CHOCKFAST ORANGE HARDENER

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Appearance, form, odor: amber liquid with fishy odor. DANGER! Corrosive. Causes eye and skin burns. Eye, skin and respiratory irritant. Toxic by skin absorption. May cause skin sensitization.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin contact Skin absorption Eye contact Inhalation Ingestion Symptoms of acute overexposure: Skin: Corrosive. Severe irritant. Can cause pain, burns, necrosis and permanent injury. Toxic by skin absorption (malaise, discomfort, injury and death unless treated promptly). May cause skin sensitization. Eyes: Corrosive. Severe irritant. Can cause pain, burns, necrosis and permanent injury (blindness). Vapors can cause lacrimation, conjunctivitis and corneal edema when absorbed into the tissue of the eye. Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors can cause irritation in the respiratory tract. Inhalation of mists and aerosols may severely damage contacted tissue and produce scarring. Ingestion: May cause irritation of mouth and throat and gastrointestinal tract. Effects of chronic overexposure: Repeated skin contact can cause sensitization, with itching, rashes, or swelling of the skin. May cause respiratory sensitization/asthmatic response. Repeated and /or prolonged exposures may result in: adverse skin effects (such as defatting, rash, irritation or corrosion), adverse eye effects (such as conjunctivitis or corneal damage), and adverse respiratory effects (cough, tightness of chest, shortness of breath). Carcinogenicity -- OSHA regulated: No ACGIH: No National Toxicology Program: No International Agency for Research on Cancer: No Cancer-suspect constituent(s) : None Medical conditions which may be aggravated by exposure: Asthma. Chronic respiratory disease (e.g. Bronchitis, Emphysema). Eye disease. Skin disorders and allergies. Other effects: Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to low concentrations of vapor may cause: sore throat, eye irritation, nausea, faintness, headache, which are transient. Exposure to vapor may also cause minor transient edema of the corneal epithelium (blue-haze). This effect produces a blurring of vision against a general bluish haze and the appearance of halos around bright objects. The effect disappears spontaneously within a few hours of the end of exposure and leaves no sequelae.
