OPEX PRODUCTION LACQUER- MSDS MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Section 1 -- PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION PRODUCT NUMBER DATE OF PREPARATION HMIS CODES Health 2* L61W34 16-JAN-08 Flammability 3 Reactivity 0 PRODUCT NAME OPEX® L61 Production Lacquer MANUFACTURER'S NAME THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS COMPANY 101 Prospect Avenue N.W. TELEPHONE NUMBERS and WEBSITES Regulatory Information (216) 566-2902 Medical Emergency (216) 566-2917 Transportation Emergency for Chemical Emergency ONLY (spill, leak, (800) 424-9300 fire, exposure, or accident) Section 2 -- COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS % by WT CAS No. INGREDIENT UNITS VAPOR PRESSURE 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. Prolonged overexposure to solvent ingredients in Section 2 may cause adverse effects to the liver, urinary, blood forming, cardiovascular and reproductive systems. 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. Section 5 -- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLASH POINT LEL UEL FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION RED LABEL -- Flammable, Flash below 100 F (38 C) EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS Closed 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. 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 DOL Storage Class IB PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE Contents are FLAMMABLE. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. 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. Keep container closed when not in use. Transfer only to approved containers with complete and appropriate labeling. 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. PROTECTIVE GLOVES Wear gloves which are recommended by glove supplier for protection against materials in Section 2. 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 9 -- PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES PRODUCT WEIGHT 8.18 lb/gal 980 g/l Section 11 -- TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS Methyl Ethyl Ketone may increase the nervous system effects of other solvents. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. 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. IARC's Monograph No. 93 reports there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental rats exposed to titanium dioxide but inadequate evidence for carcinogenicity in humans and has assigned a Group 2B rating. In addition, the IARC summary concludes, "No significant exposure to titanium dioxide is thought to occur during the use of products in which titanium is bound to other materials, such as paint."
