SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION & FIRST AID

 

Threshold Limit Value: See Section 2 for hazardous ingredient information

Symptoms of Overexposure

Symptoms and Effects of Short Term Exposure: Acute. Primary route of entry:

                                    Swallowing: May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

                                    Inhalation: Inhalation-spray mists may cause mild respiratory irritation.

                                    Eye Contact: Liquid splashed into the eye may cause transient eye irritation.

                                    Skin Absorption: None known.

Symptoms and Effects of Repeated Overexposure: Chronic - None known.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None known.

Emergency & First Aid Procedures:

Inhalation: Remove from exposure. Provide plenty of fresh air.

Splash (eyes): Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Take to a physician for medical treatment.

Splash (skin): Remove with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Supply copious amounts of fresh water to the skin areas to rinse material away.

Ingestion (Swallowing): Consult with physician, hospital emergency room, or poison control center immediately. Only if conscious, give 2 glasses of water to drink.

Notes to Physician: Any treatment that might be required for overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical conditions.

 

SECTION 6 - REACTIVITY DATA

 

Stability: Stable, however avoid temperatures above 177¡C/350¡F, the onset of polymer decomposition.

Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Avoid materials that are water reactive, highly alkaline or highly acidic.

Hazardous Decomposition by-products: CO, CO2 on combustion

Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.

Conditions to Avoid: Excess heat may cause containers to rupture. Avoid temperatures below 45¡F or freezing conditions.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

SECTION 7 - SPILL, DISPOSAL PROCEDURES; ENVIRONMENTAL DATA

 

Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Confine in small area; contain and remove with inert absorbent (sand, earth, etc.). Place in proper container for proper disposal. CAUTION - Keep out of waterways, drains, sewers by diking. Keep spectators away. Floor may be slippery. Use care to avoid falling.

Waste Disposal Method: Place contaminated material in suitable sealed metal containers for disposal. Do not incinerate closed containers. Use non leaking containers, seal tightly and label properly. Do not pour contaminated paint back into unused paint. Do not throw liquid paint into the trash. Where allowed by local laws (check with local regulatory agencies) allow liquid waste materials to dry out before disposing into trash containers. Take all liquid unused paint that cannot be used to approved recycling centers, paint roundups, or county facilities that are approved to take unused paint at collection sites. Contact state, county, city health services or fire departments to find nearest collection centers. Do not dispose of waste into water streams or storm water sewers. Do not mix with other kinds of waste. Dispose all waste in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.

RCRA Classification: As produced, this product is not a waste. If discarded as is, it is not classified a ÒHazardousÓ waste under RCRA. This product is not ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic; therefore is not defined as hazardous by the EPA.

Environmental Hazards: None known.

 

SECTION 8 - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

 

Respiratory Protection: If applied by spraying, use an appropriate, properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator to remove spray mist. Good room (mechanical) ventilation should be sufficient protection against vapors from product. If further protection is desired or if persons are sensitive to vapors, use a respirator with a NIOSH/MSHA approval number TC-23C-860 or TC-23C-87 or an equivalent. Refer to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, ÒRespiratory ProtectionÓ.

Ventilation: General (mechanical) room ventilation is expected to be satisfactory.

Protective Gloves: None required under most conditions. If protection is desired, plastic, nitrile or latex rubber will provide adequate protection.

Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles with side shields if splashing may occur. Use goggles when spraying, ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent.

Other Protection: Eye wash or copious amounts of water as a precautionary measure is suggested. Other equipment not likely to be needed.

 

SECTION 9 - STORAGE & SPECIAL HANDLING

 

Storage Temperature: Min. 45degF - Max. 120degF/Indoor and outdoor = OK

This product should be stored at room temperature to prolong shelf life. Keep containers in a cool, dry place. Avoid subjecting this product to extreme temperature variations and freezing. Adverse conditions can cause emulsion coagulation.
