MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Pro-Prime PVC Primer
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Class IB Flammable Liquid. Keep away from sources of heat, sparks or flame. If ignited, may form carbon dioxide and
carbon monoxide, various hydrocarbon vapors and toxic gases. Material is volatile and readily gives off vapors which may travel along the ground or be
moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors, static discharge or other ignition sources at locations near
the material handling point.
Special Fire Fighting Precautions: Incipient fire responders should wear eye protection. Firefighter must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective equipment.
SECTION 6. SPILL/ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Leak: Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights electrical sparks). Persons not wearing protective equipment should be
excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at source. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water.
Prevent from spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean metal containers for recovery. Absorb
unrecoverable product. Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal in accordance with U.S. Federal, State, or
local procedures.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling and Storage Precautions: Keep container closed and upright when not in use. Do not store near heat, sparks, or open flames. If transferring this
material to other containers, ground all containers to avoid static electricity buildup and discharge which may ignite flammable vapors.
Other Precautions: Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, solid) all
hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin or clothing.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS /PERSONAL PROTECTION
Airborne Exposure Limits: 700 ppm
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 700ppm (Acetone)
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 700ppm (Acetone)
Respiratory Protection: In confined or poorly ventilated areas, use NIOSH/MSHA approved air respirators. Use only protection authorized in 29
CFR1910.134 or applicable State regulations.
Eye Protection: Splash goggles or safety glasses.
Hand Protection: Wear rubber gloves
Other Protection: Wear protective clothing appropriate for task (coveralls, apron, Tyvek suit)
Specific Engineering Controls (such as ventilation, enclosed process): Use in well ventilated area. Provide ventilation capable of maintaining emissions
at the point of use below recommended exposure limits. Mechanical exhaust (explosion proof) may be required. Emergency eye-wash / safety showers are
needed where there is the possibility that an employee's eyes may be exposed to this material, the employer should provide an eye-wash fountain/safety
shower within the work area for emergency use.

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION
Sensitization: None of the components of this product are know to cause sensitization.
Suspected Cancer Agent: None of the components of this product are listed as an IARC, NTP or OSHA carcinogen.
Tetrahydrofuran ?The National Toxicology Program has reported that exposures of mice and rats to THF vapor levels up to 1800 ppm 6 hr/day, 5 days/week
for their lifetime caused an incidence of kidney tumors in male rats and liver tumors in female mice. The significance of these findings for human health are
unclear at this time, and may be related to "species specific" effects. Elevated incidences of tumors in humans have not been reported for THF. ACGIH has
classified Cyclohexanone and Tetrahydrofuran as "A3", Confirmed Animal Carcinogens with Unknown Relevance to Humans.
Reproductive Toxicity: This product is not reported to produce reproductive effects in humans. Reproductive toxicity data is available for Methyl Ethyl
Ketone, Cyclohexanone and Tetrahydrofuran; obtained through clinical studies on test animals exposed to relatively high doses.
Mutagenicity: This product is not reported to produce mutagenic effects in humans. Human mutation data is available for Cyclohexanone; obtained through
clinical studies on specific human tissues exposed to relatively high doses. Animal mutation data is available for Methyl Ethyl Ketone and Tetrahydrofuran;
obtained through clinical studies on specific animal tissues or micro-organisms exposed to relatively high doses.
Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: Pre-existing disorders of the following organs may be aggravated by exposure to this material: skin, lung,
liver, kidney.
