HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (ANSI Section 3)
Primary route(s) of exposure : Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion.
Effects of overexposure :
Inhalation : Irritation of respiratory tract, lungs. Prolonged inhalation may lead to dizziness and/or
lightheadedness, headache, nausea, coughing, pneumoconiosis.
Skin contact : Irritation of skin.
Eye contact : Irritation of eyes. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause tearing of eyes, redness of
eyes.
Ingestion : Ingestion may cause mouth and throat irritation, nausea, gastro-intestinal disturbances,
abdominal pain.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure : Eye, skin, respiratory disorders, lung disorders.
FIRST-AID MEASURES (ANSI Section 4)
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Restore and support continued breathing. Get emergency medical
attention. Have trained person give oxygen if necessary. Get medical help for any breathing
difficulty. Remove to fresh air if inhalation causes eye watering, headaches, dizziness, or other
discomfort. Get medical attention if discomfort or irritation persists.
Skin contact : Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If any product remains, gently rub petroleum
jelly, vegetable or mineral/baby oil onto skin. Repeated applications may be needed. Remove
contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. If irritation occurs, consult a
physician.
Eye contact : Flush immediately with large amounts of water, especially under lids for at least 15
minutes. If irritation or other effects persist, obtain medical treatment.
Ingestion : If swallowed, obtain medical treatment immediately.
FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES (ANSI Section 5)
Fire extinguishing media : Dry chemical or foam water fog. Carbon dioxide. Closed containers may
burst if exposed to extreme heat or fire. Easily ignited if allowed to dry. In closed tanks, water or
foam may cause frothing or eruption.
Fire fighting procedures : Water may be used to cool and protect exposed containers. Firefighters
should use full protective clothing, eye protection, and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Hazardous decomposition or combustion products : Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, monomer
vapors. Vinyl acetate monomer acrylic monomers. Acetaldehyde, oxides of calcium.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (ANSI Section 6)
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled : Comply with all applicable health and
environmental regulations. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Spills may be collected
with absorbent materials. Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Place collected material in proper
container. Spilled material is extremely slippery. Complete personal protective equipment must be
used during cleanup. Large spills - shut off leak if safe to do so. Dike and contain spill. Pump to
storage or salvage vessels. Use absorbent to pick up excess residue. Keep salvageable material and
rinse water out of sewers and water courses. Small spills - use absorbent to pick up residue and
dispose of properly.
HANDLING AND STORAGE (ANSI Section 7)
Handling and storage : Store below 100f (38c). Keep from freezing.
Other precautions : Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not take internally. Keep out of reach of
children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and breathing of vapors. Wash hands thoroughly after
handling, especially before eating or smoking. Keep containers tightly closed and upright when not
in use.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION (ANSI Section 8)
Respiratory protection : Where respiratory protection is required, use only NIOSH/ MSHA approved
respirators in accordance with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation : Provide dilution ventilation or local exhaust to prevent build-up of vapors.
Personal protective equipment : Eye wash, safety shower, safety glasses or goggles. Impervious
gloves, impervious clothing. Replace elastomeric protective equipment whenever it becomes
swollen, gummy, torn, or shows evidence of barrier loss. Apply a solvent-resistant skin barrier cream
to areas of skin that may come into contact with material. If working out-of-doors, apply sunscreen
lotion with a high sun block protection factor to skin exposed to sunlight after applying barrier cream.
STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (ANSI Section 10)
Under normal conditions : Stable see section 5 fire fighting measures
Materials to avoid : Oxidizers, acids, ammonium salts. Styrene monomer.
Conditions to avoid : Elevated temperatures, contact with oxidizing agent, freezing, sparks, open
flame, extremes in temperature.
Hazardous polymerization : Will not occur
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (ANSI Section 11)
Supplemental health information : No additional effects are anticipated
Carcinogenicity : Treatment related nasal tumors were observed in rats and mice exposed to vinyl
acetate via inhalation at 600 ppm for 2 years. In a lifetime inhalation study, exposure to 250
mg/m3 titanium dioxide resulted in the development of lung tumors in rats. These tumors
occurred only at dust levels that overwhelmed the animals' lung clearance mechanisms and were
different from common human lung tumors in both type and location. The relevance of these
findings to humans is unknown but questionable. The international agency for research on
cancer (IARC) has classified titanium dioxide as possibly carcinogenic to humans (group 2b)
based on inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and sufficient evidence of
carcinogenicity in experimental animals.
Reproductive effects : No reproductive effects are anticipated
Mutagenicity : No mutagenic effects are anticipated
Teratogenicity : No teratogenic effects are anticipated
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION (ANSI Section 12)
No ecological testing has been done by akzo nobel paints llc on this product as a whole.
DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS (ANSI Section 13)
Waste disposal : Dispose in accordance with all applicable regulations. Avoid discharge to natural
