         Section 3          Hazard Identification

Emergency Overview:                 This product is a clear liquid with a characteristic smell and flash

point of 5oF.



Primary Routes of Exposure:

         Skin Contact

         Eye Contact

         Inhalation

         Ingestion



Potential Acute Health Effects:

Eye: One or more components of this material is an eye irritant. Direct contact with the

liquid or exposure to vapors or mists may cause stinging, tearing, redness and swelling.



Skin: One or more components of this material is a skin irritant. Direct contact with this

material may cause redness, burning and skin damage. Contact may result in skin

absorption but symptoms of toxicity are not anticipated by this route alone under normal

conditions of use. Persons with preexisting skin disorders may be more susceptible to the

effects of this material.



Ingestion: One or more components of this material is toxic and may be harmful if

swallowed. Effects of overexposure may include: Irritation of the digestive tract, signs

of nervous system depression (e.g. headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination

and fatigue), visual disturbances (including blindness), convulsions, coma, death,

diarrhea. Aspiration Hazard: One or more components of this material can enter lungs

during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung inflammation and damage.



Inhalation: While this material has a low degree of toxicity, breathing high

concentrations of vapors or mists may cause: Irritation of the nose and throat, signs of

nervous system depression (e.g. headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination

and fatigue), nausea. Respiratory symptoms associated with preexisting lung disorders

(e.g. asthma-like conditions) may be aggravated by exposure to this material.

         Section 4          First Aid Measures



Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention

if irritation persists.







N/A: Not Applicable      N/D: Not Determined      N/E: Not Established   N/R: Not Required      Est.: Estimated



Parks Lacquer Thinner (5-18-06)                                                      Page 2 of 7 pages.

Skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation

develops or persists.

Ingestion:     If swallowed, Contact a physician or Poison Control Center. This material may

pose an aspiration hazard. Do Not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical

personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. The symptoms of chemical

pneumonitis often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated

by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is

difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.





        Section 5          Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point (method): 5oF.

Extinguishing Media: Extinguish with dry chemical, CO2 or universal type foam.

Protection of Firefighters: This material is extremely flammable and may be ignited

by heat, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition (e.g., static electricity, smoking, pilot

lights or mechanical/electrical equipment). Vapors may travel considerable distances to a

source of ignition where they may ignite, flash back or explode. May create vapor/air

explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Vapors are heavier than air and may

accumulate in low areas. If container is not properly cooled, it may explode in the heat

of a fire.

LEL: 1.0%                                UEL: 36.0%



        Section 6          Accidental Release Measures

Clean Up Methods: Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary people away. Dike and

contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.). Transfer liquid to containers for recovery or

disposal, or absorb with absorbent materials and place into containers for disposal. Keep spill

out of sewer and open bodies of water. Floors may be slippery; care should be exercised to

avoid falls during clean up operations.

(See also Section 8 for information on Exposure Controls and Personal Protective Equipment)





        Section 7          Handling and Storage

Handling: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame and all other sources of ignition. Ground

all equipment. Do not breathe vapor. Do not take internally. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or

clothing. Use with adequate ventilation or use approved respirator. When handling, wear

chemical splash goggles, protective clothing and solvent resistant gloves. Wash thoroughly after

handling or contact. Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas where this product is used. Do not

apply air pressure, puncture or weld on or near containers.

Storage: Store containers in cool, dry, ventilated, fire resistant area away from heat and

separated from oxidizers.





        Section 8         Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Engineering Controls:         Use in well-ventilated areas. If necessary use mechanical local

exhaust ventilation or general room dilution ventilation to reduce vapor concentrations.



Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Eye Protection:        Prevent eye contact. Wear chemical splash goggles or similar eye

protection if the potential exists for eye contact.

Skin Protection:     Prevent skin contact. Wear chemical-resistant flexible-type gloves

(neoprene, PVC, butyl, nitrile or similar). Depending on conditions of use additional protective

equipment may be necessary such as face-shield, apron or coveralls.

Respiratory Protection:       None required for normally expected use conditions. If

occupational exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation is experienced, wear an appropriate

NIOSH approved respirator with organic vapor cartridges.

General Hygiene Practices: Wash after handling material. Prevent Eye contact. Avoid

prolonged skin and inhalation contact. Wash thoroughly before handling food, cosmetics, or

before smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.

Carcinogenicity:     The following ingredients are present at greater than 0.1% and are

classified by IARC, NTP, or regulated by OSHA as carcinogenic:

Ingredient                CAS #                     IARC               NTP            OSHA

Potential Chronic Health Effects:

Methanol, a component of this product, causes harm to the fetus in laboratory animal

studies. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain. Results of tests in

workers exposed to high concentrations have shown that Toluene, a component of this

product, can cause irreversible changes in the genetic material (DNA) of a cell. The

human health consequence of these changes is not fully understood. Intentional misuse

by deliberate inhalation of Toluene has been shown to cause liver, kidney and brain

damage. Toluene, a component of this product, causes harm to the fetus in laboratory

animal studies. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain. Persons with

preexisting heart disorders may be more susceptible to irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias)

if exposed to high concentrations of this material (See Section II - Note to Physician).

Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents

with permanent brain and nervous system damage (sometimes referred to as Solvent or

Painter's Syndrome). Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the

contents may be harmful or fatal.
