Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification

Type mixture

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.

04

First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

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.

Skin contact

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.

Eye contact

No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove contact lenses, if worn, and immediately flush eyes with water.

Ingestion

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.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding area if material is involved in a fire (e.g., water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide).

Unsuitable media

None known.

Specific hazards

Irritating vapours or fumes may form if product is involved in fire

Firefighter Protection

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against potentially irritating vapours or fumes.

06

Accidental Release Measures

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

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.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed to avoid spills. Keep in a cool dry place.

Hygiene

Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation may be required.

Hands

Use good industrial hygiene practices to avoid skin contact. If contact with the material may occur, wear chemically protective gloves.

Eyes

If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.

Respiratory

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.

Skin/Body

Gloves, coveralls, apron, boots as necessary to minimize contact. Do not wear rings, watches or similar apparel that could entrap the material.

Environmental

Not available.
