Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Emergency Overview: COMBUSTIBLE liquid and vapor. Reacts violently with common materials including
water, alcohols, bases and amines. Harmful if inhaled. Eye, skin and respiratory tract irritant. Possible
sensitizer.

Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation.

Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Irritant. May produce symptoms similar to those from inhalation.
Can cause dryness, loss of natural oils, allergic reaction.

Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. May cause hoarseness, upper respiratory tract
irritation, intoxication, headache, confusion, coma, liver damage, kidney damage.

Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Harmful if ingested. May produce symptoms similar to those from
inhalation. Can cause nausea, abdominal cramps.
Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Prolonged contact may cause liver damage, kidney damage,
chronic damage to intestines, central nervous system damage, dizziness, weakness, headache, nausea.
Repeated, prolonged contact may cause intestinal disturbances. Reports have associated repeated and
prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.

Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Ingestion, Eye Contact

Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation by Exposure: If sensitized to isocyanates or other chemicals, do

not use. See a physician if a medical condition exists. If you have a condition that could be aggravated by
exposure to dust or organic vapors, see a physician prior to use.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

First Aid - Eye Contact: If material gets into eyes, flush with water immediately for 15 minutes. Consult a
physician.

First Aid - Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 15
minutes. Seek medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Clean contaminated clothing and
shoes before re-use.

First Aid - Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Administer oxygen if necessary. Consult a physician if
symptoms persist or exposure was severe.

First Aid - Ingestion: If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point, F: 127F (53C) Lower Explosive Limit, %: 0.9
(Setaflash) Upper Explosive Limit, %: 10.4

Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam

Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: Combustible Liquid. Vapors are heavier than air and will accumulate.
Vapors will form explosive concentrations with air. Vapors travel long distances and will flashback. Use
mechanical ventilation when necessary to keep percent vapor below the "Lower Explosion Level" (LEL).
Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep away from sparks, open flames and heat sources. All electric equipment
and installations should be made and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code. In areas
where explosion hazards exist, workers should be required to use non-ferrous tools and to wear conductive
and non-sparking shoes.

Special Firefighting Procedures: Combustible. Cool fire-exposed containers using water spray. Firefighters
should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apperatus and full protective clothing. Cool
tightly closed containers exposed to fire with water.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled: Eliminate all ignition sources. Handling equipment
must be grounded to prevent sparking. Evacuate the area of unprotected personnel. Wear appropriate
personal protection clothing and equipment. Follow exposure controls/personal protection guidelines in Section
8. Contain and soak up residual with an aborbent (clay or sand). Take up absorbant material and seal tightly for
proper disposal. Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Refer to Section 15 for
SARA Title III and CERCLA information.
Section 7 - Handling And Storage

Handling: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Wear
personal protection equipment. Do not breathe vapors. Wash thoroughly after handling. If pouring or
transferring materials, ground all containers and tools. Do not weld, heat, cut or drill on full or empty containers.
Use only in accordance with Carboline application instructions, container label and Product Data Sheet.

Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and oxidizing agents. Keep containers closed. Store in a
cool, dry place with adequate ventilation.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation when required to keep below health exposure
guidelines and Lower Explosion Limit (LEL).

Respiratory Protection: Use only with ventilation to keep levels below exposure guidelines listed in Section 2.
User should test and monitor exposure levels to ensure all personnel are below guidelines. If not in a confined
space, and not able to monitor, use MSHA/NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator. Follow all current OSHA
requirements for respirator use.

Skin Protection: Recommend impervious gloves and clothing to avoid skin contact. If material penetrates to
skin, change gloves and clothing. The use of protective creams may be beneficial to certain individuals.
Protective creams should be applied before exposure.

Eye Protection: Recommend safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles to avoid eye contact.

Other protective equipment: Eye wash and safety showers should be readily available.

Hygienic Practices: Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or using
toilet facilities. Use of a hand cleaner is recommended. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Leather
shoes can absorb and allow hazardous materials to pass through. Check shoes carefully after soaking before
reuse.

Section 10 - Stability And Reactivity

Conditions To Avoid: Heat, sparks and open flames.

Incompatibility: Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, heat and open flames.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and unidentified organic
compounds. Consider all smoke and fumes from burning material as very hazardous. Welding, cutting or
abrasive grinding can create smoke and fumes. Do not breathe any fumes or smoke from these operations.

Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur under normal conditions.

Stability: This product is stable under normal storage conditions.
