(*) Indicate toxic chemical subject to the reporting requirement of Section 313 of SARA Title III and
40 CFR 372 (Code of Federal Regulations) . (A chemical or chemical category listed by the EPA is
subject to toxic chemical release reporting under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-

(1) (OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit) - These limits express the permissible maximum amount of
a chemical to which a person may be exposed. The concentrations listed refer to airborne exposure, as
might occur during spray painting (via mist) or during sandblasting of the cured paint film.
(2) (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists' Threshold Limit Value) - This
value is expressed in parts per million. The TLV is the concentration of substance in the air that can be
breathed for five consecutive eight hour workdays (40-hour work week) by most people, without
harmful effects.
(3) The titanium that is listed as a hazardous ingredient is based on OSHA regulation for respirable
(airborne) dust. Since this product is a wet application item, there is virtually no hazard associated with
its use in its original form. There would be potential hazards associated with the titanium dioxide and
silicon dioxide during operations such as sandblasting and scarification.

Stability: Good storage stability between 50 Celsius and 500 Celsius.
Conditions to Avoid: Keep from freezing and extreme heat.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Strong acids or bases, cationic emulsions or multivalent salts
(e.g., magnesium or calcium salts) will cause coagulation.
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Combustion may yield carbon monoxide and/or carbon
dioxide, and traces of monomer, as well as other toxic pyrolysis products.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
SECTION VI - Health Hazard Data
HMIS Rating: 0
Primary Routes of Exposure:
Inhalation: Yes - Texanol, methanol and ethylene glycol from curing paint film; mist from
spraying; or dust from sandblasting.
Eye Contact: Yes
Skin Contact: No
Ingestion: Yes
Health Hazards ( Acute & Chronic): (Acute): Dizziness, weakness, nausea, headache.
(Chronic): Gastrointestinal irritation - Prolonged or repeated exposure to high vapor
concentrations may cause damage to kidneys, liver, lungs, blood, or central nervous system. Repeated
ingestion may cause liver damage.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
Inhalation: Vapor or spray mist could cause headache, irritation to nose and throat, dizziness,
weakness and nausea.
Eye: Irritation from vapor or liquid
Skin: Not easily absorbed - prolonged or repeated contact may be mildly irritating to the skin
Ingestion: Can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None known
Carcinogenicity: National Toxicology Program: No
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs: No
OSHA Regulated: No
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult.
Ingestion: If conscious, give 1 - 2 glasses of water or milk and induce vomiting with Syrup of
Ipecac, keeping head below hips to avoid aspiration into lungs. (Vomiting is most effective if initiated
within 30 minutes of ingestion). CONTACT A PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER
IMMEDIATELY.
Skin Contact: Wash area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing.
Eye Contact: Irrigate eyes immediately with large amounts of room temperature water for at
least 15 minutes, or until eye is clear. TAKE TO A PHYSICIAN FOR HELP.
SECTION VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled: Dike and contain spill with inert
material (sand, sawdust, diamateous earth, etc.). Pump liquid into storage tanks. Remaining liquid may
be taken up with inert materials. Place in closed container for proper disposal.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of in accordance with Local, State, and Federal regulations.
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing: Keep container closed and upright to prevent
leakage. Avoid freezing or temperatures above 500 Celsius.
Other Precautions: Do not take internally. Keep away from children. Avoid breathing vapors. For
external use only.
SECTION VIII - Control Measures
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): None required in the absence of mist formation during
spraying if good ventilation is maintained. Otherwise use NIOSH approved respirator designed to
remove particles and vapor. At 200 Celsius, the approximate vapor pressure of ethylene glycol from this
product is 0.6 milli torr. Which leads to a concentration of 0.8 ppm of ethylene glycol in the air in a
contained, non-ventilated area near the liquid product. (i.e., the head space in the can).
Ventilation: Local Exhaust: Needed at point of release to maintain exposure below TLV.
Mechanical General: N/A
Special: N/A
Other: N/A
Protective Gloves: Rubber gloves for prolonged contact.
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles recommended to avoid eye contact.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: A rubber apron is recommended to protect clothing from
splash during spray application.
Work / Hygienic Practices: Wash hands before eating.
SECTION IX - Special Precautions
Other Precautions: Do not apply to pavement during or just before (within one hour) of a rain, to
avoid contamination of runoff water.
SECTION X - Disclaimer
All information, recommendations, and suggestions concerning this product are based upon
tests, literature references, and/or calculations, believed to be reliable. The manufacturer makes
