Section 3 ?Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview: This material is cloudy beige colored liquid coating used to secure teeth
in denture model. It has an alcohol type order and flashpoint of 60deg
F.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Inhalation
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Eye: May cause eye irritation
Skin: May cause skin irritation
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed
Inhalation: Vapors may be irritating to eyes and respiratory tract. May cause CNS
depression.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Signs and Symptoms: Chronic exposures may result in irritation to mucous membranes,
headache, drowsiness, CNS depression, and /or liver damage.
Section 4 ?First Air Measures
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water
Ingestion: If the person is conscious and able to swallow have them drink water to
dilute. Call a poison control center, physician, or emergency room.
Inhalation: If exposed to excessive levels of vapor or mist, remove to fresh air. Seek
medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop.
Section 5 璅ire Fighting Measures
Flash Point(method): 60 deg. F
Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemicals, "alcohol resistant" foam, or carbon dioxide.
Water may be ineffective but water applied as a spray can absorb
some of the fire's heat and should be used to keep fire-exposed
containers cool.

Protection of Firefighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure
demand, NIOSH and full protective gear. Evacuate area and fight
fire from safe distance.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixture with air
Section 6 ?Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Avoid skin contact. Avoid breathing vapors. Wash hands before eating.
Clean Up Methods: Keep unnecessary people away. Remove all sources of ignition. Dike and
contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer liquid to containers for recovery
or disposal. Keep spill out of sewer and open bodies of water. Floors may be slippery: care
should be exercised to avoid falls. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches that lead to
waterways.
Section 7 ?Handling and Storage
Handling: Keep away from heat, spark and flame. Keep operating temperatures below
ignition temperatures at all times. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin
and clothing.
Storage: Store away from heat. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep containers
tightly closed and upright when not in use. Protect against physical damage.
Section 8 ?Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use general room dilution ventilation, process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Eye Protection: Where contact is likely, wear chemical slash goggles and/or full-face
shield.
Skin Protections: Where contact is likely, wear chemical resistant gloves and protective
clothing to prevent skin contact.
Respiratory Protection: Where vapor levels exceed allowable exposure limits, wear a
NIOSH approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge.
General Hygiene Practices: Avoid eye and skin contact. Avoid breathing vapors. Wash hands
before eating and drinking. Do not smoke while using this material.
