containers. Wear breathing apparatus when fighting fire. Decomposition Products: Oxides of
Carbon, and possibly other noxious products.

MINOR - Extinguish naked flames,and avoid sparks. Absorb with sand, sawdust or earth. Collect in
drums, and cover with water for 24 hours, before arranging for disposal by a competent contractor
in accordance with local and national regulations. MAJOR - Extinguish naked flames and avoid
sparks. Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment.Evacuate surrounding personnel. Dike
area of spill, and transfer to empty drums. Residue to be absorbed with sand, sawdust or earth, and
placed in drums. Cover with water for 24 hours before arranging for disposal by a competent
contractor, in accordance with local and national regulations.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1
Avoid sources of heat, naked flames and sparks. Use in well ventilated area. Use flame proof
equipment. Earth all containers to reduce the possibility of sparks from static electricity. Store in a
cool,well ventilated place away from heat, naked flames and sparks. Store away from oxidising
agents, alkaline materials and strong acids. Keep container closed at all times. Keep away from
food, drink and clothing.

8.2 Engineering Controls
Use a ventilated booth fitted with an effective filtered exhaust system. General mechanical
ventilation or local exhaust should be suitable to keep vapour concentrations below TLV. Ventilation
equipment should be explosion proof.
8.3 Personal Protection
When mixed with hardener this material will contain free organic isocyanate. All mixing and
handling of hardener and paint containing hardener must be carried out under working conditions
that prevent skin contact or inhalation of vapours. Wear chemical safety glasses/goggles or
faceshield. If spraying, an air-supplied hood or respirator must be used (complying with Australian
Standard 1716 - Respiratory Protective Devices, or equivalent). The spray booth area should be
isolated from other people while spraying is in progress, and until all spray mist has been effectively
dispersed. If applying by brush or roller, a half face respirator with organic vapour cartridge may be
used instead of air-supplied hood/respirator. Wear PVC or Nitrile chemical handling gloves.

SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
11.1 Health Effects
Swallowed
Slightly toxic. Main hazard of ingestion is aspiration of swallowed liquid into lungs, causing chemical
pneumonitis.
Eye Contact
Irritating, causing redness and burning sensation.
Skin Contact
Irritating, causing redness and burning sensation.
Inhaled
Harmful by inhalation. The vapour is irritating to the upper respiratory tract. May cause nausea,
dizziness and narcosis. Extreme exposure may result in unconsciousness, and possibly death.
When catalysed with isocyanate hardener this product may cause lung irritation and asthma-like
respiratory reaction.
Chronic or Other
Prolonged and repeated contact with the skin may irritate, and cause dermatitis. Prolonged
overexposure to the solvents (inhalation and skin contact) may cause effects to the central nervous
system, liver, urinary, bloodforming, cardiovascular and reproductive systems. When catalysed, this
product will contain isocyanate. Overexposure to isocyanate,especially during spraying operations
without the necessary precautions, entails the risk of concentration dependent irritating effect on
eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract. Delayed appearance of the complaints and development of
hyper sensitivity (difficult breathing, coughing, asthma) are possible. Hyper sensitive persons may
suffer from these effects even at low isocyanate concentrations, including concentrations below
TLV. Chronic exposure to Lead may result in damage to bloodforming, urinary, nervous and
reproductive systems (incl. embryonic effects). Symptoms include abdominal pain, constipation,
loss of appetite, metallic taste, nausea, insomnia, nervous irritability, weakness, muscle & joint
pains, headache and dizziness. See section 3.2 for other chronic health risks.

Do not let this product enter the environment. Dispose of this material and its container as
hazardous waste. Do not pour unwanted paint or paint-related material down the drain. Keep
unwanted material in sealed containers for disposal via special chemical waste collections. Empty
paint containers should be left open in a well ventilated area to dry out. When dry, recycle steel
containers via steel can recycling programs. Disposal of empty paint containers via domestic
recycling programs may differ between local authorities. Check with your local council first.
