4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
First Aid Measures
General Advice
Provide this SDS to medical personnel for treatment.
Eye Contact
Immediately flush with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes until irritation
subsides. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact
Wash w/ soap & water for @ least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Remove & wash contaminated clothing.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, leave area to obtain fresh air. If breathing
remains difficult, get medical attention.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, lean
patient forward to maintain an open airway & prevent aspiration. Get immediate medical
attention.
Most important symptoms and effects
Symptoms
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may result in dermatitis (red, dry skin). Direct contact
with eyes may cause temporary irritation. Exposed individuals may experience eye tearing,
redness and discomfort. Irritating to mouth, throat, and stomach if ingested. May cause
gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Overexposure to vapors during
application and curing may mildly irritate respiratory tract and result in coughing and
sneezing.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to Physician
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Asthma & asthma-like conditions may worsen
from prolonged or repeated exposure to dust, should sanding be performed.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal Precautions
Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet.
Other Information
Small Spills: 1 drum or less – Level D Equipment (gloves, chemical resistant apron, boots &
eye protection).
Large Spills: Rubber gloves, rubber boots, face shield & Tyvek suit as a minimum. Minimum
level of PPE for releases in which the oxygen level is < 19.5% or is unknown, should be
Level B: triple gloves (rubber gloves & nitrile gloves over latex gloves), chemical resistant
suit, fire-retardant clothing & boots, hard hat & self-contained breathing apparatus.
For Emergency Responders
Restrict access to spill area.
Environmental Precautions
Minimize use of water to prevent environmental contamination. Prevent spill or rinse from
contaminating storm drains, sewers, soil or groundwater. Do not allow discharge containing
this material to enter streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans or other waters unless in
accordance w/ requirements of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit & permitting authority has been notified in writing prior to discharge. Do not allow
discharge containing this material to enter sewer systems w/o previous ly notifying local
sewage treatment plant authority. For information, contact State Water Board or EPA
Regional Office
Other: U.S. regulations may require reporting of spills of this material reaching surface
waters if sheen is formed.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for Containment
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Use absorbent material to contain spill.
Methods for Clean-Up
Sweep up absorbed material and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Wash area
with soap and water. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on Safe Handling
Keep out of reach of children & pets. Do not take internally. Do not breathe vapors or dust.
If dry sanding use NIOSH-approved dust mask. Use only w/ adequate ventilation. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact w/ eyes, skin & clothing. Open windows & doors to
ensure cross-ventilation & fresh air during application & curing. Do not eat or drink while
handling this material. In event of spill – see Section 6.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage Conditions
Stable under normal conditions of handling, use & storage. Store containers in a cool, dry
location, away from direct sunlight & high temperatures. Protect from freezing. Store away
from incompatible materials (caustics & oxidizers). Close container after each use & keep
tightly closed when not in use. To maximize shelf life, store @ temperatures below 26C
(80F).
Incompatible Materials
Strong bases. Oxidizing agents.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/Face Protection
Use approved safety goggles or safety glasses. If necessary, refer to appropriate
regulations & standards.
Skin and Body Protection
Skin: Wear chemical resistant rubber gloves for repeated or prolonged use.
Body: Not required w/ normal use.
Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing of dust. Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. If concentrations exceed
exposure limits specified, use a NIOSH-approved supplied air respirator. If protection factor
exceeded, use self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). A respiratory protection
program that exceeds OSHA 1910.134 & ANSI Z88.2 requirements should be followed
when conditions warrant respirator use. If dry sanding preferred, use approved
NIOSH/OSHA respirator.
General Hygiene Considerations
Wash hands w/ soap & water before breaks & @ end of workday. Remove & wash
contaminated clothing prior to re-use.

Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure
Sensitization
Not known to be human skin or respiratory sensitizers.
Carcinogenicity
Titanium dioxide is a possible carcinogen when it appears as a respirable dust
Product contains trace amounts of residual Formaldehyde. OSHA & NTP identify
Formaldehyde as a potential carcinogen. IARC identifies Formaldehyde as a human
carcinogen. Formaldehyde has been shown to cause mutations in a variety of in-vitro test
systems, w/ human significance unknown. Rats have shown carcinogenic effects in
respiratory system. Risk should be minimal when used w/ adequate ventilation. Maintain
adequate ventilation to prevent exposure above OSHA exposure limits.
