Section 5 - Health Hazard Data
Primary route(s) of entry: Inhalation, eyes
Health hazard/effects of over exposure:
Inhalation: May cause CNS depression seen as headache, dizziness, nausea and anesthetic effects.
Eyes: Irritation.
Skin: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause drying of skin.
Ingestion: Can cause severe gastrointestinal distress. Aspiration into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonia
which can be fatal.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: Pre-existing eye and skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure to
acetone.
Chemicals listed as potential carcinogen: NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No
Emergency and first aid procedures:
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Contact physician. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water and contact physician.
Skin: Wash with soap and water; apply medicated skin cream.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Contact physician immediately. Minute amounts aspirated into lungs during
ingestion may cause pulmonary injury.
Section 6 - Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable Conditions to avoid: Avoid sparks or open flames. See handling and storage precautions.
Incompatibility (Materials to avoid): Strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition products: Thermal decomposition may yield carbon monoxide and zinc oxide.
Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur.
Section 7 - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Ventilate area by opening doors and windows. Remove
ignition sources. Remove leaking container and transfer remaining product to another vessel. Prevent product from going
into sewers and water sources by diking or impounding. Using appropriate safety equipment, mop up or soak up with
absorbent material, such as sand or clay.
Waste disposal methods: Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
RCRA Hazardous Waste No.: This material has the RCRA characteristic of ignitability and if discarded in its purchased
form, would have the hazardous waste number D001.
CERCLA Reportable Quantity: 1,000 Lbs.
SARA TITLE III Chemicals: Yes: CAS# 7440-66-6, CAS# 1330-20-7
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage: Store as Level 2 Aerosol (NFPA 30B). Store away from ignition
sources and avoid breathing vapors and mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
Section 8 - Control Measures
Respiratory Protection: None required if good ventilation is maintained. For enclosed areas, use NIOSH approved
organic vapor cartridge respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus.
Ventilation: Local exhaust is usually adequate. However, mechanical ventilation should be used when spraying in
enclosed areas. Vapor concentration should be minimized as much as possible.
Protective gloves: Use solvent resistant gloves for brushing and spraying.
Eye protection: Use face shield, goggles or safety glasses.
Other protective equipment: None.
Work/hygienic practices: Wash hands with soap and water after use and/or before breaks, lunch and at the end of work
periods. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
