SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Emergency Overview: A opaque liquid product with a slight odor. WARNING! May cause eye, skin, nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Refer to other MSDS sections for other detailed information. Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Vapors may be irritating to eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, mucous membranes). Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause irritation of eyes and skin. This product contains vinyl acetate which is classified as a class 2B carcinogen by IARC. Vinyl acetate was found to cause cancer in the respiratory tract of laboratory animals. There is no evidence that vinyl acetate causes cancer in humans. The IARC published a monograph on vinyl acetate (1995). In this monograph, IARC indicates "there is inadequate evidence in humans for carcinogenicity of vinyl acetate. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of vinyl acetate." Normally, this lack of conclusive evidence would place a substance in the IARC 3 classification (not classified as a human carcinogen). However, because vinyl acetate is metabolized to acetaldehyde, which has an IARC 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) classification, it also has been listed under Category 2B.
