FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME- LOWER: 1.4 UPPER: 11.2
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: FOAM, CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, WATER FOG
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Use full protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus. Use
water spray, preferably fog, to cool closed containers to prevent pressure build-up and possible explosion. Direct water
stream is not recommended for oil base fires. Product may float and reignite on surface of water. Do not allow product
or runoff from fire control to enter storm or sanitary sewers, lakes, rivers, streams or waterways.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Dangerous air-vapor mixtures may form and ignite when exposed to sparks or flame from pilot lights, stoves, heaters,
electric motors, static discharge or other sources of ignition. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the
ground to distant locations if inadequately ventilated. Free falling streams of liquid may cause static electricity
build-up and create fire hazard.

=== SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA AND SYMPTOMS OF UNPROTECTED EXPOSURE ===
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF EXPOSURE: Inhalation, skin contact, ingestion.
INHALATION:
Vapors and mists may cause severe irritation to nose, throat and lungs (burning, stinging, coughing). May cause
headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness, shortness of breath and loss of coordination. Intentional misuse by deliberately
concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Exposure to extremely high vapor concentrations may
cause unconsciousness and asphyxiation. Always wear a NIOSH approved respitator with functioning organic vapor
cartridges and provide adequate ventilation at the jobsite during and after application. If formaldehyde concentrations
are unknown, use formaldehyde specific cartridges.
EYE CONTACT:
Corrosive! Contact with liquid or vapors causes severe irritation (redness, watering, itching, stinging, blurred vision)
possible burns and cornea damage.
SKIN CONTACT:
Contact may cause severe irritation (dryness, itching, cracking, rash and swelling) and possible burns.
SKIN ABSORPTION:
May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Symptoms may include headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness, loss
of coordination.
SWALLOWING:
Causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and central nervous system depression (headache, dizziness, giddiness, nausea, loss of
coordination). Corrosive! Causes burns. May be harmful or fatal.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM LONG TERM UNPROTECTED EXPOSURE:
Contains ingredients suspected of causing or known to cause damage to:kidneys, liver, eyes, blood
cell abnormalities, possible hearing loss, dermatitis or other skin disorders, Always wear appropriate
respiratory, eye and skin protection during use. Ventilate well during and after application.
CARCINOGEN:
NTP CARCINOGEN: No IARC MONOGRAPHS: No OSHA REGULATED: No
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY UNPROTECTED EXPOSURE:
Respiratory tract irritation, nausea, eye disorders, skin disorders, sensitization to chemical substances.
============= SECTION VII - EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES ============
INHALATION:
Remove from exposure to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give artificial
respiration. Keep person warm and quiet. Get medical attention immediately.
EYE CONTACT:
Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, while lifting upper and lower eyelids. Get
medical attention immediately.
SKIN CONTACT:
Immediately wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash or clean thoroughly before reuse. Get

medical attention if irritation persists.
SWALLOWING:
If person is conscious, give large quantities milk or water (mix with cornstarch if available). DO NOT induce vomiting.
Call Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) or physician immediately.
OTHER:
Have Material Safety Data Sheet available when calling Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) or physician; or when
going to the emergency room.
============ SECTION VIII - SAFE HANDLING AND USE INFORMATION =============
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headache or dizziness or if air
monitoring demonstrates vapor/mist levels are above applicable limits, wear an appropriate, properly fitted respirator
(NIOSH approved) during and after application. Follow respirator manufacturer's instructions for use.
VENTILATION:
USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. Provide the maximum ventilation jobsite conditions allow (including fans, open
doors, windows or other appropriate means of ventilation), to prevent vapor build-up.
HAND PROTECTION:
Wear impermeable acid-resistant gloves to prevent skin contact. Consult safety equipment supplier for specific
recommendations of construction material.
EYE PROTECTION:
Wear full face shield designed to protect eyes and skin from liquid splash and mists, unless full facepiece respirator
is worn. Note: Contact lenses may contribute to the severity of an eye injury and should not be worn when working with
chemicals.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT:
Wear protective clothing to avoid skin contact with liquid or mists.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES:
Eye washes and safety showers are recommended in the workplace. Wash hands after using and before eating, drinking or
using tobacco products. Thoroughly clean contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. Periodically monitor exposure
levels to hazardous ingredients listed in section II and review permissible limits.
================ SECTION IX - SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES =================
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Eliminate ignition sources and ventilate area. Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Wear full protective equipment. Dike and
contain spill with inert material. Transfer liquid to containers for disposal or recovery. Prevent material from
entering storm drains or sanitary sewers and open bodies of water.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Waste material and empty containers must be disposed of in accordance with all local, state and federal environmental
control regulations. Use only approved waste management facilities.
===================== SECTION X - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS =====================
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY!
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING:
Keep liquid and vapors away from heat, sparks and flame. Turn off or remove all sources of ignition. Use proper methods
of ventilation to prevent vapor build-up. Avoid contact with hot metal surfaces. When pouring large volumes, avoid free
fall of liquids in excess of a few inches to prevent static charge build-up. Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid contact with
eyes and skin. Do not take internally. Use adequate methods of ventilation, respiratory and personal protective
equipment. Do not reuse, weld, drill or heat empty containers which may contain explosive vapors. Follow label warnings
until thoroughly cleaned or sent for disposal. Do not remove or deface label. Do not transfer to unlabeled container.

OTHER CAUTIONS:
Keep container closed when not in use and during transit. Do not store above 120 deg. F (50 deg. C). Keep in upright
position and protect container from damage. When storing large quantites or when specified by local building or fire
codes, store in buildings or areas designed and protected for storage of products with this flammability rating. Do not
store where contact with incompatible material could occur, even during an accidental spill or release. Before using
two-component coatings, read the MSDS and label of both products. Mixtures will have hazards of both components.
