SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Potential health effects

As a part of the hazard assessment process, an industrial hygiene study was conducted to monitor the potential exposure to the off-gases from this product during normal use. Conclusions from the results of these studies indicate that exposure levels during press lamination using adequate ventilation were well below regulated limits (e.g. an order of magnitude below the exposure limit). Tests run for nuisance dust levels also indicated exposure levels well below regulated limits. As a result of this test data, the potential exposure to the vapors and dusts of this product is minimal. Inhalation Inhalation may cause irritation of the upper respiratory passages, with sneezing, coughing and discomfort; or temporary lung irritation effects with cough, discomfort, difficulty breathing, or shortness of breath. Inhalation, ingestion or skin contact may cause temporary mild depression of the central nervous system with dizziness, confusion, incoordination or drowsiness followed by an asymptomatic period usually ranging from 12 to 24 hours. There are reports that suggest headache, hearing loss and vertigo (dizziness) in workers exposed to less than 110 ppm of 1-Butanol. Eyes Eye contact with high concentrations of vapors may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing or blurring of vision. Skin Skin contact may cause redness of the skin and dermatitis with itching or rash. Evidence from animal testing on some vapor components suggests that skin permeation can occur in amounts capable of producing the effects of systemic toxicity. Carcinogenicity Information None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by
