Pentaerythritol: 5–20%
Binder (Acrylic/Alkyd): 10–30%
Titanium dioxide (Pigment): 5–20%
Additives (rheology, dispersants): 1–10%
Water or Solvent (Xylene, Butyl acetate): Balance
Trace Impurities: Less than 1% of total weight, includes various fillers or defoamers
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep comfortable, get medical attention if breathing remains difficult
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek help if skin irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses, consult a doctor if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with clean water, avoid inducing vomiting, seek immediate medical care
Self-Protection for First Aid: Use gloves and avoid inhaling vapors at scene
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Avoid water jets that may spread burning material
Specific Hazards: In a fire, coating can release toxic gases like oxides of carbon, ammonia, and phosphorus
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and protective gear
Special Procedures: Remove anyone from vicinity, cool containers with water mist, avoid run-off entering drains
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, avoid breathing vapors
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spills from entering drains and waterways, contain with sand or soil
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spill with inert material, collect in sealable container for disposal, clean residue with detergent and water
Further Actions: Ventilate affected area fully once spill has been cleaned up
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, keep containers sealed when not in use, avoid skin and eye contact, do not eat or drink while working
Storage Conditions: Store in original containers at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C, away from direct sunlight, sources of ignition, and incompatible materials
Incompatible Products: Oxidizers, strong acids, alkalis
Safe Transfer Advice: Ground and bond containers for flammable versions, keep away from static discharge points
Exposure Limits: Ammonium polyphosphate, melamine, and pentaerythritol generally have no established occupational exposure limits; solvents in solvent-based versions may have TLVs (e.g., Xylene TWA 100 ppm)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, proper airflow in application areas
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, safety goggles, long sleeves, face shield if splashing risk, organic vapor respirator where ventilation is inadequate
Hygiene Measures: Always wash hands before breaks and after use, change contaminated clothing promptly
Appearance: Opaque viscous liquid, varies in color based on formulation
Odor: Mild, can carry solvent smell if solvent-based
Odor Threshold: Not defined
pH: Typically 6.5-8.5 (water-based)
Melting/Freezing Point: Not applicable for mixture
Boiling Point: >100°C for water-based types, lower for solvent-based
Flash Point: >60°C (solvent-based)
Evaporation Rate: Slower than ethyl ether
Flammability: Non-flammable when water-based, flammable for solvent types
Vapor Pressure: Low (water-based); higher (solvent-based)
Specific Gravity: About 1.3–1.5
Solubility: Dispersible in water or specific solvents
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not available
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not readily available
Decomposition Temperature: Begins to decompose at >200°C
Viscosity: 80–120 KU (Krebs Units) or as specified by manufacturer
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and use conditions
Reactivity: No hazardous reactions under normal use
Hazardous Polymerization: Does not occur
Conditions to Avoid: High heat, sparks, open flames, freezing for water-based types
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Releases carbon oxides, ammonia, and small amounts of phosphorus oxides during burning or heating
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin, and eye contact
Acute Effects: Skin irritation, eye irritation, respiratory irritation from vapors, headaches and nausea possible after inhaling high vapor levels
Chronic Effects: Prolonged exposure or repeated skin contact can cause dermatitis, some risk of respiratory sensitization for sensitive users
Ingestion: Unlikely but harmful, can irritate mouth, throat, and stomach
Toxicity Data: Data for main ingredients (melamine LD50 rat oral: 3161 mg/kg)
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Sensitization: Some persons may develop mild or moderate skin sensitivity after repeated exposure
Environmental Impact: Product should not enter drains or waterways due to risk of long-term effects on aquatic life
Persistence and Degradability: Ingredients typically not rapidly biodegradable
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate significantly
Mobility in Soil: Coating binds to soil particles and does not migrate quickly
Toxicity to Aquatic Life: High concentrations may be harmful to freshwater and marine organisms
Other Adverse Effects: May cause foaming or discoloration in water systems if released in significant volume
Disposal Methods: Dispose of leftover product according to local, state, and federal regulations, do not pour into drains or sewers
Container Disposal: Empty drums or buckets should be thoroughly cleaned, large residues need special handling
Special Considerations: Incineration permitted for dried or set material, avoid landfill with liquid residues
Hazardous Waste Code: Consult local environmental regulators for classification if unsure
Recycling: Containers can sometimes be recycled after cleaning, check with local facilities
UN Number: For water-based, not regulated; for flammable solvent-based, possible UN 1263 (paint, flammable)
Proper Shipping Name: Paint or related material
