Section 3 Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview: This material is white colored liquid with a flash point greater than
200?F. It is a waterbased material paint used to beautify and protect decks and other wood
surfaces.
Primary Routes of Exposure:
Eye
Skin
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Eye: Contact may cause eye irritation.
Skin: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause irritation. May be absorbed through the skin
resulting in systemic effects.
Ingestion: Substance may be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: Avoid breathing vapors or mists. High vapor concentrations may be irritating to
the eyes, nose, throat and lungs.
N/A: Not Applicable N/D: Not Determined N/E: Not Established N/R: Not Required Est.: Estimated
MSDS Code: Wolman DecoWhite MSDS (1-11-06) Page 1 of 6 pages.
Potential Chronic Health Effects: None known
(See also Sections 4, 8, and 11 for related information)
Section 4 First Aid Measures
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention
if irritation persists.
Skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation
develops or persists.
Ingestion: If swallowed, Do Not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. Get
medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point (method): N/D (est. > 200 F).
Extinguishing Media: This material is not combustible under expected conditions of use.
Use methods applicable to surrounding area.
Protection of Firefighters: Not applicable.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Not applicable. Closed containers may explode (due to the
build-up of steam pressure) when exposed to extreme heat. Water could evaporate to expose a
combustible residue.
Section 6 Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid
contact with eyes and skin. Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas of use or storage.
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.

N/A: Not Applicable N/D: Not Determined N/E: Not Established N/R: Not Required Est.: Estimated
MSDS Code: Wolman DecoWhite MSDS (1-11-06) Page 2 of 6 pages.
Section 7 Handling and Storage
Handling: No special handling required. Observe good personal hygiene practices and
recommended procedures. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage: Keep in closed, labeled container within a cool, dry, and ventilated area. Protect
from physical damage. Keep from freezing. Maintain good housekeeping.
Section 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Not normally required. Provide sufficient general dilution
ventilation. Use local exhaust ventilation if the material is heated or aerosolized. Use local
exhaust ventilation and NIOSH approved respiratory protection when working in enclosed or
confined spaces.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Eye Protection: To avoid eye contact wear safety glasses. Use side shields, goggles and/or
face shield if splashing is possible.
Skin Protection: To avoid skin contact wear chemical-resistant flexible-type gloves
(neoprene, PVC, butyl, nitrile or similar).
Respiratory Protection: Not normally required. If ventilation does not maintain inhalation
exposure below the applicable occupational exposure limit or if applying with a sprayer use a
NIOSH approved respirator with organic vapor cartridge and N-95 prefilters. When wearing a
respirator always follow manufacturers "Instructions" and "Warnings".
Other Protective Clothing: Wear impervious apron and rubber boots to prevent skin contact.
General Hygiene Practices: Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reusing. To avoid
accidental ingestion, do not eat, drink, smoke, or apply cosmetics while handling this material.
