Extinguishing Media: For dry polymer, use water or carbon dioxide.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: When polymer burns, water, carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and smoke are produced. Pyrolysis products may include
such materials as acetic acid, acrolein or acetaldehyde. Wearing a mask to
remove smoke and organic vapors is recommended.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Closed containers may burst if exposed to
extreme heat or fire. Cool exposed containers with water.
SECTION V: REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Freezing or high heat
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Solvents, sulfuric acid or alkali materials.
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Burning may produce Carbon
Dioxide and/or Carbon Monoxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
SECTION VI: HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? YES Skin? YES Ingestion? YES
Health Hazards: Acute (Short Term) and Chronic (Long Term)
Acute: Excessive inhalation may result in headaches, nausea, eye
and lung irritation, and narcosis.
Chronic: Contains Crystalline Silica which has been determined to be
carcinogenic to humans (1) by IARC when in respirable
form. Risk of cancer depends on duration and level of
inhalation exposure to dust from sanding the dried paint or
spray mist. Inhalation Statement: Sanding dust inhalation
may cause lung damage.
Emergency and first aid procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical help for any breathing difficulty.
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water. Call physician.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water.
Ingestion: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute. DO NOT induce vomiting.
Call physician.
SECTION VII: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Avoid the spill area.
Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Dike and contain spill with inert
-3-
material (e.g., sand, earth). Scoop or shovel solid material into a suitable
container for disposal. Latex will leave a film on drying.
Waste disposal method: Dispose of in accordance with all local, state and
federal regulations.
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage: Keep container closed when
not in use. Do not store next to open flame. Protect from freezing.
Other precautions: KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
SECTION VIII: CONTROL MEASURE
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator at point
of use.
Ventilation: Local Exhaust: YES Special: None
Mechanical (General): Fan may be used Other: None
Protective Gloves: Use impervious gloves for prolonged or repeated contact.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles when splash potential exists.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: None known
Work/Hygienic Practices: Normal safety habits.
