Regulatory Status
This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
This product is a controlled product according to Canada’s Controlled Product Regulation.
* * * Section 3 - COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS* * *
Component Related Regulatory Information
This product may be regulated, have exposure limits or other information identified as the following: Hexane
isomers, Aliphatic hydrocarbon gases (Alkane [C1-C4]), Pentanes.
* * * Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES* * *
Inhalation

If bonding occurs, immerse the bonded surfaces in warm soapy water. Peel or roll the surfaces apart using a
blunt edge, such as a spatula or spoon handle. Do not pull surfaces apart with a direct opposing action. If
burns occur, treat as thermal burns. Get medical attention, if needed.
Eyes
If bonding to tissues occurs, wash with large amounts of warm water. Cover both eyes with sterile bandages.
The eye will open without further action. Do not pull surfaces apart with a direct opposing action. If burns
occur, treat as thermal burns. Get medical attention.
Ingestion
If swallowed, get medical attention.
Note to Physicians
For inhalation, consider oxygen.
* * * Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES* * *
See Section 9 for Flammability Properties
Flammable Properties
Severe fire hazard. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources and
flash back. Containers may rupture or explode if exposed to heat.
Extinguishing Media
carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
Wear full protective fire fighting gear including self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for protection
against possible exposure.
Fire Fighting Measures
Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after
the fire is out. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low
areas.
Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible
without personal risk. Small spills of the liquid component: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible
material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Spills with a large number of canisters:
Reduce vapors with water spra
. Remove sources of ignition. Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee
Page 4

and State Emergency Response Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section
304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response
Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA).
* * * Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE* * *
Handling Procedures
Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not eat, drink, or smoke
when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Since emptied containers retain material residue,
follow safe handling/label warnings even after container is emptied. Do not cut, puncture, or weld on or near
this container.
Storage Procedures
Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Store below 49 C. Keep away from
heat, sparks and flame. Avoid direct sunlight. See original container for storage recommendations. Keep
separated from incompatible substances.
