Proprietary Resins and Additives: 10-30%, CAS numbers proprietary
Impurities: Trace metal dryers, pigment dispersions, anti-settling agents
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Keep warm and at rest. Loosen tight clothing. Seek immediate medical attention for irregular breathing.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical help if irritation persists.
Eye Contact: Flush cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if safe. Contact an eye care specialist.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison center immediately.
Note to Physician: Monitor for respiratory distress and aspiration. Consider supportive respiratory management.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical powder, CO2 extinguishers. Water spray for cooling containers only.
Specific Hazards: Vapor cloud may catch fire; risk of explosion. Decomposition yields toxic gases like carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use fully encapsulated suits, self-contained breathing apparatus.
Special Precautions: Withdraw if rising sound from venting safety device. Fight fire from windward side. Cool containers exposed to flames.
Explosion Data: Vapors may ignite with static discharge. Closed containers may explode when heated.
Personal Precautions: Remove ignition sources. Provide adequate ventilation. Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
Environment Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, watercourses, or soil. Notify local authorities upon environmental exposure.
Methods for Cleaning Up: Contain spill with inert material like sand or earth. Collect using non-sparking tools. Place in approved chemical waste container.
Emergency Procedures: Equip responders with chemical splash suits. Use appropriate respirators.
Reference to Other Sections: For disposal, see section on disposal considerations.
Handling: Handle only in areas with explosion-proof ventilation. Use grounding and bonding for metal containers. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Storage: Store below 30°C, away from sunlight and heat. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated area. Store segregated from strong oxidants, acids.
Specific Instructions: Implement measures to prevent static electricity and vapor accumulation. Use containers made from compatible materials.
Incompatible Materials: Acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents.
Other Storage Requirements: Maintain spill containment systems and fire suppression equipment.
Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs): Xylene – 100 ppm, Toluene – 50 ppm, n-Butyl Acetate – 150 ppm (OSHA TLVs).
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or explosion-proof general mechanical systems.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Flame-resistant gloves, safety goggles, full-cover chemical resistant clothing, organic vapor respirators.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing before returning to community areas.
Environmental Controls: Monitor for fugitive solvent emissions. Use closed-loop transfer wherever practical.
Form: Viscous liquid, various colors
Odor: Strong, solvent-like, sweetish or aromatic
Flash Point (Closed Cup): 7 - 34°C (dependent on solvent mix)
Auto-Ignition Temperature: 400-500°C
Flammable Limits in Air: Lower: 1.1%, Upper: 7.1% (v/v for key solvents)
Vapor Pressure: 5 to 20 hPa at 20°C
Solubility: Insoluble in water; miscible with most organic solvents
Boiling Point Range: 80-140°C
Evaporation Rate: High compared to water
Density: 0.90-1.10 g/cm³
Viscosity: 60-120 KU at 25°C
Chemical Stability: Remains stable in sealed containers at room temperature.
Hazardous Reactions: Contact with oxidizers leads to exothermic reactions. Avoid exposure to heat and direct sunlight.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Through combustion, forms carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, small amounts of aldehydes.
Conditions to Avoid: High temperatures, open flame, static discharge, acidic or basic environments.
Incompatible Materials: Peroxides, nitrates, chlorinated compounds.
Acute Toxicity: Causes respiratory tract irritation. Overexposure leads to headache, dizziness, unconsciousness in confined spaces.
Skin/Sensitization: Prolonged contact results in dryness, cracking, possible allergic reaction from residual catalyst.
Eye Effects: Redness, tearing, stinging pain.
Inhalation Effects: Irritation to nose, throat, and lungs. At high concentrations may cause central nervous system depression.
Ingestion Effects: Drowsiness, nausea, chemical pneumonitis possible if aspirated.
Chronic Effects: Prolonged and repeated exposure may damage liver, kidneys, or nervous system.
Aquatic Toxicity: Toxic to aquatic organisms. Causes long-term adverse effects in aquatic environments.
Persistence and Degradability: Major solvents like xylene, toluene are rapidly biodegradable in air, more persistent in water and soil, and may bioaccumulate.
Mobility: Readily migrates through soil and water table. Volatilizes quickly from surface films.
Other Ecological Effects: Coating run-off harms fish eggs, waterfowl, amphibians by reducing water oxygen content.
Hazard to Environment: Releases from spills reach groundwater and surface water; impacts aquatic food chain.
Waste Treatment Methods: Incinerate under controlled conditions in facilities licensed to burn hazardous organic solvents.
Waste Code: U220, U239 (US EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers for key solvents)
Container Disposal: Triple rinse empty drums before recycling. Destroy by crushing or chemical treatment.
Precautions: Never pour down sinks, drains, or soil. Comply with environmental protection orders in your region.
Other Recommendations: Engage professional hazardous waste service for bulk collection.
