1986 and of 40CFR 372. A CERCLA Hazardous Substance and Hazardous Air Pollutant.
Generally, the above ingredients that do not possess a vapor pressure are pigments and are only hazardous as airborne particles when the coating begins to degrade.
The HMIS (Hazardous Materials Identification System) codes at the upper right area of this page are recognized by OSHA. The PERSONAL PROTECTION code is
left blank on Vermont Natural Coatings Company's MSDSs as it depends on application technique and workplace ventilation. Please read all other sections of this
MSDS before deciding on the appropriate protective equipment and beginning work.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Polymer film can burn. Avoid breathing fumes of burning dry coating because carbon dioxide/monoxide may be released.
Use full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool closed containers with water.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat or fire. Material may splatter if exposed to extreme heat.
Decomposition of burning material may cause toxic gases to form, which may include carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

============================== SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA ============================
INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Lightheadedness, staggered gait, headache, dizziness and nausea. Irritation to the nose, throat and lungs.
Prolonged inhalation may lead to mucous membrane irritation, central nervous system depression, and unconsciousness.
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Irritation and watering of the eyes. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause blurred vision and corneal injury.
SKIN ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Irritation of skin, redness and possible swelling. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause dermatitis, defatting. Can be absorbed through
skin.
INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Amounts ingested incidental to consumer and industrial handling are not likely to cause injury. Ingestion of large amounts can cause
serious injury, including gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting.
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC)
Breathing difficulty, headache, dizziness, nausea and irritation to the respiratory tract. Causes eye and skin irritation.
Irritation of the digestive tract and nervous system depression. Prolonged and repeated overexposure may cause permanent brain and or
nervous system damage. Can cause dermatitis. Sanding dust inhalation may cause lung damage. Intentional misuse through inhalation
may be harmful or fatal.
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP? NO IARC MONOGRAPHS? NO OSHA REGULATED? NO
If this product contains ethylene glycol (see section II), oral consumption may produce adverse health effects e.g. kidney damage.
This product may contain trace amounts of crystalline silica, which is considered a hazard by inhalation that can cause silicosis.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Ingredients in this product are reported to aggravate preexisting eye, skin, respiratory, kidney and liver disorders.
============================== SECTION VII - FIRST AID MEASURES =============================
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye contact: Flush with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Administer oxygen if necessary. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute. Obtain medical attention immediately.

=================== SECTION VIII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE =========\=========
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Keep out of reach of children. Do not take internally. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin.
When storing containers, close tightly, keep in upright position, away from fire, open flame and high temperature areas.
Transfer only to approved containers with complete and appropriate labeling. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
Remove contaminated shoes and thoroughly dry before reuse. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water after contact.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Warning! If you scrape, sand or remove an old coating, you may release lead dust. Lead is toxic. Exposure to lead dust can cause serious
illness, such as brain damage, especially in children. Pregnant women should also avoid exposure. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your
family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log onto www.epa.gov/lead.
======================== SECTION IX - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ========================
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Avoid contact and breathing of vapors. Ventilate area. Remove ignition sources. Dike and absorb with absorbent material.
Prevent material from entering sewers or open bodies of water.
============================== SECTION X - CONTROL MEASURES ==============================
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Use only with adequate ventilation. Provide adequate fresh air entry. If not wear the proper respiratory protection.
If ventilation is inadequate use an organic vapor/particulate respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for spray/mist vapors.
When sanding a dried coating film use a dust/mist respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for dust which may be generated.
VENTILATION
Local exhaust preferable. If in confined areas, use mechanical ventilation to keep vapor concentration under permissible TLV and LEL.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Waterproof rubber gloves are required during repeated contact.
EYE PROTECTION
Splash resistant and spray mist protection required. Use splash goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
Clothing adequate to protect skin. Remove and wash before reuse. Eye wash, safety shower.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Normal industrial hygienic practices should be followed. Wash hands before eating, smoking or using the washroom.
