LACQUER SANDING SEALER

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview ***: Extremely Flammable! Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed. May cause burns to the eyes and skin. May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Affects the central nervous system. 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. Direct eye contact may cause irritation. Exposure may cause conjunctivitis. Contact with eyes may cause blurred vision. Mists and vapors may cause severe eye irritation. May cause swelling of the conjunctiva, corneal injury, or burns to the eye. Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Direct skin contact may cause irritation. Symptoms may include drying and cracking of skin, swelling, redness, rash, pain, burning, and skin burns. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis, drying, and defatting due to the solvent properties. Contact with skin may cause blistering. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause dry skin. Exposure may cause skin burns. 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 pulmonary edema or irreversible damage to the nervous system and brain. Exposure may cause coughing. Prolonged, repeated or high exposures may cause central nervous system depression leading to headaches, nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, and possibly narcosis. In extreme cases, may cause loss of consciousness. Exposure may cause liveliness, a light-headed feeling, and giddiness followed by nausea, weakness, fatigue, and drowsiness. Inhalation may cause headaches, difficult breathing, and loss of consciousness. May cause irregular heartbeats, a tight feeling in the chest, respiratory depression, and narcosis. 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. A component may cause hypotension, loss of reflexes, stupor, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal pain, and respiratory depression that may lead to death. Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and a sore throat. 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. Exposure to large doses may cause abdominal spasms. 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. Lung inflammation or other lung injury may occur if isopropanol enters the lungs through vomiting or swallowing. A component may cause liver damage. 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. Exposure to concentrated vapors may cause heart arrhythmias, especially those with preexisting heart conditions. Symptoms of overexposure may occur for up to 48 hours after the original exposure occurred. Preexisting liver or kidney disease may be aggravated by repeated or prolonged exposure. Exposure to a component may cause kidney damage, coma, difficult breathing, liver damage, blood abnormalities (breakage of red blood cells), blood in the urine, or death. Overexposure to ETHYL BENZENE, a component of this formulation, has been shown to cause damage to the liver and kidneys in tests in laboratory animals. Overexposure to isopropanol has been suggested as a cause of mild and reversible liver effects 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. Isopropanol, 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.
