SECTION 2: Hazards identification

HMIS Health: 1 Flamability: 1 Reactivy: 1 PPE: H

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eyes, Skin, Inhalation Acute Effects: Inhalation No known respiratory hazards. In case of aerosol formation If inhaled at high concentrations lung damage is possible. Eyes: May cause eye irritation Skin: May cause skin irritation Ingestion: No known ingestion hazards.

Additional information

on acute health effects The health hazard evaluation is based on test results and/or on known properties of ingredients. This material releases methanol, upon hydrolysis. According to literature methanol (CAS-No. 67-56- 1) irritates mucous membranes, has skin drying and narcotic effects up to coma or death. Absorbtion by the skin is possible. Possibility of damage to heart, kidneys, liver and optic nerves (blindness) over a period of time. This material releases ethanol upon hydrolysis. Ethanol (CAS-No. 64-17-5) is an irritant to the eyes and mucous membranes. Overexposure has been shown to cause central nervous system depression. Direct contact with the eyes will cause burning and stinging. Ingestion is not expected during industrial use.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Methanol may aggrivate existing liver and/ or kidney disease Carcinogens/ Reproductive toxins: There are no carcinogenic ingredients present at or over 0.1% in this material. This material does not contain any reproductive toxins at or above OSHA or WHMIS reportable levels.

Potential chronic health

Contains chemical(s) present at < 1% which may cause skin sensitization. See "Acute Effects"
