EYE or SKIN contact with the product, vapor or spray mist. Flammability EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Reactivity
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation. INHALATION:
Irritation of the upper respiratory system.
May cause nervous system depression. Extreme overexposure may result in unconsciousness and possibly death. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Headache, dizziness, nausea, and loss of coordination are indications of excessive exposure to vapors or spray mists. Redness and itching or burning sensation may indicate eye or excessive skin exposure. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE CANCER INFORMATION
For complete discussion of toxicology data refer to Section 11. page 1 of 4 21600/41600 SECTION 4 — FIRST AID MEASURES
Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use. INHALATION:
If affected, remove from exposure. Restore breathing. Keep warm and quiet. INGESTION:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. SECTION 5 — FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLASH POINT FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION
RED LABEL -- Flammable, Flash below 100 °F (38 °C)
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat. Application to hot surfaces requires special precautions. During emergency conditions overexposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus should be used. Water spray may be ineffective. If water is used, fog nozzles are preferable. Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure
build-up and possible autoignition or explosion when exposed to extreme heat. SECTION 6 — ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate the area. Remove with inert absorbent. SECTION 7 — HANDLING AND STORAGE STORAGE CATEGORY PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE
Contents are FLAMMABLE. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. During use and until all vapors are gone: Keep area ventilated - Do not smoke - Extinguish all flames, pilot lights, and heaters - Turn off
stoves, electric tools and appliances, and any other sources of ignition.
Consult NFPA Code. Use approved Bonding and Grounding procedures. Keep container closed when not in use. Transfer only to approved containers with complete and appropriate labeling. Do not take internally. SECTION 8 — EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN USE
Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapor and spray mist. Wash hands after using. This coating may contain materials classified as nuisance particulates (listed "as Dust" in Section 2) which may be present at hazardous levels
only during sanding or abrading of the dried film. If no specific dusts are listed in Section 2, the applicable limits for nuisance dusts areACGIH TLV 10 mg/m3 (total dust), 3 mg/m3 (respirable fraction), OSHA PEL 15 mg/m3 (total dust), 5 mg/m3 (respirable fraction).
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 otherhazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment, such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and propercontainment and cleanup. For more information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact your localhealth 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. page 2 of 4 21600/41600 EYE PROTECTION
Wear safety spectacles with unperforated sideshields. OTHER PRECAUTIONS
This product must be mixed with other components before use. Before opening the packages, READ AND FOLLOW WARNING LABELS ON

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION SECTION 11 — TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Styrene is listed by IARC as a possible human carcinogen based on "inadequate evidence" in humans, "limited evidence" in animals, and the
fact that it is metabolized to styrene oxide, which has been shown to induce cancer in animals. However, studies of humans exposed forlong periods of time to styrene have not demonstrated any carcinogenic effect.
