SECTION 2 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Solvent vapor or mist
can cause headache, dizziness, nausea, mild depression, convulsions, loss of consciousness, and
irritation of the nose and throat.
Exposure to dusts and mists from sanding and spraying may be irritating to the respiratory tract.
Chronic exposure to dusts and mists may cause pulmonary diseases.
EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: May cause eye
irritation and transient corneal damage.
SKIN CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Prolonged or
repeated contact can cause irritation.
INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Product may get into the
lungs during swallowing or vomiting. Even a small quantity aspirated into the lungs may result in
chemical pnuemonitis and pulmonary edema/hemorrhage. Overexposure to benzotriazole
compound may cause liver damage or blood effects.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Products
denoted as "w/UVLS" can cause allergic reaction by skin contact in sensitized individuals. Pre-
existing respiratory conditions may be aggravated by exposure.
ADDITIONAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIFIED COMPONENTS
IDENTIFIED IN SECTION 3:
BENZOTRIAZOLE- Overexposure through ingestion may cause kidney and liver damage
CADMIUM- Cadmium Compounds are classified by IARC as probably carcinogenic in
humans. OSHA also classifies such compounds as causing lung and kidney disease.
WARNING: DO NOT SPRAY APPLY ?This product contains cadmium, a chemical known
to the State of California to cause cancer by means of inhalation.
CARBON BLACK- IARC classification as Group 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer.
CERULEAN BLUE- Skin contact may cause allergic sensitization. Ingestion may cause
systemic toxicity. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer.

known cause of silicosis, a noncancerous lung disease. WARNING: This product contains a
chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer.
3
COBALT COMPOUNDS- Individuals hypersensitive to Cobalt may develop asthma,
bronchitis, or shortness of breath. May cause skin sensitization. WARNING: This product
contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer.

animals and humans. Evidence of Chromium (III) compound carcinogenicity is inconclusive.
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer.
ETHYL BENZENE- WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer.
MANGANESE- Overexposure may affect the Central Nervous System and lungs, resulting in
transitory psychosis, tiredness, weakness and pneumonitis. May aggravate preexisting
neuralgic conditions.
MELAMINE- Acute exposure may cause eye or respiratory irritation. Chronic feeding studies
in male rats resulted in transitional-cell carcinomas.
MICA- Can cause slight lung fibrosis and pneumoconiosis.
NAPTHALENE- NTP reports that lifetime inhalation exposure to naphthalene resulted in
increases in tumors of the nose in rats. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known
to the State of California to cause cancer.
NICKEL, METAL AND COMPOUNDS- IARC and NTP also state there is sufficient
evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals and humans. Ingestion may result in
damage to the testes. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer.
QUINACRIDONES- Overexposure may cause dermatitis. Pigment contains a compound
found to be a skin, eye and respiratory irritant.
TITANIUM DIOXIDE- Listed by IARC under category 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans.
ZINC- Overexposure may result in fever, chills, muscular pain or nausea. WARNING: DO
NOT SPRAY APPLY-This product contains cadmium, a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer.

SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
5
EYE CONTACT: Flush with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if any symptoms
persist.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash with soap and water. Seek medical
attention if any symptoms persist.
INHALATION: Remove subject to fresh air. Seek medical attention if any symptoms persist.
INGESTION: If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention. If
vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep victims head below hips to prevent vomit from entering
lungs.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: 41 C / 106 F METHOD USED: SFCC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME: LOWER: .9% est. UPPER: 6% est.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, water spray, foam or dry chemical
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective clothing. Use water spray to cool containers
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Decomposition and combustion products
may be toxic.
SECTION 6 ?ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Avoid excessive inhalation and skin contact. Eliminate ignition sources. Contain spill. Transfer
material to container for recovery or disposal. Transfer contaminated soil or other material to
separate container for disposal. Keep spills and cleaning runoffs from entering municipal sewers
and open bodies of water.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Maximum storage temperature: 60 C / 140 F. Minimum storage temperature: -18 C / 0 F. Limit
storage of combustible materials to approved areas. Ground all containers when transferring
materials.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: For nuisance levels of vapor or inadequate ventilation, an
organic vapor respirator is appropriate. If spraying or sanding, wear a NIOSH approved respirator
for dust, mists and organic vapor
VENTILATION: Explosion proof local exhaust ventilation at the point of release is
recommended.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Nitrile or other solvent resistant gloves.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Safety glasses with splash protection
or goggles

SECTION 9 - PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
BOILING POINT: 154 C / 309 F (initial)
VAPOR DENSITY: Heavier than air
SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Negligible
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Clear, hazy or colored medium ?mineral spirit odor
SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY: Stable
INCOMPATIBILITY: May react with strong oxidizers
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS: Paynes Gray, Ultramarine Blue and
Ultramarine Violet may react with acids to form flammable and toxic hydrogen sulfide. Acid
decomposition of cadmium pigments may yield hydrogen sulfide, selenide gases and toxic
cadmium salts in solution. If cadmiums are heated to above 800oC, decomposition to toxic fumes
of cadmium oxide, zinc oxide, sulfur dioxide and selenium dioxide will occur. Thermal
decomposition may yield oxides of carbon and nitrogen and monomer fumes

Dermal LD50 - rabbit: 3160 mg/kg
Eye Irritation ?rabbit: substantial
Skin Irritation ?rabbit: moderate
SECTION 12 ?ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Not readily biodegradable. No other data available.
SECTION 13 ?DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
It is best to use all material rather than dispose of it. When discarded as supplied, material is a
hazardous waste. If necessary, dispose of product in accordance with local regulations for solvent-
based/ignitable materials. Dried material does not pose hazard of ignition.
Based on EPA TCLP (metals solubility), Cadmium and Cobalt Turquoise pigmented paints should
be treated as hazardous wastes.
