Polyurethane foam impregnated with amine salts

Potential health effects

EYES: Eye contact with active ingredient in foam (amine salt) will produce irritation. SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause mild skin irritation. INHALATION: Inhalation is not anticipated due to low vapor pressure of the active ingredient. INGESTION: Ingestion is harmful and may be fatal. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal(GI) irritation, change of blood hemoglobin to methemoglobin (methemoglobinemia), and vascular collapse from smooth muscle relaxation of small blood vessels. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: Contact may cause eye irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause mild skin irritation. Methemoglobinemia may occur following ingestion. Methemoglobin cannot carry oxygen as normal blood hemoglobin does. Symptoms of methemoglobinemia may include: headache, tiredness, dizziness, central nervous system(CNS) depression, irregular heartbeat (cardiac arrhythmia) and shock. CHRONIC: No Data CARCINOGENICITY IARC: No NTP: No OSHA: No

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Individuals with anemia, coronary artery disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are more susceptible to the symptoms of methemoglobinemia. TARGET ORGANS: Eyes, skin, blood
