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.
Inhalation statement: Sanding dust inhalation may cause lung damage.
Crystalline silica has been classified as probably carcinogenic for humans (2A)
by IARC. Contains Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime (MEKO) which has been indentified as a
potential animal liver carcinogen. Currently, MEKO is not listed as a
potential carcinogen by IARC, NTP or OSHA. IARC has classifed 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
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 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 of 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 Sect. II
for ingredient data and concentrations). Mechanical exhaust may be required in
confined areas. Discharge exhaust only in area away from ignition sources.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Solvent impermeable gloves are required.
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. DANGER - Rags, steel wool or waste soaked with this product may
catch fire spontaneously if improperly discarded. Immediately after use, place
rags, steel wool or waste in a sealed water-filled metal container.
