Section 3: Hazard Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: WARNING! This product is HAZARDOUS by OSHA Hazard
Communication definition. May cause skin, eye and respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if
swallowed. May cause reproductive harm. Risk of effects depends on duration and level of exposure.
Hazard Rating: NFPA HMIS Hazard Rating Scale:
Health: 1* 0= Minimal
Flammability: 1 1= Slight
Reactivity: 0 2= Moderate
PPE: B 3= Serious
4= Severe
Note: NFPA and HMIS ratings involve data and interpretations that may vary from company to company.
They are intended only for rapid, general identification of the specific hazard. To deal adequately with the
safe handling of this, or any, material, all the information in the MSDS must be considered and interpreted
by a trained professional.
Potential Health Effects:
This material has not been tested as a whole. The data contained below is based on the properties of the
individual components.
This material has been tested as a whole. The data below is based on the properties of the mixture.
Main Routes of Exposure:
Inhalation Ingestion
Skin Absorption Skin or Eye Contact
2
Effects of Acute (Immediate) Exposure:
Eye Contact ............................................ May cause eye irritation.
Ingestion.................................................. Swallowing may cause irritation of mouth, throat and
gastrointestinal tract.
Inhalation................................................ Can cause irritation to nose, throat and lungs. Inhalation of
organic solvents can cause coughing, sore throat, and runny
nose, headache, dullness and dizziness.
Skin Contact............................................ Skin irritant. Prolonged contact can cause de-fatting of skin
rendering it susceptible to irritation by other substances.
Other........................................... Triethylamine: May cause effects on the liver, kidney, heart
and exposure to vapor may cause temporary blurred vision.
Effects of Chronic (Long Term) Exposure:
Inhalation...................................... Chronic exposure to organic solvents has been associated with
various nervous system damage including permanent memory
loss, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.
Exposure to triethylamine may cause minor transient blurring
of vision against a general bluish haze and the appearance of
halos around bright objects. The effect disappears
spontaneously within a few hours of the end of an exposure.
Animal studies showed that repeated or prolonged exposure
caused kidney and liver damage at 50 ppm. Heart tissue was
affected at 100 ppm.
Ingestion....................................... May cause harmful disorders of the liver, heart and
gastrointestinal tract.
Skin Contact............................................ Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis by de-fatting of skin
from prolonged or repeated contact.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Any pre-existing disorders or diseases of the respiratory system, central nervous system, skin, eyes, and
liver.
Target Organs Affected:
Central Nervous System, respiratory system, skin and eyes
The components of this material are considered Carcinogenic by:
Not Known
National Toxicology Program (NTP)
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)
Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Contact............................................. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open to rinse
completely. Get medical aid.
3
Ingestion.................................................. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Potential for aspiration if
swallowed. Give plenty of water to drink. Get medical aid
immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
Inhalation................................................ If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
aid.
Skin Contact............................................ In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of soap and water.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation, redness, swelling or skin pain develops and persists.
Wash clothing before re-use.
None.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Not determined. Lowest flashing component = 200o
Flash Point Deg. C F
Auto ?Ignition Temperature................... Not determined
Upper Flammable Limit (% Vol)............. Not determined
Lower Flammable Limit (% Vol)............. Not determined
Extinguishing Media............................... Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Cool
containers with water until well after the fire is out.
Hazardous Combustion Products.............. Oxides of carbon and nitrogen and other toxic vapors
General Information:
Firefighters should wear full protective equipment and positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
in pressure-demand mode. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors are heavier than air and
may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low
areas. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed container surfaces.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill / Leak.............................................. Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in
Section 8. Stop flow of material. Absorb with inert material
(e.g. "oil dry", sand, earth or other suitable absorbent), then
place into a suitable container. Clean up spills immediately.
Provide ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a
spark-proof tool. Prevent from entering floor drains or sewers.
Do not release any chemicals of any type to sewers or any
waterways without proper authorization from government
agencies. Make appropriate notifications as required.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures................................ Maintain good personal hygiene. This product, which contains
and aqueous dispersion of a polymer, may be difficult to
remove without injuring the skin if allowed to dry. Wash
hands and face thoroughly after handling, and before eating,
drinking or using tobacco products. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash before re-use. Avoid contact with eyes, skin
and clothing. Keep containers tightly closed. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.

Observe local regulations. Store in a cool (<150oF), dry, well-
Storage Needs..........................................
ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Keep
containers closed when not in use. Keep away from direct
sunlight, heat, sparks or open flames. Keep from freezing.
Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
When selecting personal protective equipment and clothing, follow all manufacturer specifications and
recommendations that apply to your specific operations and processing conditions. Take into consideration
all working conditions and all chemicals to be handled or processed.
Eye / Type................................................ Wear splash-proof chemical safety goggles. Contact lenses
should not be worn when working with chemicals.
Respiratory /Type..................................... A half-face or full-face NIOSH-approved respirator with
organic vapor cartridge is recommended where exposures
exceed TLV.
Gloves / Type........................................... Wear chemical resistant gloves such as butyl rubber or nitrile.
Clothing / Type........................................ Wear long sleeved garment such as a lab coat to prevent skin
exposure.
Other / Type............................................ Facilities using or storing this product should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and safety shower within 100 feet
