SECTION 5 : Health Hazards


Applies to All Ingredients:
Potential Health Effects:
	Eyes-severe irritation; tearing skin, discoloration-drying; breathing- irritation, dizziness, unconsciousness (for solvent). For isocyanates, coughing, irritation of mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
Eye Contact:
	HUMAN EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Liquid, vapors, or aerosols are irritating to the eyes and can cause lachrymation (tearing effect). Corneal damage can occur; however, indications are that the damage is reversible and does not result in permanent injury.
Skin Contact:
	Slight to moderate irritation; skin sensitizer in guinea pigs. No conclusive evidence has been developed to indicate that Glisten PC is carcinogenic, teratogenic or that it causes reproductive effects in animals or humans. Active resin in Glisten PC has been reported by NSOSH to be mutagenic to Salmonella Typhimurium bacteria in the presence of a mammalian liver activation system. There is not full agreement in the scientific community on the significance of these Ames test results and their relationship to human safety in assessing the risk of cancer in man. HUMAN EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Glisten PC reacts with skin protein and tissue moisture and can cause localized irritation as well as discoloration. Prolonged contact could produce reddening, swelling, or blistering and, in some individual, skin sensitization resufting in dermatitis.
Inhalation:
	HUMAN EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Inhalation of Glisten PC vapors in concentrations above 0.02 ppm can produce irritation of the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract, running nose, sore throat, productive cough and a reduction of lung function. Extensive exposures to concentrations well above the TLV could lead to bronchitis, bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema. These effects are usually reversible. However, due to low volatility, high exposures are not anticipated except if the material is overheated or sprayed as an aerosol into the air. Hypersensitivity pneumonrtis has also been reported. Another type of response is hyperreactivity or hypersensitizstion. Persons with a preexisting unspecific bronchial hyperreactivity or persons with a specific isocyanate hypersensitivity (as a result of previous repeated overexposure or a single large dosage) will respond to small isocyanate concentrations at levels weil below the TLV of 0.02ppm. Symptoms could be immediate or delayed and include chest tightness, respiratory distress or asthmatic attack.
Ingestion:
	HUMAN EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Ingestion could result in irritation and some corrosive action in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract However, it is not considered a common occupational route of exposure.
	THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: For isocyanates, 0.02 ppm; for solvent, 200 ppm

SECTION 6 : Emergency And First Aid Procedures


Eye Contact:
	Flush with clean, lukewarm water (low pressure) for at least 15 min., occasionally lifting eyelids; obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact:
	Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly before re-use.
Inhalation:
	Move to an area free from risk of further exposure. Administer oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain medical attention. Asthmatic-type symptoms may develop and may be immediate or delayed up to several hours. Treatment is essentially symptomatic.
Ingestion:
	Do not induce vomiting. Give 250ml of milk or water to drink. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. Consult physician.

SECTION 7 : Reactivity Data


Chemical Stability:
	Stable under normal conditions.
Conditions to Avoid:
	Temperatures below 32 deg F (0 deg C) or above 122 deg F (50 deg C). TO MAINTAIN FRESHNESS: Avoid contact with water, alcohols, amines, strong bases, metal compounds or surface active materials.
Hazardous Polymerization:
	Will not occur under normal conditions.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
	(Typical of all paints): By fire, carbon dioxide, CO, oxides of nitrogen, traces of HCN, and elements unknown.

SECTION 8 : Precautions For Safe Handling


Spill Cleanup Measures:
	Eliminate source of ignition of vapors, wear protective clothing while cleaning up; absorb on sand, clay, or absorbent material.


Storage:
	Store in tightly closed container. At maximum storage temperatures noted, material may slowly polymerize without hazard. Ideal storage temperature range is 50-81 deg F (10 deg - 27 deg C). STORAGE TEMPERATURE (min/max): 32 deg F (0 deg C)/122 deg F (50 deg C) AVERAGE SHELF LIFE: 12 months @ 77 deg F (25 deg C)


Waste Disposal:
	Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Incineration is preferred. Decontaminate empty containers.

SECTION 9 : Control Measures


Ventilation System:
	Use in well-ventilated areas only. Have adequate general exhaust. Ventilation as required to maintain air concentrations below TLV's. If material is spray-applied, ventilation should be provided and air supplied respirators worn. Exhaust air may need to be cleaned by scrubbers or filters to reduce environmental contamination.
Skin Protection Description:
	Chemical-resistant gloves. Cover as much of the exposed skin area as possible with appropriate clothing. If skin creams are used, keep the area covered to a minimum.
Hand Protection Description:
	PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Solvent protective gloves.
Eye/Face Protection:
	Goggles or face mask. Safety glasses with sideshields, splash goggles or face shield. Contact lenses should not be worn.
Respiratory Protection:
	NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator. Use respirator that is recommended or approved for use in isocyanate containing environments (air purifying or fresh air supplied). Consider type of application and environmental concentrations. In spray applications you must protect against exposure to both vapor and spray mist. An air-supplied respirator is strongly recommended for spray application. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use 29 CFR, 1910.134.
Other Protective:
	Self-contained breathing apparatus if threshold limit is exceeded.
Exposure Limits:
	THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: For isocyanates, 0.02 ppm; for solvent, 200 ppm
