Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes may
cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other
hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment, such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper
containment and cleanup. For more information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact your local
health authority.
VENTILATION
Local exhaust preferable. General exhaust acceptable if the exposure to materials in Section 2 is maintained below applicable exposure limits.
Refer to OSHA Standards 1910.94, 1910.107, 1910.108.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If personal exposure cannot be controlled below applicable limits by ventilation, wear a properly fitted organic vapor/particulate respirator
approved by NIOSH/MSHA for protection against materials in Section 2.
When sanding or abrading the dried film, wear a dust/mist respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for dust which may be generated from this
product, underlying paint, or the abrasive.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Wear gloves which are recommended by glove supplier for protection against materials in Section 2.
EYE PROTECTION
Wear safety spectacles with unperforated sideshields.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal.

SECTION 11 — TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Ethylbenzene is classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (2B) based on inadequate evidence in humans and sufficient
evidence in laboratory animals. Lifetime inhalation exposure of rats and mice to high ethylbenzene concentrations resulted in increases in
certain types of cancer, including kidney tumors in rats and lung and liver tumors in mice. These effects were not observed in animals
exposed to lower concentrations. There is no evidence that ethylbenzene causes cancer in humans.
