3. Hazard identification.

Toxic

Flammable

Contains: coal tar, benzo(a)pyrene, xylene Toxic by inhalation and in contact with skin. Irritating to eyes and skin. May cause cancer. May cause heritable genetic damage. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). Restricted to professional users. Attention - Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. ( EEC 8966 ) 4. First aid measures. Generally In case of doubt seek medical advice. By accident: Contact a doctor or hospital - bring the label or this safety data sheet with the patient. Inhalation Move the patient into fresh air and keep the patient under surveillance. If the patient is unconscious and not breathing administer artificial respiration. If the patient is breathing, place them in the unconscious position and keep warm by wrapping. Send for a doctor or ambulance immediately. Eyes Flush immediately with water for at least 10 minutes. Keep the eye wide open. If necessary seek medical attention. Skin Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Skin cleanser may be used. Never use thinner or solvent as these degrease the skin. In case of burns flush with water until the pain ceases. While flushing remove clothing from the affected area unless it is burnt into the skin. If hospital treatment is necessary flushing must continue during transfer and until the hospital staff takes over the treatment. Swallowing Do not provoke vomiting. If vomiting occurs keep the patients' head low to prevent vomit from entering the lungs. 5. Fire fighting measures. For firefighting use foam, carbon dioxide or chemical powder. Never use a water jet, this may spread the fire. Fire will evolve dense, black smoke. Combustion products are hazardous and respiratory protection may be needed. Cool exposed tanks or containers with water.

6. Accidental release measures. Remove possible sources of ignition and provide good ventilation. Avoid inhalation of vapours. See item 7 and 8 for handling precautions and personal protection. Collect spillage with a non-combustible absorbent material eg. granulate, sand or earth and place in disposable waste containers according to national legislation (see item 13). Spillage must not be flushed into sewers or streams. Preferably clean with a cleansing agent. Avoid use of solvents. If lakes, streams or the drainage systems have been contaminated inform the relevant authorities according to national legislation. 7. Handling and storage. Handling The vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the formation of flammable/explosive mixtures and avoid high vapour concentrations. The vapours are heavier than air and may spread along the floor.The product must not be used close to open fires or other possible sources of ignition. Electrical installations must be protected according to regulations. The product may be electrostatically charged. Always use earthed equipment when transferring the product from one container to another. It is recommended to use conductive floors and that personnel use antistatic footwear and clothing. Non-spark producing tools are recommended. Avoid all possible skin contact with with epoxy and amine containing produkts, they may cause allergic reactions. Avoid inhalation of vapours and spray mist. Do not eat, drink or smoke in working places. For personal protection, see item 8. Always use receptacles made of the same material as the original container. Storage Store according to national regulations for flammable liquids. Keep the product in closed containers, away from children, in a dry, well ventilated place and separated from foodstuffs according to national regulations. Keep the product away from sources of ignition, oxidizing substances and strong acidic or alkaline substances. Smoking in the vicinity is prohibited. Access by unauthorized persons should be prohibited. Opened containers should be carefully closed and kept in an upright position to avoid leakage.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection. Precautions. Arrange sufficient ventilation by local exhaust ventilation and good general ventilation. If this is not sufficient personal respiratory protection must be used. Spray-mist must never be inhaled. Threshold Limit Values Substance name alkylbenzenes C9-C10 butanol xylene phenol ethylbenzene Note * HL H H ppm 25 50 25 1 50 mg/m3 120 150 109 4 217

The Treshold Limit Values listed are in accordance with the Danish Working Environment Services list dated December 1996. L: the TLV is a ceiling value, H: may be absorbed via skin, K: considered to be carcinogenic, * TLV is the recommendation of the supplier. Personal protection - general Respiratory protection When the concentration of solvent and/or volatile substances is above the Threshold Limit Value, suitable respiratory equipment must be used. Hand protection Use suitable, disposable gloves. If possible, use cotton under-gloves. Do not use protective creams under, or in the place of, gloves. Eye protection Wear suitable goggles or face shield as a protection against splashes. Skin protection If necessary wear suitable protective clothing. Always wear protective clothing when spraying. 9. Physical and chemical properties. Physical state: Flash point (C): Density (kg/l): c pH: viscous liquid 25 1,3 Explosive limits (vol %): Weight % organic solvents: c Weight % water: c Miscible with water: 0,5 - 11,3 23 0 No

10. Stability and reactivity. When exposed to high temperature harmful decomposition products may be formed, e.g. carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and smoke. Keep the product away from oxidizing agents and strongly alkaline and strongly acidic materials to prevent the possibility of exothermic reaction.

11. Toxicological information. The product contains coal tar with the presence of polynuclear aromatic compounds, classified as carcinogenic in category 2 i.e. substances that should be considered to cause cancer in humans. The ready-to-use product also contains epoxy. Inhalation: Exposure to the solvent vapours may cause damage to several organs including liver, kidneys, brain and nervous system. Symptoms include loss of memory and concentration, abnormal fatigue, irritability and in extreme cases unconsciousness. Skin: Coal tar contains substances which can be absorped by the skin leading to irritation and eczema, especially when associated with sunlight. There is also the possibility of damage at the chromosonal level. Epoxy and amine containing products can cause skin disorders, such as allergic eczema. The allergy may arise after only a short exposure period. Repeated or prolonged contact with the product may lead to removal of natural fats from the skin resulting in non allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin. (See item 8). Eyes: Splashes in the eyes may cause irritation. Ingestion: Accidental swallowing may cause stomach pain. Chemical lung inflammation may occur if the product is taken into the lungs via vomiting. 12. Ecological information. The product must not be drained into water courses or drainage system. 13. Disposal considerations. Spillage, remains and non-cleaned cans should be regarded as chemical waste and be discarded in accordance with national legislation. Waste type: 14. Transport information. Transport may take place according to national regulation or ADR for transport by road, RID for transport by train or IMDG for transport by sea.
