SECTION IV – FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

FLASH POINT:          20ºF                                         METHOD USED:                    T.C.C.

FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME: 

Lower:  1.0%               Upper:

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:  Carbon Dioxide, Dry chemical, Foam

 

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:

Avoid confined spaces.  Firefighters should be equipped with full protective equipment including a positive pressure NIOSH-approved self contained breathing apparatus.  Water may be unsuitable as an extinguishing medium.

 

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

Vapors are heavier than air and may accumulate in low areas of poor ventilation or travel along the ground to remote ignition sites.  Contents are under pressure.  Keep cool.  Exposure to heat or sunlight may cause cans to burst and propel contents.  Water from fog nozzles may be helpful in cooling unruptured containers to prevent pressure build-up.

 

SECTION V – REACTIVITY DATA

STABILITY:                                                                CONDITIONS TO AVOID:

Stable                                                                           Do not store above 120ºF, incinerate, or puncture.

 

INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):

Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and bases, selected amines.

 

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS:

May emit fumes when heated to decomposition.  May emit carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, unidentified organic compounds.

 

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:

Will not occur.

 

SECTION VI – HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 

INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE

May cause nose and throat irritation.  May cause system depression, characterized by the following progressive steps:  headache, dizziness, nausea, staggering gait, lassitude, loss of coordination, confusion, unconsciousness.

 

SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE

May cause irritation or burning of the eyes.  Repeated or prolonged liquid contact may cause skin irritation with discomfort and dermatitis, eye watering, headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc. are signs that solvent levels are too high.

 

SKIN ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE

See inhalation.  Organic solvents are easily absorbed.  Dry skin, redness, or dermatitis due to the defatting action of solvents are signs of exposure.

 

INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE

See inhalation.  May also result in gastro-intestinal distress.  There is a danger of petroleum distillates entering the lung if swallowed or vomited and causing inflammation, damage or even death.

 

HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC)

Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvent with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Laboratory studies with rats have shown that petroleum distillates cause kidney damage and kidney or liver tumors.  These effects were not seen in similar studies with guinea pigs, dogs or monkeys.  Several studies evaluating petroleum workers have not shown a significant increase of kidney damage or an increase in kidney or liver tumors.

 

CARCINOGENICITY:  NTP:  NO                 IARC MONOGRAPHS:  NO             OSHA REGULATED:  NO

WARNING:  This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

 

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:

Pre-existing eye, skin, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product.

 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

Inhalation:  Remove to fresh air.  If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth.  Call doctor.

Eye:  In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.  Call a physician.

Skin:  In case of skin contact, wash skin with soap and water.  If irritation occurs, contact a physician.

Ingestion:  For ingestion, call physician immediately.  Have names of hazardous ingredients ready.  Do not induce vomiting.  Keep head lower than waist.  Aspiration of vomitus may result in chemical pneumonitis and/or pulmonary edema.

 

SECTION VII – PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

 

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED

Ventilate area.  Remove sources of ignition, including hot metal surfaces.  Wear appropriate clothing and gear.  Prevent skin contact and avoid breathing of vapor.  Confine immediately and remove with inert absorbent such as clay or sand.

 

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD

Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.  Place in non-leaking containers.  Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with all Federal, State, and Local requirements.  Do not incinerate in closed containers.

 

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING

Observe label precautions.  Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame (i.e., all ignition sources).  Cap container after each use.   Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating or smoking.  Do not store above 120ºF.  Store in dry, well ventilated place.  Do not expose to direct sunlight to avoid bursting.  Do not spray near fire or flame.

 

OTHER PRECAUTIONS

Keep away from children.

Avoid unnecessary contact.

Do not take internally.  Do not puncture containers.

Use with adequate ventilation.  Do not inhale vapors.

Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling vapors of this product may be harmful or fatal. 

Do not sand, flame cut, braze or weld dry coating without a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator or sufficient ventilation.

 

SECTION VIII – CONTROL MEASURES

 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Do not breath vapors or mists.  If the TLV, FEL, or other limits are exceeded, then wear a properly fitted vapor and particulate or positive pressure air supplied respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for use with paints during application and until all vapors and spray mists are exhausted.  Follow the respirator manufacturer’s directions for proper use.

 

VENTILATION

Provide sufficient ventilation in volume and pattern to keep containments below applicable OSHA requirements or other suggested exposure limits.  Use only explosion proof equipment with flammable materials.

 

PROTECTIVE GLOVES

Use neoprene gloves or better.  Protective creams are not recommended for protection, but may be used for base of cleanup.

 

EYE PROTECTION

Goggles are best to prevent eye irritation.  When using safety glasses add splash guard, side shields, or face shield.

 

OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT

Apron, coveralls, or work clothes.  Change clothes and shoes in case of spill, splash, or excessive over spray.  Do not reuse clothing or shoes while solvent odor is retained in them.  Eye washes and safety showers could also be provided.

 

WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES

As with all chemical products, use care in handling.  Do not smoke or eat without first washing your hands.
