Section 3 -- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
Exposure may be by INHALATION and/or SKIN or EYE contact, depending on
conditions of use. To minimize exposure, follow recommendations for proper
use, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.
Continued on page 2
40.001014 40.001005 page 2
===========================================================================
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Irritation of eyes, skin and upper respiratory system.
May cause nervous system depression. Extreme overexposure may result in
unconsciousness and possibly death.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Headache, dizziness, nausea, and loss of coordination are indications of
excessive exposure to vapors or spray mists.
Redness and itching or burning sensation may indicate eye or excessive
skin exposure.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
None generally recognized.
CANCER INFORMATION
For complete discussion of toxicology data refer to Section 11.
===========================================================================
Section 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If INHALED: If affected, remove from exposure. Restore breathing.
Keep warm and quiet.
If on SKIN: Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use.
If in EYES: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention.
If SWALLOWED: Do not induce vomiting.
Get medical attention immediately.

FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION
Combustible, Flash above 99 and below 200 F
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat.
Application to hot surfaces requires special precautions.
During emergency conditions overexposure to decomposition products may
cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain
medical attention.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus
should be used.
Water spray may be ineffective. If water is used, fog nozzles are
preferable. Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent
pressure build-up and possible autoignition or explosion when exposed to
extreme heat.
===========================================================================
Section 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate the area.
Remove with inert absorbent.

Section 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORAGE CATEGORY
DOL Storage Class II
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE
Contents are COMBUSTIBLE. Keep away from heat and open flame.
Consult NFPA Code. Use approved Bonding and Grounding procedures.
Keep container closed when not in use. Transfer only to approved
containers with complete and appropriate labeling. Do not take internally.
Keep out of the reach of children.
===========================================================================
Section 8 -- EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN USE
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapor and spray mist.
Wash hands after using.
This coating may contain materials classified as nuisance particulates
(listed "as Dust" in Section 2) which may be present at hazardous levels
only during sanding or abrading of the dried film. If no specific dusts
are listed in Section 2, the applicable limits for nuisance dusts are ACGIH
TLV 10 mg/m3 (total dust), 3 mg/m3 (respirable fraction), OSHA PEL 15 mg/m3
(total dust), 5 mg/m3 (respirable fraction).
Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate
dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes may cause
brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or
pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances
requires the use of proper protective equipment, such as a properly fitted
respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper containment and cleanup. For more
information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD
(in US) or contact your local health authority.
VENTILATION
Local exhaust preferable. General exhaust acceptable if the exposure to
materials in Section 2 is maintained below applicable exposure limits.
Refer to OSHA Standards 1910.94, 1910.107, 1910.108.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If personal exposure cannot be controlled below applicable limits by
ventilation, wear a properly fitted organic vapor/particulate respirator
approved by NIOSH/MSHA for protection against materials in Section 2.
When sanding or abrading the dried film, wear a dust/mist respirator
approved by NIOSH/MSHA for dust which may be generated from this product,
underlying paint, or the abrasive.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Wear gloves which are recommended by glove supplier for protection
against materials in Section 2.
EYE PROTECTION
Wear safety spectacles with unperforated sideshields.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the
contents can be harmful or fatal.

Section 11 -- TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS
Ethylbenzene is classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans
(2B) based on inadequate evidence in humans and sufficient evidence in
laboratory animals. Lifetime inhalation exposure of rats and mice to high
ethylbenzene concentrations resulted in increases in certain types of
cancer, including kidney tumors in rats and lung and liver tumors in mice.
These effects were not observed in animals exposed to lower concentrations.
There is no evidence that ethylbenzene causes cancer in humans.
Prolonged overexposure to solvent ingredients in Section 2 may cause
adverse effects to the liver, urinary and reproductive systems.
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents
with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
