OSHA Class IB (flash point <73 F and boiling point >100 F).
FLASH POINT (F): 40.0 METHOD USED : TCC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME- LOWER: .85 UPPER: 24.6
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam. CO2. Dry chemical.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Evacuate hazard area of unprotected personnel.
Water spray may be ineffective. However, water may be used to cool closed
containers to prevent pressure buildup. Full protective equipment is
recommended including self contained breathing apparatus, to protect
firefighters from hazardous combustion products.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Isolate from heat, sparks, electrical equipment, and open flame. Vapors will
form explosive concentrations with air. Vapors travel long distances and may
flashback. Use mechanical ventilation when necessary to keep percent vapor
below the "Lower Explosion Level" (LEL). In closed containers, pressure buildup
may occur due to heat exposure. During emergency conditions, overexposure to
decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be
immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention.
Vapors are heavier than air and will accumulate.
======================== SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA =======================
STABILITY: Stable.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
High temperatures or direct heating.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID)
Oxygen and strong oxidants. Strong acids. Strong bases. Amines.
Will dissolve or soften some plastics and rubber.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS
Fumes produced when heated to decomposition, such as in welding, may include one
or more of the following: Carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide. Oxides of nitrogen.
Acrolein.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
==================== SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA =======================
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Dermal: X Inhalation: X Ingestion:
INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Overexposure via inhalation may cause central nervous system depression with
symptoms ranging from headaches, dizziness, loss of coordination, to
unconsciousness.
Deliberately breathing concentrated solvent vapor (glue sniffing) may result in
permanent brain and nervous system damage or death.
Crystalline silica dust can cause upper respiratory irritation.
Crystalline silica dust may cause upper respiratory irritation.
Prolonged overexposure to silica dust by inhalation may cause delayed lung
injury/disease (silicosis.) On the basis of initial experimental tests on
animals and limited epidemiological studies in human populations, the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that there is
limited evidence for the carcinogenicity of crystalline silica to humans.
Repeated overexposure to solvent vapors may result in damage to one or more of
the following: central nervous system, blood, liver, kidney, and/or hearing.
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may dry and defat the skin leading to
irritation and/or dermatitis.
Eye contact may cause severe irritation, redness, tearing, and/or blurred
vision.
Crystalline silica dust can cause irritation to the eyes.
No chronic skin effects known at this time.
SKIN ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
No chronic effects known at this time.
INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Ingestion may result in gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and/or
diarrhea.
No chronic effects known at this time.
OTHER HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC)
No other acute effects known at this time.
No other chronic effects known at this time.
CARCINOGENICITY: CONTAINS CARCINOGENS: Yes OSHA REGULATED: Yes
Ethyl Benzene is a suspected carcinogen.
Crystalline silica is a suspected or confirmed human carcinogen.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Pre-existing disorders, chronic respiratory diseases.
Individuals with pulmonary and/or respiratory disease including, but not limited

to, asthma and bronchitis, should not be exposed to silica dusts.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
If overcome by vapor, remove from exposure immediately; call a physician. If
breathing is irregular or stopped, start resuscitation; administer oxygen.
If ingested, do NOT induce vomiting; call a physician.
If splashed into the eyes, flush eyes with clear water for 15 minutes or until
irritation subsides; consult a physician as required.
In case of skin contact, remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin with
soap and warm water.
================== SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES ===================
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Remove all sources of ignition (flame, hot surfaces, and electrical, static or
frictional sparks), ventilate area, contain and remove with inert absorbent and
non-sparking tools. Refer to other hazard cautions contained on this sheet
before attempting clean-up.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
DANGER-Rags, towels, steel wool, or material waste (including overspray dustand
spray booth filters) contaminated with this product may spontaneously catch fire
if improperly discarded. Immediately after use, place rags, towels, steel wool,
or material waste in a sealed water-filled metal container.
Do not incinerate closed containers.
Dispose in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
============== SECTION VIII - SAFE HANDLING AND USE INFORMATION ==============
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Do not breathe vapors or mists. Wear a properly fitted vapor/particulate
respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA during application until all vapors and spray
mists are exhausted. Do not permit anyone without protection in the painting
area.
In confined areas, use NIOSH/MSHA approved positive-pressure, air supplied
respirator or use hoods.
Use ventilation to keep levels below exposure guidelines (see Section II.) User
should test and monitor exposure levels to insure all personnel exposure is
below guidelines. If not sure or if not able to monitor levels, use a
NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator.
VENTILATION
Pockets of heavy and/or flammable vapor must not be permitted to form.
Ventilation and respiratory protection must be adequate to prevent the TLV's of
hazardous ingredients from being exceeded.
All application areas should be ventilated in accordance with OSHA regulations.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Chemical resistant nitrile, neoprene or rubber gloves required.
EYE PROTECTION
Use safety eyewear with splash guards or side shields.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
Use protective apron and clothing.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Wash hands before eating or using washroom. Smoke in smoking areas only. Wash

clothes before reuse.
===================== SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ======================
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Do not store or use near heat, sparks, or flame. No smoking or open lights.
Use with adequate ventilation.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Store in sealed containers away from space heating equipment.
Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid
prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand, remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD
IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN
DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE.
Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully
with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect
yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at
1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
