SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Color: Yellow Physical State: Liquid. Odor: Aromatic ®(TM)*Trademark Hazards of product: WARNING! Flammable liquid and vapor. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause eye irritation. May cause skin irritation. May be harmful if inhaled. May cause central nervous system effects; may cause respiratory tract irritation. Vapor explosion hazard. Vapors may travel a long distance; ignition and/or flash back may occur. Stay out of low areas. Keep upwind of spill. Isolate area. Warn public of downwind explosion hazard. Eliminate ignition sources. Possible cancer hazard. May cause cancer based on animal data.

Potential health effects

Eye Contact: May cause slight eye irritation. May cause slight temporary corneal injury. Vapor may cause eye irritation experienced as mild discomfort and redness. Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation with local redness. Repeated contact may cause skin burns. Symptoms may include pain, severe local redness, swelling, and tissue damage. Vapor may cause skin irritation. May cause drying and flaking of the skin. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Skin Sensitization The data presented are for the following material Epoxy resin. Has caused allergic skin reactions when tested in guinea pigs. Inhalation: Vapor concentrations are attainable which could be hazardous on single exposure. May cause respiratory irritation and central nervous system depression. Symptoms may include headache, dizziness and drowsiness, progressing to incoordination and unconsciousness. Ingestion: Low toxicity if swallowed. Swallowing may result in gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration.

Aspiration hazard

Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard Effects of Repeated Exposure Based on information for component(s) In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Blood. Kidney. Liver. Lung. Xylene is reported to have caused hearing loss in laboratory animals upon exposure to high concentrations; such effects have not been reported in humans. Although one early inhalation study on ethylbenzene reported an adverse effect on the testes, recent, more comprehensive studies have not shown this effect.

Cancer information

Ethylbenzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals Birth Defects/Developmental Effects: Exaggerated doses of xylene given orally to pregnant mice resulted in an increase in cleft palate, a common developmental abnormality in mice. In animal inhalation studies, xylene caused toxicity to the fetus but did not cause birth defects. Available data are inadequate for evaluation of maternal toxicity. The data presented are for the following material: Ethylbenzene. Has caused birth defects in laboratory animals only at doses toxic to the mother. Has been toxic to the fetus in lab animals at doses nontoxic to the mother.
