DAP Premium Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Emergency Overview: A white to off-white paste product with a slight solvent odor. Use only with adequate ventilation. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all windows and doors to achieve cross -ventilation. May cause eye, skin, nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Vapors harmful if inhaled. 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. May cause localized irritation, reddening or swelling. Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to sensitization and/or contact dermatitis. Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Vapors may be irritating to eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause headache, nausea, and dizziness. Inhalation may cause mild irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, mucous membranes). Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, mucous membranes). Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion may result in obstruction when material hardens. Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite that is inhaled from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1- carcinogenic to humans). Refer to IARC Monograph 68, Silica, Some Silicates and Organic Fibres (published in June 1997) in conjunction with the use of these materials. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) classifies respirable crystalline silica as "known to be a human carcinogen". Refer to the 9th Report on Carcinogens (2000). The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) classifies crystalline silica, quartz, as a suspected human carcinogen (Group A2). Breathing dust containing respirable crystalline silica may not cause noticeable injury or illness even though permanent lung damage may be occurring. Inhalation of dust may have the following serious chronic health effects: Excessive inhalation of respirable dust can cause pneumoconiosis, a respiratory disease, which can result in delayed, progressive, disabling and sometimes fatal lung injury. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, non-specific chest illness and reduced pulmonary function. Smoking exacerbates this disease. Individuals with pneumoconiosis are predisposed to develop tuberculosis. There is some evidence that breathing respirable crystalline silica or the disease silicosis is associated with an increased incidence of significant disease endpoints such as scleroderma (an immune system disorder manifested by fibrosis of the lungs, skin and other internal organs) and kidney disease. A mixture of diisodecyl phthalate and diisononyl phthalate has been tested in a two-generation toxicity study in laboratory animals. No effects on reproductive parameters were seen. However, a small but statistically significant increase in early offspring mortality was seen at high oral doses. The significance of this to humans is uncertain.
