Section 3: Hazard Identification
Emergency overview
Appearance: Viscous black fluid.
Immediate effects: Irritant
Potential health effects
Primary Routes of entry: Inhalation, ingestion.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: Repeated exposure to high vapor
concentrations may cause irritation of the respiratory system and nervous
system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling
the contents can be harmful or fatal.
Eyes: Causes severe eye irritation.
Skin: May cause moderate skin irritation. Components of this product are not expected to be absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: Vapors and mists irritate eyes, nose and throat. Eye watering, headaches, nausea, dizziness and loss of coordination are indications that vapor and/or mist levels are too high. Dust generated from sanding and grinding on surfaces coated with this product may be harmful if inhaled. Vapors and mists generated from this product may be harmful if inhaled. Dusts generated from sanding and grinding on surfaces coated with this product may be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic Exposure: This product contains isopropyl alcohol. Long term exposures to isopropyl alcohol vapors have produced liver, kidneys and testicular effects in experimental animals. This product contains graphite which can accumulate in lung tissue after long-term exposure to the dust. The potential for such exposure from the use of this product is very limited.
Chemical Listed As Carcinogen or Potential Carcinogen: No
See Toxicological Information (Section11)
Potential environmental effects
See Ecological Information (Section 12)
Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected
Eye(s) Contact: If this product is splashed into the eyes, flush eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin Contact: If skin contact occurs with this product, flush
immediately with plenty of water, followed by washing with soap and water.
Inhalation: If excessive amounts of vapors or mists from this product are
inhaled, remove to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration and other supportive
measures as required. Consult a poison center, emergency room or lung
specialist for additional information and guidance.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Consult with physician or poison center.
Note to physician
Treatment: ND
Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure: ND
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 11.1° C (52° F), Method: Pensky-Martens
closed cup.
Flammable Limits: Lower limit: 2° C.
Upper limit: 12° C
Auto-ignition point: NE
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO2,
water spray or alcohol-resistant foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: CAUTION: All these products have a very low
flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.
Flammable/combustible material; will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or
flames. Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Container may
explode in heat of fire. Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers.
Those substances designated with a “P” may polymerize explosively when heated
or involved in fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Wear
positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Keep away from sparks, open flames or other
sources of ignition.
Hazardous combustion products: Oxides of carbon.
DOT Class: Flammable
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Spills: Shut off
ignition sources; no flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Stop leak if you
can do it without risk. Water spray may reduce vapor; but it may not prevent
ignition in closed spaces. Isolate area until vapors have dispersed.
Small Spills: Take up with sand or other noncombustible absorbent material and
place into containers for later disposal.
Large spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local
Regulations.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Keep container closed. Loosen
cautiously before opening. Store in a cool and
well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials. (See stability
and Reactivity Section 5). Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Protect
material from direct sunlight. Ground and bond containers
when transferring materials. Empty containers may retain hazardous
properties. Follow all MSDS/label warnings even after container is emptied.
Storage temperature: Ambient
Storage Pressure: Atmospheric.
Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Ventilation required: Provide sufficient mechanical ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s). Overexposures to vapors and mists may be prevented by ensuring ventilation controls, local exhaust and/or fresh air entry.
Personal Protection Equipment
Respiratory protection: NIOSH/MSHA Schedule TC-23C- air-purifying or a
Schedule TC-19C- air supplied respirator may also be used to reduce exposures. Read
the manufacturer's instructions and literature carefully to determine the
type(s) of airborne contaminant(s) against which the respirator is effective
and how it is to be properly fitted.
Protective gloves: Wear gloves.
Skin protection: Wear protective clothing, including an impermeable apron or
disposable suit and gloves. This protective equipment should be constructed of
materials(s) which are appropriate to prevent contact with the chemicals listed
in the ingredient Section 2 of the MSDS.
Eye protection: Vapor tight chemical-type splash goggles should be worn when
the possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying of liquid
or the generation of airborne particles or vapors
Additional clothing and/or equipment: ND
