3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Opaque, Tan Liquid . Mild, Solvent Odor. May Cause Eye Irritation. May cause irritation to the skin and
respiratory tract.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for Toxicological Information)
PRIMARY ROUTE(s) OF EXPOSURE: X Eye X Skin Contact Skin Absorption
X Inhalation X Ingestion
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE
EYES: May cause eye irritation. Symptoms may include redness and pain.
SKIN: May cause mild skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness.
INHALATION: High concentrations of vapor or mist may cause nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms may include coughing
and a burning sensation in the nose and throat.
INGESTION: May cause mild mouth, throat and stomach irritation. Symptoms may include nausea.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Prolonged or repeated contact can cause defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin

WATERTHANE 701 Water-Based Oil-Modified Urethane
irritation and dermatitis (rash).
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: May aggravate pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory conditions.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids apart. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at
least 15 minutes. Do not put any medication in the victim's eyes unless instructed by a physician. Get medical attention.
SKIN: Flush with water, then wash with soap and water. Remove saturated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen (by trained personnel only). Get
medical attention if symptoms persist.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Drink large quantities of water. Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT AND METHOD: > 93癈 (200癋)TCC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS Not applicable.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Normal products of combustion (carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) and irritating or toxic
vapors and gases.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Product may spatter when temperature exceeds boiling point. Polymer film can burn.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Evacuate area. Containers of this material may build up pressure if exposed to heat. Use water spray to
cool fire-exposed containers. MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear should be worn.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not Applicable.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
See Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 3, Hazard Identification. Floors may be slippery. Use care to avoid falling.
Ventilate spill area. Contain and isolate spill. Keep non-essential personnel from entering spill area. Use mop, absorbent, or wet vacuum to collect
material for proper disposal. Rinse area with water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Follow label use directions. Do not mix with other chemicals unless instructed by label directions. Avoid contact with skin, eyes
and clothing. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash
clothing and equipment before reuse.
STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use. Keep from freezing. Store away from incompatible materials. (See Section 10, Stability and
Reactivity).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
EYE: Where eye contact is possible, wear safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 approved).
SKIN: Where skin contact is possible, butyl rubber or neoprene gloves should be worn. When additional skin contact is possible, other
protective equipment and clothing (e.g., footwear) may be needed.
RESPIRATORY: No respiratory protection is required if general room ventilation is adequate and airborne concentrations are kept below
exposure limits. When exposure limits are exceeded, use appropriate respiratory protection (NIOSH/MSHA) to prevent overexposure.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate. Local exhaust ventilation (e.g., fans) may be necessary

when general ventilation does not keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits. The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) have
established a workplace exposure level of 10ppm (TWA) for n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.
