Wear GuardTM Ultra fine Load Hardener

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Appearance, form, odor: White paste with mild ammonia-like odor. WARNING! Eye, skin and respiratory irritant. Harmful if absorbed through skin. Potential skin sensitizer.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin contact □ ×Skin absorption □ ×Eye contact □ ×Inhalation □Ingestion Symptoms of acute overexposure: Skin: Severe irritation or burns, necrosis, blistering and permanent injury. Product can be absorbed through the skin and may cause nausea, headache and general discomfort. Eyes: Severe irritation or burns. May cause lacrimation, conjunctivitis, corneal damage and may cause permanent injury. May cause blindness. Inhalation: If the hardener is poorly ventilated, strongly heated or atomized, the vapor or mist can cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract (i.e. nose, throat, lungs), damage contacted tissue (i.e. burns) and produce scarring. coughing and chest pain may result, nausea and vomiting in severe cases. Ingestion: Causes severe damage to mucous membranes if swallowed. Burning of mouth, throat, and stomach with abdominal and chest pain. May cause perforation of the esophagus and the stomach. May cause malaise, headache and discomfort bleeding and vomiting of blood. Aspiration may result in lung damage. Effects of chronic overexposure: Repeated skin contact or inhalation may cause sensitization, with asthmatic or allergic symptoms on subsequent exposure (itching, rash, deflating, swelling, nausea, faintness, headache). Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause adverse respiratory effects (cough, tightness of chest, shortness of breath), eye effects (conjunctivitis, corneal damage), or skin effects (rash, irritation, eczemas, corrosion). Effects from inhalation of vapors may be delayed. Carcinogenicity -- OSHA regulated: No ACGIH: No National Toxicology Program: Yes International Agency for Research on Cancer: Yes Cancer-suspect constituent(s) : Respirable crystalline silica Medical conditions which may be aggravated by exposure: Eye disease, skin disorders (e.g. eczema) and allergies, asthma and respiratory diseases (e.g. Bronchitis, Emphysema). Other effects: Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to low concentrations of vapor may cause: sore throat, eye irritation, nausea, faintness, headache, which are transient. Corneal edema may give rise to a perception of "blue haze" or "fog" around lights which is transient and has no known residual effect.
