SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: May be fatal if swallowed. Harmful if inhaled. Harmful if absorbed through skin. Causes eye irritation. Causes skin irritation. Vapors irritating to eyes and respiratory tract. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may cause flash fire or explosion. Extremely flammable aerosol. Contents under pressure. EYE: May cause severe eye irritation. SKIN: May cause skin irritation. Prolonged contact with the skin can cause chemical burns. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis. INHALATION: Exposure to high concentrations of vapors may cause dizziness, breathing difficulty, headaches or respiratory irritation. Extremely high concentrations may cause drowsiness, staggering, confusion, unconsciousness, coma or death. Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation. Liquid or vapor may be irritating to skin, eyes, throat or lungs. Prolonged inhalation of dusts containing free silica may result in the development of a disabling pulmonary fibrosis(lung disease) known as silicosis. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents of this product can be harmful or fatal. Respiratory symptoms associated with pre-existing lung disorders may be aggravated by exposure to material(s) is this product. INGESTION: Moderately toxic. May cause stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and narcosis. Aspiration of material into the lungs if swallowed or if vomiting occurs can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal. May cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Potential chronic health

Chronic overexposure to a component or components in this material has been found to cause the following effects in laboratory animals: Kidney damage Eye damage Lung damage Liver damage Spleen damage Anemia Brain damage Red blood cell damage Chronic overexposure to a component or components is this product has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans: Liver damage Cardiac abnormalities Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Rats exposed to titanium dioxide dust at 250 mg/m3 developed lung cancer, however, such exposure levels are not attainable in the workplace with this material. There is evidence that repeated long-term exposure to vapor concentrations greater than 50 ppm of n-butyl alcohol may result in some hearing loss. Product contains toluene which may be harmful to the fetus based on animal studies. Repeated exposure to toluene has been associated with high frequency hearing loss in laboratory animals. The human consequences of this finding is uncertain. In February 2000 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified ethylbenzene as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) on the basis of sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental animals but inadequate evidence for cancer in humans. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
