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 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: No IARC MONOGRAPHS: No OSHA REGULATED: No
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 ground or
interbond containers when pouring to avoid static discharge. 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: do not
smoke or eat and wash after using. Remove saturated clothing or shoes at once
and launder before reuse.
