Special Fire Fighting Procedures/Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Under fire conditions irritating and/or toxic vapors or gases may be present.
V. HEALTH EFFECTS DATA
Animal Toxicity Oral,
LD50 (Ingestion): Greater than 5000 mg/kg (rat)
Eye Effects: Moderately irritating (rabbit)
Skin Effects: Not irritating (rabbit; 24 hr.)
Human Effects of Overexposure: Acetic acid emitted during the normal curing of this product will produce a sharp vinegar-like odor in the area of use. The odor gradually diminishes as the sealant cures. The acetic acid vapors may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, particularly in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area. Contact lenses wearers should remove contact lenses before product use. Do not handle contact lenses while any residual sealant remains on fingers. Direct contact with the uncured product will irritate the eyes and the mouth. Skin irritation may occur if contact is repeated and prolonged. Keep out of reach of children. Threshold Limit Value: 10 ppm for acetic acid vapors. 15ppm as a 15 minute STEL (ACGIH 1984-85)

VI. EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Consult a physician.
Skin Contact: Remove uncured product with a dry cloth or towel. Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Consult a physician immediately.
Ingestion: Consult a physician immediately.
VII. EMPLOYEE PROTECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
Eye Protection: None normally required. However, when applied to overhead surfaces, safety glasses are suggested.
Skin Protection: None required under ordinary conditions of use.
Respiratory Protection: None required unless vapor concentrations are excessive. ANIOSH approved organic vapor cartridge respirator can be used. Observe the manufacturers directions concerning the use of respiratory protection.
Ventilation: No special requirements. Local exhaust of dilution air will help dissipate vapors in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.
