May cause irritation or burning of the eyes. Repeated and prolonged skin contact may cause skin irritation or dermatitis. In case of
eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; call a physician. In case of skin contact, wash with
soap and water. If irritation occurs, contact a physician.
INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Gastrointestinal distress. In the unlikely event of ingestion, call a physician immediately and have the names of all ingredients available.
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC)
ACUTE- Dizziness, irritation of the respiratory tract, weakness, nausea, or possible narcosis or even asphyxiation. May be accompanied by
coughing or labored breathing.
CHRONIC- Reports have linked organic solvents with brain and nervous system damage. Misuse of this product by deliberately
concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.

======== SECTION VII -PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE =========
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Remove all sources of ignition (sparks, flames, and hot surfaces). Avoid breathing vapors. Ventilate area. Remove with an inert absorbent and
non-sparking tools.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Dispose in accordance with state ,federal and local regulations. Do not incinerate closed containers.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from all possible ignition sources. Store large quantities of material in
buildings designed for the storage of flammable liquids.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Employees should be trained in safety measures that should be taken when using this product.
================== SECTION VIII -CONTROL MEASURES =====================
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist. Wear a properly fitted respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA (TC-23c) for use with paints during application
and until all vapors are exhausted. In confined areas, or where continuous spray operations are typical, or proper respirator fit is not possible,
wear a positive-pressure supplied air respirator (TC-19c). In all cases follow respirator manufactures directions for respirator use. Do not allow
anyone without protection into the painting area.
VENTILATION
Provide sufficient ventilation to keep contaminates below applicable OSHA requirements.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Neoprene gloves impervious to organic solvents are recommended.
EYE PROTECTION
Use safety eyewear designed to protect against liquid splash.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
Impervious coveralls are recommended.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Eye wash and safety showers in the work place are recommended. Wash hands before eating and smoking.
