Information Emergency Overview: DANGER! EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE LUNG INJURY AND ALLERGIC RESPIRATORY REACTION. EFFECTS MAY BE PERMANENT. COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. VAPORS AND SPRAY MIST HARMFUL IF INHALED. MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS SUCH AS DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, OR NAUSEA. MAY CAUSE NOSE, THROAT, EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. CAN BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN.

Potential health effects

Inhalation: Exposure to isocyanates may cause respiratory sensitization. This effect may be permanent. Symptoms include an asthma-like reaction with shortness of breath, wheezing, cough or permanent lung sensitization. This effect may be delayed for several hours after exposure. Repeated overexposure to isocyanates may cause a decrease in lung function, which may be permanent. Individuals with lung or breathing problems or prior reactions to isocyanates must not be exposed to vapors or spray mist of this product. May cause nose and throat irritation. May cause nervous system depression characterized by the following progressive steps: headache, dizziness, nausea, staggering gait, confusion, unconsciousness. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Ingestion: May result in gastrointestinal distress. Skin or eye contact: May cause irritation or burning of the eyes. Repeated or prolonged liquid contact may cause skin irritation with discomfort and dermatitis. Other Potential Health Effects in addition to those listed above: ALIPHATIC POLYISOCYANATE RESIN Overexposure may cause asthma-like reactions with shortness of breath, wheezing, cough, which may be permanent; or permanent lung sensitization. This effect may be delayed for several hours after exposure. The following medical conditions may be aggravated by exposure: asthma skin disorders respiratory disorders Potential skin sensitizer that may cause allergic reactions and contact dermatitis resulting in severe irritation, dryness, and cracking of the skin. BUTYL ACETATE May cause abnormal liver function. The following medical conditions may be aggravated by exposure: respiratory system Tests for embryotoxic activity in animals has been inconclusive. Rats exposed to very high airborne levels have exhibited high 1 frequency hearing deficits. The significance of this to man is 1 VGM-6005 Information Cont'd unknown. Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses that are toxic to the mother. AROMATIC HYDROCARBON The following medical conditions may be aggravated by exposure: skin disorders Laboratory studies with rats have shown that petroleum distillates can cause kidney damage and kidney or liver tumors. These effects were not seen in similar studies with guinea pigs, dogs, or monkeys. Several studies evaluating petroleum workers have not shown a significant increase of kidney damage or an increase in kidney or liver tumors.
