EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
TREATMENT FOR EYE CONTACT: Flush with water for 15 minutes while holding the eyelids open. Get medical attention immediately.
TREATMENT FOR SKIN CONTACT: Flush with water while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Follow by washing with soap and water. Do not reuse clothing or shoes until cleaned. If irritation persists seek medical attention immediately.
TREATMENT FOR INHALATION (BREATHING): Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult or labored. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Seek medical attention immediately.
TREATMENT FOR INGESTION (SWALLOWING): DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING if victim is unconscious or very drowsy. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs. Seek medical attention immediately.
Section VI: Procedures for Safe Handling and Use:
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
LARGE SPILLS: Evacuate the hazard area of unprotected personnel. Wear appropriate clothing and respirator. Shut off source of leak only if safe to do so. Dike and contain. if vapor cloud forms, water for may be used to suppress contain run-off. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage salvge vessels. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material. Place in non-leaking approved containers for proper disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace residue. Dispose of flush solutions as above.
SMALL SPILLS: Soak up with absorbent material and place in non-leaking approved containers, seal tightly and dispose of according to Federal, state and /or local guidelines.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Waste may be burned in a permitted incinerator or disposed of in accordance with all Federal, state and local regulations.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: keep away from heat, sparks and open flames. Store in a cool, dry ventilated location away from incompatible materials.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Containers, even those that have been emptied will retain product residue and vapors. Always obey hazard warnings and handle empty containers as if they were full.

4.1.2. Sandblast with Dupont Starblast XL, Dupont Starblast, Dupont Biasill, #120 mesh aluminum oxide or #120 mesh nevada dry sand at approximately 60 PSI unless otherwise specified.
4.2. APPLICATION: Hang parts from wires. Heat parts to be coated to approximately 1250 F, apply TR Gun Kote in light fog passes using an airbrush or touch-up spray gun from as many different angles or directions as possible to obtain the desired color and thickness on all surfaces. Allow the coating to become tack free between each pass. If parts become cool during application rewarm to 1250 F before continuing. If spray application is not feasible, brush or dip application is permissible, but results could be less than desirable. Coating thickness should be .0005" to .001" after baking and curing. Parts should be handled as little as possible and then only with clean lint free gloves or by wires.

NOTE: BAKE TIME STARTS WHEN PARTS HAVE REACHED THE RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE LEVEL.
4.4. COATING REMOVAL: TR Gun Kote may be removed before it has been cured by soaking the part in alcohol or acetone solvent and wiping it clean. After baking and curing, the coating may be removed by vapor or sandblasting.
5. PACKAGING: TR Gun Kote is packaged and ready for use in quarts, gallons and 55 gallon steel drums.
