SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Clear. Non-sag gunnable paste. May cause nausea, headaches, and dizziness. May cause drowsiness,
weakness, and fatigue. May cause moderate irritation to the respiratory system. 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 nausea, headaches, and dizziness. May cause drowsiness, weakness, and
:
fatigue. May cause moderate irritation to the respiratory system.
Eyes Direct contact may cause mild 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 mild irritation.
:
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin, liver, kidney, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
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. Fillers are encapsulated and not expected to be released from product under normal
conditions of use.

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 : 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 : Wash area of contact thoroughly with hand cleaner followed by 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.

products
Protective equipment for : Use accepted fire fighting techniques. Wear full firefighting protective
firefighters clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Fire and explosion conditions : Vapors may travel to sources of ignition and flashback.Empty containers
may contain ignitable vapors.Vapor concentrations in enclosed areas
may ignite explosively.
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. Use non-
sparking tools. Scrape up and transfer to appropriate container for disposal.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Prevent inhalation of vapor, ingestion and contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Preferably use entire contents
in one continuous work session. Do not smoke, weld, generate sparks, or use flame near container. Change
soiled work clothes frequently. Clean hands thoroughly after handling Do not store or use near food. Keep
container closed when not in use. Since emptied containers retain product residue and vapor, observe

precautions even after container is emptied. Store under dry warehouse conditions away from heat and all
ignition sources.
SECTION 8 - PREVENTIVE MEASURES/EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protection equipment
Respiratory protection : Follow respirator manufacturer's directions for respirator use.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.Use safety glasses if eye contact is likely.
Skin and body protection : Prevent contact with shoes and clothing.
Protective measures : Use professional judgment in the selection, care, and use.
Engineering measures : Use only in well ventilated areas. Provide maximum ventilation in enclosed
areas.Use local exhaust when the general ventilation is inadequate.
