Section 3 Hazard Identification
Product Overview: This material is a wall paint. It is a stable, non-flammable, flowable liquid
with a flashpoint above 200?Fahrenheit.
Primary Routes of Exposure:
Eye Contact
Skin Contact
Inhalation
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation. Absorption through skin contact not
considered a significant route of exposure.
Ingestion: Although ingestion not considered a significant route of exposure, Gastrointestinal
irritation and nausea may occur if swallowed.
N/A: Not Applicable N/D: Not Determined N/E: Not Established N/R: Not Required Est.: Estimated
PermaGuard MSDS (1-11-06) page 1 of 6 pages.
Inhalation: Although inhalation is not considered a significant route of exposure, high vapor
concentrations may cause respiratory irritation.
Potential Chronic Health Effects: None known.
(See also Sections 4, 8, and 11 for related information)
Section 4 First Aid Measures
Eye contact: Flush eye with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin contact: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion: If swallowed, call a physician or poison control center.
Inhalation: No specific treatment is necessary since this material is not likely to be hazardous
by inhalation. If exposed to excessive levels of vapor, remove victim to fresh air and seek medical
attention if cough or other symptoms develop.
Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures
The liquid material will not burn. However, the dried paint film may burn in a fire.
Flash Point (method): >200?F.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, or carbon dioxide when fighting fires
involving this material.
Protection of Firefighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure
demand mode and full protective gear.
Section 6 Accidental Release Measures
Clean Up Methods: Keep unnecessary people away. Dike and contain spill with inert material
(sand, earth, etc.). Transfer liquid to containers for recovery or disposal, or absorb with absorbent
materials and place into containers for disposal. Keep spill out of sewer and open bodies of
water. Floors may be slippery; care should be exercised to avoid falls during clean up operations.
(See also Section 8 for information on Exposure Controls and Personal Protective Equipment)
Section 7 Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
N/A: Not Applicable N/D: Not Determined N/E: Not Established N/R: Not Required Est.: Estimated
PermaGuard MSDS (1-11-06) Page 2 of 6 pages.
Storage: Keep from freezing. Keep container closed when not in use.
Section 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: If exposure conditions warrant, use mechanical local exhaust
ventilation or general dilution ventilation to reduce vapor concentrations.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses or face shield to prevent eye and face contact.
Skin Protection: Wear gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact.
Respiratory Protection: None required under normal, intended use conditions. If vapor
exposure causes discomfort and in areas of poor ventilation wear NIOSH approved respirator.
Protective Clothing: For brief contact, no special precautions other than clean body-covering
clothing should be needed. When prolonged or frequent repeated contact with the material could
occur, use protective clothing that is impervious to this material (such as tyvek).
General Hygiene Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling. Prevent Eye contact. Avoid
prolonged skin or inhalation contact.
