SONOLASTIC NP1 CARB SPECIAL BRONZE 300ML

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency overview DANGER: COMBUSTIBLE. HARMFUL IF INHALED. RISK OF SERIOUS DAMAGE TO EYES. CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION. SENSITIZATION CAN OCCUR IN SOME INDIVIDUALS, LEADING TO ASTHMA-LIKE SPASMS OF THE BRONCHIAL TUBES AND DIFFICULTY BREATHING. INDIVIDUALS WITH A HISTORY OF RESPIRATORY ILLNESS, ASTHMATIC CONDITIONS, EYE DAMAGE OR TDI SENSITIZATION SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO THIS PRODUCT. TDI IS INCLUDED IN THE NTP ANNUAL REPORT ON CARCINOGENS. RESULTS FROM A TDI HEALTH STUDY INDICATE THAT OVEREXPOSURE TO A RESPIRATORY IRRITANT, RESULTING IN LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT SYMPTOMS COULD INCREASE THE RISKS OF DEVELOPING ASTHMA-LIKE REACTIONS FROM SUBSEQUENT TDI EXPOSURE. REPORTS HAVE ASSOCIATED REPEATED AND PROLONGED OCCUPATIONAL OVEREXPOSURE TO SOLVENTS WITH PERMANENT BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE. CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH CAN CAUSE CANCER. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Keep container tightly closed and dry. No exposure to respirable Crystalline (quartz) Silica anticipated with recommended use of product. State of matter: solid Colour: pigmented Odour: mild

Principle Routes of Exposure

Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquified gases. Irritation / corrosion: May cause severe irritation to eyes. Irritating to respiratory system and skin. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in dermatitis. Sensitization: Sensitization after skin contact possible. The substance may cause sensitization of the respiratory tract. Chronic toxicity: Carcinogenicity: This product contains crystalline silica (quartz). IARC has determined that there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in both humans and experimental animals for inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite. Repeated dose toxicity: Overexposure may cause CNS depression including headache, dizziness, nausea and loss of consciousness.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

overexposure Medical supervision of all employees who handle or come into contact with isocyanates is recommended. The isocyanate component is a respiratory sensitizer. It may cause allergic reaction leading to asthma-like spasms of the bronchial tubes and difficulty in breathing. Preemployment and periodic medical examinations with respiratory function tests (FEV, FVC as a minimum) are suggested. Persons with history of respiratory disease or hypersensitivity should not be exposed to this product. Persons with asthmatic conditions, chronic bronchitis, other chronic respiratory diseases, recurrent eczema or pulmonary sensitization should be excluded from working with isocyanates. Once a person is diagnosed as having pulmonary sensitization (allergic asthma) to isocyanates, further exposure is not recommended. Signs and symptoms of overexposure: In sensitized individuals, sensitization reactions may be elicited by structurally similar substances. Respiratory sensitization may result in allergic (asthma-like) signs in the lower respiratory tract including wheezing, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, the onset of which may be delayed. Repeated inhalation of high concentrations may cause lung damage, including reduced lung function, which may be permanent. Substances eliciting lower respiratory tract irritation may worsen the asthma-like reactions that may be produced by product exposures.
