EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: FOAM CO2 DRY CHEMICAL WATER FOG
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Closed containers may burst if exposed to
extreme heat or fire. Toxic gases may form when product burns.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Do not use water stream on burning liquid.
Cool exposed containers with water. Use self-contained breathing apparatus.
================================================================================
SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
================================================================================
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - ACUTE:
Inhalation - Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain or nervous system
causing dizziness, headache or nausea.
Contact - Causes eye irritation.
Contact - Causes skin irritation.
Skin Absorption - Hazardous ingredients contained in this product have the
capacity to be absorbed through the skin in sufficient quantities to cause
systemic toxicity. See Safe Handling and Use Information (Section VIII).
Ingestion - Irritation of the digestive tract and nervous system depression
(drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination and fatigue). Aspiration Hazard -
This material can enter lungs during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung
inflammation and damage.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC:
Skin Contact - Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause dermititis.
Contains: Ethyl Benzene which ahs been shown to cause cancer in male rats.
Inhalation - Irritating to respiratory tract.
Contains Methyl Thyl Ketoxime (MEKO) which has been identified as a potential
animal liver carcinogen. Currently, MEKO is not listed as a potential
carcinogen by IARC, NTP or OSHA. IARC has classified Carbon Black as possibly
carcinogenic for humans (2B). NOTICE: Reports have associated permanent brain
and nervous system damage with repeated, prolonged overexposure to solvents
among persons engaged in the painting trade. Intentional misuse by
deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY EXPOSURE:
None expected when used in accordance with Safe Handling and Use Information
(Section VIII).
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: DERMAL INHALATION INGESTION
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Inhalation - Remove from hazard area, maintain breathing, call physician.
Skin Contact - Remove with soap and water.
Eye Contact - Flush immediately with large amounts of water. Call physician.
Ingestion - Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute. Do NOT induce vomiting.
Call physician.

SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA
================================================================================
STABILITY: STABLE HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION WILL NOT OCCUR
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Burning may produce carbon dioxide and carbon
monoxide.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Elevated temperatures and build up of vapors.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): None reasonably foreseeable.
================================================================================
SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
================================================================================
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Remove all sources
of ignition. Avoid breathing vapors. Use non-sparking tools to return
materials to container. Absorb residue with Fuller's earth.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Conventional procedures in compliance with local, state
and federal regulations. Do not incinerate sealed containers.
================================================================================
SECTION VIII - SAFE HANDLING AND USE INFORMATION
================================================================================
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Wear a properly fitted vapor/particulate approved by NIOSH/MSHA for use with
paints (TC-23C) during application or sanding and until all vapors and spray
mist are exhausted. In confined spaces or in situations where continuous spray
operations are typical, or if proper respirator fit is not possible, wear a
positive-pressure, supplied air respirator (NIOSH/MSHA TC-19C). VENTILATION:
Adequate to maintain working atmosphere below T.L.V. and L.E.L. (See Se for
ingredient data and concentrations). Mechanical exhaust may be required
Discharge exhaust only in area away from ignition sources.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Solvent impermeable gloves are required during repeated
contact.
EYE PROTECTION: Splash goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Clothing adequate to protect skin.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Remove and wash clothing before reuse. Wash hands before
eating, smoking or using the washroom.
================================================================================
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
================================================================================
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Combustible - Keep away from
heat and flame.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged
contact with skin and breathing of vapor spray mist or sanding dust. Close
container after each use. Keep out of reach of children. Do not take
internally.
