Other Hazards:
This product contains component(s) which have the following warnings; however based on the GHS classification
criteria of your country or locale, the product mixture may be outside the respective category(s).
Acute: Vapor harmful; may affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Possible
irritation of the respiratory system can occur causing a variety of symptoms such as dryness of the throat, tightness of
the chest, and shortness of breath. In elevated-temperature applications, product may release vapors that may produce
cyanosis in the absence of sufficient ventilation or adequate respiratory protection. The imide in this product is a
respiratory hazard. Inhalation of product vapors, fumes or particulates during heating should be avoided. May cause
central nervous system depression characterized by the following progressive steps: headache, dizziness, staggering
gait, confusion, unconsciousness or coma.May be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion is not an expected route of entry in
industrial or commercial uses.
Chronic: May affect the gastrointestinal system. Ethylbenzene has been classified by IARC as a possible human
carcinogen (Group 2B) and reported by NTP to show clear evidence for carcinogenicity in animals. IARC has
designated carbon black as Group 2B - inadequate evidence for carcinogenicity in humans, but sufficient evidence in

Page: 2
 Product: CHEMLOK 6108, Effective Date: 02/05/2020

experimental animals. In 2006 IARC reaffirmed its 1995 finding that there is "inadequate evidence" from human
health studies to assess whether carbon black causes cancer in humans. Further, epidemiological evidence from well-
conducted investigations has shown no causative link between carbon black exposure and the risk of malignant or
non-malignant respiratory disease in humans. The nitrogen substituted aromatic in this product gave positive results
for mutagenicity in an Ames Assay study while two other mutagenicity studies proved negative. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact may cause allergic reactions with susceptible persons.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Not determined for this product.

SPECIFIC HAZARDS POSSIBLY ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL: Flammable liquid and vapor. Keep containers
tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks, open flame, and other sources of ignition. Closed containers
may rupture when exposed to extreme heat. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool. WARNING: Due to the
combustible nature of the dried film of this product and the potential for smoldering or fire, the accumulation and buildup of
the dried film on spray booth walls and floors, spindles, fixtures and other surfaces should be avoided, and any buildup
should be removed. Keep the dried film accumulations away from sparks, friction, impact, high heat (>235 F/>112 C) or
other sources of ignition. These conditions could cause the dried film to ignite very readily and quickly, and the resulting
smoldering or fire may be difficult to extinguish. During removal of accumulation/buildup of this product, take precautions
to avoid heat, friction and impact during the cleaning process. Use paint stripper, brass brush, or plastic scraper for cleaning.
In the event of smoldering or a fire involving the dried product, Cold Fire®** fire suppressing agent is preferred as the
extinguishing medium. If Cold Fire® is not available, use water spray as the extinguishing medium. Take efforts to ensure
that these agents reach the base of the smoldering or fire. Lord Corporation will not be responsible for personal injuries,
property damage or any other damages arising from the accumulation (buildup, cleaning/removal or any related smoldering
or fire) resulting from the use of this product. Refer to the Chemlok® Safe Handling Guide for additional information.
**NOTE: LORD Corporation has determined Cold Fire® fire suppressing agent to be effective in extinguishing fires
involving dried Chemlok® adhesives. LORD does not recommend any particular equipment or system for use in delivering
or applying Cold Fire® products. Customer is responsible for determining that Cold Fire® products and any delivery

Page: 3
 Product: CHEMLOK 6108, Effective Date: 02/05/2020

equipment or system is appropriate and effective for customer's specific needs. During a fire, irritating and/or toxic gases and
particulate may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS: Wear full firefighting
protective clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Water spray may be ineffective. If water is
used, fog nozzles are preferable.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
