                  SECTION 4 - EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

CALL 1-303-623-5716  COLLECT

Skin:      Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash all exposed areas with
      soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Remove 
      dried cement with Oatey Plumber's Hand Cleaner or baby oil. 

Eyes;      If material gets into eyes or if fumes cause irritation, immediately 
flush   eyes with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical 
attention. 

Inhalation:   If symptoms of exposure develop, remove to fresh air. If breathing 
      becomes difficult, administer oxygen. Administer artificial respiration
      if breathing has stopped. Seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion:   DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Rinse mouth with water. Never give 
      anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious or drowsy. Get
      immediate medical attention by calling a Poison Control Center, or 
      hospital emergency room. If medical advice cannot be obtained, then take
      the person and product to the nearest medical emergency treatment
      center or hospital.
 

                       SECTION 5 -  FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flashpoint / Method: 4 Degrees F. / PMCC
Flammability:      LEL - 1.8 % Volume,  UEL = 11.8 % Volume

Extinguishing   Media:      
      Use dry chemical, CO2, or foam to extinguish fire. Cool fire   
      exposed container with water. Water may be ineffective as an
         extinguishing agent. 

Special Fire Fighting Procedure;      
      Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained
      breathing apparatus and full protective clothing for fires in areas where  
      chemicals are used or stored 

Unusual fire and Explosion Hazards:      
      Extremely flammable liquid. Keep away from heat and all
      sources of ignition including sparks, flames, lighted cigarettes and pilot 
      lights. Containers may rupture or explode
         in the heat of a fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel
         to a remote ignition source and flash back. This product contains
         tetrahydrofuran that may form explosive organic peroxide when 
         exposed to air or light or with age. 

Hazardous Decomposition Products:
      Combustion will produce toxic and irritating vapors including carbon 
      monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride. 


                         6.  ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


Spill or Leak Procedures:      
      Remove all sources of ignition and ventilate area. Stop leak if itcan be 
      done without risk. Personnel cleaning up the spill should
      wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including 
         respirators if vapor concentrations are high. Soak up spill with an
         inert absorbent such as sand, earth or other non-combusting
         material. Put absorbent material in covered, labeled metal 
         containers. Prevent liquid from entering watercourses, sewers
         and natural waterways. Report releases to authorities as required.
         See Section 12 for disposal information. 
 

                        SECTION 7 -  HANDLING AND STORAGE


Handling:      Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing 
         vapors or mists. Use with adequate ventilation (equivalent to outdoors).
         Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the
         work area. Keep product away from heat, sparks, flames and all
         other sources of ignition. No smoking in storage or use areas.
         Keep containers closed when not in use. 

Storage:      Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
         materials. Keep containers closed when not in use. 

Other:         "Empty" containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.

         Tetrahydrofuran: 96 hour LC50 fathead minnow: 2160 mg/L.

VOC         This product emits VOC's (volatile organic compounds) in its 
           use. 

Information:      Make sure that use of this product complies with local VOC
         emission regulations, where they exist.

               SECTION 9  -  EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Ventilation:      Open doors & windows. Provide ventilation capable of 
         maintaining emissions at the point of use below recommended
         exposure limits. If used in enclosed area, use exhaust fans.
         Exhaust fans should be explosion-proof or set up in a way that
         flammable concentrations of solvent vapors are not exposed to
         electrical fixtures or hot surfaces. 

Respiratory   Protection:   
      For operations where the exposure limit may be exceeded, a
        NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator or supplied air
         respirator is recommended. Equipment selection depends on
         contaminant type and concentration, select in accordance
         with 29 CFR 1910.134 and good industrial hygiene practice.
         For firefighting, use self-contained breathing apparatus.

Skin:         Rubber gloves are suitable for normal use of the product. For 

Protection:      
     Long exposures product chemical resistant gloves may be
       reuired such as 4H ™ or Silver Shield ™ to avoid prolonged
       skin contact. 

Eye         Safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles.

                     SECTION 13  -  TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION


Inhalation;      Vapors or mists may cause mucous membrane and respiratory            
      irritation, coughing, headache, dizziness, dullness, nausea, 
         shortness of breath and vomiting. High concentrations may
         cause central nervous system depression, narcosis and
         unconsciousness. 
         May cause kidney, liver and lung damage. 

Skin;         May cause irritation with redness, itching and pain. 

Eye;         Vapors may cause irritation. Direct contact may cause irritation
             with redness, stinging and tearing of the eyes. May cause eye
             damage. 

Ingestion;      Swallowing may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and
         diarrhea. Aspiration during swallowing or vomiting can cause
         chemical pneumonia and lung damage. May cause kidney and 
         liver damage. 

Chronic   Toxicity:   
      Prolonged or repeated overexposure cause dermatitis and damage
        to the kidney, liver, lungs and central nervous system.

Toxicity Data;      Tetrahydrofuran;   Oral rat LD50: 1,650 mg/kg
                  Inhalation rat LC50: 21,000 ppm/ 3 hours

Sensitization:      None of the components are known to cause sensitization. 

Carcinogenicity;   None of the components are listed as a carcinogen or suspect. 
         Carcinogen by NTP, IARC or OSHA. The National Toxicology
         Program has reported that exposure of mice and rats to
         Tetrahydrofuran (THF) vapor levels up to 1800 ppm 6 hr/day,
         5 days/week for their lifetime caused an increased incidence of
         kidney tumors in male rats and liver tumors in female mice.
         The significance of these findings for human health are unclear
         at this time, and may be related to "species specific" effects.
         Elevated incidences of tumors in humans have not been reported
         for THF.

Mutagenicity;      Tetrahydrofuran was positive in a bacterial assay. 

Reproductive Toxicity;         
   Tetrahydrofuran has been found to cause adverse developmental
    effects only when exposure levels cause other toxic effects to the
    mother.

Medical   Conditions Aggravated By Exposure:   
   Persons with pre-existing skin, lung, kidney or liver disorders
    may be a increased risk from exposure to this product.
