Principle Routes of Exposure

Ingestion Inhalation Eye contact Skin contact Effects of Overexposure Inhalation Harmful by inhalation. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations can cause CNS-depression and narcosis. Skin Prolonged skin contact may defat the skin and produce dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause skin irritation and redness. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause allergic reactions with susceptible persons. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Eyes Can cause moderate to severe irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision. Ingestion Irritating to mouth, throat and stomach. Intake can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting. Chronic exposure This product contains solvents. Reports associate repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Reports also indicate that solvents cause liver damage, kidney damage, and mucous membrane irritation. Be warned that intentional misuse by deliberately inhaling the vapors and/or the product contents (a process often called "sniffing") can be harmful or fatal. Existing respiratory or skin ailments may be aggravated by exposure. This product may contain a small amount (<0.1%) of toluene diisocyanate. NIOSH, NTP and IARC list toluene diisocyanate as a suspected carcinogen. Note also that prolonged repeated exposure to isocyanates can lead to skin sensitization. For persons so sensitized even brief exposures to an isocyanate can produce reddening, swelling, rash, or blisters. Similarly, prolonged and repeated exposure to isocyanates can lead to respiratory sensitization. In such individuals, brief exposures to isocyanates at levels well below established exposure limits can produce chemical asthma and nonspecific asthmatic conditions.
