SECTION-3 PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Boiling Point: 206 F - 343 F Specific Gravity: 1.104-1.2185 Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): NE
Percent Volatile by Volume: 68 Vapor Density (Air =1): Heavier Evaporation Rate (Ether=1):Slower
Solubility in Water: 68% Reactivity in Water: None Appearance: Pigmented liquid
VOC: 1.15 lbs/gal VOC (less water): 2.76 lbs/gal Odor: mild ether odor
Flammability Classification: OSHA: Combustible DOT: Not Regulated
HMIS: Health 2; Flammability 1; Reactivity 1
SECTION-4 FIRE & EXPLOSION DATA
Flash Point: 155?F 68?C Method Used: TCC Auto-Ignition Temperature: NE
Extinguisher Media: NFPA Class B (CO2, Dry Chemical, Foam)
Flammable Limits in Air % by volume: LEL Lower: NE UEL Upper: NE
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Water spray may be ineffective on fire but can protect fire fighters
and cool containers to prevent pressure buildup. Use fog nozzles if water is used. Full protective
equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus, is recommended.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: When heated above the flash point, emits flammable vapors
which, when mixed with air, can burn or be explosive. Fine mists or sprays may be flammable at
temperatures below the flash point. Closed containers may explode if exposed to extreme heat.
SECTION-5 PHYSICAL HAZARDS (REACTIVITY DATA)
Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Keep away from heat, sparks, electrical equipment and open flame.
Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Acids, alkalis, strong oxidizing agents.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
SECTION-6 HEALTH HAZARDS
Acute Overexposure:
Skin: May cause irritation. Other effects of skin contact include defatting leading to dermatitis
and dehydration.
Eye: May cause eye irritation with moderate to severe redness, swelling and some corneal injury
lasting several days to a week.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation and central nervous system effects including
headache and nausea.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed.
Notice: Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful
or fatal. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents
with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Chronic Overexposure:
Repeated overexposure to this product may cause central nervous system damage, lung damage,
liver and kidney damage.
Exposure to experimental animals via inhalation, skin absorption, or ingestion produces a toxic
effect on red blood cells. This was often associated with secondary effects such as spleen and liver
enlargement and nephropathy. Studies show that hemolysis and secondary effects are not relevant
to humans.
Carcinogenicity:
Based on an IARC conclusion that there is "sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the
carcinogenicity of carbon black" and inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity in humans, IARC's
overall evaluation is that "carbon black is possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B).
Carbon black has not been listed as a carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), or
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The National Institute of Occupational
Safety & Health (NIOSH) criteria document on carbon black recommends that only carbon blacks
with PAH (polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons) levels greater than 0.1% be considered suspect
carcinogens. The carbon black pigment used in this product contains less than 0.1% PAH.
SECTION-7 FIRST AID
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if necessary. Consult a physician.
Eye Contact: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. If irritation persists, consult a physician.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately. Have the names of ingredients
available.
SECTION-8 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Observe label precautions. Keep away form heat, sparks and flame. Close container after each use.
Ground containers when pouring. Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating or smoking. Do
not store above 120 degrees F. Do not flame cut, saw, braze or weld containers. Empty containers
may contain hazardous product residues. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
SECTION-9 SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

PRECISIONCOATINGS
WR6 Water Reducible Enamel
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Remove all sources of ignition. Isolate
from oxidizers. Ventilate area. Remove with inert materials and non-sparking tools.
Waste disposal methods: Dispose in accordance with all Federal, State and Local regulations.
SECTION-10 SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION/CONTROL MEASURES
Do not breathe vapors or mists. Wear an appropriate, properly fitted respirator (NIOSH/MSHA
approved) during application and handling unless air monitoring demonstrates vapor/mist levels
below applicable limits. Follow respirator manufacturer's recommendations for selection and use.
Ventilation: Provide sufficient ventilation to keep vapor concentration below the given TLV and/or
PEL.
Protective clothing: Solvent resistant gloves are required for prolonged or repeated contact. Refer
to safety equipment supplier for effective glove recommendations.
Use safety goggles or safety glasses with splash guards or side shields to protect against splash
of liquids.
Other protective equipment such as eye bath and shower should be available. Use chemical
resistant apron, boots or other clothing if needed to avoid repeated or frequent contact. Liquid may
penetrate shoes and leather causing delayed irritation.
SECTION-11 REGULATORY INFORMATION

Standard.
