2. Hazards Identification:
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Product Description: This product is a liquid with a strong hydrocarbon odor. This
product is considered to be a combustible liquid per the OSHA hazard communication standard and should be
kept away from heat, flame and sources of ignition. If swallowed, this product may get sucked into the
lungs (aspirated) and cause lung damage or even death. Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause drying of
the skin, which may produce sever irritation or dermatitis.
Combustible Liquid:
Flash point: 103掳F (Seta Flash).
Flammable Limits: LEL: 1.1%, UEL: 5.9%
It has a solvent petroleum odor. When burned the product produces carbon monoxide and other asphyxiates during combustion.
Harmful if inhaled and may cause delayed lung injury. Aspiration hazard if swallowed 鈥? can enter lungs and cause damage. Keep
away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid breathing vapor. Use ventilation to keep vapor below exposure limits. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin and clothing. Material splashed into the eyes will irritate tissues. Gently flush material from eyes with clean water.
3. Composition/Information on Ingredients:
Pigmented organic solvent-borne coating comprised of pigments, fillers, additives, and organic solvent-borne
resinous binder.
Non-hazardous iron oxide (red, black, brown or yellow) and phthalocyanine blue and green pigments are in some colors.
Hazardous ingredients:
Titanium dioxide (CAS #13463-67-7) <25.0% ACGIH TWA 10 mg/m3 (In some colors)
Mineral Spirits (CAS #64742-47-8) <50%, OSHA PEL 500 ppm
Lamplack (Carbon black) CAS #1333-86-4 <1.0% ACGIH TWA 3.5 mg./ m3 (In some colors)
4. First Aid Measures:
INHALATION: Move person to fresh air. Restore breathing. Treat symptomatically. Consult a physician. SPLASH (EYES): Flush
eyes immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Take to a physician if irritation persists. INGESTION: If
swallowed, call a physician if irritation persists. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire-fighting methods:
Extinguish Media: Foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use supplied-air breathing equipment for enclosed areas. Cool exposed containers with water spray.
Minimize breathing vapor or fumes.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Do not mix or store with strong oxidants such as liquid chlorine or concentrated oxygen.
鈥淓mpty鈥? product containers retain product residue. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld, or expose such containers to flame; they may
explode and cause injury or death.

6. Accidental release measures:
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Remove all sources of ignition (flame, hot surfaces, and
electrical, static, or frictional sparks). Avoid breathing vapors. Use self-contained breathing equipment. Ventilate area. Contain and
remove with inert, absorbent material and non-sparking tools. Avoid contact. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Disposal should be done
in accordance with Federal (40CFR Par 261), State and Local regulations. Before attempting clean-up, refer to hazard caution
information in other sections of the MSDS. Use licensed hazardous waste disposal concern.
7. Handling and Storage:
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Do not store or use near heat or open flame. Refer to
OSHA 79CFR Part 1910.106 for specific storage requirements. Keep closure tight and container upright to prevent
leakage. Drums of this material should be grounded and bonded when pouring. Do not weld or flame-cut an empty
drum. OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Do not get in eyes. Avoid skin contact. Can cause allergic respiratory reaction. Can
cause allergic skin reaction. Prevent prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor or spray mists. Do not handle until the
manufacturer鈥檚 safety precautions have been read and understood. Avoid breathing sanding dusts.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use (MSHA/NIOSH-approved or equivalent) chemical/mechanical filters designed to remove a
combination of particulates and organic vapor in open and restricted ventilation areas. Use approved airline-type respirators or hoods
in confined areas.
VENTILATION: Sufficient ventilation, in pattern and volume, should be provided to keep the air contaminant concentration below
applicable exposure limits. Heavy solvent vapors should be removed from the lower levels of work area, and all ignition sources (non-
explosion proof equipment) should be eliminated if flammable/air mixtures will be encountered. All application areas should be
ventilated in accordance with OSHA regulation 29CFR Part 1910.94.
PROTECTION GLOVES: Gloves should be worn if skin contact is likely. Use neoprene or rubber gloves to prevent skin contact.
EYE PROTECTION: Use safety eyewear including side shields, face shields, or chemical splash goggles (ANSIZ-87.1, or approved
equivalent).
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Use disposable or impervious clothing if work clothing contamination is likely. Use protective
cream if skin contact is likely. Use full face shield, apron or other appropriate equipment.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash hands before eating, smoking, or using the wash room. Do not smoke in any chemical handling or
storage area. Food or beverages should not be consumed anywhere this product is handled or stored.

Mineral Spirits; lhl 鈥? rat LC50:3400 ppm/4H
12. Ecological Information:
This material is not classified as dangerous to the environment. If applied to leaves, this product may kill grasses and small plants by
interfering with transpiration and respiration. This product is not toxic to fish but may coat gill structures resulting in suffocation if
