SECTION 3 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION (continued)
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE:
Eyes: Airborne mist, dust or direct contact can cause mechanical irritation of eyes. If burning, redness, itching, pain or
other symptoms persist or develop, consult physician.
Skin: Direct, prolonged or repeated contact with the skin may cause irritation.
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors may cause headache and nausea. Inhalation of mist when spray applying or dust
created when sanding a surface coated with this product can irritate the nose, throat, and the upper respiratory tract.
Persons subjected to large amounts of this dust will be forced to leave area because of nuisance conditions such as
coughing, sneezing and nasal irritation. Labored breathing may occur after excessive inhalation. If respiratory symptoms
persist, consult physician.
Ingestion: If ingested may cause gastrointestinal discomfort including nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and diarrhea and may
be fatal.
CHRONIC:
Eyes: None known.
Skin: None known.
Ingestion: No known effects.
Inhalation: Exposures to respirable crystalline silica are not expected during the normal use of this product; however,
actual levels must be determined by workplace hygiene testing.
Prolonged and repeated exposure to airborne free respirable crystalline silica can result in lung disease (i.e., silicosis)
and/or lung cancer. The development of silicosis may increase the risks of additional health effects. The risk of
developing silicosis is dependent upon the exposure intensity and duration.
Repeated and prolonged exposure to iron oxide dust may cause a benign pneumoconiosis called siderosis. The ACGIH
recommended limit is set to protect against siderosis, any exposure is expected to remain well below OSHA regulatory
and ACGIH recommended limits during normal handling and use of this product.
TARGET ORGANS: Eyes, skin and respiratory system.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation, eyes and skin contact.
SECTION 4
FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eyes: In case of contact, do not rub or scratch your eyes. Flush thoroughly with water for 15 minutes to remove
particles. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: Wash with mild soap and water. A commercially available hand lotion may be used to treat dry skin areas. If skin
has become cracked, take appropriate action to prevent infection and promote healing. If irritation persists, consult
physician.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Leave the area of dust/mist exposure and remain away until coughing and other
symptoms subside. Other measures are usually not necessary, however if conditions warrant, contact physician.
Ingestion: Get medical attention immediately.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE AGGRAVATED: Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases such as,
but not limited to, bronchitis, emphysema and asthma. Pre-existing skin diseases such as, but not limited to, rashes and
dermatitis.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
CONTAINMENT:
No special precautions. Wear appropriate personal protection (See Section 8).
CLEAN-UP:
Use normal clean up procedures. Wear appropriate protective equipment. Ventilate area. Floor may be slippery; use
care to avoid falling. Shovel or scoop up material from spillage into a waste container for disposal.
DISPOSAL:
Follow all local, state, provincial and federal regulations. Never discharge large releases directly into sewers or surface
waters. Trace amounts of residue can be flushed to a drain, using plenty of water.
SECTION 7
HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
When spray applying, minimize mist generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing mist. Wear the appropriate
respiratory protection against mist in poorly ventilated areas and if TLV is exceeded (see Sections 2 and 8). Avoid mist
contact with eyes. Wear the appropriate eye protection against mist (See Section 8).
Avoid breathing vapors and eye and skin contact.
Use good safety and industrial hygiene practices.
STORAGE:
Store at room temperature in a dry location.
SECTION 8
EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use ventilation to keep vapor concentrations below permissible exposure limits (See Section 2).
When spray applying and general ventilation is inadequate to control vapor/mist levels below permissible exposure limits
(see Section 2) use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET MSDS # 61-926-001

USG FIRECODE?Brand Acrylic Firestop Spray Sealant
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION (continued)
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Wear a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator in poorly ventilated areas, and if TLV is exceeded. A respiratory program
that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions
warrant a respirator's use.
OTHER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Eye/Face: Wear safety glasses, goggles or face shield for eye protection.
Skin: Wear neoprene gloves. Wear adequate clothing to minimize skin contact. Wash clothing on a regular basis.
General: Selection of Personal Protective Equipment will depend on environmental working conditions and operations.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (continued)
Crystalline silica (continued): In June, 1997, IARC classified crystalline silica (quartz and cristobalite) as a human
carcinogen. In making the overall evaluation, the IARC Working Group noted that carcinogenicity in humans was not
detected in all industrial circumstances studied. Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the
crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of its polymorphs.
IARC states that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to
humans (Group 1).
Iron Oxide Dust: Repeated and prolonged exposure to iron oxide dust may cause a benign pneumoconiosis called
siderosis. The ACGIH recommended limit is set to protect against siderosis, any exposure is expected to remain well
below OSHA regulatory and ACGIH recommended limits during normal handling and use of this product.
