AMERICA, 119 Rockland Avenue, Northvale, NJ 07647 24-Hour Emergency Phone Number: 800-424-9300 (CHEMTREC) 2. PRODUCT INGREDIENTS CHEMICAL NAME: CAS NUMBER: % RANGE: OSHA PEL: Trichloroethylene 79-01-6 60-90 100 ppm TWA Component Related Regulatory Information This product may be regulated, have exposure limits or other information identified as the following: F025- Hazardous wastes. The balance of ingredients not rated as hazardous as defined in 29 CFR 1910.1200. This product is considered hazardous under 29 CFR 1910.1200 (Hazard Communication) and the Canadian Controlled Products Regulations. 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: This product is a blue liquid adhesive. This product may be irritating to the eyes, respiratory system and skin. This product may cause central nervous system depression and allergic reactions. Skin absorption is possible. Component of this product is known to be a possible carcinogen. EYE: This product is irritating to the eyes. Vapors may also produce eye irritation. SKIN: This product is irritating to the skin. Prolonged and/or repeated skin contact with this product can cause defatting of skin and dermatitis. Skin absorption is possible, causing systemic poisoning. INGESTION: This product may be harmful if it is swallowed. Single dose toxicity is considered to be low. If aspirated (liquid enters the lung), this product may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other body systems. INHALATION: This product may be harmful by inhalation. Exposure to high concentrations of vapor or mist can cause central nervous system depression with symptoms of headache, dizziness, stupor, loss of consciousness or death. High concentrations can cause irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest and death. Overexposure has been shown to cause adverse effects on the liver and nervous system. 4. FIRST AID EYES: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, while holding eyelids open. If irritation persists get medical attention. SKIN: For skin contact flush with large amounts of water while removing contaminated clothing. If irritation persists, get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately. INHALATION: Move person to non-contaminated air. If the affected person is not breathing, apply artificial respiration. Seek medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: Flash Point: >200°F (93.3°C) Method Used: TOC, TCC, COC Upper Flammable Limit (UFL): 44.8% @ 212°F (100°C); Lower Flammable Limit (LFL): 8% @ 212°F (100°C); 8% 10.5% @ 77°F (25°C) @ 77°F (25°C) Auto Ignition: 788°F (420°C) Flammability Classification: Class IIIB liquid HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Hazardous combustion products may include and are not limited to hydrogen chloride. Hazardous combustion products may include trace amounts of phosgene and chlorine gases. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog. FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: This product poses a slight fire hazard. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Fire fighters should wear full-face, self-contained breathing apparatus and impervious protective clothing. Fire fighters should avoid inhaling any combustion products. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Contain the discharged material. Prevent contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. Material is heavier than water and has limited water solubility. It will collect on the lowest surface. CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES: Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean up. Absorb spill with inert material. Shovel material into appropriate container for disposal. EVACUATION PROCEDURES: Isolate area. Keep unnecessary personnel away. SPECIAL PROCEDURES: Notify National Response Center (800-424-8802) of uncontained releases to the environment in excess of the Reportable Quantity (RQ). For all transportation accidents, call CHEMTREC at 800-424-9300. 7. HANDLING & STORAGE HANDLING: Do not get this material in your eyes, on your skin, or on your clothing. Avoid breathing vapors or mists of this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. DO NOT eat, drink or smoke in product area. STORAGE: Keep packaged in original, labeled containers until use. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store in aluminum, zinc, aluminum alloys and plastic containers. Do not remove or deface label. Prevent water or moist air from entering containers. Do not reuse container without recycling or reconditioning in accordance with any Federal, Provincial, State or local laws. Do not use cutting or welding torches, open flames, or electric arcs on empty or full containers. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain worker exposure below exposure limits. PERSONAL PROTRECTIVE EQUIPMENT EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses with side shields. Contact lenses should not be exposed. Wear chemical goggles; face shield (if splashing is possible). If vapor exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator. SKIN PROTECTION: Use impervious gloves. Use of impervious apron and boots are recommended. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If airborne concentrations are above the applicable exposure limits, use NIOSH approved respiratory protection. EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(s): Component Exposure Limits REMA TIP/TOP USA recommends that its customers minimize employee exposure. REMA therefore suggests that its customers consider adopting the lower of the current OSHA PEL or the ACGIH TLV's for the purpose of evaluating employee exposures. The TLV's recommended by the ACGIH have been updated on a continuing basis.
