Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation, Skin, Ingestion
Carcinogenicity?: No
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): Note: Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling fumes may be harmful or fatal.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: (Short Term): May cause headache and nausea. Irritation of the respiratory tract or central nervous
system depression characterized by the following progressive steps: headache, dizziness, staggering gait, confusion, unconsciousness
or coma.
CHRONIC (Long Term): May cause respiratory sensitization, liver or kidney damage. May cause skin sensitization. Permanent central
nervous system, liver, kidney, blood, eyes.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY EXPOSURE: Respiratory allergies. Chronic diseases of the skin, nose,
throat and lungs, central nervous system, liver, kidney, blood eyes.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION: Move person to fresh air. Restore breathing. Treat symptomatically. Consult a physician.
SPLASH (EYES): Flush eyes immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Take to a physician for medical
treatment. SPLASH (SKIN): Wash affected areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Consult a physician if irritation
persists. INGESTION: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Treat
symptomatically.

Fire and Explosion Hazard Data (Continued from Section VI on Page 1)
Extinguishing Media: Foam, Dry Chemical or Carbon Dioxide.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use supplied-air breathing equipment for enclosed areas. Cool exposed
containers with water spray. Minimize breathing vapors or fumes.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Do not mix or store with strong oxidants such as liquid chlorine or
concentrated oxygen. "Empty" product containers retain product residue. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld,
or expose such containers to flame; they may explode and cause injury or death.
Section VII: Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Remove all sources of ignition
(flame, hot surfaces, and electrical static or frictional sparks). Avoid breathing vapors. Use self contained
breathing equipment. Ventilate area. Contain and remove with inert absorbent material and non-sparking
tools. Avoid contact.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Disposal should be done in accordance with Federal (40CFR Part 261), state,
and local regulations. Before attempting clean-up, refer to hazard caution information in other sections of the
MSDS. Use a licensed hazardous waste disposal concern.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Do not store or use near heat or open
flame. Refer to OSHA 79CFR Part 1910.106 for specific storage requirements. Keep closure tight and
container upright to prevent leakage. Drums of this material should be grounded and bonded when pouring.
Do not weld or flame-cut an empty drum.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Do not get in eyes. Avoid skin contact. Can cause allergic respiratory reaction.
Can cause allergic skin reaction. Prevent prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor mists. Do not handle until
the manufacturer's safety precautions and label instructions have been read and understood. Avoid breathing
sanding dust.
Section VIII: Control Measures
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Wear respirator (MSHA/NIOSH-approved or equivalent) chemical/mechanical
filters designed to remove a combination of particulates and organic vapor in open and restricted ventilation
areas. Use MSHA/NIOSH-approved airline type respirators or hood in confined areas.
VENTILATION: Sufficient ventilation, in pattern and volume, should be provided to keep the air contaminant
concentration below applicable exposure limits. Heavy solvent vapors should be removed from the lower
levels of work area, and all ignition sources (non-explosion proof equipment) should be eliminated if flam-
mable/air mixtures will be encountered. All application areas should be ventilated in accordance with OSHA
regulation 29CFR Part 1910.94.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Impervious gloves should be worn if prolonged skin contact is likely. Use neoprene
or rubber gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact.
EYE PROTECTION: Use safety eyewear including side shields, face shields, or chemical splash goggles
(ANSIZ-87.1 or approved equivalent).
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Use disposable or impervious clothing if work clothing contamination is
likely. Use protective cream if prolonged skin contact is likely. Use full face shield, apron, or other appropriate
equipment.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash hands before eating, smoking, or using the washroom. Do not smoke in any
chemical handling or storage area. Food or beverages should not be consumed anywhere this product is
being applied.
