3COBALT COMPOUNDS- Individuals hypersensitive to Cobalt may develop asthma,
bronchitis, or shortness of breath. May cause skin sensitization. WARNING: This productcontains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer.
CHROMIUM- Chromium and some of its compounds are considered carcinogenic, both inanimals and humans. Evidence of Chromium (III) compound carcinogenicity is inconclusive.
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to causecancer.
ETHYL BENZENE- WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State ofCalifornia to cause cancer.
MANGANESE- Overexposure may affect the Central Nervous System and lungs, resulting intransitory psychosis, tiredness, weakness and pneumonitis. May aggravate preexisting neuralgicconditions.
MELAMINE- Acute exposure may cause eye or respiratory irritation. Chronic feeding studies
in male rats resulted in transitional-cell carcinomas.
MICA- Can cause slight lung fibrosis and pneumoconiosis.
NAPTHALENE- NTP reports that lifetime inhalation exposure to naphthalene resulted inincreases in tumors of the nose in rats. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known
to the State of California to cause cancer.
NICKEL, METAL AND COMPOUNDS- IARC and NTP also state there is sufficientevidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals and humans. Ingestion may result indamage to the testes. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State ofCalifornia to cause cancer.
QUINACRIDONES- Overexposure may cause dermatitis. Pigment contains a compound foundto be a skin, eye and respiratory irritant.
TITANIUM DIOXIDE- Listed by IARC under category 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans.
ZINC- Overexposure may result in fever, chills, muscular pain or nausea. WARNING: DO
NOT SPRAY APPLY-This product contains cadmium, a chemical known to the State ofCalifornia to cause cancer.

SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURESEYE CONTACT: Flush with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if any symptomspersist.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash with soap and water. Seek medicalattention if any symptoms persist.
INHALATION: Remove subject to fresh air. Seek medical attention if any symptoms persist.
INGESTION: If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention. If
vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep victims head below hips to prevent vomit from entering
lungs.

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURESFLASH POINT: 41 C / 106 F
METHOD USED: SFCC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME: LOWER: .9% est. UPPER: 6% est.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, water spray, foam or dry chemical
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective clothing. Use water spray to cool containers
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Decomposition and combustion products
may be toxic.

SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Avoid excessive inhalation and skin contact. Eliminate ignition sources. Contain spill. Transfer
material to container for recovery or disposal. Transfer contaminated soil or other material toseparate container for disposal. Keep spills and cleaning runoffs from entering municipal sewers
and open bodies of water.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Maximum storage temperature: 60 C / 140 F. Minimum storage temperature: -18 C / 0 F. Limit
storage of combustible materials to approved areas. Ground all containers when transferring
materials.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTIONRESPIRATORY PROTECTION: For nuisance levels of vapor or inadequate ventilation, anorganic vapor respirator is appropriate. If spraying or sanding, wear a NIOSH approved respirator
for dust, mists and organic vapor
VENTILATION: Explosion proof local exhaust ventilation at the point of release isrecommended.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Nitrile or other solvent resistant gloves.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Safety glasses with splash protection
or goggles

6WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Use safe work practices, including: do not eat, drink or smoke
when working with materials, avoid skin contact, wash after use. Keep from reach of children.

SECTION 9 - PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL PROPERTIESBOILING POINT: 154 C / 309 F (initial)
VAPOR DENSITY: Heavier than air
SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Negligible
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Clear, hazy or colored medium – mineral spirit odor

SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY: Stable
INCOMPATIBILITY: May react with strong oxidizers
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS: Paynes Gray, Ultramarine Blue andUltramarine Violet may react with acids to form flammable and toxic hydrogen sulfide. Acid
decomposition of cadmium pigments may yield hydrogen sulfide, selenide gases and toxic
cadmium salts in solution. If cadmiums are heated to above 800oC, decomposition to toxic fumesof cadmium oxide, zinc oxide, sulfur dioxide and selenium dioxide will occur. Thermal
decomposition may yield oxides of carbon and nitrogen and monomer fumes

SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Oral LD50 - rabbit: >5000 mg/kg
Dermal LD50 - rabbit: 3160 mg/kg
Eye Irritation – rabbit: substantial
Skin Irritation – rabbit: moderate

SECTION 12 – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Not readily biodegradable. No other data available.

SECTION 13 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
It is best to use all material rather than dispose of it. When discarded as supplied, material is ahazardous waste. If necessary, dispose of product in accordance with local regulations for solventbased/ignitable materials. Dried material does not pose hazard of ignition.
Based on EPA TCLP (metals solubility), Cadmium and Cobalt Turquoise pigmented paints shouldbe treated as hazardous wastes.
