SECTION 4: First-aid measures
4.1

Description of first-aid measures
General notes
Do not leave affected person unattended. Remove victim out of the danger area. Keep affected person warm, still andcovered. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice. In case of unconsciousness place person in the recovery position. Never give anything by mouth.

Following inhalation
If breathing is irregular or stopped, immediately seek medical assistance and start first aid actions. In case of respiratory
tract irritation, consult a physician. Provide fresh air.

Following skin contact
Wash with plenty of soap and water.

Following eye contact
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10
minutes, holding the eyelids apart.

Following ingestion
Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do NOT induce vomiting.

14.6

Remarks
Cerakote H-Series Part A products do not need to be regulated for purposes of transportation due to the fact that thep-chlorobenzotrifluoride (CAS# 98-56-6) contained in the mixture does not sustain combustion. Per 49 CFR § 173.120(a)(3)of the hazardous materials regulations, liquids with a flash point greater than 35°C that do not sustain combustion according to ASTM D 4206 do not meet the definition of a Class 3 Flammable Liquid. Additionally, International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations section 3.3.1.3(a) states that liquids which do not sustain combustion "need not
be considered as flammable" if the liquid has "passed a suitable test for combustibility" as prescribed by the UN Manual ofTests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 32.5.2. ASTM D 4206 standards are identical to the UN Manual standards; it is thus
considered to be a suitable test for combustibility. For the aforementioned reasons, Cerakote H-Series Part A is not considered regulated for purposes of transportation.

14.6.1 Remarks
p-Chlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF) will preferentially partition to the atmosphere, due to its high volatility. It has been estimated that 99.93% of a 100 Kg spill would end up in the atmosphere, while only 0.06% would partition to water (M. Garlanda,
1990). The aqueous solubility of PCBTF (29.1 mg/L) would also tend to limit its potential impact to exposed aquatic systems.
PCBTF has exhibited significant toxicity to aquatic species under laboratory conditions, but is unlikely to exhibit a similar degree of acute toxicity under environmental conditions due to the aforementioned solubility and volatility issues. The moderate level of bioaccumulation measured in laboratory tests will also be subject to environmental mitigation due to PCBTF's
physical/chemical properties. PCBTF should rapidly volatilize from dry and moist soils. Volatility, and relative environmental partitioning characteristics, make it unlikely that PCBTF represents a significant threat to aquatic or terrestrial environments.
