Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing vapors or mist. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames. Wear chemical-resistant gloves and protective eyewear. Use outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.
Physical Hazards: Containers may rupture if heated. Spills spread rapidly over surfaces.
Cobalt Tallate: 1–3%, CAS No. 61789-35-9
Naphtha (solvent): 60–80%, CAS No. 64742-95-6

Manganese Neodecanoate: 3–8%, CAS No. 27253-31-2
Auxiliary Additives: 2%, proprietary, non-hazardous
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air straight away. If breathing feels difficult, medical attention is needed. Seek emergency help if symptoms such as confusion, headache, or dizziness linger.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and rinse skin with plenty of water and mild soap for fifteen minutes. Seek treatment for persistent irritation.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with clean water for at least twenty minutes, lifting eyelids if necessary. If irritation does not stop, get medical advice.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly, never induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Seek medical attention if feeling unwell or swallowing a substantial amount.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam. Water spray to cool exposed containers.
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet may spread the fire.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of cobalt, manganese fumes.
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product can form explosive mixtures with air. Stay upwind and evacuate non-essential personnel.
Personal Precautions: Wear nitrile gloves, splash goggles, and flame-resistant clothing. Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate area thoroughly.
Spill Response: Contain spill with inert material such as dry sand or earth. Shovel up and transfer to labeled waste containers. Clean area with detergent and avoid washing into drains.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release to waterways. Notify authorities if product enters storm sewers, natural water, or soil.
Disposal of Cleanup Materials: Dispose of waste and contaminated materials according to local and national legislation.
Handling: Handle only in areas with good airflow. Use spark-proof tools and grounding systems. Keep away from open flames and avoid splashing or aerosol generation.
Storage: Keep containers sealed, upright, and in a dry, cool place below 30°C. Store out of direct sunlight. Segregate from strong oxidizers, acids, or alkalis. Containers should be clearly labeled and checked for leaks or corrosion routinely.
Incompatibilities: Acids, bases, oxidizing agents.
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hoods, localized extraction, or general room ventilation to keep vapor concentration below 10 ppm.
Personal Protection: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, splash-proof chemical goggles, flame-resistant coat, and closed footwear. Respiratory protection (organic vapor cartridge respirator) is needed if ventilation cannot prevent inhalation.
Exposure Limits: Naphtha: OSHA PEL 300 ppm (TWA). Cobalt Tallate: ACGIH TLV 0.02 mg/m³ (as cobalt).
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after use. Do not bring contaminated gloves or clothing into eating zones.

Conditions to Avoid: Heat, open flames, sources of ignition, and contact with incompatible materials.
Hazardous Decomposition: Toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, metal oxides, hydrocarbons may appear during burning or decomposition.
Polymerization: Product does not undergo hazardous polymerization.
Inhalation: Breathing in high concentrations can provoke headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and in rare cases, lung irritation.
Skin Contact: May irritate, drying and reddening sensitive skin.
Eye Contact: Direct contact with liquid fumes can sting and redden eyes.
Ingestion: Swallowing sizable amounts irritates digestive system. Central nervous system depression may follow consuming a lot. Aspiration hazard.
Chronic Effects: Cobalt compounds present may cause allergic reactions or asthma. Long-term repeated exposure could impact liver and kidney.
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (oral, rat) >2000 mg/kg.
