Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Warning! Flammable. Harmful if inhaled. Causes eye and skin irritation.
Aspiration may cause lung damage. May cause dizziness and drowsiness. Keep away from heat, sparks,
flame. Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not swallow. Keep container
closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: May cause eye burns.
Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: May cause skin burns.
Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled, may affect the brain or nervous system,
causing dizziness, headache, or nausea. May cause nose and throat irritation. May cause lung injury.
Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed.
Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged
occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact
Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation by Exposure: If you have a condition that could be
aggravated by exposure to dust or organic vapors, see a physician prior to use.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid - Eye Contact: If material gets into eyes, flush with water immediately for 15 minutes. Consult
Page 1 of 5
a physician.
First Aid - Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Launder clothing before reuse. If rash or irritation develops, consult a
physician.
First Aid - Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Administer oxygen if necessary. Consult a
physician if symptoms persist or exposure was severe.
First Aid - Ingestion: If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point, F: 91F (32C) Lower Explosive Limit, %: 1.4
Upper Explosive Limit, %: 11.2
(Setaflash)
Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: Flammable Liquid. Vapors are heavier than air and will
accumulate. Vapors will form explosive concentrations with air. Vapors travel long distances and will
flashback. Use mechanical ventilation when necessary to keep percent vapor below the "Lower Explosion
Level" (LEL). Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep away from sparks, open flames and heat sources. All
electric equipment and installations should be made and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. In areas where explosion hazards exist, workers should be required to use non-ferrous
tools and to wear conductive and non-sparking shoes.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Flammable. Cool fire-exposed containers using water spray.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled: Eliminate all ignition sources. Handling
equipment must be grounded to prevent sparking. Evacuate the area of unprotected personnel. Wear
appropriate personal protection clothing and equipment. Follow exposure controls/personal protection
guidelines in Section 8. Contain and soak up residual with an aborbent (clay or sand). Take up absorbant
material and seal tightly for proper disposal. Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal
regulations. Refer to Section 15 for SARA Title III and CERCLA information.
Section 7 - Handling And Storage
Handling: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Wear
personal protection equipment. Do not breathe vapors. Wash thoroughly after handling. If pouring or
transferring materials, ground all containers and tools. Do not weld, heat, cut or drill on full or empty
containers. Use only in accordance with Carboline application instructions, container label and Product
Data Sheet.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and oxidizing agents. Keep containers closed. Store
in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation when required to keep below health exposure
guidelines and Lower Explosion Limit (LEL).
Respiratory Protection: Use only with ventilation to keep levels below exposure guidelines listed in
Section 2. User should test and monitor exposure levels to ensure all personnel are below guidelines. If
not sure, or not able to monitor, use MSHA/NIOSH approved supplied air respirator. Follow all current
OSHA requirements for respirator use. For silica containing coatings in a liquid state, and/or if no
exposure limits are established in Section 2 above, supplied air respirators are generally not required.
Skin Protection: Recommend impervious gloves and clothing to avoid skin contact. If material penetrates
to skin, change gloves and clothing. The use of protective creams may be beneficial to certain individuals.
Page 2 of 5
Protective creams should be applied before exposure.
Eye Protection: Recommend safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles to avoid eye contact.
Other protective equipment: Eye wash and safety showers should be readily available.
Hygienic Practices: Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or
using toilet facilities. Use of a hand cleaner is recommended. Launder contaminated clothing before
reuse. Leather shoes can absorb and allow hazardous materials to pass through. Check shoes carefully
after soaking before reuse.
