Section 3 - Health Hazard Data
HEALTH EFFECTS - (Acute and Chronic):
Ingestion: Because of the nature of the product, ingestion is unlikely.
Inhalation: HARMFUL IF INHALED. Overexposure can cause CNS depression with anaesthetic effects such
as dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination, and loss of consciousness. Higher exposures to
vapors may cause temporary alteration of the heart's electrical activity, with irregular pulse,
palpitations, or inadequate circulation; or fatality from gross overexposure.
Eye: Irritation. NOTE: Direct contact with spray may result in frostbite.
Skin: Irritation, defatting, dermatitis. NOTE: Direct contact with spray may result in frostbite.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY Inhalation, Skin
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE Not determined: however, exposure may
aggravate diseases of the central nervous system, heart rhythm or other cardiovascular diseases, or pulmonary
diseases. If a person has one or more of these problems, consult medical personnel to determine what steps should
be taken.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water, consult a physician.
Skin Contact: Do not apply directly to skin! If accidentally discharged onto skin, wash with soap and warm
water. Launder contaminated clothes before re-use.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Keep person warm and quiet. Apply artificial respiration if breathing has
stopped. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. **Get Medical Help at once**
Ingestion: An unlikely route of entry. However, if ingested, **Get Medical Help at once** Aspiration into
lungs can cause chemical pneumonia. **Induce vomiting ONLY IF advised by physician.**
**Note to Medical Personnel**
Because of increased risk of disturbances of cardiac rhythm, Catecholamine drugs such
as Epinephrine should be used only with special caution and only in situations of
emergency life support.

Section 5 - Physical Hazard Data
Flash Point (estimated) ............................ < 0掳 F Flammable Limits : LEL=1% UEL=18%
FLAMMABLE GAS VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE
Extinguishing Media
Carbon Dioxide, Foam, Dry Chemical, Water Fog. Using water to cool exposed containers may be useful.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures
At elevated temperatures (> 130掳 F) aerosol containers may burst, vent or rupture. Use equipment or shielding to
protect personnel against bursting, rupturing or venting containers. Cooling with water streams may be helpful.
Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full face piece operated in positive pressure
mode. See decomposition products.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Static-electric sparks have been known to ignite accumulated vapors. Use caution where static-electric sparks can
occur, such as around spinnerettes and extrusion dies. Ensure enough ventilation to avoid vapor accumulation,
especially when spraying where there is an enclosure that would otherwise let vapors accumulate.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid)
Strong oxidizers, strong caustics, reactive metals such as sodium, potassium, zinc, magnesium, aluminum.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Not determined, though carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrofluoric acid, fluorine, and carbonyl fluoride would be
expected.
Will Hazardous Polymerization Occur? No
Conditions to Avoid for Polymerization: N/A
Is the Product Stable? Yes
Conditions to Avoid for Stability
Avoid heat sufficient to burst container (see special fire fighting procedure above) and spraying into flame or onto red
hot surfaces, which may cause decomposition.
Section 6 - Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate area to reduce concentration of the components below their exposure limits.
Use protective equipment consistent with the situation. Pick up the spill on absorbent material; store in closed
containers for proper disposal. Remove residue to prevent a slippery condition developing.
Waste Disposal Methods
Consult Federal, State and Local regulations. Do not puncture or incinerate (burn) containers. Give empty, leaking,
or full containers to a disposal service equipped to handle and dispose of aerosol (pressurized) containers.

Section 7 - Exposure Control Information
Ventilation
General or local exhaust, or mechanical or special ventilation to maintain below exposure limits.
Also maintain enough ventilation to prevent fire/flash hazard from local accumulation of vapors, especially near
sources of high heat, electric arcs or static-electric sparks.
Respiratory Protection
Generally not required if sufficient ventilation is provided. If the exposure limits of the product or any of its
components are exceeded, an approved organic vapor mask should be used (consult your safety equipment
supplier).
Protective Gloves
Where prolonged or repeated contact with the spray mist or the deposited product is likely, the use of impervious
gloves (for example neoprene) is indicated.
Other Protective Equipment
As required by your Company. If contact with the spray is likely, eye protection is recommended. Goggles, safety
glasses with side shields or a face shield will provide protection in most situations.
Other Engineering Controls
To determine exposure levels, monitoring should be performed
Work Practices
Do not use in confined or closed space. We consider it good practice to limit exposure to any mold release mist to
the OSHA exposure limit of 5 mg/m3 TWA for oil mist or below the TLV/PEL value.
Hygienic Practices
Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking after using this or any chemical product.
Section 8 - Special Precautions
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage
Store in cool, dry area out of direct sunlight. Do not puncture, incinerate (burn), or store above 120掳 F.
Maintenance Precautions
Do not remove or deface label.
Additional Comments
N/A means not applicable.
The Flammable Limits are based on the minimum and maximum value of the components as known to us.
The aerosol package, when tested for flame projection, had a projection less than 12 inches and no burn-back
toward the nozzle.
Accumulated overspray could make floors slippery. Use necessary housekeeping and work rules to prevent
slipping.
