1.2 Relevant Identified uses of the substance or mixture and uses advised against

Identified uses: A full synthetic polymer paint sealant. A pad-applied, buff-off durable base layer designed for application 1–2 times per year, providing long-lasting UV protection and hydrophobic water beading. Can be used as a stand-alone sealant or as a base layer underneath CAR GUYS Hybrid Wax. Compatible with hand application and machine application (orbital polisher with foam finishing pad). Safe on paint (all coated/clear-coated finishes including coated matte, satin, and denim), glass, windows, rims, chrome, metals, aluminum, glossy/painted plastic parts in good condition (headlights, taillights), clear bra/PPF (all brands), fiberglass, carbon fiber, ceramic coatings, and single-stage paint. Also safe for boats, RVs, motorcycles, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops.

Uses advised against: Do not apply to raw/unfinished plastic, raw/unfinished rubber, decals, uncoated matte finishes, window trim, unfinished bumpers, fabric, or upholstery (may leave white residue or cause discoloration). Do not apply over existing wax, sealant, or polish without stripping first (the only exception is ceramic coating).

Section 4. First Aid Information

4.1 If inhaled

If affected, remove individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Keep person warm, calm, and get medical attention.

4.2 In case of skin contact

Flush exposed area with water. Remove all contaminated clothing. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause moderate irritation.

4.3 In case of eye contact

Flood with large amounts water at least 20 min.; get immediate medical attention if irritation persists. Can cause irritation, redness, tearing, and blurred vision.

4.4 If swallowed

If swallowed, induce vomiting. Vomiting can be induced with syrup of Ipecac. Give fluids until the vomitus is clear. Get medical attention.


Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures

5.1 Flash Point

200°F

5.2 Autoignition Temperature

Not determined

5.3 Flammability Limits in Air

Not determined

5.4 Extinguishing media

Carbon dioxide (CO2) water spray. Dry chemical foam can be used to cool fire-exposed containers.

5.5 Fire Fighting Procedure

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures

6.1 Containment/Clean Up

Sections 13 and 15 of this MSDS provide information regarding certain Federal and local requirements. Collect for disposal. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbent. For large spills provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container. Clean area as appropriate as some silicone material, even in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning may require steam, solvents or detergents. Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8 of this MSDS. Observe all Federal and government regulations that may apply to the cleanup of this material.
