SECTION 03 ?HAZARDS INDENTIFICATION:
ROUTES OF ENTRY INTO THE BODY (ACUTE EFFECTS):
Eyes: Direct contact may cause irritation.
Skin: May cause drying of the skin and mild irritation. Prolonged and repeated
skin contact may result in dermatitis.
Inhalation: May irritate nose, throat and respiratory passages.
Ingestion: Low ingestion hazard in normal use. Irritation may cause abdominal pain,
nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.
WHMIS HAZARD SYMBOL(S):
SECTION 04 - FIRST AID MEASURES:
Eyes: Flush with copious quantities of lukewarm water. Do not attempt to
physically remove the solids or gums from the eye. Seek medical attention
immediately.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with warm water and
non-abrasive soap. Seek medical attention if you feel ill or a reaction
develops.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and provide water. Seek medical attention if you feel ill
or a reaction develops.
Ingestion: Get medical attention.
SECTION 05 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:
Flammable Conditions: Avoid direct sources of heat or ignition in uncured state.
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, water fog or foam. Water can be used to
cool fire exposed containers

SECTION 06 ?ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
Containment / Clean Up: Restrict access to the area of the spill. Provide ventilation, NIOSH / MSHA
approved respirator and protective clothing. Scrape up caulk and place in
container for disposal. Cleaning may require steam or detergents.
Dispose of saturated absorbant or cleaning materials appropriately, since
spontaneous heating may occur. Local, state, provincial, federal laws and
regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material, as well as
those materials and items employed in the cleanup.
SECTION 07 ?HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Handling and Storage: Store in an adequately ventilated area under dry conditions between 50癋
(10癈) to 77癋 (25癈) and keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
KEEP FROM FREEZING.
SECTION 08 ?EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION:
Component Exposure Limits: Mineral Spirits (CAS# 64742-88-7): Provide adequate ventilation to control
exposures within the following exposure guidelines: ACGIH TLV: 100 ppm,
OSHA PEL: TWA 100 ppm.
Ammonium Hydroxide (CAS# 7664-41-7): Provide adequate ventilation to
control exposures within the following exposure guidelines: ACGIH TLV:
25 ppm, OSHA PEL: TWA 50 ppm.
Respiratory: No respiratory protection should be needed.
Ventilation: In indoor applications, passive ventilation (opening of doors and windows)
is recommended. Local exhaust as necessary to keep exposure levels
within guidelines.
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses with side-protection, impermeable gloves (e.g., neoprene,
nitrile, silver shield (R)), coveralls or apron are important in preventing
contamination of eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.

SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
Effects of overexposure: Overexposure may cause weaknesss and depress the central nervous
system.
Sensitization: No known applicable information.
Carcinogenicity: Product contains trace amounts of residual Formaldehyde (CAS# 50-00-0).
OSHA & NTP identify Formaldehyde as a potential carcinogen. IARC
identifies Formaldehyde as a human carcinogen. Formaldehyde has been
shown to cause mutations in a variety of in-vitro test systems, w/ human
significance unknown. Rats have shown carcinogenic effects in respiratory
system. Risk should be minimal when used w/ adequate ventilation.
Maintain adequate ventilation to prevent exposure above OSHA exposure
limits. Product also contains trace amounts of Acrylonitrile (CAS# 107-13-1).
It is exempt from OSHA Acrylonitrile Standard 29 CFR 1910.1045.
Acrylonitrile has been classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to
humans, by OSHA as carcinogenic & by NTP as anticipated to be a human
carcinogen.
Reproductive Toxicity: No known applicable information.
Teratogenicity: No known applicable information.
Mutagenicity: No known applicable information.
Synergistic Products: No known applicable information.
