PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Exposure Standards:
Methyl Ethyl Ketone
2Methoxy1methylethyacet
Toluene
Xylene (isomers mixture)
Isopropyl Alcohol
Methyl Methacrylate
200,000 ppm
50,000 ppm
50,000 ppm
100,000 ppm
400,000 ppm
50,000 ppm - TWA
Engineering Controls:
Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably predicable this should be achieved by the use
of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction.
If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and/or solvent vapours
below the relevant occupational exposure limits, suitable respiratory protective equipment
should be worn (see “Personal protection below)
Personal Protection:
Respiratory protection. - Air-fed respiratory protective equipment should be worn when this
product is sprayed if the exposure of the sprayer or other people nearby cannot be controlled
to below the occupational exposure limit and engineering controls and methods cannot be
improved.
Hand protection. - When skin exposure may occur, advice should be sought from gloves
suppliers on appropriate types. Barrier creams may help to protect exposed areas of the skin
but are not substitutes for full physical protection. They should not be applied once exposure
has occurred.
Eye protection. - Eye protection designed to protect against liquids splashes should be worn.
Skin protection. – Cotton or cotton/synthetic overalls or coveralls are normally suitable.
Grossly contaminated clothing should be removed and the skin washed with soap and water
or a proprietary skin cleaner.
Flammability and Reactivity:
Stable under the recommended storage and handling conditions. In a fire, hazardous
decomposition products such as smoke carbon monoxide; carbon dioxide and oxides of
nitrogen may be produced.
Keep away for oxidising agents and strongly acidic materials to prevent the possibility of
exothermic reaction.

SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
Storage and Transport
Handling: Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. They may form
explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of
vapour in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher then the occupational exposure limits.
Additionally, the product should only be used in areas from which all-naked lights and other
sources of ignition have been excluded.
Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard.
Keep the container tightly closed. Exclude sources of heat, sparks and open flames. Nonsparking tools should be used.
Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour and spray mist. Smoking, eating and
drinking should be prohibited in areas of storage and use. Do not use pressure to pour liquids
from containers; they are not pressure-proof containers.
Never use containers. Never use containers different from the original ones. Keep a high
standard of hygiene and house keeping, removing continuously the wastes, and thus
minimizing the spontaneous self-combustion risks.
The product is subject to electrostatic charging. Provide adequate earthing in case of pouring,
filling instructions. The operators must wear electrostatic boots and the flooring must be
conductive.
Storage: Follow all the precautions reported on the label. Store the material in a fresh, wellventilated place, preferably at the temperature between 5 and 25 deg. C, keeping the
containers away from direct sun exposure. Do not smoke. Do not allow free entrance into the
storage area to unauthorized personnel The partially opened containers must be carefully
sealed and kept vertical position to prevent spillages.
Spills and Disposal
Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Exclude non-essential personnel. Avoid
breathing vapours. Contain and collect spillages with non-combustible absorbent materials,
e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth and place in a suitable container for disposal
in accordance with the waste regulations Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses.
Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid the use of solvents. If the product enter drains or
sewers the local water company should be contacted immediately; in the case of streams
rivers or lakes, the national Rivers Authority

Fire/Explosion Hazards
Extinguishing media: Use foam, carbon dioxide, powder extinguishers or other chemical fire
fighting apparatus. A positive pressure self-containing breathing apparatus is often necessary.
Clean fire area from unprotected personnel.
Do not enter confined space without helmet, face shield, bunker coat, gloves, rubber boots. A
water stream can scatter flames. A water spray may be used to cool closed containers to
prevent pressure build up and auto ignition or explosion when exposed to fire.
Fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of combustions
Decomposition products may be a hazard to health. Do not allow entering drains or
watercourses.
