3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Danger! Extremely flammable. Poison. May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Vapor harmful.
Use only with adequate ventilation to prevent buildup of vapors. If the work area is not well ventilated, do not use
this product.

Lacquer Thinner Revision: 04/01/2013
Supercedes Revision: 06/08/2011
Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and all other sources of ignition. Vapors may cause flash fire or ignite
explosively.
Do not use in areas where vapors can accumulate and concentrate such as basements, bathrooms and small,
enclosed areas. Whenever possible use outdoors in an open air area. If using indoors open all windows and doors
and maintain a cross ventilation of
moving fresh air across the work area. If strong odor is noticed or you experience slight dizziness – STOP –
ventilation is inadequate. Leave area immediately.
Potential Health Effects (Acute and Chronic)
Inhalation Acute Exposure Effects:
Vapor harmful. May cause dizziness; headache; watering of eyes; irritation of respiratory tract; weakness;
drowsiness; nausea; numbness in fingers, arms and legs; depression of central nervous system; loss of appetite;
fatigue; hallucinations; light headedness; visual disturbances; giddiness and intoxication; sleepiness; cough and
dyspnea; cold, clammy extremities; diarrhea; vomiting; dilation of pupils; spotted vision. Severe overexposure
may cause convulsions; unconsciousness; coma; and death. Intentional misuse of this product by deliberately
concentrating and inhaling can be harmful or fatal.
Target Organs: Central Nervous System, Liver, Kidney, Heart, Stomach, Respiratory System

Eyes:
Immediately begin to flush eyes with water, remove any contact lens. Continue to flush the eyes for at least 15
minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
immediate medical attention.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention. Call a physician, hospital emergency
room, or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Note to Physician
Poison. This product contains methanol. Methanol is metabolized to formaldehyde and formic acid. These
metabolites may cause metabolic acidosis, visual disturbances and blindness. Since metabolism is required for
these toxic symptoms, their onset may be delayed from 6 to 30 hours following ingestion. Ethanol competes for
the same metabolic pathway and has been used as an antidote. Methanol is effectively removed by hemodialysis.
Call your local poison control center for further information.

Flammability Classification: NFPA Class IB
Flash Pt: -4.0 F Method Used: Setaflash Closed Cup (Rapid Setaflash)
Explosive Limits: LEL: No data. UEL: No data.
Autoignition Pt: No data available.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Self-contained respiratory protection should be provided for fire fighters fighting fires in buildings or confined
areas. Storage containers exposed to fire should be kept cool with water spray to prevent pressure build-up. Stay
away from heads of containers that have been exposed to intense heat or flame.
Flammable Properties and Hazards
No data available.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Extinguishing Media
Use carbon dioxide, dry powder, or foam.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use a solid water stream, as this may spread the fire.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled
Vapors may cause flash fire or ignite explosively.
Clean up: Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind, out of low areas, and
ventilate closed spaces before entering. Shut off ignition sources; keep flares, smoking or flames out of hazard
area. Use non-sparking tools. Use proper bonding and grounding methods for all equipment and processes. Keep
out of waterways and bodies of water. Be cautious of vapors collecting in small enclosed spaces, sewers, low

lying areas, confined spaces, etc.
Small spills: Take up with sand, earth or other noncombustible absorbent material and place in a plastic container
where applicable.
Waste Disposal: Dispose in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations.
Do not use this product near any source of heat or open flame, furnace areas, pilot lights, stoves, etc.
Do not use in small enclosed spaces, such as basements and bathrooms. Vapors can accumulate and explode if
ignited.
Do not spread this product over large surface areas because fire and health safety risks will increase dramatically.
For occasional use, where engineered air control is not feasible, use properly maintained and properly fitted
NIOSH approved respirator for organic solvent vapors. A dust mask does not provide protection against vapors.
Eye Protection
Protect eyes with chemical splash goggles.
Protective Gloves
Wear gloves with as much resistance to the chemical ingredients as possible. Glove materials such as nitrile
rubber may provide protection. Glove selection should be based on chemicals being used and conditions of use.
Consult your glove supplier for additional information. Gloves contaminated with product should be discarded
and not reused.
Other Protective Clothing
Various application methods can dictate use of additional protective safety equipment, such as impermeable
aprons, etc., to minimize exposure.

Bioaccumulative Potential:
Methanol is not expected to bioaccumulate in the environment.
Toluene: Bioaccumulation is low to moderate.
Acetone: Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is also expected based upon the measured Henry's Law constant
of 3.97X10-5 atm-cu m/mol. This compound is expected to biodegrade under aerobic and anaerobic conditions
based upon the results of numerous screening tests. If released into water, acetone is not expected to adsorb to
suspended solids or sediment based upon its estimated Koc value. Methyl ethyl ketone may volatilize from dry
soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure.
Mobility in Soil:
Methanol is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
Toluene is expected to have high to moderate mobility in soil.
Acetone is expected to have very high mobility in soils.
