Medical Conditions Recognized as Being Aggravated by Exposure:
Persons with preexisting respiratory, liver, kidney, eye or skin diseases may be adversely affected.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical
attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash off with soap and water. Obtain medical attention.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing
becomes difficult.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Slowly dilute with 1-2 glasses of water or milk and seek medical attention. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General fire and explosion characteristics: Flammable.
Recommended Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical, foam
Flash point: 24癋 (4.4癈) Method: SETA CC
Lower Explosive Upper Explosive
Limit: 1.8% Limit: 10% (MEK)
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Firefighters shoud wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to
prevent all skin and eye contact. Use water spray to cool exposed containers.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards:
Closed containers may rupture or explode when exposed to extreme heat.
Hazardous Products of Combustion:
Oxides of carbon
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill Control: Avoid personal contact. Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate area.
Containment: Dike, contain and absorb with clay, sand or other suitable material
Cleanup: For large spills, pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or
other suitable material and dispose of properly.
Special procedures: Prevent spill from entering drainage/sewer systems, waterways and surface water. Collect run-off
water and transfer to drums or tanks for later disposal. Notify local health authorities and other appropriate agencies if
such contamination occurs. Use non-sparking tools.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling precautions: Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Ground container when pouring. Do not use near heat, sparks and open flame. Use non-sparking tools. Provide
appropriate ventilation/respiratory protection against decomposition products (see Section 10) during welding/flame cutting
operations and to protect against dust during sanding/grinding of cured product.
Storage: Store away from heat, sparks or open flame. Do not store at temperatures above 120 degrees F. Keep
containers closed when not in use. Maintain air space in storage containers.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls:
Ventilation:
General; local exhaust ventilation as necessary to control any air contaminants to within their exposure limits (or to the
lowest feasible levels when limits have not been established) during the use of this product.
Other engineering controls: Have emergency shower and eye wash available. Observe label precautions. Keep
container tightly closed.
Personal protective equipment
Eye and face protection: Safety glasses with side shields
Skin protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (i.e. butyl) and other gear as required to prevent skin contact.
Respiratory protection: An approved respirator (i.e.NIOSH, etc.) should be worn when exposures are expected to
exceed the applicable limits.
