Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Water spray may be ineffective. Water may be used to cool closed containers
to prevent pressure buildup and possible autoignition or explosion when exposed to extreme heat. If water is used,
fog nozzles are preferable. Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: When this product is used, the overspray and other combustible materials
such as paint booth filters, paint scrapings, rags, masking materials, etc., contaminated with coating material can
present a spontaneous combustion hazard if they are not handled and disposed of properly. Wetting the contaminated
materials thoroughly with water after use and placing them into a sealed metal refuse or waste container without

packing them tightly will minimize the potential for spontaneous combustion. Keep this product away from heat,
sparks, flame, and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors, static electricity.) Invisible vapors can
travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Do not smoke while using this product. Keep containers tightly closed
when not in use. Closed containers may explode when overheated. Do not apply to hot surfaces. Toxic gases may
form when this product comes in contact with extreme heat.

monoxide, low molecular weight polymer fractions, oxides of aluminum Extreme heats includes, but is not
limited to, flame, cutting, brazing, and welding.

SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation (Y) Skin (Y) Eye (Y) Ingestion (Y)
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): Inhalation ?Vapor and/or spray mist may be harmful if inhaled. Vapor
irritates eyes, nose, and throat. Repeated exposure to high vapor concentrations may cause irritation of the respiratory
system and permanent brain and nervous system damage. Skin ?May cause moderate skin irritation. Eye ?This
product contains a material which causes irreversible eye damage. Ingestion ?Harmful if swallowed. Chronic:
Avoid long-term and repeated contact. Additional Chronic Exposure information at the end of this MSDS.
Carcinogenicity: Ethylbenzene NTP (Y) IARC Monographs (2B) OSHA Regulated (N)
Carcinogenicity: Carbon Black NTP (N) IARC Monographs (2B) OSHA Regulated (N)
Carcinogenicity: Remaining Components: NTP (N) IARC Monographs (N) OSHA Regulated (N)
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Eye watering, headache, dizziness, nausea, and loss of coordination are
indications that solvent levels are too high. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents
can be harmful or fatal. Redness, itching, burning sensation, and visual disturbances may indicate excessive eye
contact. Dryness, itching, cracking, burning, redness, and swelling are conditions associated with excessive skin
contact.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: N/A
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Inhalation ?Remove victim from area to fresh air. Skin ?Remove
contaminated clothing. Run a gentle stream of water over the affected area for 15 minutes. A mild soap may be used
if available. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Eye ?Remove contact lens and pour a gentle stream of
warm water through the affected eye for at least 15 minutes. Ingestion ?Gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth
with water. Sips of water may be given. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Note: If ingestion, irritation, any type of overexposure or symptoms of overexposure occur or persists after use of
this product, contact a poison control center, emergency room or physician immediately as further treatment may be
necessary; have Material Safety Data Sheet available.
SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Provide maximum ventilation. Only
personnel equipped with proper respiratory, skin, and eye protection should be permitted in the area.
Remove all sources of ignition. Take up spilled material with sand, vermiculite, or other noncombustible
absorbent material and place in clean, empty containers for disposal. Only the spilled material and the
absorbent should be placed in this container.
Waste Disposal Method: Waste material must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state, and local
environmental control regulations. Empty containers should be recycled or disposed of through an
approved waste management facility.

SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE ?cont
Precautions to be taken in Handling and Storing: Do not store above 120癋. Store large quantities in
buildings designed and protected for storage of NFPA Class IC flammable liquids. Keep away from heat,
sparks, and open flame.
Other Precautions: KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN!
SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): A NIOSH-approved air purifying respirator with appropriate
chemical cartridges or a positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator my also reduce exposure.
Ventilation: Local Exhaust (Preferable) Mechanical (N/D) ?General exhaust in volume and pattern to
keep the concentration of ingredients listed in Section II below the lowest suggested exposure limits, the
LEL below the stated limit, and to remove decomposition products during welding or flame cutting.
Protective Gloves: Gloves should be constructed of nitrile rubber.
Eye Protection: Wear chemical-type splash goggles or full face shield when possibility exists for eye
contact due to splashing or spraying liquid, airborne particles, or vapors. .
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Wear protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Apron
should be constructed of nitrile rubber. Launder soiled clothing before reuse.
Work/Hygiene Practices: Always follow good housekeeping and personal hygiene practices.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Mercury Marine Emergency Information Number: 920-929-5000
Manufacturer, PPG Industries Inc., Emergency Number: 304-843-1300
Chronic Exposure (cont):
* This product contains titanium dioxide. Animals inhaling massive quantities of titanium dioxide dust in a long-
term study developed lung tumors. Studies with humans involved in manufacture of this pigment indicate no
increased risk of cancer from exposure. Potential for inhalation of titanium dioxide dusts from coatings is very
limited. Since overexposures are not expected, there is not significant hazard for humans.
* This product contains methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). MEK has been shown to cause minor embryotoxic/fetotoxic
effects in laboratory animals exposed for prolonged periods at high concentrations via inhalation. The potential for
human exposure to high concentrations is expected to be low due to the irritating effects of MEK at low
concentrations.
* This product contains toluene. Toluene inhalation in animals (greater than 1500ppm) and intentional inhalation of
toluene-containing products by humans (e.g. glue) has caused adverse fetal development effects.
* This product contains carbon black which has been rated as an IARC 2B carcinogen due to animal data.
* Ethylbenzene has been reported by NTP to cause cancer in laboratory animals following a chronic (2 year)
inhalation exposure. Carcinogenicity was found in the kidneys of rats and the lung and liver of mice at the
750ppm dose level. The No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was 75ppm.
* The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated ethylbenzene and classified it as a possible
human carcinogen (Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental animals, but
inadequate evidence for cancer in exposed humans.
* High exposure to xylenes in some animal studies has been reported to cause health effects on the developing
embryo and fetus. These effects were often at levels toxic to the mother. The significance of these findings to
humans has not been determined.
