                                                                      Page:   2

 

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical, water fog.

 

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and

full protective clothing.  Keep onlookers away.  Dike runoff to prevent entry  

into sewers, storm drains, and watercourses.  Use caution after fire is        

extinguished, vapors or liquid may reignite.  Notify appropriate state and local

agencies.                                                                      

 

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Pressure may build up in tightly closed

containers exposed to fire which may result in rupture.  Keep containers cooled

with water spray.  Vapors may travel a considerable distance to a source of    

ignition or collect in low areas.                                              

 

======================== SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA  ==========================

 

STABILITY: Stable

CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Sources of ignition, poor ventilation, corrosive

atmospheres or liquids which may damage containers.                            

 

INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Strong acids and bases, oxidizers.

 

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and

other toxic gases.                                                             

 

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.

 

====================  SECTION VI  -  HEALTH HAZARD DATA  =======================

 

INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Effects vary among individuals

and may include headache, dizziness, nausea, irritation of the nose, throat, and

respiratory tract, and incoordination. Severe overexposure may produce         

anesthesia or unconsciousness.                                                 

 

SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Eye contact may

cause irritation, redness, and tearing, and blurred vision.  Skin contact may  

cause irritation and redness.  Long term skin exposure may dry and defat the   

skin, causing cracking, and in severe cases, dermatitis.                       

 

INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Ingestion can cause

gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea.                   

 

HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC): Breathing high concentrations of aerosols or

mists of this material may cause nausea and irritation of the nose, throat, and

respiratory tract.  Acute overexposure to solvent fumes during air drying of   

this product may cause headache, dizziness, nausea, and loss of coordination.  

Chronic overexposure to solvent fumes may cause central nervous system damage. 

 

 

CARCINOGENICITY:  NTP: Yes  IARC MONOGRAPHS: Yes  OSHA REGULATED: No

 

 

 

 

CHRONIC EFFECTS OF CRYSTALLINE SILICA AS QUARTZ

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated crystalline

silica, inhaled as quartz, and classified it as a confirmed human carcinogen.  

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) classifies quartz as "reasonably         

anticipated to be a human carcinogen".                                         

 

 

CHRONIC EFFECTS OF COBALT OVEREXPOSURE

The International Agency for Reasearch on Cancer (IARC) lists cobalt and cobalt

compounds as possible human carcinogens (Group 2B), based on sufficient evidence

for carcinogenicity in experimental animals. However, there is inadequate      

evidence of the carcinogenicity of cobalt and cobalt compounds in humans.

                                                                      Page:   3

 

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Overexposure to solvent

fumes may aggravate anesthesia, respiratory tract disease or pre-existing lung 

disorders, nausea, and vomiting.                                               

 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: INHALATION OVEREXPOSURE: Remove person to

fresh air, If breathing stops, apply artificial respiration and seek immediate 

medical attention.  NOTE: Use supplied-air respirator for rescue in enclosed   

areas.  EYE CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of tepid water for at least 15   

minutes, get medical attention.  INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting, if aspirated

material can cause chemical pneumonitis or pulmonary edema.  Drink 2 glasses of

milk or water to dilute and contact physician or poison center.  SKIN: Wash with

soap and water, avoid repeated contact.                                         

 

===========  SECTION VII  -  PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE  ============

 

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Remove all sources of

ignition.  Dike to prevent entry into sewers or surface waters.  Recover free   

liquid by shovelling into container using non-sparking tools, or add absorbant 

such as sand or earth to spill and sweep up.  Provide ventilation, wear a      

respirator.  Notify proper authorities if spill contaminates land or waterways.

 

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Store soaked rags or absorbant material in airtight

containers to prevent spontaneous combustion of material.  Dispose of in       

chemical landfill or incinerate assuring conformity to all applicable local,   

state, and federal governing regulations.                                      

 

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Do not expose to flame, sparks,

or other sources of ignition.  Use non-sparking alloy tools and explosion-proof

equipment for handling. The need for grounding and bonding of containers in    

accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 and NFPA 77 should be assessed before     

transferring product.  Store inside away from extreme temperature variations.  

Protect containers from physical damage.  Keep containers tightly closed when  

not in use.  Do not inhale vapors or mists, use with adequate ventilation and  

wear a respirator.  Do not store with food or animal feed.                     

 

OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Do not cut, weld, grind, drill, solder, or braze on or near

containers whether full or empty.  Do not reuse containers without professional

reconditioning and testing.  Do not remove warning labels from containers.     

 

=====================  SECTION VIII  -  CONTROL MEASURES  ======================

 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Using this product in poorly ventilated areas may

require the use of a respirator.  Use Mine Safety Appliance respirator #448849 

with organic vapor cartridge and mist filter (or equivalent) if air monitoring 

demonstrates that the concentration of listed hazardous materials exceeds the  

recommended TLV's.  In enclosed areas where ventilation is not used, wear a Mine

Safety Appliance #475217 pressure/demand air-supplied respirator or equivalent.

 

VENTILATION: Use good general mechanical ventillation and local exhaust adequate

to reduce the concentration of vapors or mists of the listed hazardous materials

to below the Threshold Limit Value(s) and the Lower Explosion Limit.           

 

PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Use of gloves is recommended, use chemically resistant type.

 

EYE PROTECTION: Use is recommended, use splash goggles or full face shields as

necessary.                                                                     

 

OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Use impervious apron or coveralls to prevent

contaminating streetclothes which may result in prolonged exposure.  The use of

head caps or helmets is recommended.                                           

 

WORK AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Eye washes and safety showers in the workplace are

recommended.  Practice good industrial hygiene when using this product:  After 

using this product, do not smoke or eat until washing thoroughly.  Remove      

saturated clothing or shoes at once and launder before reuse.
