3. Hazard Identification
Eye Contact
Overexposure may result in irritation and /or corneal changes. Direct eye contact may cause irritation. Contact with heated
material may cause thermal burns
Skin Contact/Absorption
Contact with skin can result in severe irritation which, when accentuated by sunlight, may result in a photo toxic skin reac-
tion. Repeated and/or prolonged contact may cause more serious skin disorders including cancer. Contact with heated
material may cause thermal burns.
Inhalation
Overexposure to vapor may result in respiratory tract irritation. Repeated and/or prolonged contact to high concentrations
of vapor may result in respiratory difficulties, central nervous system (CNS) effects and possible cardiovascular collapse.
4. First Aid Information
Eye Contact
Flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Call physician immediately.
Ingestion
If swallowed, drink one or two glasses of water to dilute. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Call physician or poison control immediately for
further instructions. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact/Absorption
Wash affected skin areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation
Move person to fresh air. Restore breathing if stopped. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Treat symptomatically. Get prompt medical
attention.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
If more than 2.0 mil 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 cuffed endotracheal tube should be considered.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point
41癋 (TOC)
Extinguishing Media
CO2 , Dry chemical foam
Flammability Limits (Percent by Volume)
LEL - 1.2
Flammability Classification
OSHA - Flammable Liquid
DOT - Flammable Liquid
Special Fire Fighting Procedures
Wear full firefighting protective clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus. Water spray may be ineffective. If water is used,
fog nozzles are preferable. Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible auto ignition or
explosion.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Closed containers may explode when
exposed to extreme heat. Water may be used to cool unruptured containers to prevent pressure buildup.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case of Spill or Release
Stop leak if no risk involved. Stay upwind. Remove all sources of ignition (flame, hot surfaces and electrical, static or frictional sparks).
Handling equipment must be grounded to prevent sparking. Avoid breathing vapors. Ventilate area.
Solidified Spills
Shovel into dry containers and cover.
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 spill for later disposal. Contain runoff from fire control and dilution water. This product is a mixture of hazardous
substances. When this product is spilled or leaded, the CERCLA reportable quantity is 11 gallons/ 104 pounds.
Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable
material. Place in non-leaking containers for proper disposal.

6. Accidental Release Measures (continued)
Small Spills
Contain and remove with inert absorbent material and non-sparking tools. Place in non-leaking containers and seal tightly for proper
disposal. Avoid contact.
7. Handling and Storage
Storage
Do not store or use near heat, sparks or open flame. Refer to OSHA 29CFR 1910.106 "Flammable and Combustible Liquids" for specific
storage requirements. Store only in well-ventilated areas. Do not puncture, drag or slide container. Keep container closed when not in
use.
8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Eye Protection
Use safety eye wear including safety glasses with side shields and chemical goggles as minimum protection.
Respiratory
Use approved chemical/mechanical filters designed to remove a combination of particulates and organic vapor in open and restricted
ventilation areas. Use approved airline-type respirators or hoods in confined areas.
Ventilation
Sufficient ventilation in pattern and volume should be provided to keep the air contaminant concentration below applicable exposure lim-
its. Heavy solvent vapors should be removed from the lower levels of work area, and all ignition sources (non-explosion proof equipment)
should be eliminated if flammable/air mixtures will be encountered. All application areas should be ventilated in accordance with OSHA
regulation 29 CFR Part 1910.94. Use ventilation to remove airborne decomposition products formed during welding or flame-cutting of
surfaces coated with this product. Caution: Solvent vapors are heavier than air and collect in lower levels of the work area.
Protective Gloves
Use neoprene or rubber gloves to prevent skin contact.
Other Protective Equipment
Use disposable or impervious clothing if work clothing contamination is likely. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Use protective cream if skin contact is likely.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
Respiratory allergies, chronic diseases of the skin, nose, throat and lungs, central nervous system, liver kidney and/or blood.
Special Precautions
Avoid breathing sanding dust. Can cause allergic respiratory reaction. Can cause allergic skin reaction. Prevent prolonged or repeated
breathing of vapor or spray mists. Do not weld or flame-cut an empty drum or container. Do not handle until the manufacturer's safety
precautions have been read and understood.
Hygienic Practices
Wash hands before eating, smoking or using toilet facility. Do not smoke in any chemical handling or storage area. Food or beverages
should not be consumed anywhere this product is handled or stored. Wash thoroughly after handling.
9. Physical and Chemical Properties

10. Stability and Reactivity
Chemical Stability
Product is stable, but keep away from heat, sparks, open flame and other sources of ignition.
Hazardous Polymerization
Will not occur under normal conditions.
Hazardous Decomposition
Toxic fumes may be emitted when burned; may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide in the case of incomplete combustion.
Materials to Avoid
Strong oxidants like liquid chlorine and concentrated oxygen.
Conditions to Avoid
High temperatures.

carcinogen. According to California hazardous waste regulations, substances posing a hazard to human health because of carcinogenic-
ity are hazardous wastes. Dispose of as a hazardous waste in the state of California.
