SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview ***: Flammable liquid and vapors. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed. May cause burns to the skin. Eye irritant. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Exposure to liquid, aerosol, or vapors may cause irritation, tearing, redness, and swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation. Contact with eyes may cause irritation. Benzy! alcohol, a component of this formulation, can cause severe eye irritation and eye tissue injury as a result of direct eye contact. Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Direct skin contact may cause irritation. Symptoms may include drying and cracking of skin, swelling, redness, pain, numbness, rash, burning, blistering, and skin burns. Material may pass through the skin and cause effects similar to breathing or ingestion. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis, drying, and defatting due to the solvent properties. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause severe skin irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, mucous membranes) & acute nervous system depression characterized by the following progressive steps: headache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, staggering gait, confusion, fatigue, drowsiness, unconsciousness, or coma. Exposure may cause difficult breathing, shortness of breath, or coughing. Inhalation may cause headaches and loss of consciousness. Harmful by inhalation. Lung inflammation or other lung injury may occur if secondary butyl alcohol enters the lungs through vomiting or swallowing. Overexposure to METHYL NORMAL PROPYL KETONE, a component of this formulation, has been suggested as a cause of mild, reversible effects on the livers and kidneys of laboratory animals. Exposure to benzyl alcohol, a component of this formulation, may aggravate preexisting medical conditions of the respiratory tract, lungs, and skin. Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. May result in possible corrosive action in the mouth, stomach tissue, and digestive tract. Vomiting may cause aspiration of the solvent, resulting in chemical pneumonitis. Lung inflammation or other lung injury may occur if methyl n-propyl ketone enters the lungs through vomiting or swallowing. The gastrointestinal tract lining may be damaged through the ingestion of a component. Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Repeated or prolonged contact with the preparation may cause removal of natural fat from the skin resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause damage to liver and kidneys. Repeated and prolonged exposure may cause delayed effects involving the blood, gastrointestinal, nervous, and reproductive systems. WARNING: This product contains a chemical (carbon black) known to the state of California to cause cancer as airborne, unbound particles of respirable size. Exposure may cause mild, temporary changes in the liver, and low blood pressure. In animal studies, exposure to a component(s) has been shown to cause damage to the fetus, only at a level of exposure that would also harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is unknown. Exposure to METHYL NORMAL PROPYL KETONE, a component of this formulation, has been found to cause kidney damage in male tats. The mechanism by which this toxicity occurs is specific to the male rat and the kidney effects are not MSDS Number: 02GN089 MIL-PRF-23377J, TYPE I, CLASS C1 BASE Page 2 of 5 expected to occur in humans. Methyl n-propyl ketone, a component of this formulation, has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in labortory animal studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain. PRODUCT CONTAINS TITANIUM DIOXIDE PIGMENT, WHICH HAS AN IARC CLASSIFICATION OF 2B ° POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS. Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Inhalation, Eye Contact
