SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
Harmful if swallowed.
Harmful if inhaled.
Causes eye irritation.
Causes skin irritation.
Vapors irritating to eyes and respiratory tract.
Extremely flammable liquid and vapor.
Vapors may cause flash fire or explosion.
Extremely flammable aerosol.
Contents under pressure.
EYE:
May cause eye burns.
SKIN:
May cause skin irritation.
Prolonged contact with the skin can cause chemical burns.
Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis.
INHALATION:
Exposure to high concentrations of vapors may cause dizziness, breathing
difficulty, headaches or respiratory irritation.
Extremely high concentrations may cause drowsiness, staggering,
confusion, unconsciousness, coma or death.
Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory
irritation.
Liquid or vapor may be irritating to skin, eyes, throat or lungs.
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the
contents of this product can be harmful or fatal.
Respiratory symptoms associated with pre-existing lung disorders may be
aggravated by exposure to material(s) is this product.
INGESTION:
Moderately toxic. May cause stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, and narcosis.
Aspiration of material into the lungs if swallowed or if vomiting occurs
can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.
May cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
Chronic overexposure to a component or components in this material has
been found to cause the following effects in laboratory animals:
Kidney damage
Eye damage
Blood damage
Lung damage
Liver damage
Spleen damage
Anemia
Brain damage
Reproductive system damage
Chronic overexposure to a component or components is this product has
been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans:
Liver damage
Cardiac abnormalities
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents
with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Repeated breathing or skin contact of methyl ethyl ketone may increase
the potency of neurotoxins such as hexane if exposures occur at the same
time.
Central nervous system depression, shock, coma, visual disturbances, and
death. Onset of symptoms may be delayed as long as 30 hours.
Rats exposed to titanium dioxide dust at 250 mg/m3 developed lung cancer,
however, such exposure levels are not attainable in the workplace with
this material.
2-Butoxyethanol causes harm to the fetus in laboratory animal studies.
Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the pregnant
animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain.
There is evidence that repeated long-term exposure to vapor
concentrations greater than 50 ppm of n-butyl alcohol may result in some
hearing loss.
Product contains toluene which may be harmful to the fetus based on
animal studies.
Repeated exposure to toluene has been associated with high frequency
hearing loss in laboratory animals. The human consequences of this
finding is uncertain.
In April 1996, The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
published Monograph 65 which reclassifies Carbon Black into Group 2B
(possibly carcinogenic to humans).
In February 2000 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
classified ethylbenzene as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) on
the basis of sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental
animals but inadequate evidence for cancer in humans.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EYE CONTACT:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention, if
irritation persists.
Flush with large quantities of water for 15 minutes.
SKIN CONTACT:
Wash thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical attention if
irritation persists. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contaminated
clothing before reuse.
INHALATION:
For inhalation overexposure move person to fresh air. If breathing
stops, apply artificial respiration and seek medical attention.
INGESTION:
Since this product may contain materials which can cause lung damage if
aspirated into the lungs, the decision whether to induce vomiting or not
must be made by a physician after careful consideration of all materials
ingested.
Ingestion of large quantities of this material will result in methanol
poisoning. In this case treatment should include hemodialysis; the
administration of ethanol to interfere with the metabolism of methanol
and the administration of sodium carbonate to correct acidosis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE PROPERTIES OF THE PRODUCT:
Flashpoint . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Less Than -25 øF
Explosion Level . . . . . . . . . . . : Low (LEL) - 1.0
High (UEL)- 13.1
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Use Dry Chemical, Carbon Dioxide or Chemical Foam.
FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT:
Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, sparks, and open
flame. Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat.
Contents under pressure. Do not use or store near sources of heat,
sparks or open flame. Keep away from any source of heat such as
sunlight, heaters or stoves that could cause the container to burst.
Do not puncture or incinerate. Do not crush or place in a garbage
compactor. Do not store above 120 degrees F. Aerosol containers may
explode when exposed to extreme heat.
Product vapors are heavier than air and may travel a long distance to a
source of ignition and flash back.
Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus to
avoid inhalation of vapors should be used.
Water spray should not be used except to keep down vapors or cool closed
containers to prevent build-up of pressure. If water is used, fog
nozzles are preferred.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLEAN-UP AND CONTAINMENT:
Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid heat, sparks, flames and anything
which could cause fire.
Ventilate area of spill and adjacent low lying areas. Avoid breathing
solvent vapors. Remove with inert absorbent materials and non-sparking
tools.
Use water spray to disperse vapors. Minimize breathing gases, vapor,
fumes or decomposition products. Use self-contained breathing apparatus
with full face piece operated in positive pressure mode as needed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
