M22750G-1-H-A CURING AGENT

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

*** Emergency Overview ***: Flammable liquid and vapors. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed. Maybe corrosive to the respiratory system, skin, or eyes. May cause burns to the eyes and skin. Eye irritant. May cause liver and kidney damage. 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. Curing agent used in this formulation is a severe eye irritant. May cause corneal edema and conjunctivitis. Benzyl 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. Contact maybe corrosive to the skin and may cause sensitization. Direct contact with benzyl alcohol, a component of tihis formulation, may cause allergic skin reaction (blistering, scaling, rash). 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. Harmful by inhalation. Inhalation may cause a dry nasal passageway, headaches, difficult breathing, loss of consciousness, tightness of the chest, shortness of breath, and a sore throat and cough. Curing agent of this formulation is a severe respiratory irritant. Lung inflammation or other lung injury may occur if secondary butyl alcohol enters the lungs through vomiting or swallowing. 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: May result in irritation and possible corrosive action in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract. Vomiting may cause aspiration of the solvent, resulting in chemical pneumonitis. Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. 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. Also, prolonged contact will cause the drying and cracking of the skin, due to defatting action. Skin sensitization, asthma, or other allergic responses may develop. Kidney and liver damage may occur from prolonged or repeated overexposures. 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.
