WATER-BASED PAINT PRODUCT

Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

Do not breathe spray. When applying by spray inside, wearing a cartridge mask
of Assigned Protection Factor 40 x OEL for particulates is recommended. This
should be confirmed by your COSHH assessment. Contact your merchant about
masks.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. When painting it is advisable to wear eye
protection. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water
and seek medical advice. Remove splashes from skin: use soap and water or a
recognised skin cleaner.

Keep out of reach of children. Do not use or store by hanging on a hook. Do not
empty into drains or watercourses. Some local authorities have special facilities
for disposing of waste paint.
