CHOCKFAST ORANGE RESIN

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Appearance, form, odor: Orange viscous liquid with little odor. WARNING! Eye and skin irritant. Potential skin sensitizer.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin contact Skin absorption Eye contact Inhalation Ingestion Symptoms of acute overexposure: Skin: Moderate irritant. Contact at elevated temperatures can cause thermal burns which may result in permanent damage. May cause skin sensitization (itching, redness, rashes, hives, burning, swelling). Eyes: Moderate irritant (stinging, burning sensation, tearing, redness, swelling). Contact at elevated temperatures can cause thermal burns which may result in permanent damage or blindness. Inhalation: The low vapor pressure of the resin makes inhalation unlikely in normal use. In applications where vapors (caused by high temperature) or mists (caused by mixing) are created, breathing may cause a mild burning sensation in the nose, throat and lungs. Ingestion: Acute oral toxicity is low. May cause gastric distress. Large oral doses may produce moderate depression and slight difficulty breathing. Effects of chronic overexposure: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization, with itching, swelling, or rashes on later exposure. Studies have shown bisphenol A diglycidyl ether resin to to be a sensitizing agent causing allergic contact dermititis. Carcinogenicity -- OSHA regulated: No ACGIH: No National Toxicology Program: Yes International Agency for Research on Cancer: Yes Cancer-suspect constituent(s) : Silica Medical conditions which may be aggravated by exposure: Preexisting eye and skin disorders. Development of preexisting skin or lung allergy symptoms may increase. Other effects: See section 11.
