The information listed below is based on the individual components of this mixture.
Potential Hea lth Effects:
Routes of Entry : Skin Contact - Yes Skin Absorption -Yes Inhalation - Yes
? May be irritation to the nose throat and respiratory tract. Heating, spraying, foaming, or
Inhalation:
otherwise mechanically dispersing (drumming, venting or pumping) operations of this blend
may generate more vapor or aerosol concentrations of its components. Overexposure may cause
central nervous system depression resulting in dizziness, headaches, nausea, loss of balance and
coordination.
? May be m oderately irritating to the skin. Repeated expo sure may result in skin sensitization
Skin Conta ct:
producing rashes and hives. May be absorbed through skin.
? Liquid or vapor m ay cause severe irritation to the eyes.
Eye C ontact:
? Material may be toxic if swallowed. May cause damage to the liver, kidney, and the optic nerve.
Ingestion:
? Prolonged breathing of dust above the T LV m ay lead to reduced p ulmonary function or pneumonconiosis.

Section V - Fire Fighting Measures
80癋, (SCC) NFPA Combustible Class III B
Flash Point:
NDA
Auto ignition Temperature:
NDA Toxic fumes are released in fire situations.
Flammable Limits (STP):
Explosion Info: Sensitive to static discharge and impact.
Fire Degradation Products: Combustion may produce formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and unidentified
organic compounds.
Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, halogenated agents or water. Use cold water spray to cool fire-exposed containers
to minimize risk of rupture. A solid stream of water directed into the hot burning liquid could cause frothing. If possible, contain fire
run-off water.
Protective Equipment: Positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus with full face-piece and full protective clothing should be worn by
fire-fighters.
Section VI - Accidental Release Measures
Isolate and confine spill area. Remove all sources of flames, heating elements, gas engines, etc. Emergency clean-up personnel should
Spill:
select the specific respirator based on contamination levels found and wear chemical goggles, rubber or plastic gloves and clothing as
required to protect against contact. Prevent spreading and contamination of surface waters and drinking supplies. Notify local health
officials and other appropriate agencies if such contamination should occur.
Clean up: With adequate ventilation and appropriate personal protective equipment, cover the area with an inert absorbent material such as clay
or vermiculite and transfer to steel waste containers. The spill area should then be washed down with soap and water to dilute and remove
remaining traces of material. Ventilate area to remove the remaining vapors.
Disposal: Any disposal practice must be in compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations. Chemical additions, processing or
otherwise altering this material may make the waste management information presented in this MSDS incomplete, inaccurate or otherwise
inappropriate. Waste characterization and disposal compliance are the responsibility solely of the party generating the waste or deciding
to discard or dispose of the material.
Container Disposal: Empty containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, or expose such
containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. All containers should be disposed of in an
environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations.
Section VII - Storage and Handling
Storage: When stored between 15 and 30癈 (60 and 85癋) in sealed containers, typical shelf life is 6 months or more from the date of manufacture.
Consult technical data sheet for shelf life requirements affecting performance quality. Opened containers must be handled properly to
prevent moisture pickup.
Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact. Use personal protective equipment when transferring material to or from drums, totes or other containers.
Additional precautions must be used when splash hazards are present. If contamination with epoxies is suspected, do not reseal containers.
Do not smoke or use naked lights, open flames, space heaters, or other ignition sources near pouring, frothing or spraying operations.
Section VIII - Exposure Control
Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended when working with this product. Uses requiring heating and/or spraying may require more
ventilation or personal protective equipment.
Respiratory Protection: The specific respirator selected must be based on contamination levels of this blend found in the workplace and must
not exceed the working limits of the respirator and be jointly approved by NIOSH and MSHA. In areas of high concentrations, fresh air-
line respirators or self-contained breathing apparatus should be used. A positive pressure self contained breathing apparatus can be used
in emergencies or other unusual situations.
Eye Protection: Fitted chemical goggles or full face shield and safety glasses must be used consistent with splash hazard present. If vapor exposure
causes eye discomfort, use a full face-piece respirator or supplied air hood.
Protective Clothing: Wear clothing, boots and gloves resistant to permeation of product. Materials may include butyl rubber, nitrile rubber,
neoprene and Saranex?coated Tyvek?
Other Protective Equipment: An eyewash station and safety shower or other drenching facilities are recommended in the work area.
