Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
Class A with a Zero ignitions with a flame spread test. With
Weyerhaeuser Company, Fire Technology Unit. Product was
also tested in accordance with ASTM E-84-81a. 鈥淪moke
attained was Zero. Product contains dispersed Latex and water
solvent. The flames spread index determined meets the criteria
for Class A material over A/C/ Substrate.
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT N.A.
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT N.A.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE Zero ignition.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA FOAM CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, WATER, FOG foam.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS None Known. Some Gases, Hydrogen Chloride, carbon
monoxide, Aldehydes.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES Containers exposed to fire should be kept cool with water spray.
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat (fire). As in
any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-
demand (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear.
SECTION 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Flush small spills with water. Soak up large spills with sand or earth and remove. Repeat sorbent/sweep cycle until the
spill has dried up. Large spills of the material may best be cleaned up by absorbing the liquid on solid materials such as
vermiculate, clay, kitty litter, or by adding aqueous electrolyte to coagulate the polymer for disposal in an approved landfill.
Collect and dispose according to local regulations. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches that lead to waterways.
This product does not meet the definition of hazardous waste under the U.S. EPA Hazardous Waste Regulations 40 CFR
261. Consult your state or local authorities for proper disposal in the event more restrictive requirements apply.
SECTION 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Use in a well ventilated area. Keep out of reach of children. If user operations generate dust, fume, or
mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. Uses
goggles and gloves. Similar to most latex paints.
STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use. Dries Rapidly.
SECTION 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to control any air contaminants to
within their TLVs during the use or this product. Contains low levels of
Ammonia for PH control Less than 10 ph.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection when the product is mixed
or applied in a poorly ventilated area or if workplace levels of ingredients if they
exceed the TLV. Follow applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Where contact is likely, wear chemical resistant gloves, chemical safety
goggles with a face shield, and clean protective clothing to cover arms and legs
to keep exposure to a minimum.
HYGIENC PRACTICES: Do not take internally. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash before reuse. Avoid breathing vapors from heated material.
