SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Amber. Liquid. May cause moderate irritation to the respiratory system. May cause nausea, headaches, and
dizziness. May cause drowsiness, weakness, and fatigue. Move to fresh air. If required, artificial respiration or
administration of oxygen can be performed by trained personnel. Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further
overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry
Inhalation May cause moderate irritation to the respiratory system. May cause nausea, headaches,
:
and dizziness. May cause drowsiness, weakness, and fatigue.
Eyes Vapor and/or mist may cause eye irritation. Direct contact may cause temporary redness
:
and discomfort.
Ingestion May cause irritation to the mouth, throat and stomach. May cause gastrointestinal
:
irritation, nausea, and vomiting.
Skin May cause moderate irritation.
:
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin, liver, kidney, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain
and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling contents may be
harmful or fatal. Prolonged or repeated exposure to xylene may cause defatting, drying, and irritation of the
skin, dermatitis, central nervous system (CNS) effects, heart muscle sensitization and arrhythmia, hearing loss,
and brain, liver, kidney damage. Xylene overexposure may affect fetal development. The International Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated ethylbenzene and classified it as a possible human carcinogen
(Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental animals, but inadequate evidence
for cancer in exposed humans. Prolonged and repeated exposure to n-hexane may damage peripheral nerve
tissue (that of the arms and legs) and result in muscular weakness and loss of sensation in the extremities
(peripheral neuropathy). Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause defatting, drying, and irritation of the skin,
dermatitis, central nervous system (CNS) effects, heart muscle sensitization and arrhythmia, hearing loss, and

brain, liver, kidney, and testes damage. Toluene overexposure may cause burns of the skin, respiratory tract
damage. May be harmful to the human fetus based on animal tests and limited epidemiology data.
Overexposure to VM & P naphtha can cause central nervous system depression and anesthesia. Fillers are
encapsulated and not expected to be released from product under normal conditions of use.
Target Organs: Skin, Eye, Lung, Liver, Kidney, Nerve, Reproductive

The ingredients listed above are hazardous as defined in the controlled products regulation. (CPR).
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Get immediate medical attention for any significant overexposure.
Inhalation : Move to fresh air. If required, artificial respiration or administration of oxygen can be
performed by trained personnel.Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further
overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Eye contact : Flush with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eye lids apart. Get medical
attention immediately.
Skin contact : Clean area of contact thoroughly using soap and water. If irritation, rash or other
disorders develop, get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting unless advised by a physician. Call nearest Poison Control
Center or Physician immediately.
SECTION 5: FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Flash point : 1.0 掳 -17 掳C
F,
Method : Setaflash Closed Cup
Lower explosion limit : 1.00 %(V) Solvent
Upper explosion limit : 7.00 %(V) Solvent
Autoignition temperature : Not available.
Extinguishing media : If water fog is ineffective, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam.
Hazardous combustion : Smoke, fumes.Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide can form.Nitrogen
products oxides can form.
Protective equipment for : Use accepted fire fighting techniques. Wear full firefighting protective
firefighters clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).Water
may be used to cool containers to minimize pressure build-up.
Fire and explosion conditions : Vapor concentrations in enclosed areas may ignite explosively.Product
may ignite if heated in excess of its flash point.Vapors may travel to
sources of ignition and flashback.Closed container, may burst when
exposed to extreme heat.Empty containers may contain ignitable
vapors.

SECTION 6 - SPILLS / LEAKS / ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Use appropriate protective equipment. Avoid contact with material. Remove sources of ignition immediately.
Stop flow of material if safe to do so. Contain spill and keep out of water courses. Ventilate area.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Prevent inhalation of vapor, ingestion, and contact with skin eyes and clothing. Keep container closed when
not in use. Precautions also apply to emptied containers. To prevent generation of static discharges, use
bonding/grounding connection when pouring liquid. Extinguish all ignition sources including pilot lights, non-
explosion proof motors and electrical equipment until vapors dissipate. Personal protective equipment must be
worn during maintenance or repair of contaminated mixer, reactor, or other equipment. Keep container closed
when not in use. Vapor may migrate to sources of ignition. Do not smoke, weld, generate sparks, or use flame
near container. Store in sealed containers in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse location.
SECTION 8 - PREVENTIVE MEASURES/EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protection equipment
Respiratory protection : Wear appropriate, properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor or
supplied air respirator when airborne contaminant level(s) are expected to
exceed exposure limits indicated on the MSDS. Follow manufacturer's
directions for respirator use.
Hand protection : Use suitable impervious nitrile or neoprene gloves and protective apparel to
reduce exposure.
Eye protection : Wear appropriate eye protection.Wear chemical safety goggles and/or face
shield to prevent eye contact. Do not wear contact lenses. Do not touch eyes
with contaminated body parts or materials. Have eye washing facilities readily
available.
Protective measures : Use professional judgment in the selection, care, and use.Inspect and replace
equipment at regular intervals.
: Use only in well ventilated areas. Provide maximum ventilation in enclosed
Engineering measures
areas.Use local exhaust when the general ventilation is inadequate.
