 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION



A. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:



Physical Appearance and Odor:

blue viscous liquid, alcohol-like odor.

Warning Statements:

WARNING!! FLAMMABLE LIQUID. CONTAINS AN ORGANOTIN COMPOUND WHICH MAY BE

TOXIC BY INGESTION, INHALATION AND ABSORPTION, IS A SKIN IRRITANT AND SEVERE

EYE IRRITANT AND CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE CHRONIC EFFECTS. If moisture is present,

methanol may be emitted before and during curing and is irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory

tract. Methanol, at high concentrations, can have central nervous system effects and may cause

blindness if swallowed (unlikely route for exposure in this form).



B. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:



Acute Eye:

Irritant. Methanol, emitted during curing, may cause redness, tissue destruction, irritation.



Acute Skin:

Toxic if absorbed through skin. Irritant. Methanol, emitted during curing, may cause redness,

dryness, loss of natural oils, irritation.



Acute Inhalation:

Toxic if inhaled. Methanol, emitted during curing, may cause upper respiratory tract irritation,

dizziness, headache.



Acute Ingestion:

Harmful if ingested. Can cause blindness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain.



Chronic Effects:

This product does not contain any ingredient designated by IARC, NTP, ACGIH or OSHA as

probable or suspected human carcinogens. Organotin compounds can affect the central nervous

system, respiratory system, eyes, liver, urinary tract, skin and blood. Symptoms include sore

throat, cough, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, weakness.







 4. FIRST AID MEASURES



FIRST AID MEASURES FOR ACCIDENTAL:



Eye Exposure:

In case of contact, immediately absorb excess with clean absorbent cloth or cotton. Then, hold

eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical

attention if irritation develops or persists or if visual changes occur.



Skin Exposure:

Immediately wipe excess material off skin with a dry cloth; then wash skin with plenty of soap and

water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.



Inhalation:

If respiratory irritation or distress occurs remove victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if

respiratory irritation or distress continues.



Ingestion:

If victim is conscious and alert, give 1-2 glasses of water to drink. Do not give anything by mouth

to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention. Do not leave victim unattended.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS POSSIBLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:

No specific information found.



NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:

All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient.

Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this

product may have occurred.

Evacuation Procedures and Safety:

Wear appropriate protective gear for the situation. See Personal Protection information in Section

8. CAUTION: Spilled material may make the floor slippery. Do not leave traces of product on

floors, ladders, etc., as this may present a slipping hazard.



Containment of Spill:

Follow procedure described below under Cleanup and Disposal of Spill.



Cleanup and Disposal of Spill:

Absorb with an inert absorbent. Scrape up and place in appropriate closed container (see Section

7: Handling and Storage). Clean up residual material with an appropriate solvent like paint thinner

or mineral spirits, provided that there is good ventilation and no sources of ignition.



Environmental and Regulatory Reporting:

Do not flush to drain.







 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE



Minimum/Maximum Storage Temperatures:

< 32 C (90 F)



Handling:

Avoid breathing vapors and mists. Avoid direct or prolonged contact with skin and eyes. Use

nonsparking tools and grounded/bonded equipment and containers when transferring. DO NOT

ALLOW TO FREEZE.



Storage:

Store in tightly closed containers. Store in an area that is clean, dry, well-ventilated, away from

combustible material, away from ignition sources, away from incompatible materials (see Section

10. Stability and Reactivity).







 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION



Introductory Remarks:

These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product. Because specific

work environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed

for each intended application. While developing safe handling procedures, do not overlook the

need to clean equipment and piping systems for maintenance and repairs. Waste resulting from

these procedures should be handled in accordance with Section 13: Disposal Considerations.



Assistance with selection, use and maintenance of worker protection equipment is generally

available from equipment manufacturers.



This product can form formaldehyde vapors when heated to temperatures above 150 degrees C

in the presence of air. Formaldehyde is a potential cancer hazard, a known skin and respiratory

sensitizer, and an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat, skin, and digestive system. Safe handling

conditions may be maintained by keeping vapor concentrations within the OSHA Permissible

Exposure Limit for formaldehyde.



Exposure Guidelines:

Exposure limits represent regulated or recommended worker breathing zone concentrations

measured by validated sampling and analytical methods, meeting the regulatory requirements.

The following limits apply to this material, where, if indicated, S=skin and C=ceiling limit:

Engineering Controls:

Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or a potential for excessive exposure

exists, the following traditional exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize

employee exposures: general area dilution/exhaust ventilation.



Respiratory Protection:

When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment based on actual or

potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards

and/or industrial recommendations.



Under normal conditions, in the absence of other airborne contaminants, the following devices

should provide protection from this material up to the conditions specified by the appropriate

OSHA, WHMIS or ANSI standard(s): Air-purifying (half-mask/full-face) respirator with

cartridges/canister approved for use against organic vapors.



Eye/Face Protection:

Eye and face protection requirements will vary dependent upon work environment conditions and

material handling practices. Appropriate ANSI Z87 approved equipment should be selected for

the particular use intended for this material.



It is generally regarded as good practice to wear a minimum of safety glasses with side shields

when working in industrial environments.



Skin Protection:

Skin contact should be minimized through use of gloves and suitable long-sleeved clothing (i.e.,

shirts and pants). Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation

resistance.



Work Practice Controls:

Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control measure and the following

general measures should be taken when working with or handling this material:

 (1) Do not store, use, and/or consume foods, beverages, tobacco products, or cosmetics in

     areas where this material is stored.

 (2) Wash hands and face carefully before eating, drinking, using tobacco, applying

     cosmetics, or using the toilet.

 (3) Wash exposed skin promptly to remove accidental splashes or contact with this

     material.
