CLASS: N.A.
GENERAL HAZARD: May release flammable mixtures when temperatures are at or above the flash point. Toxic gases will form
upon combustion. Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT : Respiratory and eye protection required for fire fighting personnel. Full protective equipment and
a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used in all indoor fires and any large outdoor fires.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS : Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Smoke and Fumes, Hydrocarbon Fragments,
Nitrogen Oxides, Amino Compounds.
SECTION 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (SPILLS OR LEAKS)
KEEP ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION AND HOT MET AL SURF ACES AWAY FROM SPILL. Isolate the danger area and keep
unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill if it can be done with minimal risk. Wear appropriate protective equipment including
respirator protection as conditions warrant (SEE SECTION 8).
PREVENT ADDITIONAL DISCHARGE OF MA TERIAL. Notify the appropriate authorities immediately. contain spilled liquid
with sand, earth or other non-combustible inert absorbent material. Prevent run-off from entering storm sewers, ditches
or waterways. Transfer absorbed waste material into properly identified drums. Treat waste material with same precautions
as the adhesive.
DO NOT USE SOL VENT OR FLAMMABLE LIQUID TO HELP CLEAN UP AN ACCIDENT AL RELEASE.
RELEASE TO THE ENVIRONMENT MAY BE REPORTABLE UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.
SECTION 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Open container slowly to relieve any pressure. Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks without following
proper entry procedures as described in OSHA regulations at 29 CFR 1910.146. Do not breathe vapors. The use of respirato-
ry protection is recommended when airborne concentrations of vapor exceed exposure guidelines. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent prolonged
or repeated skin contact. Avoid contact with eyes.

SECTION 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE ... continued
""EMPTY" CONT AINERS MAY CONTAIN LIQUID AND VAPOR RESIDUE AND MA Y BE DANGEROUS. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. "Empty" drums should
be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioned. All containers should
be disposed of in accordance with governmental regulations.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Smoke and Fumes, Hydrocarbon Fragments,
Nitrogen Oxides, Amino Compounds.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will Not Occur.
STORAGE: Keep containers tightly closed. Use and store this material in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from heat,
direct sunlight, hot metal surfaces, and all sources of ignition. Post area "No Smoking or Open Flames". Store only in approved
containers. Protect containers against physical damage. Indoor storage should meet OSHA standards and appropriate fire
codes.
Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities.
Consult NFPA and OSHA codes.
SECTION 8 -- EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRA TORY PROTECTION: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge may be used
under conditions where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure guidelines. Protection provided by air purify-
ing respirators is limited. Refer to respirator manufacturer's selection guide for appropriate respirator for conditions encoun-
tered. If in doubt, seek the advice of an industrial hygienist or safety professional for appropriate air purifying respiratory equip-
ment. Use positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not
known, or in any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. Respiratory protec-
tion does not provide safety from flammable atmospheres. Do not enter concentrations of vapors at, near or above the lower
flammable limit (LFL). When respiratory protection is used, a respiratory protection program meeting OSHA regulations at 29
CFR 1910.134 must be followed.
SKIN PROTECTION: The use of gloves impermeable to the specific material handled is advised to prevent prolonged or
repeated skin contact. Where splashing is likely to occur, aprons impermeable to the specific material may be worn. Refer
to the glove and protective clothing manufacturer's selection guide for appropriate material.
EYE PROTECTION: Approved chemical splash goggles should be worn to safeguard against potential eye contact, irritation
or injury. where splashing is likely to occur, hard hats and face shields may be used to provide additional protection. Eye
wash facilities should be available in the work area.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide sufficient mechanical ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s). The use of local
exhaust ventilation is recommended. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. If current ventilation practices are
not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established exposure guidelines, additional ventilation or exhaust
systems maybe required.
