* Trichloroethylene 79-01-6 > 90% 100 ppm TWA
Phenolic Resin None < 1% 2 ppm TWA
鈥? Denotes chemical subject to reporting requirements of Section 313 of Title III of the 1986 Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) and 40 CFR Part 372
3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE: Liquid in eyes produces pain and irritation with mild temporary damage possible. Vapor can irritate eyes.
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact of liquid can cause irritation, defatting of skin and dermatitis. Absorption of
liquid through intact skin is possible, causing systemic poisoning, but this is an unlikely route of significant toxic
exposure.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal
handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury. If aspirated
(liquid enters the lung), may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other body systems.
INHALATION: Inhalation is the major potential route of exposure. Exposure to high concentrations of vapor or
mist can cause central nervous system depression with symptoms of headache, dizziness, stupor, loss of
consciousness or death depending on concentration and duration of exposure. Exposure to high concentrations can
cause irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest and death. Overexposure has been shown to cause adverse effects on the
liver, nervous system and other internal organs.

SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGANS): The main ingredient of this product, Trichloroethylene, is reported to
have caused hearing loss in lab animals upon repeated exposure of 2500 ppm or higher. Repeated exposure may
cause central or possibly even peripheral nervous system effects; high levels have caused liver or kidney effects in lab
animals.
CANCER INFORMATION: For Hazard Communication purposes, under OSHA Standard 29 CFR Part
1910.1200, the main ingredient of this product, Trichloroethylene, is listed as a potential carcinogen by IARC.
Tumors were observed in mice given large doses of Trichloroethylene (TCE). A very low incidence of tumors has
been observed in male rats at high levels of TCE, which caused reduced survival, rending these studies inadequate.
Data suggest a nongenotoxic mechanism for tumor formation that implies that nontoxic doses of TCE should pose
little or not carcinogenic hazard. Human data have not established an association between TCE exposure and cancer.
TCE is not believed to pose a measurable carcinogenic risk to man when handled as recommended.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): None
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: None
4. FIRST AID
EYES: Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes while frequently lifting the upper
and lower eyelids. If irritation persists, consult medical personnel.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician and/or transport to emergency facility immediately.
SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, qualified
personnel should administer oxygen. Call a physician or transport to medical facility.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Chlorinated hydrocarbons may sensitize the heart to epinephrine and other circulating
catecholamines so that arrhythmias may occur. Careful consideration of this potential adverse effect should precede
administration of epinephrine or other cardiac stimulants and the selection of bronchodilators.

KEX/PERFICURE BEAD SEALER
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Keep people away. Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary entry. Contain
fire run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained may cause environmental damage. Use water spray to
cool fire exposed conatiners and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Immediately
withdraw all personnel from area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container.
Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas where gases
(fumes) can accumulate. Eliminate ignition source.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, pants, boots and gloves).
If protection equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In case of accidental release of a large volume of this product, clear all personnel from area. Do not breathe vapors.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear protective equipment including positive pressure self-contained or air supplied
breathing apparatus. Follow confined space entry procedures if applicable, ASTM D-4276 and OSHA 29CFR
1910.146. Contain liquid to prevent contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. Material is heavier than
water and has limited water solubility. It will collect on the lowest surface. For large spills; contain liquid; transfer
to properly labeled closed metal containers. For small spills: mop or soak up immediately. Place in properly labeled
metal containers. Notify National Response Center (800-424-8802) of uncontained releases to the environment in
excess of the Reportable Quantity (RQ). For all transportation accidents, call CHEMTREC at 800-424-9300.
7. HANDLING & STORAGE
HANDLING: Very large quantities of these packages, if mishandled, may accumulate enough liquid or vapor to
cause a harmful atmosphere; however, the probability of this type of release is quite small. If large numbers of these
containers are opened, releasing the contents, evacuate the area and call for emergency personnel.
STORAGE: Keep packaged in original, labeled containers until use. Store in cool, dry place. Do not store in
aluminum, zinc, aluminum alloys and plastic containers. Do not remove or deface label. Prevent water or moist air
from entering containers. Do not reuse container without recycling or reconditioning in accordance with any
applicable Federal, State or local laws. Do not use cutting or welding torches, open flames, or electric arcs on empty
or full containers.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels to below exposure guidelines.
PERSONAL PROTRECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses. Contact lenses should not be exposed. Chemical goggles and/or
face shields should be worn when splashing is a possibility. If vapor exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face
respirator.

KEX/PERFICURE BEAD SEALER
SKIN PROTECTION: Wear solvent-resistant gloves such as Viton, polyvinyl alcohol, or equivalent. Solvent
resistant boots, apron, headgear and/or face shield should be worn where splashing is a possibility.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. In the
unlikely event where vapor concentration exceeds or is likely to exceed the OSHA PEL, a NIOSH-approved,
continuous flow supplied air-respirator, hood or helmet is acceptable. A NIOSH approved self-contained breathing
apparatus or supplied-air respirator, with full-face piece, is required for vapor concentrations above 625 ppm. A
NIOSH approved self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus, with full facepiece, is required for spills
and/or emergencies. For emergencies in confined or poorly ventilated areas, call for properly trained emergency
personnel.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(s): REMA TIP/TOP USA recommends that its customers minimize employee exposure.
REMA therefore suggests that its customers consider adopting the lower of the current OSHA PEL or the ACGIH
TLV鈥檚 for the purpose of evaluating employee exposures. The TLV鈥檚 recommended by the ACGIH have been
updated on a continuing basis. ACGIH TLV (8 hr) is 50 ppm; 100 ppm STEL. OSHA PEL is 100 ppm (8hr) TWA;
200 ppm Ceiling. ACGIH Biological Exposure Indices: Blood = 4 mg/L; Urine = 100 mg/g creatinine.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE TOXICITY
INHALATION: 200 ppm causes mild eye irritation. 400 ppm causes slight eye irritation and minimal light-
headedness after 3 hours. 1,000-1,200 ppm after 6 minutes causes eye and nasal irritation, light-headedness and
dizziness. 2,000 ppm cannot generally be tolerated, is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract and causes
drowsiness, dizziness and nausea within 5 minutes. Ventricular arrhythmias and very rapid respiration have been
observed in individuals exposed to 15,000 ppm. High concentrations or prolonged overexposure can cause
unconsciousness and death.
CHRONIC TOXICITY
Chronic overexposure to the ingredient Trichloroethylene has caused toxic effects in the liver, lymphatic system (one
species), kidney and cardiovascular system of experimental animals. Humans exposed to Trichloroethylene can
become intolerant to ethyl alcohol, with small quantities causing inebriation and skin blotches. Reports have been
published associating increased incidences of scieroderma (systemic scierosis) with exposure to Trichloroethylene.
The finding of chronic toxic effects in lab animals may indicate toxicity to humans. Overexposure should be
avoided; failure to do so could result in illness, injury or even death depending on the level and duration of exposure.
12. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL: Do not dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water. All disposal methods must be
in compliance with all Federal, State/Provincial and local laws and regulations. Regulations may vary in different
locations. Waste characterizations and compliance with applicable laws are the responsibility of the waste generator.
UNUSED & UNCONTAMINATED PRODUCT: The preferred options include sending to a licensed, permitted
recycler, reclaimer, incinerator or other thermal destruction device.
