give 2 glasses of water. Do not induce
vomiting. Contact a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
TCC Flash Point: 43.3 C (109.9 F)
Autoignition Temperature: N/A
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR
LEL: 0.9 %
UEL: 6.5 %
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:
Full emergency equipment with self contained breathing apparatus and full
protective clothing should be worn. At temperatures greater than 400 F
material may polymerize causing pressure build up in closed containers.
Explosive rupture is possible. Use cold water to cool containers exposed
to fire.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Water, carbon dioxide, foam or dry powder.
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Vapors may flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back.
Closed containers exposed to heat may explode. Contact with strong
oxidizers may cause fire.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Gases.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SAFEGUARDS (PERSONNEL):
Wear safety goggles. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Eliminate all sources of ignition - heat, sparks, flame, electricity,
impact and friction. Provide appropriate ventilation, or respirator to
keep exposure below the Permissible Exposure Levels.
INITIAL CONTAINMENT:
Contain spilled material. Absorb spills with inert material. Eliminate
all sources of ignition - heat, sparks, flame, electricity, and impact.
LARGE SPILLS PROCEDURE:
Absorb spill with inert material (e g, dry sand or earth), then place in a
chemical waste container.
SMALL SPILLS PROCEDURE:
Absorb spills with inert material.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
RECOMMENDED STORAGE TEMPERATURE
Minimum: 15.6 C (60.1 F)
Maximum: 26.7 C (80.1 F)
SHELF LIFE: (in original, sealed containers)
6 months @ 26.7 C
HANDLING (PERSONNEL):
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash hands thoroughly
after handling.
HANDLING (PHYSICAL ASPECTS):
Provide appropriate ventilation. Close container after each use. Keep
container closed to avoid contamination. Keep out of reach of children.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
Avoid extreme temperatures. Keep container closed when not in use. Store
in a cool dry place.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use only with adequate ventilation.
EYE / FACE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS:
Wear safety glasses. A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's
29 CFR 1910-134 and ANSI Z88-2 requirements must be followed whenever
workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
SKIN PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS:
Selection of specific items such as gloves, boots, apron or full-body suit
will depend on operation. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS:
When there is potential for airborne exposures in excess of applicable
limits, wear NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection.
