FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATIONS: OSHA: NON REGULATED DOT: NON REGULATED IN ALL MODES
IATA: NON REGULATED IN ALL MODES
CLOSED CUP FLASH POINT: > 200 F. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: DRY CHEMICAL
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS BRASS POWDER WHICH IS AN ALLOY OF COPPER AND ZINC. BURNING BRASS POWDER,
SINCE IT CONTAINS ZINC, MAY REACT WITH WATER TO LIBERATE HYDROGEN GAS WHICH WILL SPREAD THE FIRE.
ALSO, BURNING BRASS MAY REACT WITH HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON EXTINGUISHING AGENTS RESULTING IN
SERIOUS OF VIOLENT REACTIONS.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES:
NEVER USE WATER OR FIRE EXTINGUISHERS CONTAINING HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS TO FIGHT A FIRE IN THIS
PRODUCT. USE ONLY A NFPA CLASS D FIRE EXTINGUISHER CONTAINING DRY CHEMICAL AND EQUIPPED WITH A LOW
VELOCITY NOZZLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS.
SECTION V -- EMERGENCY AND FIRST-AID PROCEDURES
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY ARE DERMAL., INHALATION, INGESTION .
FOR SWALLOWING:
DRINK TWO GLASSES OF WATER TO DILUTE. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. CONSULT PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY. TREAT
SYMPTOMATICALLY. BE PREPARED TO PROVIDE THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN WITH A COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT.
FOR SKIN CONTACT:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH THOROUGHLY WITH MILD SOAP AND WARM WATER. APPLY A GOOD
QUALITY SKIN CREAM. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF THERE IS ANY PERSISTING IRRITATION.
FOR INHALATION:
REMOVE VICTIM TO A WELL VENTILATED AREA. GIVE OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AS REQUIRED. TREAT
SYMPTOMATICALLY AND CONSULT PHYSICIAN.
FOR EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES. CONSULT PHYSICIAN.
SPECIAL NOTES TO ATTENDING PHYSICIAN:
THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE. TREATMENT OF OVEREXPOSURE SHOULD BE DIRECTED AT CONTROL OF THE
SYMPTOMS AND THE CLINICAL CONDITION.
SECTION VI -- SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE
ACUTE EFFECTS:
SWALLOWING:
MODERATELY TOXIC. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, AND STOMACH. THERE MAY BE
DISCOMFORT OR PAIN IN THE MOUTH, THROAT, CHEST AND ABDOMEN, WITH NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA,
DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING, WEAKNESS, THIRST, DIZZINESS, AND DROWSINESS. ASPIRATION INTO THE LUNGS MAY
OCCUR DURING INGESTION OR VOMITING, RESULTING IN LUNG INJURY.
SKIN ABSORPTION:
NO SPECIFIC INFORMATION AVAILABLE. CONTAINS MATERIALS THAT MAY BE SLIGHTLY TOXIC.
INHALATION:
EXPOSURE TO VAPORS IS UNLIKELY DUE TO LOW VAPOR PRESSURE OF INGREDIENTS, BUT INHALATION OF MIST,
AEROSOLS, OR VAPORS MAY RESULT IN IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT COUGHING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH
AND DIZZINESS.
SKIN CONTACT:
CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT MAY CAUSE SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION (REDDENING AND SWELLING) AND/OR
SENSITIZATION. PROLONGED CONTACT MAY CAUSE BLISTER FORMATION (BURNS). SINCE IRRITATION MAY NOT
OCCUR IMMEDIATELY, CONTACT CAN GO UNNOTICED.
EYE CONTACT:
CONTAINS MATERIALS THAT MAY CAUSE MODERATE IRRITATION, INCLUDING BURNING SENSATION TEARING, REDNESS
OR SWELLING.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS KNOWN TO BE AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: LUNG CONDITIONS, SENSITIZATION, OR
ALLERGIES, SKIN AND EYE CONDITIONS.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
MAY CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION. DERMATITIS.
ACRYLATES HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO BE MUTAGENIC ONLY IN THE MOUSE LYMPHOMA ASSAY, BUT NEGATIVE IN THE
AMES TEST.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
COPPER OR COPPER/ZINC ALLOY METAL IS SLIGHTLY TOXIC. INHALATION OF COPPER OR COPPER/ZINC ALLOY
POWDER MAY CAUSE ACUTE IRRITATION OF THE NOSE AND/OR TRACHEA: MAY PRODUCE ACUTE GASTROENTERIC
SYMPTOMS RESULTING IN VOMITING AND OR INFLAMMATION, AND/OR MAY CAUSE ACUTE MENTAL FUME FEVER.
EXPOSURE OF SKIN TO COPPER OR COPPER/ZINC ALLOY POWDER MAY CAUSE ACUTE DERMATITIS. IN THE CASE OF
CHRONIC EXPOSURE, THE LIVER, KIDNEYS, AND/OR SLPEEN MAY BE INJURED, AND/OR ANEMIA MAY DEVELOP.
CHRONIC TOXICITY IS CONFINED TO THOSE PERSONS SUFFERING FROM PRE-E ITN WIS NSDS A E
XS IG L O ' IE S .
MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY EXPOSURE:
THE FOLLOWING MEDICAL CONDITIONS MAY BE AGGRAVTED BY EXPOSURE TO COPPER OR COPPER/ZINC ALLOY
