3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
This product is a tan viscous liquid. This product poses a serious fire hazard. This product may be irritating to the eyes
and respiratory system. Prolonged and/or repeated skin contact with this product may cause irritation, defatting of skin
and dermatitis.
EYE: This product may cause irritation to the eyes. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, and redness.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Fire fighters should wear full-face, self-contained breathing
apparatus and impervious protective clothing. Fire fighters should avoid inhaling any combustion products.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: Do not breathe vapors. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear the appropriate
personal protective equipment. See Section 8: Exposure Control/Personal Protection. Eliminate all sources of ignition or
flammables that may come into contact with a spill of this material. Contain the discharged material. Stop the flow of
material, if this is without risk.

7. HANDLING & STORAGE
HANDLING: Very large quantities of these packages, if mishandled, may accumulate enough liquid or vapor to cause a
flammable atmosphere. Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along the floor. Keep containers tightly closed.
DO NOT eat, drink or smoke in product area. Wash thoroughly after handling.
STORAGE: Eliminate all sources of static electricity, heat, and ignition. Use only explosion-proof equipment. Store in a
cool, dry place. Keep packaged in original, labeled containers until use. Do not remove or deface label. Do not reuse
container without recycling or reconditioning in accordance with any Federal, Provincial, State or local laws. Do not use
cutting or welding torches, open flames, or electric arcs on empty or full containers. DO NOT eat, drink or smoke in
product area.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain worker exposure below
exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTRECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses. Contact lenses should not be exposed. Wear chemical goggles; face
shield (if splashing is possible). If vapor exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use impervious gloves. Use of impervious apron and boots are recommended.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Respiratory protection; not normally required for ambient air concentrations not
exceeding the Occupational Exposure Limit. When respiratory protection is required, wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full-face piece operated in a positive-pressure mode.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(s):
Phenol, 4-isocyanato-, phosphorothioate (3:1) (ester) (4151-51-3) has no government established guideline. Manufacturer
recommended exposure limit is 0.005 ppm TWA and 0.02 ppm STEL.
Component Exposure Limits
REMA TIP/TOP USA recommends that its customers minimize employee exposure. REMA therefore suggests that its
customers consider adopting the lower of the current OSHA PEL or the ACGIH TLV's for the purpose of evaluating
employee exposures. The TLV's recommended by the ACGIH have been updated on a continuing basis.
