SECTION 2: Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW *** Form-paste Color-red Odor-Sweet ether-like odor. May cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Combustible liquid and vapor.
Potential health effects
Eye contact Irritating. May cause tearing, reddening and/or swelling. May injure eye tissue if not removed promptly. May cause conjunctivitis. Skin Contact A moderate skin irritant based on testing of similar CHROMA-CHEM® base mixtures. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause irritation. Prolonged skin contact with large amounts of ether acetates may cause drowsiness. Inhalation Possibly irritating. Excessive inhalation of solvent vapors may cause nasal and respiratory irritation and central nervous system effects including dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, possible unconsciousness and even death. Ingestion May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Health hazards
High vapor concentrations (3000 ppm) of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate caused upper respiratory irritation and liver and kidney effects in subchronic animal testing. The relevance of these results to humans is not known. Prolonged inhalation of iron oxide dust is known to produce a condition known as siderosis. On X- rays it appears to be a benign pneumoconiosis and is not associated with pulmonary fibrosis or disability unless there is concurrent exposure to other fibrosis producing materials such as silica. Because this product is a free-flowing liquid or paste, dust inhalation is not an expected route of exposure.
