5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable limits in air (% by volume): Upper: Not applicable. Lower: Not applicable.
Flash point: Not applicable.
Autoignition temperature: Not applicable.

, dry chemical, water fog.
Special fire fighting procedures: Use self-contained breathing apparatus in confined spaces. Observe recommended procedures
for handling ordinary combustible materials.
Unusual fire and explosion hazards: Liquid material is non-combustible, but dried films are capable of supporting combustion when in
contact with open flames. Closed containers can develop internal pressure and may rupture when subjected to extreme heat.
Hazardous decomposition products: Combustion can produce carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide.
6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Dike and absorb spilled liquid with inert material such as clay granules, sand, earth, or sawdust. Use rags to clean up small amounts of
liquid spilled.
7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling and storage: Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not handle or store near heat, flame, or strong oxidizers, acids
and alkalis. Store in cool, well-ventilated area rotate stock, use older material first.
Other precautions: Inspect all containers for leaks periodically.
8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls: Use signs or barriers to restrict access to painting work area.
Ventilation: Normal air circulation should be sufficient. Otherwise, use portable fans.
Respiratory protection: For spray application, use particulate filter mask to avoid breathing spray mist. Exposed persons with unusual
allergic sensitivity may need organic vapor respirator (NIOSH/MSHA TC 23C or equivalent).
Eye protection: Use safety glasses, goggles, or face shield to protect eyes.
Skin protection: Use waterproof gloves (latex, vinyl, rubber, or neoprene) to avoid skin contact.
Other protective clothing or equipment: Waterproof head covering and general protective clothing are recommended for
protection as necessary.
Work hygienic practices: Wash hands and face before eating or drinking.
