5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION:
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Large spill -- dike up and pump into appropriate containers.
Small spill -- use noncombustible absorbent material/sand and shovel into suitable containers.
DISPOSAL METHOD: Large quantities should be recovered. Collect small quantities in waste metal
drums and seal for removal to an approved landfill, or incinerate in accordance with local, state, and
federal regulations.
6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA:
EYE: May cause severe irritation with corneal injury, which may result in permanent impairment of vision,
even blindness. Vapors may irritate eyes.
SKIN CONTACT: May cause severe injury to skin following prolonged or repeated contact, and may
cause skin sensitization or other allergic responses.
SKIN ABSORPTION: A single prolonged exposure may result in the material being absorbed in harmful
amounts. The LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is 880 mg/kg.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is low. The oral LD50 for female rats is >1000 mg/kg. Ingestion may
cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration. Ingestion may cause burns of mouth and throat.
INHALATION: May cause respiratory sensitization or asthma in susceptible individuals. Excessive
exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract.
SYSTEMIC & OTHER EFFECTS: Results of in vitro ("test tube") mutagenicity tests have been negative
and positive.
7. FIRST AID:
EYES: Immediate and continuous irrigation with flowing water for at least 30 minutes is required. Promptly
seek medical attention.
SKIN: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing, preferably under a safety shower. Seek medical attention immediately. Avoid prolonged or
repeated contact to skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water or milk if available and transport to
medical facility.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Corrosive. May cause stricture. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal
and/or esophagoscopic control. If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No
specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgement of the physician in response to
reactions of the patient.
8. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(S): None established.
VENTILATION: Control airborne concentration below the exposure guideline. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Material Safety Data Sheet
Material Identity: Klear Kote Hardener
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline.
When respiratory protection is required for certain operations, use an approved air-purifying respirator.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use protective clothing impervious to this material. Selection of specific items such
as gloves, boots, apron, or full-body suit will depend on operation. Safety shower should be located in
immediate work area. Remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water,
and launder clothing before reuse. Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watchbands,
should be removed and destroyed.
EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical goggles. If vapor exposure causes eye irritation, use a full-face
respirator. Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area.
9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
