dry. If necessary remove any surface contaminates<br />
such as grease/oil, moss, lichen, or any other organic<br />
growth with a suitable fungicidal wash.<br />
Any blisters in existing membranes should be cut and<br />
rebounded and sealed. Any cracks or splits should be<br />
made good using <strong>Xtra</strong>-<strong>Seal</strong> Repair <strong>Compound</strong>.<br />

PRODUCT DATA SHEET<br />
<strong>Xtra</strong>-<strong>Seal</strong> <strong>Chipping</strong> Solution<br />
Health and Safety<br />
Flammability: Flammable<br />
Keep away from sources of ignition including pilot<br />
lights and sparks.<br />
Take precautionary measures against static<br />
discharge.<br />
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.<br />
DO NOT SMOKE<br />
If used in an enclosed space ensure thorough<br />
ventilation of the area (using flame proof mechanical<br />
blowers if necessary) to avoid any accumulation of<br />
vapour until the product has dried. In case of fire use<br />
dry powder, carbon dioxide (CO2), foam, sand or<br />
earth. Never use water as this may spread the fire.<br />
Note: Electric motors, light/power switches and steel<br />
tools may generate sparks sufficient to ignite the<br />
product or vapour, resulting in an explosion and/or<br />
fire.<br />
Skin Contact: Contains solvents that cause de-fatting<br />
of the skin and, in extreme circumstances dermatitis.<br />
Avoid contact by careful working and use of barrier<br />
creams or wear gloves. Remove skin contamination<br />
immediately with a proprietary cleaner and wash<br />
hands with soap and water.<br />
Eye Contact: Avoid contact. Could have an irritating<br />
effect. In the event of accidental contact, wash eyes<br />
with clean water for 15 minutes and obtain medical<br />
attention.<br />
Inhalation: Contains low volatility solvent. When used<br />
on roofs stand upwind of the work and avoid<br />
inhalation.<br />
Switch off all working ventilation inlets prior to the use<br />
of the material; leave covered until there is no odour<br />
of the solvent in the vicinity.<br />
Indoors, use only in well ventilated areas. In the event<br />
of discomfort as a result of inhalation move person to<br />
fresh air. If discomfort persists obtain medical<br />
attention.<br />
Oral ingestion: With proper handling this should not<br />
occur. The possibility can be minimized by not<br />
consuming food in the working area and by washing<br />
hands thoroughly before eating, drinking or smoking.<br />
