Potential health effects

ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS Read “ZYTEL" Molding Guide before using this product. POLYHEXAMETHYLENE ADIPAMIDE In general, skin irritation has not been produced in human patch tests with Nylon 66. However, a small percentage of subjects may . respond to prolonged contact with redness of skin. Significant é } skin permeation, and systemic toxicity, after contact appears oa cae unlikely. There are no reports of human sensitization. If particles of Nylon 66 contact the eye, mechanical irritation with tearing, pain or blurred vision may result. POLYCAPROLACTAM Eye contact with Nylon 6 particles may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. , Significant skin permeation, and systemic toxicity, after contact appears unlikely. There are no reports of human sensitization. FIBERGLASS The mechanical action of the sharp fibers from Fiber Glass may cause skin irritation with discomfort or rash. Eye contact with Fiber Glass particles may cause mechanical eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Inhalation of Fiber Glass particles may cause irritation of the upper respiratory passages, with coughing and discomfort. Results from epidemiology studies suggest no causal relationship (Continued) © ZYT123 Page 2 (continued) oO does indicate a slight increase in lung cancer deaths. The between Fiber Glass exposure and cancer. One epidemiology study evidence that fiber glass is related to these increased lung cancer deaths is considered weak. Individuals with preexisting diseases of the lungs may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures. CAPROLACTAM Human experience or case reports have identified the following potential effects from overexposure by inhalation to Caprolactam: irritation of the nose and throat with sneezing, sore throat, dry throat or runny nose; irrtiation of the digestive tract with stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, or there may be no symptoms at all; liver abnormalities; central nervous system depression with dizziness, confusion, incoordination, drowsiness or unconsciousness; convulsions; nosebleed; or bitter taste. Repeated and/or prolonged exposure may cause an asthma-like reaction with shortness of breath, wheezing or cough, which may occur after re-exposure to very low levels; liver abnormalities; cardiovascular effects; or abnormal blood test results, especially altered hormone levels. Human experience or case reports have identified the following potential effects from overexposure by skin contact with Caprolactam: skin irritation with itching, burning, redness, swelling or rash;.or dermatitis with itching or rash. Skin permeation may occuf in amounts capable of producing the effects of systemic toxicity. Eye contact with Caprolactam may cause eye irritation with tearing, pain or blurred vision. Prolonged or high exposure may cause corneal damage. Increased susceptibility to the effects of this material may be observed in persons with pre-existing disease of the coherat nervous system, skin, or lungs.
