Classification of the
substance or mixture
Percentage of the mixture consisting of ingredient(s) of unknown toxicity: 7.8% (Oral),
96.5% (Dermal), 82.3% (Inhalation)
This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
(29 CFR 1910.1200).
This product contains TiO2 which has been classified as a GHS Carcinogen Category 2
based on its IARC 2B classification. For many PPG products, TiO2 is utilized as a raw
material in a liquid coating formulation. In this case, the TiO2 particles are bound in a
matrix with no meaningful potential for human exposure to unbound particles of TiO2
when the product is applied with a brush or roller. Sanding the coating surface or mist
from spray applications may be harmful depending on the duration and level of
exposure and require the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and/or
engineering controls (see Section 8).

Supplemental label
elements
Sanding and grinding dusts may be harmful if inhaled. This product contains crystalline
silica which can cause lung cancer or silicosis. The risk of cancer depends on the
duration and level of exposure to dust from sanding surfaces or mist from spray
applications. Repeated exposure to high vapor concentrations may cause irritation of
the respiratory system and permanent brain and nervous system damage. Inhalation of
vapor/aerosol concentrations above the recommended exposure limits causes
headaches, drowsiness and nausea and may lead to unconsciousness or death. Avoid
contact with skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Emits toxic fumes when
heated.
Hazards not otherwise
classified
Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin and cause irritation.

Section 4. First aid measures
Protection of first-aiders
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it is
suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or
self-contained breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to
give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water
before removing it, or wear gloves.
Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist immediately if large
quantities have been ingested or inhaled.

Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Hazardous thermal
decomposition products
Specific hazards arising
from the chemical
Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon oxides
metal oxide/oxides
Highly flammable liquid and vapor. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur
and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. Vapors may
accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of
ignition and flash back. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. This
material is toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Fire water contaminated with
this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway,
sewer or drain.
Use dry chemical,
CO₂,
water spray (fog) or foam.

Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Section 6. Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment
plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible,
absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in
container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the
same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources.
No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment.
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively,
or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste
disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
For non-emergency
personnel
If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in
Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For nonemergency personnel".
Section 7. Handling and storage
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Avoid exposure obtain special instructions before use. Avoid exposure during pregnancy. Do not
handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Do not get in eyes
or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do
not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the
original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept
tightly closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or
any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and
