====================  SECTION VI  -  HEALTH HAZARD DATA  =======================

 

INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Effects vary among individuals

and may include nausea and irritation of the nose, throat, and upper respiratory

tract. Effects vary among individuals, and effects may be increased by heating 

this material.                                                                  

 

SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Eye contact may

cause irritation, redness, and tearing.  Skin contact may result in irritation,

redness, dermatitis, or allergic reaction.  May cause sensitization in         

individuals allergic to the poison ivy family of plants.  This material is non-

toxic dermally, with LD50 > 2g/kg.                                             

 

INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: The oral toxicity of this

material has not been determined, ingestion of large amounts may cause         

gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea.                   

 

HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC): Breathing high concentrations of aerosols or

mists of this material may cause temporary irritation of the eyes, nose, throat,

respiratory tract, and skin.  May produce allergic reactions in individuals    

allergic to the poison ivy family of plants (Rhus family).  This product is a  

mild sensitizer, repeated or prolonged overexposure to the skin may result in  

irritation or dermatitis.  NOTE: This product contains trace amounts of        

formaldehyde and epichlorohydrin (CAS 106-89-8, ACGIH TLV=2ppm skin, OSHA      

PEL=5ppm) which have caused cancer in laboratory animals, but are not confirmed

human carcinogens.                                                             

 

 

CARCINOGENICITY:  NTP: No   IARC MONOGRAPHS: Yes  OSHA REGULATED: No

 

CHRONIC EFFECTS OF ETHYLBENZENE OVEREXPOSURE

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated           

ethylbenzene (a component of xylol) and classified it as a possible human      

carcinogen (Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in      

experimental animals, but inadequate evidence for cancer in exposed humans.    

 

 

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Allergic skin conditions,

eczema, dermatitis.  Respiratory symptoms associated with preexisting lung     

disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this material.                       

 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: INHALATION OVEREXPOSURE: Remove person to

fresh air, If breathing stops, apply artificial respiration and seek immediate 

medical attention.  NOTE: Use supplied-air respirator for rescue in enclosed    

areas.  EYE CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of tepid water for at least 15   

minutes, get medical attention.  INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting, if aspirated

material can cause chemical pneumonitis or pulmonary edema.  Drink 2 glasses of

milk or water to dilute and contact physician or poison center.  SKIN: Wash with

soap and water, avoid repeated contact.

===========  SECTION VII  -  PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE  ============

 

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Dike to prevent entry

into sewers or surface waters.  Recover free liquid by shoveling into container,

or add absorbent such as sand or earth to spill and sweep up.  Provide         

ventilation, wear a respirator.  Notify proper authorities if spill contaminates

land or waterways.                                                             

 

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of in chemical landfill or incinerate assuring

conformity to all applicable local, state, and federal governing regulations.  

 

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Do not expose to direct sun or

freezing temperatures, store inside away from extreme temperature variations.  

Protect containers from physical damage.  Keep containers tightly closed when  

not in use.  Do not inhale aerosols or mists, use with adequate ventilation and

wear a respirator.  Do not store with food or animal feed.                     

 

OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Do not cut, weld, grind, drill, solder, or braze on or near

containers whether full or empty.  Do not reuse containers without professional

reconditioning and testing.  Do not remove warning labels from containers.     

 

=====================  SECTION VIII  -  CONTROL MEASURES  ======================

 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Spraying this product in poorly ventilated areas may

require the use of a respirator.  Use Mine Safety Appliance respirator #448849 

with mist filter (or equivalent) if air monitoring demonstrates that the       

concentration of listed hazardous materials carried by aerosols exceeds        

recommended TLV's.                                                             

 

VENTILATION: Use good general mechanical ventilation and local exhaust adequate

to reduce the concentration of aerosols or mists carrying listed hazardous     

materials to below the Threshold Limit Value(s).                               

 

PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Use of gloves is recommended, use chemically resistant type.

 

EYE PROTECTION: Use is recommended, use splash goggles or full face shields as

necessary.                                                                     

 

OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Use impervious apron or coveralls to prevent

contaminating street clothes which may result in prolonged exposure.  The use of

head caps or helmets is recommended.                                           

 

WORK AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Eye washes and safety showers in the workplace are

recommended.  Practice good industrial hygiene when using this product:  After 

using this product, do not smoke or eat until washing thoroughly.  Remove      

saturated clothing or shoes at once and launder before reuse.
