SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
Warning! Causes irritation. May cause sensitization and allergic skin reaction. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Store in a cool, dry place.
Contaminated leather articles, including shoes, cannot be decontaminated and should be destroyed to prevent reuse.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Powercrete J Part A Revision 5 Revision Date: July 3, 2006 PAGE 1 OF 7
Eye irritant. Direct contact or exposure to vapors or mists may cause stinging, tearing, redness and
EYES:
swelling. Persons with pre-existing eye disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this material.
Skin irritant. Direct contact may cause redness, burning and skin damage. Repeated contact may cause
SKIN:
an allergic skin reaction in sensitized individuals. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more
susceptible to the effects of this material.
Ingestion my cause irritation of the mouth, throat and digestive tract. May be harmful if ingested.
INGESTION:
Breathing vapors or mists may cause nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Repeated exposure may
INHALATION:
cause an allergic respiratory reaction (asthma) in sensitized individuals. Persons with pre-existing lung
disorders (for example asthma-like conditions) may be more aggravated by exposure to this material.
ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS:
May cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation.
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS:
Repeated or prolonged overexposure may cause sensitization.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Pre-existing eye, skin, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Additional Information
Under certain conditions of use, such as sanding the cured product, dusts may be formed. Contact with dusts may be
abrasive and irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Prolonged or repeated overexposure to dusts may result in
chronic bronchitis (lung inflammation) with symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath. Persons with pre-existing eye and
skin disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of dust exposure. Respiratory symptoms associated with pre-existing
lung disorders (e.g., asthma conditions) may be aggrevated by exposure to dust.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Holding eyelids apart, flush affected eye(s) with clean water for at least 20 minutes. If symptoms persist,
EYES:
seek medical attention.
Immediately wipe material from skin and wash affected area(s) with plenty of mild soap and water while
SKIN:
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Wash clothing
before reuse.
DO NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, immediately rinse mouth with water and dilute
INGESTION:
the ingested material by giving 3-4 glasses of water to drink. Do not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious or convulsing person. Seek immediate medical attention.
If respiratory or other symptoms of exposure develop, move victim to fresh air and seek medical attention.
INHALATION:
If breathing difficulties develop, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Seek immediate
medical attention. If victim is not breathing, move to fresh air and immediately begin artificial respiration.
Keep victim warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Mixing and application should be done in a well-ventilated area. Local exhaust is recommended; general dilution ventilation is
acceptable. Avoid all personal contact. Keep containers tightly closed. Wash thoroughly after using. Parts A and B release
heat when combined. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
Store away from direct sunlight under normal storage conditions of approximately 23C and 50% Relative Humidity to maximize
the shelf life of this product and to avoid product degradation prior to use as-intended. Storage at temperatures beyond
normal-use conditions may adversely affect product functionality, and elevated temperatures may create hazardous conditions.
