Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: FLAMMABLE liquid and vapor. Mutagenic Activity. Suspect Cancer Hazard. Contains
a material which may cause cancer. Risk of cancer depends on duration and level of exposure. Harmful if in
contact with skin. Harmful if swallowed. Mild eye irritant. Mild skin irritant. May cause skin sensitization.
Contains MDA which is a liver toxin.
Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Can cause eye irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause allergic
skin reaction. Direct skin contact may cause irritation.
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.
Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed.
Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Product may cause cancer after repeated exposure.
Repeated and/or prolonged exposure may cause allergic reaction / sensitization. Repeated and/or prolonged
Page 1 of 6
exposures may result in: liver disorders (such as jaundice or liver enlargement), kidney disorders (such as
edema, or proteinuria), blood chemistry changes (such as methemoglobinenia leading to cyanosis or loss of
consciousness), reproductive disorders (such as birth defects or sterility), adverse skin effects (such as
defatting, rash or irritation), adverse skin effects (such as rash irritation or corrosion). Dryness of nasal
passages may be experienced when material is inhaled over a long period of time. Product contains
methylenedianiline (MDA) which has been found to produce toxic hepatitus in man, as well as possible kidney,
blood, and spleen disorders. m-Phenylenediamine may affect the blood, causing the formation of
methemoglobin. Exposure may cause anemia, and kidney and liver impairment. m-Phenylenediamine has
produced positive results in mutagenicity and chromosome aberration studies. 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, Ingestion, Eye Contact
Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation by Exposure: Kidney Disorders, Liver disorders, Skin disorders
and allergies, Unknown blood disorders.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid - Eye Contact: If material gets into eyes, flush with water immediately for 15 minutes. Consult a
physician.
First Aid - Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 15
minutes. Seek medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Clean contaminated clothing and
shoes before re-use. Destroy contaminated leather articles.
First Aid - Inhalation: If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations (e.g. mouth to mouth).
Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. Seek medical advice. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel
should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. Move to fresh air.
First Aid - Ingestion: If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point, F: 48F (9C) Lower Explosive Limit, %: N/A
Upper Explosive Limit, %: N/A
(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. May generate toxic or irritating combustion products. Vapor may form explosive
mixtures with air. Contact of liquid with skin must be prevented. Sudden reaction and fire may result if product
is mixed with an oxidizing agent. May generate carbon monoxide gas. May generate toxic nitrogen oxide
gases. May generate ammonia gas. Personnel in vicinity and downwind should be evacuated.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Avoid contact with the skin. A face shield should be worn. Use personal
protective equipment. Wear Self-contained breathing apperatus for fire fighting if necessary. 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.
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.
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.

corrodes copper, aluminum, zinc and galvanized surfaces. Reaction with peroxides may result in violent
decomposition of peroxide, possibly creating an explosion.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and unidentified organic
compounds. Consider all smoke and fumes from burning material as very hazardous. Welding, cutting or
abrasive grinding can create smoke and fumes. Do not breathe any fumes or smoke from these operations.
