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 eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. This product contains less than one percent total residual solvents (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, n-butanone, N,N-dimethylformamide, phenol, toluene, and/or cyclohexanone). Exposure to uncured resin vapors may cause eye, skin, or respiratory tract irritation. Animal tests have shown that exposure to N,N- dimethylformamide, methyl ethyl ketone and toluene may have toxic effects on reproduction. Dust generated during routine handling, machining, grinding, or sawing may cause mechanical irritation of skin, eyes, nose, and throat. 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.
