SECTION 3     HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Routes of Exposure: 

   Inhalation of vapor or spray mist

   Eye or Skin contact with the product, vapor or spray mist

Effects of Over Exposure:

   Eyes – Irritation

   Skin – Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation

   Inhalation – Irritation of the upper respiratory system

      In a confined area vapors in high concentration may cause headache, nausea or dizziness.

Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure:

   Redness and itching or burning sensation may indicate eye or excessive skin exposure.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: None generally recognized

Cancer Information:  For complete discussion of toxicology data refer to Section 11

 

SECTION 4     FIRST AID MEASURES

Skin:  Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder
   before reuse.

Eyes:  Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

Inhalation:  If affected, remove from exposure. Restore breathing. Keep warm and quiet. 

Ingestion:  Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.

 

SECTION 5     FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point:               LEL          UEL

   Not Applicable        N/A          N/A

Flammable Classification:  Not Applicable

Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Alcohol Foam

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Closed containers may explode (due to the build-up of pressure)
   when exposed to extreme heat.

   During emergency conditions overexposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard.

      Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

   Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus should be used.

   Water spray may be ineffective. If water is used, fog nozzles are preferable. Water maybe used to cool
      closed containers to prevent pressure build-up and possible auto-ignition or explosion when exposed
      to extreme heat.

 

SECTION 6     ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:

   Remove all sources of ignition

   Ventilate area

   Remove with inert absorbent

 

SECTION 7     HANDLING and STORAGE

Storage Category: Not Applicable

Precautions to be taken in handling and storage:  Keep container closed when not in use. Transfer only
   to approved containers with complete and appropriate labeling. Do not take internally. Keep out of
   the reach of children.

 

SECTION 8     EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Precautions to be taken in use:

   Use only with adequate ventilation.

   Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
   Avoid breathing vapor and spray mist.

   Wash hands after use.

   This coating may contain materials classified as nuisance particulates (listed “as Dust” in Section 2)
      which may be present at hazardous levels only during sanding or abrading of the dried film.  If no
      specific dusts are listed in Section 2, the applicable limits for nuisance dusts are ACGIH TLV 10
      mg/m3 (total dust), 3 mg/m3 (respirable fraction), OSHA PEL 15 mg/m3 (total dust), 5 mg/m3

      (respirable fraction).

Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead.
   Exposure to lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in
   children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances requires the
   use of proper protective equipment, such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper
   containment and clean up. For more information, call the National Lead Information Center at 800-424-
   LEAD (in U.S.) or contact your local health authority.

Ventilation: 

   Local exhaust preferable. General exhaust acceptable if the exposure to materials in Section 2 is
      maintained below applicable exposure limits. Refer to OSHA Standards 1910.94, 1910.107, 1910.108.

Respiratory Protection:

   If personal exposure cannot be controlled below applicable limits by ventilation, wear a properly fitted
      organic vapor/particulate respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for protection against materials in
      Section 2.

   When sanding or abrading the dried film, wear a dust/mist respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for
      dust which may be generated from this product, underlying paint, or the abrasive.

Protective Gloves:

   Wear gloves which are recommended by glove supplier for protection against materials in Section 2.

Eye Protection:

   Wear safety spectacles with unperforated sideshields.
