Section 3: Hazard Identification


Emergency overview:
       This material is not hazardous by OSHA Hazard Communication 
       Definition.  This material possesses no known hazards to health.


Signal Word:
       CAUTION!


Physical Health Hazards:
        When wet paste dries out, dry dust might form which may form
        respirable particulates if disturbed.  If this material gets
        into the eyes, either wet or dry, 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.  When wipers
        containing the dried paste are disturbed, respirable particulates
        could be formed.


Physical state:   Paste

Color:            Khaki

Odor:             Faint

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.  Do not rub the eyes as this
              product does contain abrasive powder
              and damage to the eye will result.


Skin Contact:
Wash skin with soap and water until soapiness is removed.
If irritation persists, seek medical advice.  Do not rub
the skin that contains this product since the product contains
abrasive particles which could end up causing skin damage.

Ingestion:
If product is swallowed, first rinse out mouth several
times to remove material from mouth and to keep more from
being swallowed.  Water may be taken to dilute the product
already in the stomach. Seek medical advice and consult a
physician promptly.

Flammability classification:
         Flammable

Flash Point/Method:    62°C (143.6°F) Pensky Martens

Auto-Ignition Temperature:  Not known

Flammable Limits:  Lower:   Not applicable
                   Upper:   Not applicable


Hazardous Combustion Products:

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


Special Conditions to Avoid:
Dried dust particles of this product suspended in the atmosphere
can be respirable and in addition, they can also be 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.

Personal precautions:
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Cleaning procedures:
Wipe thoroughly with wiping cloths, for example lint-free cotton wipers.

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.  Otherwise, less substantial gloves can be worn,
such as vinyl gloves.


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.  The recommended temperature range for
storage is between 0°C and 40°C.
