SECTION IV HEALTH INFORMATION
EYE CONTACT: Based on the presence of components 1, 2, and 4 product vapors and/or mists may be irritating to the eyes.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated contact may result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in dermatitis.
INHALATION: Exposure may produce irritation to the nose, throat, respiratory tract, and other mucous membranes. Exposure to excessive vapor
concentrations may cause signs of transient central nervous system depression. (e.g. headache, drowsiness, loss of coordination, and fatigue). Reports
have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse
by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
INGESTION: Based on the presence of components 1 and 4 small amounts of the liquid aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from vomiting may
result in severe lung damage. While this material has a low degree of toxicity, ingestion of excessive quantities may cause signs of central nervous
system depression. (e.g. headache, fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness, and loss of coordination).
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of eye irritation include pain, tearing, reddening, and swelling. Symptoms of skin irritation include reddening,
swelling, rash, and redness. Symptoms of respiratory irritation include runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and
reduced lung function. Symptoms of gastrointestinal irritation include sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Transient central
nervous system depression may be evidenced by headache, dizziness, nausea, and symptoms of intoxication; in extreme cases, unconsciousness and
death may occur. Symptoms of chronic overexposure include loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability, and loss of coordination.
AGGRAVATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS: Pre-existing skin, eye, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. Impaired
asthmatic conditions may be aggravated from prolonged and continuous exposure to dust. Functions from pre-existing disorders may be aggravated by
exposure to this product.
OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS: Based on the presence of component 3 chronic overexposure to Titanium Dioxide dust may cause slight lung fibrosis.

SECTION V EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT: If irritation or redness develops, move victim away from exposure source and into fresh air. Flush eyes with water for fifteen (15)
minutes. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing with mild soap and water. If irritation or
redness develops and persists, seek medical attention.(Cont.)
INHALATION: If respiratory symptoms develop, move victim away from exposure source and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
If victim is not breathing, immediately begin artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties develop, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel.
Seek immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Dilute with liquid unless the victim is unconscious or very drowsy. If vomiting spontaneously occurs, keep the
victim's head below the hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs. Consult a physician, hospital, or poison control center and/or transport to an emergency
facility immediately.
SECTION VI FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION - NFPA : Combustible Liquid - Class II
- DOT : Bulk shipments only: Combustible Liquid, N.O.S. (Light Aromatic Naphtha. 1, 2, 4-Trimethylbenzene) NA1993, III.
FLASH POINT: 135 degrees F. (Pensky Martens)
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical, or Carbon Dioxide.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS: WARNING: COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID! Clear area of unprotected personnel. Do not
enter confined fire space without helmet, face shield, bunker coat, gloves, rubber boots, and a positive pressure NIOSH approved self-contained
breathing apparatus.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Containers exposed to intense heat from fires should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure
buildup which could result in container rupture. Container areas exposed to direct flame contact should be cooled with large quantities of water as
needed to prevent weakening of container structure.
SECTION VII REACTIVITY
STABILITY: Stable HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION : Will not occur
CONDITIONS AND MATERIALS TO AVOID: Avoid oxidizing materials, copper, aluminum and its alloys.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Oxides and compounds of Nitrogen. Combustion may yield Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, and/or
incomplete combustion products. Do not breathe smoke or fumes. Wear appropriate protective equipment.
SECTION VIII EMPLOYEE PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use ventilation as required to control vapor concentrations - at least 10 air changes per hour are recommended for
good general room ventilation. If exposure exceeds the PEL/TLV, use the appropriate NIOSH approved respirator.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear safety glasses, goggles, or a splash shield to prevent eye contact. Contact lenses should not be worn. Wear
appropriate gloves and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and clothing.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES: Eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available for use in an emergency.
SECTION IX ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES: LARGE SPILLS>> Evacuate the hazard area of unprotected personnel. Wear appropriate respirator and protective
clothing. Shut off source of leak only if safe to do so. Dike and contain. Remove/extinguish ignition sources. If vapor cloud forms, water fog may be
used to suppress; contain run-off. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay,
sand or other suitable material; place in non-leaking containers for proper disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace residue; dispose of flush
solutions as above. SMALL SPILLS>> Take up with an absorbent material and place in non-leaking containers; seal tightly for proper disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL: Observe all Federal, State and local regulations regarding proper disposal.
SECTION X ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
Keep liquid and vapor away from heat, sparks, and flame. Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes, and turn off other possible sources of ignition prior to use
and until vapors are gone. Surfaces that are sufficiently hot may ignite product in the absence of sparks or flame. Vapors may accumulate and travel to
ignition sources distant from the handling site. Keep containers closed when not in use. Use with adequate ventilation. Containers, even if empty, can
contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind or weld near containers.
Containers can contain hazardous product residues even when empty. Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet
facilities.
