                   3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



EYE:   Direct contact with liquid or vapor may cause irritation.



SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact with the skin can result in defatting and

drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash).

May be absorbed through the skin resulting in systemic effects.



INHALATION: Avoid breathing vapors or mists. High concentrations may lead to

central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches). Pro-

longed or repeated inhalation and ingestion may cause delayed injury involving

the kidneys and the blood. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of high concen-

trations of metal fumes may cause metal fume fever characterized by headache,

dizziness, metallic taste in mouth and general flu-like symptoms.



INGESTION: Irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory tract. May cause

vomiting. Aspiration of this product into the lung may cause chemical pneumo-

nitis which can be fatal.



Individuals with pre-existing disease in or a history of ailments involving the

skin, eye, respiratory tract, liver, kidney, central nervous system are at a

greater than normal risk of developing adverse effects when exposed to this

material.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                   4 FIRST AID MEASURES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



EYE CONTACT:   Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                   4 FIRST AID MEASURES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Get medical attention.



SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and

water. If redness, itching, burning or other symptoms develop or persist, get

medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.



INHALATION: If you experience difficulty in breathing, leave the area to obtain

fresh air. If breathing has stopped have a trained person administer artificial

respiration preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

Get medical attention.



INGESTION: If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. Give victim a glass of water

or milk. Get medical attention. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS

PERSON.



NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: There is no specific antidote for effects from overexposure

to this material. Treatment should be directed at the control of symptoms and

the clinical condition.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                   5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



FLASH POINT:   64 F/17 C



EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or foam.



FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: As in any fire, wear complete fire service protective

equipment, including full-face MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent self-contained

breathing apparatus. Use water to cool fire-exposed container/structure/protect

personnel.



FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures.

Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Closed containers may

explode when exposed to extreme heat (fire). Toxic vapors may be given off in a

fire.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                   6 SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Stop spill/leak if no risk involved. Avoid breathing vapors. Use an inert

absorbent to complete a clean-up. Dispose of contaminated absorbent, container

and unused contents in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                   7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



HANDLING:   Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors, mists or fumes.    Do

                   7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



not get on skin, in eyes or on clothing.   Wash thoroughly after handling.



STORAGE: Keep in a closed, labeled container within a cool (well-shaded), dry,

ventilated area. Protect from physical damage. Keep containers closed when

material is not in use. Maintain good housekeeping.



OTHER: Keep away from heat and open flame.   Do not use until manufacturer's

precautions have been read/understood.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                   8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Ventilation is normally required when handling or using

this product to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.

Facilities storing or utilizing this product should be equipped with an eyewash

facility.



RESPIRATORS: Ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. If you

experience eye watering, headache or dizziness or if air monitoring demonstrates

vapor levels are above applicable limits, wear an appropriate, properly fitted

respirator (NIOSH/MSHA approved or equivalent) during and after application.

Follow respirator manufacturer's directions for respirator use. Close container

after each use. A repiratory protection program that meets 1910.134 and ANSI

Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a

respirator's use.



PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Industrial safety glasses at a minimum. As

necessary for work area conditions: use side shields, goggles, or faceshield.

As required, chemical resistant flexible-type gloves (heavy duty neoprene or

equal). Wear industrial-type work clothing and safety footwear. Depending on

working conditions, i.e., contact potential, wear resistant protective garments

such as head/neck cover, aprons, jackets, pants, coveralls, boots, etc.
