5. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: 0 - 6 篎 Lower Explosive Limit: 1.1 %by vol. Upper Explosive Limit: 11.8 %by vol
F.P. Method: TCC
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, CO2, or foam to extinguish fire. Cool fire exposed container with water. Water may be ineffective
as an extinguishing agent.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Firefighters should wear positive pressure self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing for fires in areas where
chemicals are used or stored.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Extremely flammable liquid. Keep away from heat and all sources of ignition including sparks, flames, lighted cigarettes and pilot
lights. containers may rupture or explode in the heat of a fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a remote ingition
source and flash back. This product contains Tetrahydrofuran that may form explosive organic peroxides when exposed to air or
light or with age. Combustion will produce toxic and irritating vapors including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
6. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Remove all sources of ignition and ventilate area. Stop leak if it can be done without risk. Prevent liquid from entering
watercourses, natural waterways, drainage collection areas or sewers.
Personnel cleaning up the spill should wear appropriate Ppersonal Protective Equipment, including respirators if vapor
concentrations are high. Soak up spill with an inert absorbent such as sand, earth or other non-combusting material. Put spent
absorbent material in covered, labeled metal containers. See Section 13 for disposal information.
Report releases to proper authorities as required.
7. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
HANDLING:
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Use with adequate ventilation (equivalent to
outdoors). Wash thoroughly after handling. do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area. Keep product away from heat, sparks,
flames and all other sources of ignition. No smoking in use or storage areas. Keep containers closed when not in use.
STORAGE:
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from incompatable materials. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Other Precautions:
"Empty" containers can retain product residue and can be hazardous. Follow all MSDS precations in handling empty containers.
Do not cut or weld on or near empty or full containers.
Prevent prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors released during application process. Reports have associated repeated and
prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain damage and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by
deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
Ventilation Requirements:
GENERAL MECHANICAL: Exhaust ventilation capable of maintaining emissions at the point of use below OSHA PEL.
LOCAL EXHAUST: Open doors & windows. If used in an enclosed area, use exhaust fans.
Exhaust fans should be explosion-proof or set up in a way that flammable concentrations of vapors are not exposed to electrical
fixtures or hot surfaces.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
For operations where the exposure limits may be exceeded, a NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator or supplied air respirator
is recommended. Equipment selection depends on the contaminant type and concentration. Select in accordance with 29 CFR
1910.134 and good industrial hygiene practice.
For firefighting, use self-contained breathing apparatus.

MSDS - Material Safety Data Sheet
Product Name: Genova Uncopper?CPVC CEMENT
MSDS No.: GE379551
THIS PRODUCT IS TOXIC BY INGESTION. MAY CAUSE NARCOSIS, GASTRIC INJURY OR DEATH.
CHRONIC TOXICITY: Prolonged or reapeated overexposure can cause dermatitis and damage to the kidney, liver, lungs and
central nervous system.
TOXICITY DATA:
Cyclohexanone:
Oral rat LD50: 1,620 mg/kg.
Inhalation rat LC50: 8,000 ppm/4 hours
Skin rabbit: 1 mL/kg
Methyl Ethyl Ketone:
Oral rat LD50: 2,737 mg/kg.
Inhalation rat LC50: 23,500 mg/m3/8 hours
Skin rabbit: 6480 mg/kg
Tetrahydrofuran:
Oral rat LD50: 1,650 mg/kg
Inhalation rat LC50: 21,000 ppm/ 3 hours
CPVC Resin:
No toxicity studies have been conducted on this product.
As with all chemicals for which test data are limited or do not exist, caution must be exercised through the prudent use of
protective equipment and handling procedures to minimize exposure.
SENSITIZATION:
None of the components are known to cause sensitization.
CARCINOGENICITY:
None of the components are listed as a carcinogen or suspect cacinogen by NTP, IARC or OSHA. The NTP has reported that
exposure of mice and rats to Tetrahydrofuran vapor levels up to 1800 ppm 6 hr/day, 5 days/week for their lifetime caused an
increased incidence of kidney tumors in male rats and liver tumors in female mice. The significance of these findings for human
health is unclear at this time, and may be related to "species specific" effects. Elevated incidences of tumors in humans have not
been reported for Tetrahydrofuran. ACGIH has classified Cyclohexanone and Tetrahydrofuran as "A3", Confirmed Animal
Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans.
MUTAGENICITY:
Cyclohexanone has been positive in bacterial and mammalian assays. Methyl Ethyl Ketone and Tetrahydrofuran are generally
thought not to be mutagenic.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY:
Methyl Ethyl Ketone and Cyclohexanone have been shown to cause embryofetal toxicity and birth defects in laboratory animals.
Tetrahydrofuran have been found to cause adverse developmental effects only when exposure levels cause othe toxic effects to
the mother.
12. Ecological Information:
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE TOXIC TO AQUATIC ORGANISMS.
Cyclohexanone: 96 hour LC50 values for fish is over 100mg/L.
Methyl Ethyl Ketone: 96 hour LC50 values for fish is over 100mg/L.
