SECTION 2 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: None expected under normal
conditions of use. Irritation of the nose, throat and lungs is associated with excessive exposure to ammonia,
which may occur when large volumes of product are used in an area with limited ventilation.
Overexposure to mists from spraying may be irritating to the respiratory tract. Chronic exposure to airborne
amorphous silica may cause chronic pulmonary disease.
EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Contact may be slightly
irritating to eyes.
SKIN CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Prolonged or repeated contact
may be irritating to skin. The Benzotriazolyl compound may cause allergic reactions.
INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: May cause irritation to
gastrointestinal system.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: The Benzotriazolyl
compound may cause allergic skin reactions in sensitized individuals.

SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT: Flush with water for 15 minutes. Consult Physician.if any symptoms persist.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash with soap and water. Consult Physician.if skin irritation occurs.
INHALATION: Remove subject to fresh air. Consult Physician.if symptoms persist
INGESTION: Consult Physician.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: None METHOD USED: N/A
LOWER: N/A UPPER: N/A
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME:
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, water spray, foam or dry chemical.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use selfcontained breathing apparatus and full protective
clothing.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Decomposition and combustion products may be toxic.
SECTION 6 ?ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Contain spill. Recover material for use or proper disposal. Clean residue with aqueous mopping.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
For best product stability, avoid freezing and higher than normal ambient temperatures.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None required under normal use. When sanding or spraying, use a
NIOSH P100 dust and mist respirator. If conditions warrant, a vapor respirator for protection against
ammonia may be used.
VENTILATION: General dilution ventilation is recommended at a level sufficient to keep individuals
asymptomatic to inhalation exposure.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Wear impermeable protective gloves
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: None required under normal use.

WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: All chemical products should be used in accordance with safe handling
practices, including: do not eat, drink or smoke when working with materials, avoid excessive skin contact,
wash after working with materials.
