SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
White. Liquid. No serious effects anticipated under normal conditions of use. Leave area to breathe fresh air.
Avoid further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry
Inhalation No serious effects anticipated under normal conditions of use.
:
Eyes Direct contact may cause mild irritation.
:
Ingestion May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting.
:
Skin May cause mild irritation.
:
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
Glycol ethers caused anemia and other blood abnormalities, kidney, liver and lung effects in experimental
animals. Inhalation of crystalline silica (quartz) can cause cancer based on animal data, and IARC concludes
sufficient evidence in humans (Group 1). Prolonged and repeated overexposure to free crystalline silica dust
above the TLV level may cause scarring of the lungs with cough and shortness of breath. A delayed lung injury,
silicosis may result from breathing free silica. Diacetone alcohol caused liver damage in experimental animals.
Can cause narcosis at high concentrations. Long term overexposure to propylene glycol caused liver
abnormalities, kidney damage in laboratory animals. Repeated excessive ingestion may cause central nervous
system effects. Fillers are encapsulated and not expected to be released from product under normal conditions
of use.

freezing. Do not use in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Prevent inhalation of vapor, ingestion, and contact
with skin eyes and clothing. Keep container closed when not in use. Precautions also apply to emptied
containers. Store in sealed containers in a dry, ventilated warehouse location above freezing.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protection equipment
Respiratory protection : Not required under normal conditions of use.Wear appropriate, NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator with combination particulate filter and vapor/gas
removing cartridge when the ventilation is not adequate or if it is necessary to
abrade or grind surfaces coated with this product.
Hand protection : Use suitable impervious rubber or vinyl gloves and protective apparel to
reduce exposure.
Eye protection : Wear appropriate eye protection.Wear chemical safety goggles and/or face
shield to prevent eye contact. Do not wear contact lenses. Do not touch eyes
with contaminated body parts or materials. Have eye washing facilities readily
available.
Skin and body protection : Prevent contact with shoes and clothing. Use rubber apron and overshoes.
Protective measures : Other equipment not normally required.Use professional judgment in the
selection, care, and use.
Engineering measures : Not required under normal conditions of use.Use local exhaust when the
general ventilation is inadequate.
