Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
BaseCoat SDS section 2 classifies H319 (serious eye irritation, Cat 2) at the mixture level under a DANGER signal word. The category rubric's textbook triggers (situational = H319 with no DANGER; recommended = H319 with DANGER driven by a health H-code) do not squarely address a DANGER driven purely by a physical code (H222) with H319 also present; resolved to recommended per the full-cautious default (more protective tier when the table is ambiguous) and because the aerosol spray format elevates splash/mist eye exposure vs. a wipe-on liquid. BaseCoat SDS section 8 specifies 'Safety glasses [EN 166]'; GlossCoat SDS section 8 specifies 'Wear eye protection.'

Only when: when spraying
Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
No H315/H317/H314 in either component's section 2 (BaseCoat section 8 explicitly states 'Hand protection Not required in normal cases'), but GlossCoat SDS section 8 names hand protection ('Wear protective gloves. Confirm with a reputable supplier first.') as boilerplate · an SDS-named category, even boilerplate, sets the floor at situational rather than omission for the kit as a whole.

Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 2
No H334 and no H335 at section 2 in either component. BaseCoat SDS section 2 classifies H336 (may cause drowsiness or dizziness, solvent-vapor narcosis); section 7 directs 'Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace' and outdoor/well-ventilated guidance, translating to situational for enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.

TL;DR This is genuinely two aerosol cans, not one bottle: a DANGER-rated BaseCoat with a highly flammable, high-alcohol carrier and eye irritation and drowsiness risk from the spray itself, paired with a milder WARNING-rated GlossCoat. Wear safety glasses and spray in a well-ventilated space, away from any flame or spark. Owners say it meets its own conservative one-year durability claim, though the hydrophobic beading fades by six to nine months while gloss and marring resistance hold up better.
CC36 is a two-stage aerosol system: spray on the BaseCoat, flash for about thirty seconds and wipe off, let the panel cure roughly thirty minutes, then spray and wipe the GlossCoat the same way. Everything needed is in the box, including two marked sponge applicators, a microfiber cloth, and a glove, and reviewers describe the process as approachable for a first-time buyer with no high-spot trouble reported. Gloss and marring resistance hold up well through the coating's roughly one-year life, but the hydrophobic beading that makes water sheet off is visibly fading by six to nine months, short of what the "CC36" name suggests without the separately sold Polymer Net Shield top-up every six months.
Best fit for first-time ceramic coating buyers who want a complete, beginner-friendly kit with strong gloss and better-than-expected marring resistance, without a steep application learning curve. Skip it if you're chasing multi-year durability or class-leading hydrophobics; reviewers who have tried other coatings consistently describe CC36 as middle-of-the-pack, better suited to owners who plan to reapply within a year than to those who want a coat-and-forget multi-year seal.
The BaseCoat can carries a DANGER signal word because its carrier is extremely flammable, and the SDS also lists serious eye irritation plus drowsiness or dizziness from vapor buildup, so wear safety glasses and spray outdoors or with the garage door open, away from any pilot light or spark. The GlossCoat can is a milder WARNING, driven only by its own pressurized-container hazard, and gloves are not called for in normal BaseCoat use. Environmentally, the VOC content lands in the high bracket for an aerosol solvent carrier, and one BaseCoat ingredient is independently classified as toxic to aquatic life, so leftover overspray and used applicators belong in the trash, not down a drain. No PFAS is disclosed in either component's SDS.
Yes. The Amazon listing reads like a single 75 ml bottle, but the box contains two separate aerosol cans with different formulas: a BaseCoat that lays down the ceramic film, and a GlossCoat that follows it. The two cans also carry different SDS hazard classifications. The BaseCoat is DANGER-rated for its highly flammable, high-alcohol carrier, while the GlossCoat is a milder WARNING-rated, water-based aerosol, so the safety picture for this kit reflects both cans, not one formula.
The BaseCoat SDS classifies the product as an extremely flammable aerosol under a DANGER signal word and notes the vapor can cause drowsiness or dizziness if it builds up, and it directs good ventilation at the point of use plus keeping ignition sources away. Spraying with the garage door open or working outdoors follows that classification directly. A sealed, unventilated space with a pilot light or spark source nearby is exactly the scenario the SDS is warning about.
Independent long-term reviews find CC36 essentially meets its own conservative up-to-one-year durability claim, but the pieces of that protection fade at different rates. The hydrophobic beading that makes water sheet off is noticeably weaker by six to nine months, while gloss and marring resistance hold up comparatively well through the same window. Reviewers who have tried other ceramic coatings tend to describe CC36 as an entry-level, roughly one-year product rather than a multi-year seal.
SDS Section 8 for the BaseCoat names safety glasses, and the same document separately states hand protection is not required in normal use; the GlossCoat SDS lists gloves as a standard precaution instead. Because this is two aerosol cans rather than a wipe-on liquid, eye protection is the piece of gear most directly tied to the classified hazard, serious eye irritation on the BaseCoat can specifically.
No. The Amazon listing does not carry a Prop 65 warning, and the GlossCoat SDS includes an explicit statement that the product contains no substances known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. The BaseCoat SDS is a European-format document that does not address US Proposition 65 at all, and a cross-check of its named ingredients against the California list found no match, though two proprietary, trade-secret ingredients could not be individually verified.
