PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all
doors and windows to achieve cross-ventilation. Provide general dilution of local exhaust ventilation in volume and pattern to keep
TLV of hazardous ingredients below acceptable limits.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be
followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with organic
vapor cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed
exposure limits.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use impervious gloves to prevent skin contact and absorption of this material through the skin. Nitrile or
Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin protection. Use gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact.
EYE PROTECTION: Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further information regarding personal
protective equipment and its application. Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further guidance regarding types of
personal protective equipment and their applications.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing
immediately and launder before reuse.

10. Stability and Reactivity
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid temperatures above 120 ° F. Avoid all possible sources of ignition. Avoid contact with strong acid
and strong bases.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and strong alkalies.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION: Contains solvents which may form carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and formaldehyde. By open
flame, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. When heated to decomposition, it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur under normal conditions.
STABILITY: May form peroxides of unkown stability. This product is stable under normal storage conditions.
11. Toxicological information
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: Causes Serious Eye Irritation
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: Substance may cause slight skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may
cause skin irritation. May cause skin irritation. Allergic reactions are possible.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations may be harmful if
inhaled. Avoid breathing fumes, spray, vapors, or mist. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs.
Prolonged or excessive inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Aspiration hazard if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause damage. Harmful if
swallowed.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: Overexposure to methyl ethyl ketone in laboratory animals has been
associated with liver abnormalities, kidney and lung damage. Fetotoxic/embryotoxic effects from inhalation have been seen in rats
exposed to >1000ppm during gestation. Contains carbon black. Chronic inflammation, lung fibrosis, and lung tumors have been
observed in some rats experimentally exposed for long periods of time to excessive concentrations of carbon black and several
insoluble fine dust particles. Tumors have not been observed in other animal species (i.e., mouse and hamster) under similar
circumstances and study conditions. Epidemiological studies of North American workers show no evidence of clinically significant
