medical help if irritation or discomfort persists.
Skin Absorption: Not expected to occur. Wash with soap and water.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical help if persistent irritation, severe coughing, or breathing
difficulty occurs.
Note to Physician: If medical assistance is necessary, have copies of this MSDS available.
5. Fire and Explosion Data
Flash Point (Method Used): Not combustible.
LFL = NAP UFL = NAP
Flammable Limits:
Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, and carbon dioxide.
Autoignition Temperature: NAP
Special Firefighting Procedures: Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be
worn in chemical fires. Water may be ineffective, serving only to spread product, but may be used to
cool containers.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: The wet ink is not flammable. The bulk of the ink will not burn.
If heated to dryness, the remaining organic polymers and pigments, although difficult to ignite, will
burn as a class III B fire. It is recommended that containers be tightly closed and isolated from heat,
electrical equipment, and flame. A closed container could possibly explode when exposed to
extreme heat.
Health = 1 Fire = 0 Physical Hazard = 0
HMIS Rating (Scale 0-4):
Health = 2 Fire = 0 Reactivity = 0
NFPA Rating (Scale 0-4):
6. Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken In Case Material Is Released or Spilled: For small spills, material may be diluted
with water and discharged to sewer. Large spills should be diked containing spill with absorbent
material such as clay or commercially available material and placed in containers for disposal. Wear
safety glasses and rubber gloves to minimize exposure.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken In Handling and Storage: Follow standard industrial practices when handling
this product or empty containers. Avoid getting product on skin, eyes, or clothing. If contact with the
product occurs, remove effected clothing and wash with soap and water. Store in a cool, dry, well
ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Avoid excessive hot or cold temperatures. Keep
containers tightly closed when not in use.

8. Exposure Control Measures, Personal Protection
Personal Protective Equipment:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION 鈥? Under normal conditions of use, respiratory protection is not required.
If a fog or mist is produced, use NIOSH approved respirator with organic vapor absorbing cartridges.
The respirator program must comply with OSHA and ANSI standards.
EYE PROTECTION 鈥? Chemical splash goggles recommended.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES 鈥? Chemically resistant rubber gloves are recommended.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT 鈥? Eye wash station should be provided if there is a
splash hazard.
WORK/HYGIENE PRACTICES 鈥? Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, and at the end of the
shift.
Ventilation:
LOCAL EXHAUST 鈥? Provide local exhaust as needed so that exposure limits are met.
MECHANICAL (GENERAL) 鈥? Provide general ventilation in processing and storage areas so that
exposure limits are met.
SPECIAL 鈥? None.
OTHER 鈥? None.
