SECTION 2: Hazards identification
OSHA Emergency overview Causes eye irritation. May cause irritation. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. May cause respiratory irritation. Do not inhale dusts. Caution - Slippery when wet! Refer to MSDS Section 7 for Dust Explosion information. Combustible organic powder. Avoid creating dusty conditions, dust build-up or formation of dust clouds. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Eye irritant. Caution - Slippery when wet! State of matter: solid Colour: off-white Odour: odourless
Principle Routes of Exposure
Eyes Skin Inhalation. Ingestion. Irritation / corrosion: Irritating to eyes. The statements are based on the properties of the individual components. Sensitization: Based on the ingredients, there is no suspicion of a skin-sensitizing potential. Chronic toxicity: Carcinogenicity: None of the components in this product at concentrations greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC; NTP
Teratogenic Effects
No teratogenic effects reported Genotoxicity: No mutagenic effects reported. Signs and symptoms of overexposure: No significant symptoms are expected due to the non-classification of the product.
Environmental effects
Aquatic toxicity: Fish toxicity and aquatic toxicity are drastically reduced by rapid irreversible adsorption onto suspended and/or dissolved organic matter. Acute effects on aquatic organisms are due to the cationic charge of the polymer, which is quickly neutralised in natural water courses by irreversible adsorption onto particles, hydrolysis and dissolved organic carbon. The hydrolysis products are not acutely harmful to aquatic organisms.
