Excessive exposure may result in eye, skin, or respiratoryirritation. High-pressure injection under skin may cause serious damage.NOTE: This material should not be used for any other purpose than the intended use in Section 1without expert advice. Health studies have shown that chemical exposure may cause potential humanhealth risks which may vary from person to person.SECTION 5:INHALATIONSKIN CONTACTEYE CONTACTINGESTIONFIRST AID MEASURESThis product has a low vapor pressure and is not expected to present aninhalation problem at ambient temperature. However, if overexposed to oilmist, using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affectedperson immediately to fresh air. Administer artificial respiration if breathing isstopped. Keep at rest. Call for prompt medical attention.Immediately flush with large amount of water; use soap if available. Removecontaminated clothing and shoes, and launder before reuse.Immediately flush eyes with large amount of water for at least 15 minutes oruntil irritation subsides. If irritation persists, get prompt medical attention.If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. If individual is conscious, give milk orwater to dilute stomach contents. Keep warm and quiet. Get immediate medicalattention. DO NOT attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconsciousperson.SECTION 6:FIRE FIGHTING MEASURESEXTINGUISHING MEDIAIn case of fire use foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguishers.

Product Name: GEARKOTERevision Date: 04 September 2012Page 3 of 7FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURESSpecial Fire-fighting Procedures: Water jets should not be used directly on igniting products. Avoidspraying water directly into storage containers due to danger of boil-over.However, water may be used to cool exposed containers, structures andequipment adjacent to fire. Respiratory and eye protection required for firefightingpersonnel.Hazardous Combustion Products: Fumes, smoke, oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, carbon and other toxicgases may be formed.FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIESFlash Point, °C (COC): Gearkote 3K (230); Gearkote 22K (240)Auto-ignition Temperature: N/DSECTION 7:ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURESNOTIFICATION PROCEDURESIn the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicableregulations.PROTECTIVE MEASURESAvoid contact with spilled material. See Section 6 for fire-fighting information. See the HazardIdentification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 5 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for adviceon the minimum requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures maybe necessary, depending on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergencyresponders. For emergency responders: Respiratory protection: respiratory protection will benecessary only in special cases, e.g., formation of mists. Half-face or full-face respirator with filter(s) fordust/organic vapor or Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used depending on the size ofspill and potential level of exposure. If the exposure cannot be completely characterized or an oxygendeficient atmosphere is possible or anticipated, SCBA is recommended. Work gloves that are resistantto hydrocarbons are recommended. Gloves made of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) are not water-resistant andare not suitable for emergency use. Chemical goggles are recommended if splashes or contact with eyesis possible. Small spills: normal antistatic work clothes are usually adequate. Large spills: full body suitof chemical resistant, antistatic material is recommended.SPILL MANAGEMENTLand Spill: Taking normal safety precaution, eliminate sources of ignition. Preventadditional discharge of material, if possible to do so without hazard. For smallspills, implement cleanup procedures. For large spills, implement clean-upprocedures and, if in public area, keep public away and advise authorities.Prevent liquid from entering sewers, water courses, or low areas. Contain

Consult an expert ondisposal of recovered material and ensure conformity to local disposalregulations.Water Spill:SECTION 8:HandlingStorageSECTION 9:Use booms to confine spills immediately. Remove from water surface byskimming or with suitable adsorbents. If allowed by local authorities andenvironmental agencies, sinking and/or suitable dispersants may be used innon-confined waters. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material andensure conformity to local disposal regulations.HANDLING AND STORAGEKeep away from potential sources of ignition. Open container in a wellventilatedarea. Avoid breathing vapors. Keep containers closed when not inuse. Wash thoroughly after handling. “Empty” containers with retained productresidue (liquid or vapor) can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze,solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricityor other sources of ignition; they may explode and cause death or injury. Emptydrums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returnedto a drum re-conditioner, or properly disposed off.Do not store near potential sources of ignition. Store in well-ventilated area.Odorous and toxic fumes may form from the decomposition of this product ifstored at temperatures in excess of 60 o C for extended periods of time or if heatsources in excess of 70 o C are used.EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTIONExposure limits/standards for materials that can be formed when handling this productComponents Source ValueBitumen ACGIH 200 ppm, TLVPetroleum Hydrocarbons and additives ACGIHOSHA5mg/m 310 mg/m 3 (STEL)5mg/m 3NOTE: Limits/standards shown for guidance only.
