EX-2C SPECIAL COMPONENT B

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Eye Contact …………………………. Skin Contact ……………...…………. Inhalation …………………….……… Moderately irritating to eyes and can cause tissue damage. Low toxicity by skin absorption, but extended contact can cause irritation and dermatitis. Skin sensitization or reddening, swelling or blistering can occur. Vapors are of low to moderate toxicity when inhaled and are irritating to nose, throat and other respiratory passages, especially in higher concentrations. Extended exposure can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea or even loss of muscular control and coordination, narcosis or unconsciousness. In addition to causing lung irritation, coughing, breathlessness and chest discomfort, isocyanates can cause a reduction in lung function or even bronchitis, bronchial spasm or pulmonary edema in extreme concentrations. Any of these effects can be immediate or delayed. Any pre-existing impairment in lung function will be magnified or sensitization of the lungs can occur, and those in either condition should not be exposed to any level of isocyanate vapor. Liquid is of low to moderate toxicity when ingested, but can be hazardous if aspirated into lungs during Ingestion:…………………………….. swallowing or vomiting.

Additional information

Chronic hazards include narcosis, specific organ damage, permanent brain and nervous system damage or coma if extensively abused. Component B (and therefore the mixture) contains an isocyanate compound, which carries additional hazards. The vapor’s odor is not detectable until dangerous levels have already been reached.
