INT. POLYURETH. GLOSS AEROSOL

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA *** Emergency Overview ***: Extremely Flammable! Amber liquid in aerosol container. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed. May cause burns to the skin. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. Affects the central nervous system. Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Exposure to liquid, aerosol, or vapors may cause irritation, tearing, redness, and swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation. Direct eye contact may cause irritation. Exposure may cause conjunctivitis. Damage may occur to the cornea or lens of the eye. Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Direct skin contact may cause irritation. Symptoms may include swelling, redness, and rash. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis, drying, and defatting due to the solvent properties. Exposure may cause skin burns. It is possible for a component to pass through the skin into the body, but is unlikely to cause harmful effects when handled and used safely. 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, dizziness, staggering gait, confusion, unconsciousness, or coma. Exposure may cause pulmonary edema. Exposure may cause coughing. Inhalation of vapors may cause feelings of euphoria and anesthetic effects. Prolonged exposure may cause narcosis, rapid breathing and death from asphyxiation. Inhalation may cause headaches, difficult breathing, and loss of consciousness. Respiratory depression, failure, or death may result from overexposure. Exposure to high concentrations or overexposure to one or more components may cause respiratory depression or failure, difficult breathing, chest constriction, loss of consciousness, or death. 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. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Ingestion causes damage to the central nervous system. It may include, acute nervous system depression, which is characterized by the following progressive steps: headache, dizziness, staggering gait, confusion, drowsiness, unconsciousness, or coma. Ingestion may cause a burning sensation in the mouth and esophagus. Lung inflammation or other lung injury may occur if methyl n-propyl ketone enters the lungs through vomiting or swallowing. Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Prolonged contact will cause drying and cracking of the skin, due to defatting action. Skin sensitization, asthma, or other allergic responses may develop. Contains components listed as a Carcinogen NTP? No, IARC Monographs? Yes, OSHA Regulated? No. Symptoms of overexposure may occur for up to 48 hours after the original exposure occurred. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer. The neurotoxic effects caused by other chemicals may be worsened or the time of onset may be shortened by a component. In addition, kidney and liver damage caused by other chemicals may be worsened or the time of onset may be shortened by a component. A component has been shown to cause kidney damage in male rats. The kidney effects are not expected to effect humans. Overexposure to a component has been shown to cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and testis in laboratory animals. A component(s) has been shown to cause blood abnormalities, lower activity of certain immune system cells, effects the hearing, mild reversible liver effects, central nervous damage, and cataracts in laboratory animals. Ethylbenzene, 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. 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.
