Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
The other ingredients in the product are either considered non-hazardous or are below their respective GHS cut-off values/concentration limits in the final product and were therefore not disclosed in the SDS.
| Chemical Name | CAS Number | Concentration | Hazardous |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium dioxide a EC: 643-044-1 | 13463-67-7 | 1.65% | Yes |
Notes
a titanium dioxide (airborne particles of respirable size) (CAS No. 13463-67-7) may be hazardous when inhaled. Given the nature and physical form of the product (i.e., liquid) airborne respirable particles would not likely be released from the product and therefore the hazard is not relevant to the product.
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
No specific first aid measures are required. Inhalation route of exposure is not anticipated with intended use. If exposed to excessive levels of material in the air, move the exposed person to fresh air.
No specific first aid measures are required. If irritation occurs, wash with plenty of water and soap. Take off contaminated clothing. If skin irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove contact lenses, if worn, and immediately flush eyes with water.
No specific first aid measures are required. Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention if in doubt.
Medical Treatment
Not required.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding area if material is involved in a fire (e.g., water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide).
None known.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Employees should be trained in the safe use and handling of chemical materials. Refer to Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection.
Keep container tightly closed to avoid spills. Keep in a cool dry place.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation may be required.
Use good industrial hygiene practices to avoid skin contact. If contact with the material may occur, wear chemically protective gloves.
If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
Under normal conditions of use, respirator is not usually required. Use appropriate respiratory protection if exposure to dust particles, mist or vapors is likely. Consult with an industrial hygienist to determine the appropriate respiratory protection for your specific use of this material. A respiratory protection program compliant with all applicable regulations must be followed whenever workplace conditions require the use of a respirator.
Gloves, coveralls, apron, boots as necessary to minimize contact. Do not wear rings, watches or similar apparel that could entrap the material.
