| Exposure Route | Recommended Control | |----------------|----------------------| | Inhalation | Use organic vapor respirator (e.g., NIOSH approved R95 or P95) in confined spaces. | | Skin | Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or butyl rubber). | | Eyes | Safety goggles or face shield. | | Engineering | Local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne levels below TLV (e.g., 50–100 ppm for xylene). |
The Asmaco Spray Paint MSDS typically lists the following hazard classifications under GHS:
| Hazard Class | Description | |--------------|-------------| | Flammable Aerosol – Category 1 | Extremely flammable. Pressurized container may burst if heated. | | Gas under pressure | Contains compressed gas (propane, butane, or DME). | | Skin irritation – Category 2 | Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis. | | Eye irritation – Category 2A | Direct spray can cause redness and tearing. | | Specific target organ toxicity (single exposure) – Category 3 | May cause drowsiness or dizziness if inhaled. | | Aspiration hazard | If swallowed or vomited, paint can enter lungs and cause chemical pneumonia. |
GHS pictograms you will see:
Example wording from an actual Asmaco MSDS: “H222 – Extremely flammable aerosol. H229 – Pressurized container: may burst if heated.”
Handling:
Storage:
Asmaco does not always disclose proprietary ingredient percentages, but an MSDS lists the hazardous substances above regulatory cutoff limits.
Always use an MSDS dated within the last 3 years. Older versions may be obsolete.
