Material is not known to contain Toxic Chemicals under section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 and 40 CFR 372. Product alkaline to PH-10. May cause stomach distress if ingested. Do not
ingest.
SECTION 3 鈥? HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: No significant immediate hazards for emergency response are known. Milky white liquid
emulsion. Slight odor. Dike and contain spill. Avoid dilution of spills.
EYE CONTACT May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury unlikely.
SKIN CONTACT Short single exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Prolonged and repeated
exposure may cause slight skin irritation. Material may stick to skin causing irritation upon
removal. A single, prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed
through skin in harmful amounts.
INHALATION With good ventilation, a single exposure to vapors is not expected to cause adverse effects.
INGESTION Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be extremely low. No hazards anticipated from
swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling operations.
SYSTEMIC EFFECTS No relevant information found.
(Other target organs)
SECTION 4 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID
EYE CONTACT Immediately flush eyes with large quantities of clean water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a
physician.
SKIN CONTACT Wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if irritation
develops. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
INHALATION Remove affected individual(s) to fresh air. Seek medical attention if breathing difficulty develops.
INGESTION If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel.
NOTES TO No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgement of the physician in response
PHYSICIAN to reactions of the patient.

FLASH POINT Not applicable
METHOD USED Not applicable
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE Not applicable
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR (LOWER) Not applicable
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR (UPPER) Not applicable
FIRE FIGHTING EXTINGUISHING MEDIA To extinguish combustible residues of this product, use water fog, carbon
dioxide, dry chemical or foam.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full fire-fighting
protective clothing. If protective equipment is not available or not used,
fight fire from a protected location or safe distance.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Keep people away. Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary entry.
Containers of this material may build up pressure if exposed to heat (fire).
Use a water spray to cool fire-exposed containers.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARDS This material will not burn unless it is evaporated to dryness.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS Under fire conditions, some components of this product may decompose.
The smoke may contain unidentified toxic and/or irritating compounds.
Hazardous combustion products may include and are not limited to
hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and dense smoke.
SECTION 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
PERSONAL Avoid unnecessary exposure and contact. Barricade the area to restrict access. Persons
PRECAUTIONS not wearing protective equipment (see section 8) should be excluded from the area of the
spill until clean-up has been completed.
ENVIRONMENTAL Stop leak at source when it is safe to do so. Dike and contain spill. Prevent spilled
PRECAUTIONS material from contaminating soil or entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of
water.
CLEANUP PROCEDURES Avoid dilution with water to minimize the extent of the spill. Recover and recycle spilled
latex if possible, otherwise, collect with absorbent material and transfer to appropriate
containers for disposal. Water may be used for final cleaning of affected area.
SECTION 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Practice reasonable care to avoid repeated, prolonged skin contact. An eye wash station and a safety
shower should be readily accessible to workers wherever this material is stored or used.
Keep from freezing. Store at temperatures between 40O F and 110O F. Material may develop bacteria
STORAGE:
odor on long-term storage. No safety problems known.
SECTION 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE LIMITS GUIDELINES There are no exposure limits assigned to the polymer in this product by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or American Conference
of Governmental Industrial Hygenists (ACGIH).
ENGINEERING CONTROLS Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EYES: Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
EQUIPMENT
庐
SKIN: Wear clean, long-sleeved, body-covering, clothing. Nitrile, neoprene , or
rubber gloves should provide protection against skin contact.
INHALATION: For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed;
however, if material is heated or sprayed, or areas are poorly ventilated, use an
approved air-purifying respirator.

SECTION 10 鈥揝TABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY This material is stable during storage and during its extended use.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS/SUBSTANCES Addition of chemicals, such as acids or multivalent metal salts, may
cause coagulation.
Avoid freezing temperatures (less than 32O F or 0O C). Products
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
decompose at elevated temperatures.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS Hazardous decomposition products depend upon temperature, air
supply and the presence of other materials. Thermal decomposition
may produce various hydrocarbons and irritating, acrid vapors.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
SECTION 11 鈥? TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
ACUTE TOXICITY Refer to section 3 for available information on potential health effects. For detailed
(HUMANS) toxicological data, write or call the address or non-emergency number shown in section 1.
SKIN: Based on properties of similar polymers, the polymer is not hazardous.
INGESTION: Based on properties of similar polymers, the polymer is not hazardous.
INHALATION: Based on properties of similar polymers, the polymer is not hazardous.
SECTION 12 鈥? ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
MOVEMENT & PARTITIONING Latex dispersions will color water a milky white. No bioconcentration of the
