LEL (% vol) lowest value of components: 1.0
UEL (% vol) highest value of components: 36.5
Hazardous Combustion Products: Oxides of carbon, oxides of nitrogen, and other organic combustion products.
Potential Hazards: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapours may form explosive
mixtures with air. Vapours may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapours are heavier than air. They will spread
along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapour explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in
sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated.
Means of Extinction Fire: CAUTION: This product has a low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be
inefficient. Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Use media suitable for surrounding fire. Plan fire
protection and response strategy through consultation with local fire protection authorities or appropriate specialists.
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Clear area of unprotected personnel. Firefighters should wear NIOSH-approved, self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces. Also, use water to flush spilled material
away from source. Vapours are harmful; stay upwind of a fire to minimize breathing of vapours, gases, fumes, or decomposition
products being generated.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: Containers exposed to intense heat from fire must be cooled to prevent vapour pressure
build-up that may result in container rupture. Cool containers exposed directly to flames with large quantities of water as needed to
prevent weakening of container itself. Never use a welding or cutting torch on or near container.
Empty Container Warning: “Empty” containers contain residues (liquid, solid, and/or vapour) that can be dangerous. DO NOT
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, grind, drill, solder, or expose containers to heat, sparks, open flame. They may explode and cause
injury and/or death. DO NOT attempt to clean drums. Residues are difficult to remove. “Empty” drums should be completely
drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum reconditioned. Dispose of all containers in an environmentally safe way
and in accordance with governmental regulations. For work on tasks, refer to OSHA regulations ANSIZ49.1 and other
governmental and industrial references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or other operations.
SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA

SECTION VI - TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Routes of Entry: Eye, Skin, Inhalation, Ingestion
Effects of Acute Exposure:
Eye: Direct eye contact with liquid will cause burning, redness and tearing. Contact with vapours are irritating to eyes.
Skin: Prolonged or repeated contact with liquid can cause drying and/or defatting of the skin, which may promote dermatitis and
irritation. Skin Absorption: Some components may absorb through the skin and cause central nervous system (CNS) effects
similar to inhalation.
Inhalation: Vapours can cause irritation to nose, throat and respiratory tract. High vapour concentrations may result in CNS
depression evidenced by giddiness, headache, dizziness and nausea. In extreme cases, unconsciousness and death can occur.
Ingestion: Swallowing of product will cause gastrointestinal distress, nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea. Material is moderately
Persons on Disulfiram (Antabuse R) therapy should be aware that the ethyl alcohol in this product is hazardous to them, just as alcohol from any source. Disulfiram reactions may follow ingestion of small amounts of alcohol and have also been described from skin contact. Reports of animal test studies, on one or more of the individual ingredients, have shown possible effects to the liver and kidneys. The relevance of these effects to man is unknown. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Repeated and prolonged overexposure, and/or individual sensitivity, may increase the potential for, and degree of, adverse health effects. Irritancy: Hazardous by WHMIS criteria
Respiratory Tract Sensitization: Insufficient data available.
Carcinogenicity: Not hazardous by WHMIS criteria.
Synergistic Materials: Insufficient data available.
Reproductive Effects: Insufficient data available.
Teratogenicity: Repeated ingestion of ethanol by pregnant mothers has been shown to adversely affect the central nervous system
of the fetus, producing a collection of effects, which together constitute the fetal alcohol syndrome. These include metal and
physical retardation, disturbances of learning, motor and language deficiencies, behavioral disorders and a small -sized head.
Prolonged and repeated exposure of pregnant animals to toluene (levels greater than approximately 1500ppm) has been reported to
cause adverse fetal developmental effects.
Mutagenicity: Insufficient data available.
SECTION VII - PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

Gloves: Solvent impermeable gloves are required for repeated or prolonged contact.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses where contact with the eye is anticipated. Chemical safety goggles should be worn whenever
there is a possibility of splashing or other contact with the eyes. Respiratory Protection: Proper selection of respiratory protection depends upon many factors, including duration and level of
exposure and conditions of use. In general, exposure to organic chemicals, such as those contained in this product, may not require the use of respiratory protection, if used in a well-ventilated area. In areas of restricted ventilation, a NIOSH approved organic vapour respirator may be required. Under certain conditions, such as spraying, a mechanical pre-filter may also be required. In confined areas, or in high exposure situations, a NIOSH/MSHA approved air-supplied respirator may be required. If the TLV's listed in Section II are exceeded, use a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator with an appropriate protection factor. Use material only with adequate ventilation to prevent exceeding the recommended exposure limit or a build-up of explosive concentrations in the air. Use explosion proof equipment. No smoking or open lights. Air-dry contaminated clothing in a well ventilated area before laundering. Other Protective Equipment Recommended: Safety shower and eye wash fountain in the work area.
Engineering Controls: Use general dilution and local exhaust in sufficient volume, and pattern to keep concentrations of
hazardous ingredients listed in Section II below the lowest exposure limit stated. Fumes emitted while baking this product must be properly vented. Sterling Marking Products - Quality Planning and Engineering Department

Leak and Spill Procedure:
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas; run-off from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. A vapour suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapours. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Waste Disposal: Review federal, provincial and local government requirements prior to disposal. Use a licensed waste treatment
facility or reclaimer.
Storage Requirements: Store in a tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-
ventilated area. Ensure storage area has adequate ventilation, and no source of open flame or sparks. Limit quantity of the material in storage. Ensure all bottles are properly labeled. Special Precautions: Ground all equipment to prevent static discharge. Keep containers away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling material. SECTION VIII - FIRST AID

Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of
the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.
Eye: Immediately flush eyes with a directed stream of water for 15 minutes, while holding eyelids open. If irritation or redness
develops or persists, get medical attention. Skin: Flush affected areas with large amounts of water, remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap
and water. If irritation or redness develops or persists, get medical attention. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If breathing difficulties develop, administer oxygen and get medical attention. If victim is
not breathing, administer artificial respiration and get medical attention. Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of
liquid into lungs (Aspiration pneumonitis can be fatal). If victim conscious and alert, give victim lukewarm water. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. SECTION IX - PREPARATION AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
