Section VI - Health Hazard Data, Toxicity Data
Route(s) of Entry: N/A
Carcinogenicity?: No
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic):
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Inhalation, vapors or spray mists may be slightly irritating to eye, nose, throat, and mucous mem-
branes of respiratory tract producing symptoms of headache, nausea in poorly ventilated areas. Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated
contact with coating may cause slight skin irritation. Eye Contact: Direct contact; inconsequential eye irritation. Ingestion: May cause
nausea and intended expectoration.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Eye and Skin Contact: Immediately flush eyes with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult physician; wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. If drenched, remove and wash
clothing before reuse. Ingestion: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. If victim is conscious, give 2 glasses of water. Never give
anything to an unconscious person. Treat symptomatically.
TOXICITY INFORMATION: The effects of overexposure shown in Section VI are based on acute toxicity profiles for a number of special emulsions that are
compositionally similar to this product. Typical values are: Rat, oral LD 50:>5.0 g/kg; Rabbit, dermal LD 50:>5.0 g/kg; Rabbit, skin irritation: practically non
irritating --72 hour Mean Irritation Score = 0 to 2: Rabbit, eye irritation: Inconsequentially irritating.

NOTES: (1)The white versions of these products (#6470 & 7470) contain titanium dioxide pigment classified by ACGIH as a "nuisance dust". Exposure to spray mists or sanding dusts
should be controlled to below 2 mg/m3 through usage of NIOSH-approved dust filter respirators.

Section VII: Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Keep unnecessary people away.
Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Dike and contain material with inert material (e.g. sand, earth).
Transfer liquid to containers for recovery or disposal and solid diking material to separate containers for
disposal. Keep spills and run-offs out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: The coating and any contaminated diking material should be thoroughly air
dried and collected into drums. The drums should then be sealed and properly labeled with waste designation
and landfill or incinerated according to current local, state and federal regulations.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Maximum storage temperature 100癋.
Keep closure tight and container upright to prevent leakage. Precautionary Labeling: "Keep from Freezing".
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Do not get in eyes. Avoid skin contact. Prevent prolonged or repeated breathing of
vapors or spray mists. Do not handle until the manufacturer's safety precautions and label instructions have
been read and understood. Avoid breathing sanding dust.
Section VIII: Control Measures
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None required if good ventilation is maintained. Wear respirator (MSHA/
NIOSH-approved or equivalent) suitable for concentrations and types of air contaminants encountered. Use
approved chemical/mechanical filters designed to remove particulates in open and restricted ventilation areas.
Use MSHA/NIOSH-approved airline type respirators or hood in confined areas.
VENTILATION: Sufficient ventilation, in pattern and volume, should be provided to keep the air contaminant
concentration below applicable exposure limits. All application areas should be ventilated in accordance with
OSHA regulation 29CFR Part 1910.94.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Impervious gloves should be worn if prolonged skin contact is likely. Use neoprene
or rubber gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact.
EYE PROTECTION: Use safety eyewear including side shields, face shields, or chemical splash goggles
(ANSIZ-87.1 or approved equivalent).
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Use disposable or impervious clothing if work clothing contamination is
likely. Use protective cream if prolonged skin contact is likely.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash hands before eating, smoking, or using the washroom. Food or beverages
should not be consumed anywhere this product is being applied.
