Acute Health Hazards

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE See Section 2. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Acute Eye Contact: Skin Contact May cause irritation, discomfort, redness and swelling of the eye. Liquid is slightly irritating to the skin. Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis. Inhalation Vapors may cause irritation to nose, throat and respiratory tract. Breathing of high vapor concentrations may result in headaches, dizziness and other signs of nervous system depression. These effects have been observed after misuse or abuse of this product. When used in a reasonable and foreseeable manner, no adverse effects are anticipated from exposure to this product. Ingestion Ingestion may result in vomiting, aspiration (breathing) of vomitus into the lungs must be avoided as even small quantities may result in aspiration pneumonitis. Chronic Repeated skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis (skin condition). Carcinogenicity

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Conditions aggravated by exposure may include skin disorders and respiratory (asthma-like) disorders. SECTION 7 -- REACTIVITY DATA Stability Conditions to Avoid Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid) Stable Heat, sparks and flame. Strong oxidizing agents like liquid chlorine or concentrated oxygen. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition may yield carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. SECTION 8 -- SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES Steps to be taken in case material is spilled or released: Remove ignition sources, evacuate area, avoid breathing vapor or contact with liquid. Recover free liquid or stop leak if possible. Dike large spills and use absorbent material for small spills. Keep spilled material out of sewers, ditches and bodies of water. Waste disposal method: Incinerate under safe conditions; dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. SECTION 9 -- SAFE HANDLING AND USE INFORMATION Respiratory Protection: Appropriate vapor canister, self-contained breathing apparatus or supplied-air hose mask, if needed. Ventilation: Sufficient, in volume and pattern, to keep workroom concentration below current applicable OSHA safety and health requirements. See Section 2. Use explosion-proof equipment. No smoking. Protective Gloves: Rubber or neoprene. Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles. Other Protective Equipment: Impervious clothing or boots, if needed. Trade Name: SPECS PAINT THINNER SECTION 10 -- SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Dept. of Labor Storage Category: Combustible Liquid - Class II H ygienic Practices: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep containers closed when not in use. Avoid eye contact. Avoid prolonged or repeat ed contact with skin. Wash s kin with soap and water after contact. A dditional Precautions: Ground containers when transferring liquid to prevent static accumulation and discharge. Additional information regarding safe handling of products with static accumulation potential can be ordered by contacting the American Petroleu m Institute (API) for API Recommende d Practice 2003, entitled "Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of St atic, Lighting, and Stray Currents" (American Petroleum Institute, 1720 L Street Northwest, Washington,DC 20005), or t he National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for NFPA 77 entitled "Static Electricity" (National Fire Protection Associat ion, 1 Batterymarch Park, P.O. Box 910 1, Quincy, MA 02269-9101). Empty Container Warning: "Empty" containers r etain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or ex pose such containers to heat, flame, sparks or other sources of ignition; they may explode and cause injury or death. Do not attempt to clean since residue is difficult to remove. "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and prom pt ly returned to supplier or disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with gov ernmental regulations.
