SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Harmful if swallowed. Harmful if inhaled. 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. May be absorbed through the skin. Material 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. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents of this product can be harmful or fatal. INGESTION: Moderately toxic. May cause stomach discomfort, nause, 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 Brain 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 Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Contains butyl benzyl phthalate which has been shown to cause cancer in at least one study in laboratory animals. Butyl benzyl phthalate is listed by the National Toxicoloty Program (NTP) as producing significant maternal and developmental toxicity. 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. The exposure risk of crystalline silica is higher when the respirable portion is available for exposure. The risk of exposure many be reduced when encapsulated in a coating. The risk of cancer depends on the duration and level of exposure to dust from sanding surfaces or mist from spray applications. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
