FAQ
1. What is the primary use of ALEXSEAL-M0007 Metallic Blender?
The product is intended for industrial serial painting applications as a solvent-based blender within coating systems.
2. Is this product flammable?
Yes. It is classified as a flammable liquid, Category 3 with the hazard statement H226 “Flammable liquid and vapour.” It must be kept away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources.
3. Does ALEXSEAL-M0007 Metallic Blender pose health risks?
According to the Safety Data Sheet it causes serious eye irritation (H319) and may cause drowsiness or dizziness (H336). Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking (EUH066). Avoid inhalation of vapours and prevent direct contact with skin and eyes.
4. How should the product be stored?
Store in tightly closed containers, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat and direct sunlight. The recommended storage temperature is 5–35 °C. Keep away from oxidizing agents and strongly acidic or alkaline materials. Containers that are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
5. Can the product be released into drains or the environment?
No. The product should not be allowed to enter drains or water courses. In case of environmental contamination (lakes, rivers, sewage systems), the appropriate authorities must be informed according to local regulations.
6. How should spills be handled?
Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials such as sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth, and place it in suitable containers for disposal in accordance with local regulations. Clean preferably with a detergent and avoid using solvents.
7. What firefighting measures are recommended?
Suitable extinguishing media are alcohol-resistant foam, CO₂ or powders. A high-volume water jet is not suitable. Fire will produce dense black smoke; exposure to decomposition products may pose health hazards, so appropriate breathing apparatus may be required for firefighters.
8. What is the VOC content of this product?
The VOC content according to Directive 2010/75/EU is approximately 74.25 %, equivalent to 698 g/l VOC (excluding water).
9. What should I do in case of accidental exposure?
- Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air, keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stops, provide artificial respiration and seek medical attention.
- Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or a recognised skin cleanser. Do not use solvents or thinners.
- Eye contact: Remove contact lenses and rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 10 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek medical advice.
- Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Obtain immediate medical attention and never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures
During handling and application of ALEXSEAL-M0007 Metallic Blender, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and technical controls are essential to minimise exposure.
Engineering controls
- Provide adequate ventilation. Preferably use local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction.
- If ventilation is insufficient to keep solvent and aerosol concentrations below occupational exposure limits, suitable respiratory protection must be used.
Eye and face protection
- Wear safety goggles designed to protect against solvent splashes.
Hand protection
- Use chemical-resistant protective gloves tested in compliance with EN 374.
- Recommended materials for short-term contact (splash protection) against typical components:
- Minimum material thickness: > 0.4 mm.
- Breakthrough time: > 480 minutes.
- Before use, always verify glove suitability for the specific workplace (mechanical resistance, product compatibility, antistatic properties) and follow the glove manufacturer’s instructions for use, storage, care and replacement.
- Replace protective gloves immediately if damaged or worn.
- Preventive skin protection (skin protection cream) and prompt washing of contaminated skin are recommended.
Skin and body protection
- Wear antistatic clothing made of natural fibres or high-temperature resistant synthetic fibres.
- All exposed parts of the body should be thoroughly washed after contact with the product.
Respiratory protection
- If exposure levels may exceed occupational exposure limits, use appropriate certified respirators.
- Use at least a half-mask with suitable cartridge or air-fed respiratory equipment.
- Dry grinding, torch cutting and welding on coated surfaces may generate hazardous dusts and vapours; install exhaust hoods where practicable and wear respiratory protection.
- When operators must work inside a spray booth, a compressed air-fed respirator should be worn during spraying until particulate and solvent vapour concentrations are below exposure limits.
General protective and hygiene measures
- Do not eat, drink or smoke during use.
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
- Avoid inhalation of dust from sanding, particulates and spray mist.
