1 Hi-Temp Thinner #6 Version 1.0 Effective Date 08/22/2008 According to EC directive 2001/58/EC Material Safety Data Sheet 1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUBSTANCE/PREPARATION AND COMPANY/UNDERTAKING Material Name: Hi-Temp Thinner #6 Uses: High Temperature Paint Thinner Product Code: #6 Thinner Supplier: Hi-Temp Coatings Technology, Inc. 629 Massachusetts Avenue Boxborough, MA U.S.A. Telephone Information: Fax Information: Information: Emergency Telephone Number: Other Information Hi-Temp is a trade-name owned by Hi-Temp Coatings Technology Inc. 2. COMPSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Hazardous Components Chemical Name CAS# EINECS# %. Symbol(s) Classification Hi Flash Naphtha Xn, Xi, N R10, R20, R37 R51/53 R65 R66 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION May form carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and various organic compounds. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or may be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights or other sources of ignition, such as flame, sparks, and static discharge. Never use welding or cutting torch near filled or empty drums because product and product residue can ignite explosively. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. HI-TEMP COATINGS TECHNOLOGY P.O. Box 2347 Acton, MA Tel: Fax: hitemp@hitempcoatings.com

2 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation - If overcome by vapor, remove to an area free from risk of further exposure. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen or artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep person warm and quiet and get medical attention Skin Contact - Promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation occurs get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly before reuse. Eye Contact - Flush thoroughly with running water for 15 minutes, including under eyelids. Get medical attention. Ingestion If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce vomiting at the instructions of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel. Hazardous Combustion Products: May form carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and various organic compounds. Extinguishing Media Regular foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical. Water may be ineffective, but may be used to cool exposed containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible auto-ignition or explosion when exposed to extreme heat. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media - USE WATER WITH CAUTION. Material will float and may ignite on surface of water. Specific Gravity < 1. Protective Equipment for Firefighters - Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment. Additional Advice During emergency conditions, overexposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Before attempting clean-up, refer to hazard and caution information in other sections of this sheet. Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Large spills: notify safety personnel. Eliminate potential sources of ignition. Wear appropriate respiration and protective clothing. Soak up with absorbent materials. Place in non-leaking containers and seal tightly for proper disposal. Ventilate confined spaces. Open all doors and windows. Minimize skin contact. Keep product out of sewers and water courses by forming a dike and impounding. Observe precautions for flammable volatile vapors from absorbed material. Small spills: Take up with absorbent material and place in non-leaking containers for proper disposal. Waste disposal method: Assure conformity with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Product: Hi-Temp Thinner #6 2 of 6

3 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Personal Precautionary Measures: Avoid breathing high vapor concentrations. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Prevention of Firm and Explosion: Keep away from heat and flame. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Storage: Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Additional Information Handling and storage conditions must be suitable for flammable liquids. Store in cool, well ventilated, fire resistant storage area. Protect containers against physical damage. Keep away from heat, flame and strong oxidizing agents. Do not store above C. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep containers closed when not in use. Bond and ground containers of this material when pouring to avoid static sparks which creates a fire hazard. Ensure that all local regulations regarding handling and storage facilities are followed. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Chemical Name CAS# EINECS# Exposure Level Naphtha TWA: 125 mg/m 3 TWA: 25 ppm 8 hours Exposure Controls - depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls based on a risk assessment of local circumstances. Appropriate measures include: use sealed systems as far as possible. Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended. Firewater monitors and deluge systems are recommended as well as eye washes and showers. Personal Protective Equipment - Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers. Respiratory Protection Use NIOSH approved respirators as required to prevent overexposure. Example: 3M Series 7000 or equivalent with an organic vapor cartridge. In confined spaces observe regulations. Refer to OSHA 29 CFR , Respiratory Protection. Eye Protection - Chemical splash goggles (chemical mono-goggles) or face shield to prevent eye contact. Protective Clothing - For operations where prolonged or repeated skin contact may occur chemical resistant gloves should be worn. Example: Neoprene or Nitrile. Monitoring Methods - Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing zone of workers or in the general workplace may be required to confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also be appropriate. Examples of sources of recommended air monitoring methods are given below or contact supplier. Further national methods may be available. National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), USA: Manual of analytical Methods Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), USA.
