SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE FROM: * INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. * EYE CONTACT: Causes severe eye irritation. * SKIN CONTACT: May cause slight skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause an allergic skin reaction. *INHALATION: Vapor and/or spray mist may be harmful if inhaled. Vapor irritates eyes, nose, throat. Sanding and grinding dusts may be harmful if inhaled. Repeated exposure to high vapor concentrations may cuase irritation of the respiratory system and permanent brain and nervous system damage. *CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: Avoid long-term and repeated contact. This product contains crystalline silica which has been classified as a human carcinogen by IARC. Long-term exposures may also lead to a disabling lung condition known as silicosis. The risk depends on the duration and level of exposure to dust from sanding surfaces or mist from spray applications. Use of appropriate personal protective equipment and/or engineering controls should be employed whenever these types of operations are being performed. This product either contains formaldehyde or is capable of releasing formaldehyde above 0.5 ppm under certain conditions. Formaldehyde is a potential cancer hazard, a skin sensitizer and a respiratory sensitizer. This product contains titanium dioxide. Animals inhaling massive quantities of titanium dioxide dust in a long-term study developed lung tumors. Studies with humans involved in manufacture of this pigment indicate no increased risk of cancer from exposure. Potential for inhalation of titanium dioxide dusts from coatings is very limited. Since overexposures are not expected, there is no significant hazard for man. Ethylbenzene has been reported by NTP to cause cancer in laboratory animals following a chronic (2 year) inhalation exposure. Dose levels of 75, 250 and 750 ppm were used, with evidence of carcinogenicity found in the kidneys of rats and the lung and liver of mice at 750 ppm. The No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was 75 ppm. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain, but appropriate safeguards should be employed to reduce or eliminate inhalation exposure to ethylbenzene. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Eye watering, headaches, nausea, dizziness, and loss of coordination are indications that solvent levels are too high. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal. Redness, itching, burning sensation and visual disturbances may indicate excessive eye contact. Dryness, itching, cracking, burning, redness, and swelling are conditions associated with excessive skin contact.
