SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Off-white, thick paste (liquid) with mild solvent odor. Causes eye irritation. May cause skin irritation. May cause headache,
drowsiness or other effects to the central nervous system. Contains a material which may cause kidney damage.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
Primary entry route(s):
Skin, eyes, ingestion and inhalation.
Target organs:
Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, digestive system.
Effects of short-term (acute) exposure:
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Inhalation of higher concentrations could cause
dizziness, drowsiness, incoordination and other central nervous system effects.
Skin: Direct skin contact causes irritation.
Eye: Direct eye contact may cause severe irritation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the mouth, throat and stomach. Symptoms may include dizziness, drowsiness, incoordination
and other central nervous system effects. Ingestion of large amounts could cause kidney damage.
Effects of long-term (chronic) exposure:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause more pronounced irritation, drying and cracking of the skin (dermatitis).

SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Continued
Conditions aggravated by exposure: Carcinogenic status:
Pre-existing skin, eye and respiratory disorders. See TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION, Section 11.
Additional health hazards: Potential environmental effects:
For further information, see TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION, See ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION (Section 12).
Section 11.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin contact: Wash skin with mild soap and plenty of water, while removing contaminated clothing. Call a physician if irritation
persists.
Eye contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with running water for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation persists.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth if patient is unconscious. Seek medical attention.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire hazards/conditions of flammability:
Product is not flammable under normal conditions. However, this material may be ignited by extreme heat and flame. Vapours
are heavier than air and collect in low-lying areas. Closed containers may rupture if exposed to excess heat or flame, due to a
build-up of internal pressure.
Flammability classification (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200):
Non-flammable.
Flash point (Method): Lower flammable limit (% by volume): Upper flammable limit (% by volume):
> 93.3oC / > 200oF (Setaflash Closed Not available Not available
Tester)
Auto-ignition temperature: Hazardous combustion products:
N/Av Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, reactive hydrocarbons and other toxic vapors
and gases, that are common to thermal degradation of organic compounds.
Sensitivity to mechanical impact: Sensitivity to static discharge:
Not normally sensitive Not normally sensitive
Suitable extinguishing media:
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, appropriate foam or water fog.
Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment:
Firefighters should wear proper chemically protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus. Move containers
from fire area if it can be done without risk. Use water to cool fire exposed containers. After fires have been extinguished,
carefully clean all equipment and surfaces exposed to fumes. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water spray used for cooling
purposes.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions:
Wear personal protective equipment during cleanup. Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. All persons dealing
with clean-up should wear the appropriate protective equipment, especially where exposure to vapor, dust or fume is possible.
Refer to Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION, for additional information on acceptable personal
protective equipment.
Spill response/Cleanup:
Ventilate area of spill or release. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Contain material, preventing it from entering sewer lines or
waterways. Use inert, non-combustible absorbents to assist the pick up of material. Scrape up product and place it into a
container for disposal. Residual of product, while still wet, can be cleaned up with warm soapy water. Notify the appropriate
authorities as required.
Environmental precautions:
Do not allow material to be discharged into the atmosphere or into sewers or ground water.
Special spill response procedures:
If a spill/release in excess of EPA reportable quantity is made into the environment, immediately notify the national response
center in the United States (phone: 1-800-424-8002).
DOT/CERCLA Reportable quantity (RQ): None reported.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Safe handling procedures:
Wear suitable protective equipment. Use with adequate ventilation. Training the workers on the potential health hazards
associated with product vapor, dust or fume is important. Secondary inhalation exposures could occur when cleaning
equipment, or when removing or laundering the clothing. Avoid breathing vapors, fumes or dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin
and clothing. Keep away from extreme heat and flame. Keep away from oxidizing agents and other incompatibles. Avoid
and control operations which create high vapor or dust concentrations. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
Storage requirements:
Store in a cool (temperature below 32.2oC / 90oF), dry, well-ventilated area. No smoking in the area. Protect from damage.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls:
Use with adequate ventilation. Use natural cross-ventilation, local (mechanical) pick-up, and/or general area ventilation to meet
TLV requirements.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory Protection: If airbourne concentrations are above the permissible exposure limit or are not known, use NIOSH-
approved respirators approved for organic vapors.
Skin protection and other protective equipment: Impervious gloves appropriate to the material if skin contact with product is
expected. Advice should be sought from glove suppliers. Where exposure to product is possible use protective clothing. An
eyewash fountain and safety shower should be made available in the immediate working area.
Eye / face protection: Wear safety glasses to prevent any product from entering the eyes.
Permissible exposure levels:
For individual ingredient exposure levels, see Section 2.
General Hygiene Considerations:
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors/dusts. Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Clean
all equipment and clothing at end of each work shift.
