Section V- Fire and Explosion Hazard Data 鈥揊LASH POINT 鈥?20 deg F. METHOD USED: TCC FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME 鈥?
LOWER:1 UPPER 13 - EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: foam, CO2, Dry chemical 鈥揝PECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES 鈥? Respiratory
equipment should be worn to avoid inhalation of concentrated vapors. Water should not be used except as fog to keep nearby containers
cool. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Handle as flammable liquid. Vapors form an explosive mixture in air between the upper
and lower explosive limits which can be ignited by Manu sources such as pilot lights, open flames, electrical motors and switches.
Section VI- Reactivity Data 鈥? STABILITY-stable CONDITIONS TO AVOID 鈥揈xcessive, heat poor ventilation, corrosive atmospheres,
excessive aging INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID) Alkaline materials, strong acids and oxidizing materials. HAZARDOUS
DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS- Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and possible acrolein. HAZARDOUS
POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur
Section VII 鈥? Health Hazard Data 鈥? INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE-Inhalation, dizziness, breathing
difficulty, headaches, & loss of coordination. SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: skin contact
can dry and deface skin causing cracks, irritation, and dermatitis, eye contact, severe irritation, tearing redness, and blurred vision. SKIN
ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE 鈥? See above INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF
EXPOSURE- can cause gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC) Inhalation
dizziness, breathing difficulty, headaches, & loss of coordination. Eye contact: Severe irritation, tearing, redness, and blurred vision. Skin
Contact: Can dry and defat skin causing cracks, irritation, and dermatitis. Ingestion: Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, nausea, &
diarrhea. CONTAINS A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS. CARCINOGENICITY: NTP
CARCINOGEN: No IARC MONOGRAPHS: No OSHA REGULATED: No MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY
EXPOSURE: Anessnesia, respiratory tract irritation dermatitis, nausea, vomiting. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES- Inhalation
overexposure; move person to fresh air. If breathing stops, apply artificial respiration and seek immediate medical attention. Eye contact:
Flush with large quantities of water for 15 minutes. Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water and see a doctor. Ingestion: Do not
induce vomiting, can cause chemical pheumonities edema. Contact a physician immediately.
Section VIII 鈥揚recautions for Safe Handling and Use- STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED- Eliminate
ignition sources, provide good ventilation, dike spill area and use absorbent material to cleanup. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD-Collect
absorbent/spilled liquid mixture and place into metal containers. Consult Local, State & Federal hazardous waste regulations before disposing
into approved hazardous waste landfills. Obey relevant laws. PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Use non-
sparking utensils when handling this material. Avoid hot metal surfaces, use in cool well-ventilated areas. Keep containers closed when not in
use. Keep away from excessive heat and open flames. OTHER PRECAUTIONS- Smoking in areas where this material is used should be
strictly prohibited. Tools used with this material should be made of aluminum, brass, or copper. Plastic utensils should not be used.
Section IX-Control Measures 鈥? RESPIRATORY PROTECTION -When spraying this adhesive use a NIOSH approved cartridge respirator or
gas mask suitable to keep airborne mists and concentrations below the time-weighed threshold limit values. When using in poorly ventilated
and confined spaces, use a fresh-air supplying respirator on a self-contained breathing apparatus. VENTILATION- General Mechanical
Ventilation or local exhaust should be suitable to keep vapor concentrations below TLV. Ventilation equipment must be explosion proof.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: - Impermeable chemical handling gloves for skin Protection. EYE PROTECTION 鈥? Use chemical safety glasses,
goggles, and face shields for eye protection. OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT- Use permeable aprons and protective
clothing whenever possible to prevent skin contact. The use of head caps whenever possible is strongly recommended. WORK/HYGIENIC
PRACTICES 鈥? Eye washes and a safety shower in the workplace is recommended.
Section X 鈥? Disclaimer 鈥? The above information is accurate to the best of our knowledge. However, since data, safety standards and
Government Regulations are subject to change and the conditions of handling and use, or misuse are beyond our control, W.W. Henry make
