Overview: POISON DANGER HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL IF INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. VAPOR HARMFUL. FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. MAY AFFECT LIVER, KIDNEYS, BLOOD SYSTEM, OR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. Relevant routes of exposure: Skin, Inhalation, Eyes Potential Health Effects Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. High concentrations of vapours may cause headache,fatigue, drowsiness and dizziness. Skin contact: May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause skin irritation. Product has a defatting effect on skin. Prolonged contact may cause dryness of skin. Eye contact: Contact with eyes will cause irritation. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If symptoms develop and persist, get medical attention. Skin contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Eye contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush with copious amounts of water, preferably, lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open all the time. Get medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give large quantities of water Rinse mouth thoroughly. Loosen any tight clothing. Keep individual calm. Obtain medical attention. If there are signs of intoxication (drunkenness) then serious health effects may follow (depending on the amount swallowed or inhaled). Treat unconsciousness by placing the person in the coma position. Apply artificial respiration if breathing stops. Immediate medical attention should be sought and the affected person transferred and accompanied to the care of a doctor or hospital. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flash point: -20C (Closed Cup) Autoignition temperature: 422C (ASTM D-2155) info chemtools.com.au www.chemtools.com.au Ultra Clear Protective Lacquer Flammable/Explosive limits-lower %: 1.1% Flammable/Explosive limits-upper %: 7.1% Extinguishing media: Alcohol resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Special fire fighting procedures: Use water to cool exposed containers. Heating can cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent ruptures of containers. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Spills and leaks may be washed away with copious volumes of water, fog, or spray. For major fires or where the atmosphere is oxygen deficient or contains unacceptable levels of combustion products, fire-fighters must wear self contained breathing apparatus with full face mask and protective clothing. Unusual fire or explosion hazards: None Hazardous combustion products: Oxides of carbon. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Hazchem Code: 3 Y E 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Environmental precautions: Extinguish all ignition sources. Ventilate well. Use approved respirator if air contamination is above accepted level. Prevent product from entering drains or open waters. Clean-up methods: Soak up with inert absorbent. Store in a partly filled, closed container until disposal. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapour and mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Storage: For safe storage, store at or below 38C (100F). Keep in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep container tightly closed until ready for use. Incompatible products: Refer to Section 10. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering controls: No specific ventilation requirements noted, but forced ventilation may still be required if concentrations exceed occupational exposure limits. Respiratory protection: Use NIOSH approved respirator if there is potential to exceed exposure limit(s). Skin protection: Use impermeable gloves and protective clothing as necessary to prevent skin contact. Neoprene gloves. butyl rubber gloves. Eye/face protection: Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Eye wash facilities should be provided in all areas where the product is handled. See Section 2 for exposure limits. 9.
