SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Canadian WHMIS for the preparation: Class D, Division 2B - Toxic Material Causing Eye and Skin Irritation. EU PREPARATION CLASSIFICATION (1999/45/EC): Irritant (Xi), R36/37/38 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Inhalation of product particulates or of residual solvent vapors may be harmful.

Potential health effects

No information is available on this specific mixture as a whole. The information presented is based on each of the components present at concentrations greater than 1% (0.1 % for hazardous substances other than those classified as Xn, Xi, or category 3 carcinogens, mutagens or toxic for reproduction). May cause irritation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. This product contains less than one percent total residual solvents (N,N-Dimethylformamide, Acetone, Pentanol, 2-Methyl Butanol, Solvent Naptha, 1-Methyoxy-2-Propanol Acetate). Exposure to residual vapors may cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation, chemical pneumonitis, and may have effects on the central nervous system, kidneys, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. Repeated or prolonged exposure to residual vapors may cause dermatitis, have effects on the blood and bone marrow, have effects on the liver resulting in impaired function, and may cause toxicity to human reproduction or development. Dust generated during routine handling, machining, grinding, or sawing may cause mechanical irritation of skin, eyes, nose, and throat. (continued) Machining, grinding or sawing this material may generate harmful dusts. Continuous filament glass fiber is not considered fibrogenic; however, it is woven from E-Glass fibers which are listed by IARC as “special purpose glass fibers” and designated as “possibility of carcinogenic in humans.” See Section 8 for exposure controls.
