       Definition.  This material possesses no known hazards to health.

Signal Word:
       CAUTION!

Physical Health Hazards:
       Dry dust may form respirable particulates if disturbed.  
       If this material gets into the eyes, it could be irritating.
       Never allow material to remain on a surface to dry out; that
       way the potential hazard is eliminated.  Wipers used for the
       polishing should always be disposed of in an approved container.

Physical state:   Paste

Color:            Light pink


Odor:             Faint, mild ammonia odor

Odor threshold:   No data available


Potential Health Effects:

Routes of exposure
           Eye contact, ingestion, skin contact

Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure:
           This material if used properly, should not pose any kind of 
           real hazard. If the material is used improperly, for example, 
           if applied to a hot surface, organic vapors will be given off, 
           and if this was done in an improperly ventilated area, an 
           explosion hazard could be created.

Skin contact:
           Could be an irritant.

Inhalation:
           Material is an irritant at high levels of exposure; can
           cause headache and nausea.  Consult physician.


Eye contact:
           Mechanical irritation is possible; can be irritant.

Ingestion:
           Ingestion is unlikely, but if it does occur, material could 
           be expected to be an irritant.  Drink water after rinsing 
           out mouth first.  Try to prevent vomiting.

Chronic Health Effects Summary:
           No known chronic health effects.

Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
           No known conditions are aggravated by this material.

Work/Hygienic Practices:

           Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.

Carcinogenicity:
           NTP:  Not applicable
           IARC Monographs:  Not applicable
           OSHA Regulated:    Not applicable


Section 4: First Aid Measures

Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before 
attempting to rescue and providing first aid.  For specific information 
refer to the Emergency Overview in Section of this MSDS.

Inhalation:   If symptoms are experienced, move victim to fresh
              air, if symptoms persist, obtain medical attention.

Eye Contact:  Wash eyes with clean low-pressure water.
              Continue to rinse for 15 minutes.
              If irritation persists, seek medical
              advice.


Skin Contact:
Wash skin with soap and water until soapiness is removed.
If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

Ingestion:
If product is swallowed, first rinse out mouth several
times to remove material from mouth and to keep more from
being swallowed.  Give water to drink to wash alkaline product
into stomach.  Milk may be used to reduce the irritant effects
of kerosene.  Do not induce vomiting.

Hazardous Combustion Products:

Specific Dangers:  Combustion products may include carbon monoxide,
                   oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, and
                   unburned hydrocarbons.

Special Conditions to Avoid:
Organic dust particles in the atmosphere are combustible and
may be explosive.  Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and all
other ignition sources.  Keep container closed. Clean up dust
accumulations.  Prevent dust accumulations and dust clouds,
If used according to instructions, this kind of situation should 
never develop.

Extinguishing Media:
Any suitable medium for extinguishing the supporting fire.  Use 
water to keep fire-exposed containers cool.  For fire specifically
involving this product, use dry foam, dry chemical or water spray,
CO2, sand, or earth to extinguish the fire.
          

Fire Fighting Instructions:

Protective Equipment/Clothing:  Wear a NIOSH approved positive
pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and firefighter
turnout gear.  This should be selected on the basis of the
supporting fire.

Instructions:  Use flooding quantities of water until well
after fire is out.




Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

See Sections 8 and 13.

Release response:
Pick up with dry cloth and retain for recycle or disposal for
spills involving up to 5 liters.  Do not flush spilled material
to the sewer or the environment.  Formation of flammable vapor/air
mixtures possible.

Reportable Quantities:  See Section 15: Regulatory information.
For larger spills:  If possible, ventilate the area.  The spilled
material should be scooped into a suitable container for subsequent
disposal.  Consult local waste authority, Environmental Protection Agency,
local council or an expert on advice for disposal.



Section 7: Handling and Storage

Handling:  Use in well ventilated areas.  Wear suitable
gloves if prolonged exposure is contemplated.

Storage:
Store away from excessive heat and away from strong oxidizing
agents.  Keep container tightly closed to prevent evaporation of
liquid components.  Store in a cool, dry, frost-free place and well
out of the reach of children.

Section 11: Toxicological Information

This product contains white spirit and kerosene for which the
following apply:

Inhalation:  
  Vapor concentrations above recommended exposure limits
  are irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract, may
  cause headaches and dizziness, are anesthetic and may
  have other central nervous system effects.


Skin contact:  
  Low order of toxicity, frequent or prolonged contact may cause dermatitis.

Eye contact:  
  Irritating but does not injure eye tissue.

Ingestion:  
  Minimal toxicity.  The viscosity of this preparation
  mitigates the risk of aspiration into the respiratory
  system during ingestion or vomiting.

Chronic Effects/Carcinogenicity:
  None expected

Reproductive/Development Effects:
  No reproductive or developmental effects are expected.




Section 12: Ecological Information

This product contains 10-20% of white spirit which is highly volatile and
will rapidly evaporate to the air if released into the environment.  Based
upon data for similar materials white spirit is classified as R51/53 Toxic
to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic
environment.

White spirit is expected to biodegrade rapidly and be "readily"
biodegradable according to OECD guidelines.  It can degrade rapidly
in air and is expected to be removed in a waste water treatment facility.

Although data exists to show that white spirit is not expected to
persist in the aquatic environment, European Classification rules
require that it be classified as potentially causing long-term adverse
effects in the aquatic environment.


Section 13: Disposal Considerations

Consumer Instructions:  Empty tubes may be disposed of with normal
                        household waste.

Bulk Quantities:  Dispose of in accordance with local, regional or
                  national requirements.
