SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Flash Point: Not Applicable Flammable Limits: LEL Not Applicable
Method used: Not Applicable UEL Not Applicable
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: None Known
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water is recommended for combustible fiber containers of 50 gallons. This is a water-borne coating; it will not burn, unless all the water has evaporated. The dried polymer in the product will burn. In this case, use foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or water.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: None except in confined areas. Wear NOSH/MSHA approved self-contained full face positive pressure breathing apparatus and appropriate protective clothing.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Oxides of carbon. If water is all evaporated, non-volatiles will burn giving off carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride.
 

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

EXPOSURE LIMITS: OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) and Threshold Limit Value (ACGIH) - Not established.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Ingestion: Unknown for the product mixture. May cause nausea, vomiting and intestinal pain.
Skin Contact: Unknown for the product mixture. May cause irritation, dermatitis, given repeated or prolonged skin contact.

SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA

STABILITY: This product is stable under normal conditions of usage.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Oxide of carbon and hydrogen chloride may be formed by the pyrollisis  of solids.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid extreme heat. Avoid freezing, product will coagulate.
INCOMPATIBLE SUBSTANCES: Acid and salt solutions may coagulate the binder. Avoid strong oxidizing substances.

SECTION VII - SPILLS OR LEAKS

RESPONSE TO SPILLS:
Restrict areas to only those personnel needed. Stop discharge and contain spill or contaminated material using, dike, barrier or other means. Recover with pumping equipment, vacuum truck, absorbent, vermiculite or other means. Place contaminated material in suitable containers for further handling.

SECTION VIII - SAFE HANDLING AND USE INFORMATION

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
None should be required if adequate ventilation is provided. Otherwise, a NIOSH/MSHA approved chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge) is recommended within equipment limitations. Comply with OSHA 1910.134 (29 CFR), Respiratory Protection.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
For Hands and Body Chemical resistant gloves impervious to water and soap are recommended for hand protection. Work clothing for general body protection and other protective clothing as necessary to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.
For Eyes: Safety glasses and available eye bath.
Ventilation: General (mechanical) room ventilation is expected to be satisfactory.
