Section 3 -- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
INHALATION of vapor or spray mist.
EYE or SKIN contact with the product, vapor or spray mist.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYES: Irritation.
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation.
INHALATION: Irritation of the upper respiratory system.
May cause nervous system depression. Extreme overexposure may result in
unconsciousness and possibly death.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Headache, dizziness, nausea, and loss of coordination are indications of
excessive exposure to vapors or spray mists.
Redness and itching or burning sensation may indicate eye or excessive
skin exposure.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
None generally recognized.
CANCER INFORMATION
For complete discussion of toxicology data refer to Section 11.
===========================================================================
Section 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EYES: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention.
SKIN: Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use.
INHALATION: If affected, remove from exposure. Restore breathing.
Keep warm and quiet.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting.
Get medical attention immediately.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat.
Application to hot surfaces requires special precautions.
During emergency conditions overexposure to decomposition products may
cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain
medical attention.
Continued on page 3 DC540 page 3
===========================================================================
SPECIAL 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 closed containers to prevent
pressure build-up and possible autoignition or explosion when exposed to
extreme heat.
===========================================================================
Section 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate the area.
Remove with inert absorbent.
===========================================================================
Section 7 -- HANDLING AND STORAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORAGE CATEGORY
Not Available
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Vapors will accumulate
readily and may ignite explosively.
During use and until all vapors are gone: Keep area ventilated - Do not
smoke - Extinguish all flames, pilot lights, and heaters - Turn off stoves,
electric tools and appliances, and any other sources of ignition.
Consult NFPA Code. Use approved Bonding and Grounding procedures.
Contents under pressure. Do not puncture, incinerate, or expose to
temperature above 120F. Heat from sunlight, radiators, stoves, hot water,
and other heat sources could cause container to burst. Do not take
internally. Keep out of the reach of children.
===========================================================================
Section 8 -- EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN USE
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapor and spray mist.
Wash hands after using.
This coating may contain materials classified as nuisance particulates
(listed "as Dust" in Section 2) which may be present at hazardous levels
only during sanding or abrading of the dried film. If no specific dusts
are listed in Section 2, the applicable limits for nuisance dusts are ACGIH
TLV 10 mg/m3 (total dust), 3 mg/m3 (respirable fraction), OSHA PEL 15 mg/m3
(total dust), 5 mg/m3 (respirable fraction).
VENTILATION
Local exhaust preferable. General exhaust acceptable if the exposure to
materials in Section 2 is maintained below applicable exposure limits.
Refer to OSHA Standards 1910.94, 1910.107, 1910.108.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If personal exposure cannot be controlled below applicable limits by
ventilation, wear a properly fitted organic vapor/particulate respirator
approved by NIOSH/MSHA for protection against materials in Section 2.
When sanding or abrading the dried film, wear a dust/mist respirator
approved by NIOSH/MSHA for dust which may be generated from this product,
underlying paint, or the abrasive.
Continued on page 4 DC540 page 4
===========================================================================
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
None required for normal application of aerosol products where minimal
skin contact is expected. For long or repeated contact, wear chemical
resistant gloves.
EYE PROTECTION
Wear safety spectacles with unperforated sideshields.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the
contents can be harmful or fatal.

Section 11 -- TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS
Ethylbenzene is classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans
(2B) based on inadequate evidence in humans and sufficient evidence in
laboratory animals. Lifetime inhalation exposure of rats and mice to high
ethylbenzene concentrations resulted in increases in certain types of
cancer, including kidney tumors in rats and lung and liver tumors in mice.
These effects were not observed in animals exposed to lower concentrations.
There is no evidence that ethylbenzene causes cancer in humans.
Prolonged overexposure to solvent ingredients in Section 2 may cause
adverse effects to the liver, urinary, cardiovascular and reproductive
systems.
Rats exposed to titanium dioxide dust at 250 mg./m3 developed lung
cancer, however, such exposure levels are not attainable in the workplace.
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents
with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
