Product code AT8Product name AMERCOAT 8 THINNERHazardous combustionproductsSpecial protectiveequipment for fire-fighters::Date of issue 21 January 2009 Version 3.01Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident ifthere is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitabletraining. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use waterspray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.Decomposition products may include the following materials:carbon oxidesFire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-containedbreathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressuremode.Section 6. Accidental release measuresPersonal precautionsEnvironmental precautionsLarge spill :Small spillSection 7. Handling and storage: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel fromentering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources.No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provideadequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).:Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drainsand sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmentalpollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release fromupwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain andcollect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculiteor diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to localregulations (see section 13). Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbentmaterial may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see section 1 foremergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal.: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mopup if water-soluble or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriatewaste disposal container. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.Handling:Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Use only withadequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment.Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material ishandled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face beforeeating, drinking and smoking. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. Avoidcontact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not enter storage areas and confinedspaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the original container or an approvedalternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use.Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Usenon-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges.To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding andbonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Empty containersretain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.ChinaPage: 2/6

Exposure controls/personal protectionChemical name:Date of issue 21 January 2009 Version 3.01Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approvedarea. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and wellventilatedarea, away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food anddrink. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keepcontainer tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have beenopened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not storein unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmentalcontamination.Exposure limitsbutanone GBZ-2 (China, 8/2007).PC-STEL: 600 mg/m³, 0 times per shift, 15minute(s).PC-TWA: 300 mg/m³, 0 times per shift, 8hour(s).cyclohexanoneGBZ-2 (China, 8/2007).

Reference should be made to European Standard EN 689 formethods for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents andnational guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardoussubstances.: Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaustventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airbornecontaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controlsalso need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosivelimits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, beforeeating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations andsafety showers are close to the workstation location.Chemical splash goggles.Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard shouldbe worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicatesthis is necessary.: For prolonged or repeated handling, use the following type of gloves:Respiratory protection :Skin protection:Recommended: foilIf workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit, they must useappropriate, certified respirators. Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fedrespirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this isnecessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposurelevels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selectedrespirator.Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the taskbeing performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialistbefore handling this product.ChinaPage: 3/6
