2 Hazards identification
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
Product definition Mixture
Classification according to directive 1999/45/EC [DPD]
The product is classified as dangerous according to directive 1999/45/EC and its
amendments.
Classification R10
Physical/chemical hazards Flammable
See section 16 for the full text of the R pharses or H statements declared above.
See section 11 for more detailed information on health effects ant symptoms.
Type
[1] Substance classified with a health or environmental hazard
[2] Substance with a workplace exposure limit
[3] Substance meets the criteria for PBT according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006,Annex XIII
[4] Substance meets the criteria for vPvB according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XIII
4.2 Most imprtant symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
There are no data available on the preparation itself. The preparation has been assessed following the
conventional method of the Dangerous Preparations Directive 1999/45/EC and classified for toxicological
hazards accordingly. See sections 3 and 15 for details.
Exposure to component solvent vapour concentrations in excess of the stated occupational exposure limit may
result in adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and respiratory system irritation and adverse effects
on the kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue,
muscular weakness, drowsiness and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
Solvents may cause some of the above effects by absorption through the skin. Repeated or prolonged contact
with the preparation may cause removal of natural fat from the skin, resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis
and absorption through the skin.
If splashed in the eyes, the liquid may cause irritation and reversible damage.
Ingestion may cause nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.
This takes into account, where known, delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects of components
from short-term and long-term exposure by oral, inhalation and dermal routes of exposure and eye contact.
Contains cobalt bis(2-ethylhexanoate). May produce an allergic reaction.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to physician Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist immediately if large
quantities have been ingested or inhaled.
Specific treatments No specific treatment.
See toxicological information (Section 11)
5.1 Extinguishing media Use water fog to control heat.Alcohol resistant foam,dry
chemical or carbon di oxide to extinguish flames.
Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use water jet.
5.2 Special hazards arising
from the substance or
mixture
Hazards from the Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to
substance or mixture decomposition products may cause a health hazard.
Hazardous thermal Decomposition products may include the following
decomposition products materials: carbon monoxide,carbon dioxide, smoke, oxides
of nitrogen.
5.1 Extinguishing media Use water fog to control heat.Alcohol resistant foam,dry
chemical or carbon di oxide to extinguish flames.
7.1 Precautions for safe Do not store and handle in aluminium equipment at
handling temperature above 50°C.
Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive
concentrations of vapours in air and avoid vapour
concentrations higher than the occupational exposure
limits. In addition, the product should only be used in areas
from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition
have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be
protected to the appropriate standard.
To dissipate static electricity during transfer, earth drum
and connect to receiving container with bonding strap.
Operators should wear antistatic footwear and clothing
and floors should be of the conducting type.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. No sparking tools
should be used.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid the inhalation of
dust, particulates, spray or mist arising from the application
of this preparation. Avoid inhalation of dust from sanding.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas
where this material is handled, stored and processed.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see
Section 8).
Never use pressure to empty. Container is not a pressure
vessel.
Always keep in containers made from the same material as
the original one.
Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
Information on fire and explosion protection.
Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.
Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
Skin protection
Hand protection Barrier creams may help to protect the exposed areas of the skin but should
not be applied once exposure has occurred.
Body protection Personnel should wear antistatic clothing made of natural fibres or of
hightemperature-
resistant synthetic fibres.
Other skin protection Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be
selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should
be approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Respiratory protection If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit, they must
use
appropriate, certified respirators.
Dry sanding, flame cutting and/or welding of the dry paint film will give rise to
dust
and/or hazardous fumes. Wet sanding/flatting should be used wherever
possible. If
exposure cannot be avoided by the provision of local exhaust ventilation,
suitable
respiratory protective equipment should be used.
Environmental exposure controls Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses.
10.1 Reactivity No specific test data related to reactivity available for this product or its
ingredients.
10.2 Chemical stability Stable under recomended storage and handling conditions (see section 7).
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous reactions will not
occur.
10.4 Conditions to avoid When exposed to high temperature may produce hazardous decomposition
products.
10.5 Incompatible materials Keep away from the following materials to prevent strong exothermic
reactions : oxidising agents, strong alkalis, strong acids.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition
products should not be produced.
