EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Combustible
Causes skin irritation.
Moderate respiratory tract irritant.
Harmful if swallowed.
Cancer hazard.
HMIS RATING: HEALTH -- 2 FLAMMABILITY -- 2 REACTIVITY -- 0
See SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION for personal protective equipment
recommendations.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS BY ROUTE OF ENTRY
EYE: Can cause minor irritation, tearing and reddening.
SKIN: Can cause moderate skin irritation, defatting, and dermatitis. Not likely to cause permanent damage.
INHALATION: Can cause moderate respiratory irritation. Inhalation of dusts produced during cutting, grinding or
sanding of this product may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Other possible symptoms include coughing or wheezing.
Inhalation of high concentrations may result in central nervous system (CNS) effects such as dizziness, weakness,
fatigue, nausea, headache, and lack of coordination. Overexposure to crystalline silica may cause silicosis.This
product contains one or more materials that may be hazardous when present as an airborne dust. During normal
handling of the product, the material is encapsulated within the product and will not present an exposure risk. Once
the product has reached its final state and is abraded or disturbed, dusting and exposure may occur.
INGESTION: Ingestion is not an anticipated route of exposure. Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to mouth, throat,
and stomach.
LONG-TERM (CHRONIC) HEALTH EFFECTS
REPRODUCTIVE: Contains a substance that is a probable reproductive hazard based on human
studies.

TARGET ORGAN(S): Blood Central nervous system Lungs Kidneys Liver
REGULATED CARCINOGEN STATUS:
Unless noted below, this product does not contain regulated levels of NTP, IARC, ACGIH, or OSHA listed
carcinogens.
Crystalline silica
Antimony trioxide
Ethylbenzene
EXISTING HEALTH CONDITIONS AFFECTED BY EXPOSURE: Blood disorders (like anemia); Lung disease;
Kidney disease; Liver disease
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES: Use an eye wash to remove a chemical from your eye regardless of the level of hazard. Flush the
affected eye for at least twenty minutes. Tilt the head to prevent chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated
eye. Seek medical advice after flushing.
IF ON SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists.
IF VAPORS INHALED: Remove to fresh air. Restore breathing, if necessary. Call a physician if symptoms
persist.
IF SWALLOWED: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. Drink two glasses of water or
milk to dilute. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Induced vomiting may lead to aspiration of
the material into the lungs potentially causing chemical pneumonitis that may be fatal.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: 43C; 109F TCC
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not established
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (% in air): Not established
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (% in air): Not established
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors are heavier than air and can travel to a source of ignition
and flash back.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Persons exposed to products of combustion should wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide Chlorine containing gases
Sulfur containing gases Nitrogen containing gases
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPECIAL PROTECTION: Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow
personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of this
MSDS. Additional precautions may be necessary based on special
circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity
of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred. Evaporation of volatile
substances can lead to the displacement of air creating an environment that
can cause asphyxiation.
CLEAN-UP: Dike if necessary, contain spill with inert absorbent and transfer to containers
for disposal. Keep spilled product out of sewers, watersheds, or water
systems.
Shut off ignition sources; including electrical equipment and flames. Do not
allow smoking in the area.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Harmful or irritating material. Avoid contacting and avoid breathing the material. Use only in
a well ventilated area.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Keep container closed.
Emptied container retains vapor and product residue.
Observe all labeled precautions until container is cleaned.
Drums of this material should be grounded when pouring.
DO NOT CUT OR WELD ON OR NEAR THIS CONTAINER.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, ventilated location. Keep away from heat and flame. Keep container
closed.
Consult the Technical Data Sheet for specific storage instructions.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses when handling this product.
SKIN PROTECTION: Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves and long
sleeved shirt. An apron may be appropriate if splashing can occur.
Skin absorption may potentially contribute to the overall exposure to
this material. Appropriate measures should be taken to prevent
absorption so that the TLV is not invalidated.
GLOVES: Nitrile
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Respiratory protection may be required to avoid overexposure when
handling this product. Use a respirator if general room ventilation is
not available or sufficient to eliminate symptoms. NIOSH approved
air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge.
Respirators should be selected by and used following requirements
found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134).
VENTILATION: Use local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to
minimize exposures.
