MSDS for AMERSHIELD BASE LF Page 2 of 5
Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact
Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation still present, seek medical attention.
Inhaled
Remove to fresh air, rest. If breathing is difficult, give artificial respiration.
4.2 Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Fire/Explosion Hazard
Flammable Liquid. Vapours form explosive mixture with air (see limits in section 9). Extinguishing Media:
Foam, Dry Powder, CO2, Water Fog. Do not use water except as a fog to cool nearby containers. Wear
breathing apparatus when fighting fire. Decomposition Products: Oxides of Carbon, and possibly other
noxious products.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Spills
MINOR - Extinguish naked flames,and avoid sparks. Absorb with sand, sawdust or earth. Collect in drums,
and cover with water for 24 hours, before arranging for disposal by a competent contractor in accordance
with local and national regulations. MAJOR - Extinguish naked flames and avoid sparks. Wear appropriate
protective clothing and equipment.Evacuate surrounding personnel. Dike area of spill, and transfer to empty
drums. Residue to be absorbed with sand, sawdust or earth, and placed in drums. Cover with water for 24
hours before arranging for disposal by a competent contractor, in accordance with local and national
regulations.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1
Avoid sources of heat, naked flames and sparks. Use in well ventilated area. Use flame proof equipment.
Earth all containers to reduce the possibility of sparks from static electricity. Store in a cool,well ventilated
place away from heat, naked flames and sparks. Store away from oxidising agents, alkaline materials and
strong acids. Keep container closed at all times. Keep away from food, drink and clothing.

8.2 Engineering Controls
Use a ventilated booth fitted with an effective filtered exhaust system. General mechanical ventilation or local

MSDS for AMERSHIELD BASE LF Page 3 of 5
exhaust should be suitable to keep vapour concentrations below TLV. Ventilation equipment should be
explosion proof.
8.3 Personal Protection
When mixed with hardener this material will contain free organic isocyanate. All mixing and handling of
hardener and paint containing hardener must be carried out under working conditions that prevent skin
contact or inhalation of vapours. Wear chemical safety glasses/goggles or faceshield. If spraying, an air-
supplied hood or respirator must be used (complying with Australian Standard 1716 - Respiratory Protective
Devices, or equivalent). The spray booth area should be isolated from other people while spraying is in
progress, and until all spray mist has been effectively dispersed. If applying by brush or roller, a half face
respirator with organic vapour cartridge may be used instead of air-supplied hood/respirator. Wear PVC or
Nitrile chemical handling gloves.

SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
11.1 Health Effects
Swallowed
Slightly toxic. Main hazard of ingestion is aspiration of swallowed liquid into lungs, causing chemical
pneumonitis.
Eye Contact
Slightly irritating, causing redness and burning sensation.
Skin Contact
Slightly irritating, causing redness.
Inhaled
Harmful by inhalation. The vapour is irritating to the upper respiratory tract. May cause nausea, dizziness and
narcosis. Extreme exposure may result in unconsciousness, and possibly death. When catalysed with
isocyanate hardener this product may cause lung irritation and asthma-like respiratory reaction.
Chronic or Other
Prolonged and repeated contact with the skin may irritate, and cause dermatitis. Prolonged overexposure to
the solvents (inhalation and skin contact) may cause effects to the central nervous system, liver, urinary,
bloodforming, cardiovascular and reproductive systems. When catalysed, this product will contain
isocyanate. Overexposure to isocyanate,especially during spraying operations without the necessary
file://G:\MSDS\Latest MSDS\59500NOLEAD9 Amershield BASE LF nov05 .HTM 3/05/2006
MSDS for AMERSHIELD BASE LF Page 4 of 5
precautions, entails the risk of concentration dependent irritating effect on eyes, nose, throat and respiratory
tract. Delayed appearance of the complaints and development of hyper sensitivity (difficult breathing,
coughing, asthma) are possible. Hyper sensitive persons may suffer from these effects even at low
isocyanate concentrations, including concentrations below TLV. See section 3.2 for other chronic health
risks.
