285-21 2.1 VOC Primer 0 0 NLR 285212 Page 3 SECTION 4 - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA (cont) Extinguishing Media: Use foam, CO2 or dry chemical extinguishing media. 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 containers to prevent pressure build-up due to extreme heat. Run-off water from fire may be contaminated; contain if possible. Notify authorities. Unusual Hazards: Keep container tightly closed. Avoid heat, open flames, sparks, static electricity and electrical equipment. Closed containers may explode to extreme heat. Do not apply on hot surfaces. Product may emit flammable vapors which when mixed with air may burn or explode. Vapors are heavier than air, and may collect in low areas or travel to ignition sources- During a fire, irritating and toxic gase-s may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. SECTION 5 - HEALTH EFFECTS Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquified gases. Acute Overexposure Effects: The primary route of entry when using paint and paint related products is considered to be inhalation. Anesthetic. Irritation of the respiratory tract or acute nervous system depression. Overexposure may result in headaches and nausea possibly followed by loss of consciousness. Ingestion: Gastrointestinal irritation including vomiting can occur. Aspiration of the material into the lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal. Prolonged or repeated contact with the eyes and skin may result in irritation. This material contains epoxy resins which may result in skin irritation or sensitization after repeated contact. Ingestion of the solid may result in gastric disturbances. Contact with eyes, skin, respiratory tract, or mucous membranes will cause irritation. Acute exposures to relatively large amounts of acetone can result in local effects, such as irritation to eyes, nose, throat, and respira- tory tract as well as systemic effects such as central nervous system (CNS) depression, which can range in severity from lightheadedness to loss of consciousness depending on the magnitude and length of the exposure. Rats exposed to ethyl-3-ethoxy propionate by inhalation exhibited minor CNS effects. Formaldehyde is highly irritating to the upper respiratory tract and eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Repeated exposure may lead to sensitization in some individuals. Formaldehyde overexposure can cause symptoms of bronchial asthma, either by direct irritation or sensitization. Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory
