Supplemental Health Hazard
Information:
IV. FIRST AID
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, have a trained individual administer
Inhalation:
oxygen. Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention immediately. Have a trained
individual administer himidified oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes retracting eyelids often. Tilt
Eyes:
the head to prevent chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated eye. Get
immediate medical attention. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least
20 minutes retracting eyelids often. Tilt the head to prevent chemical from
transferring to the uncontaminated eye. Get immediate medical attention and monitor
the eye daily as advised by your physician.

V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Summary:
o
53 (CALC.) F
Flash Point:
Empty containers that retain product residue (liquid, solid/sludge, or vapor) can be
Fire Hazards:
dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
container to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. Any of
these actions can potentially cause an explosion that may lead to injury or death.
Container may explode in heat of fire. Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that
form explosive mixtures at temperatures at or above the flash point. If product is
heated above its flash point it will release flammable vapors which can burn in the
open or be explosive in confined spaces if exposed to ignition source. Vapors may be
ignited by heat, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition at or above the low flash
point giving rise to a fire (Class B). Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a
source of ignition and flash back.
Use methods for the surrounding fire.Do not enter fire area without proper protection
Fire Fighting Instructions:
including self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Fight fire
from a safe distance and a protected location due to the potential of hazardous vapors
and decomposition products. Flammable component(s) of this material may be lighter
than water and burn while floating on the surface. Use water spray/fog for cooling.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide
VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow personal
Health Consideration for Spill
Response: protective equipment recommendations found in Section VIII of this MSDS.
Additional precautions may be necessary based on special circumstances created by
the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in which the
spill occurred. Also consider the expertise of employees in the area responding to the
spill.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the
Spill Mitigation Procedures
General Methods: environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and proper personal protective
equipment following the recommendation of Section VIII at a minimum. Dike with
suitable absorbent material like granulated clay. Gather and store in a sealed container
pending a waste disposal evaluation.
VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
M706-292 CLEAR SHELLAC Page 3 of 6
Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with material. Ground and bond
Handling:
containers when transferring material. Keep in air-tight containers- material is
hygroscopic. "Empty" containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can
be dangerous. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Harmful or irritating material. Avoid
contact and avoid breathing the material. Use only in a well ventilated area.
Do not store near combustible materials. Keep container closed when not in use. Keep
Storage:
away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a cool dry ventilated location. Isolate from
incompatible materials and conditions. Keep container(s) closed.
VIII. ENGINEERING CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Facilities storing or using this material should be equipped with an eyewash and
Engineering Controls:
safety shower. Explosion proof exhaust ventilation should be used. No exposure
limits exist for the constituents of this product. Use local exhaust ventilation or other
engineering controls to minimize exposures and maintain operator comfort.
Protective Equipment
Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and
Respiratory Tract:
safety professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29
CFR 1910.134) and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992). A
written respiratory protection program, including provisions for medical certification,
training, fit testing, exposure assessments, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and
convenient, sanitary storage should be implemented.
Wear chemically resistant safety glasses with side shields when handling this product.
Eyes:
Wear additional eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield
when the possibility exists for eye contact with splashing or spraying liquid, or
airborne material. Do not wear contact lenses. Have an eye wash station available.
Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves, an apron and other
Skin:
protective equipment depending upon conditions of use. Inspect gloves for chemical
break-through and replace at regular intervals. Clean protective equipment regularly.
Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating,
drinking, and when leaving work.
