Effects of overexposure :
Inhalation : Irritation of respiratory tract, lungs. Prolonged inhalation may lead to dizziness and/or
lightheadedness, headache, nausea, coughing, sneezing, allergic response, asthmatic reaction.
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, mucous membrane irritation, gastro-
intestinal disturbances.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure : Eye, skin, respiratory 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.
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.
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. 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, acrylic
monomers.
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 : Control environmental concentrations below applicable exposure standards
when using this material. When respiratory protection is determined to be necessary, use a
NIOSH/MSHA (Canadian z94.4) Approved elastomeric sealing- surface facepiece respirator
outfitted with organic vapor cartridges and paint spray (dust/mist) prefilters. Determine the proper
level of protection by conducting appropriate air monitoring. Consult 29CFR1910.134 For selection
of respirators (Canadian z94.4).
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.
STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (ANSI Section 10)
Under normal conditions : Stable see section 5 fire fighting measures
Materials to avoid : Oxidizers, acids, hydrogen fluoride.
Conditions to avoid : Elevated temperatures, contact with oxidizing agent, freezing, sparks, open
flame.
Hazardous polymerization : Will not occur
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (ANSI Section 11)
Supplemental health information : No additional effects are anticipated
Carcinogenicity : 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
waters.
