3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Flammable liquid and vapor. Causes severe eye irritation. May cause severe respiratory tract irritation.
Inhalation may cause dizziness, headache and incoordination. Causes digestive tract irritation. Ingestion may cause dizziness,
faintness, headache, incoordination, inflammation of the lungs, nausea, vomiting and upset stomach. May cause skin irritation.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Eye. Skin. Inhalation (breathing).
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE CONTACT: Causes moderate to severe irritation. Can cause burning sensation, tearing and redness.
SKIN CONTACT: May cause moderate irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin and lead to irritation (i.e.
dermatitis). May be absorbed through skin. Can cause redness, itching and burning sensation.
INHALATION (Breathing): Irritating to the eyes, nose and respiratory tract. Can cause dizziness, headaches and
incoordination, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other central nervous system effects, including death. Nausea, vomiting
and stomach upset can occur. Can cause wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and tightness in the chest. Can cause
anesthetic and/or narcotic effects.
INGESTION: Severely irritating to the mouth, throat and stomach. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause nausea,
vomiting, pain and stomach upset (e.g., diarrhea). Can cause dizziness, faintness, headache and incoordination. Small
amounts of this product aspirated into the respiratory system during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe
pulmonary injury, possibly progressing to death. May cause inflammation of the lungs.
TARGET ORGANS/CHRONIC EFFECTS: Liver. Kidneys. Nervous system. Lungs and respiratory system. Eyes. Skin.
CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Liver. Kidneys. Lungs and respiratory system. Skin.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN: Immediately flush with water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Professionally wash clothing and shoes before re-use.
EYE: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get prompt medical attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into
the lungs. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION*
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If symptoms develop, seek immediate medical attention. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration.
*NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: If more than 2.0 ML per KG has been ingested and vomiting has not occurred, emesis should be induced
with supervision. Keep victim's head below hips to prevent aspiration. If symptoms such as loss of gag reflex, convulsions or
unconsciousness occur before emesis, gastric lavage using a cuffed endotracheal tube should be considered.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: 80o F (TCC)
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Lower: 1 Upper: 7
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or CO2. Do not use a direct stream of water. Product will float and
can be reignited on surface of water.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURE: Caution. Combustible. Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear
(helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure NIOSH approved self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA). Cool fire exposed containers with water.
UNUSUAL FIRE EXPLOSION HAZARD: High temperatures can cause sealed containers to rupture due to a build up of internal
pressure. Cool with water. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition (Flame, electric motor, hot surface, cigarette, etc.) and flash
back. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated during combustion or decomposition.
AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Approximately 880o F.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Smoke, soot and toxic/irritating fumes (i.e., carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
etc.). Acrylic monomers. Unidentified organic compounds.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EVACUATION: Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Eliminate all sources of ignition.
CONTAINMENT: Safely stop discharge. Contain material, as necessary, with a dike or barrier. Stop material from contaminating
soil, or from entering sewers or bodies of water.
CLEAN UP/ PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT: Appropriate safety measures and protective equipment should be used.
Use supplied air respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in enclosed spaces or if airborne exposure limits can be
exceeded. See Section 8.
COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL: Stop discharge, if safe to do so. Use proper protective equipment. Use non-sparking tools and/or
explosion-proof equipment. Stop ignition sources. Cover spills with absorbent clay or sawdust and place in closed chemical waste
containers. Dispose of according to applicable local, state and federal regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources and direct sunlight. Keep
containers tightly closed. WARNING: Hot organic chemical vapors or mists can suddenly and without warning combust when
mixed with air. Ignition can occur at typical elevated temperature process conditions. Any use in such processes should be
evaluated thoroughly to assure safe operating conditions.
TRANSFER: Containers should be supported and grounded before opening, dispensing, mixing, pouring and emptying. Open with
non-sparking tools. If container is warm, open slowly to release internal pressure.
PERSONAL HYGIENE: Wash thoroughly after handling, especially before eating, drinking, smoking and using restroom facilities.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
EMPTY CONTAINER PRECAUTIONS: Attention! This container hazardous when empty. Follow label warnings even after
container is emptied since empty containers may retain product residues. Do not use heat, sparks, open flames, torches, cigarettes on
or near empty container. Do not reuse empty container without professional cleaning for food, clothing or products for human or
animal consumption or where skin contact can occur.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing vapors and/or mists. Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment. Determine the
appropriate type by consulting the respirator manufacturer. High airborne concentrations may necessitate the use of self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) or a supplied air respirator. Respiratory protection programs must be in compliance with 29 CFR
1910.134.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: Use explosion-proof ventilation as required to control vapor concentrations.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear chemical splash goggles. An eye wash facility should be readily available.
SKIN PROTECTION: Wear protective clothing and appropriate impervious gloves. Because a variety of protective gloves exists,
consult glove manufacturer to determine the proper type for a specific operation.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
COMPONENTS:
Aromatic Hydrocarbon:
Rats exposed for 4 months to 1700 PPM of a solvent similar to this solvent showed evidence of mild damage to liver, lungs and
kidneys. These effects were not seen in rats exposed for one year to 350 PPM of another similar solvent. Rats exposed to vapors
of a similar solvent during pregnancy showed embryo/fetotoxicity at concentrations producing maternal toxicity.
In response to a TSCA test rule, several studies of a compound similar to this solvent have been completed. Mutagenicity studies
and a rat inhalation neurotoxicity study were negative. In a mouse developmental effects study, reduced fetal body weight was
seen but no teratogenicity. A rat reproductive effects study demonstrated toxicity but little effect on reproductive parameters.
Xylene:
Xylene is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC or OSHA and we are not aware of data indicating it is mutagenic,
carcinogenic or a skin sensitizer. Laboratory animals exposed to prolonged and repeated high doses of xylene by various routes
have shown hearing loss and effects in liver, kidneys, lungs, spleen, heart, blood and adrenals: developmental toxicity studies
showed embryolethal/toxic and teratogenic effects with maternal toxicity. The effects of solvents on human hearing are
uncertain. Solvent abusers and noise interaction with xylene (mixed solvent) in the work environment may cause signs of
hearing loss.
Titanium Dioxide:
In a 2 year study in rats, an increase in benign and malignant lung tumors was observed at 250 mg/m 3 respirable dust level. This
level is 50 times the current occupational exposure level and is not expected to correlate to human exposures.
Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether Acetate:
Oral LD50 Rat 8532 mg/kg
Dermal LD50 Rabbit >5000 mg/kg
Inhalation LC50 Rat 4345 ppm/6 hrs.
Ethyl Benzene:
Oral LD50 Rat 3500 mg/kg
Dermal LD50 Rabbit 17800 mg/kg
