Physical hazards

2 3 1 PERSONAL PROTECTION Based on Nat’l Paint & Coating Association HMIS System Chemical not listed. Ratings based on NFPA guidelines Effects of Overexposure Acute Inhalation | Symptoms include burning, choking, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache or nausea. May cause chemical burns to the respiratory tract, leading to sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath and delayed lung edema. High concentrations may cause damage to mucous membranes and lungs, causes corrosive action of the mucous membranes. Exposure to the mist and vapor may erode exposed teeth. Eyes | Symptoms include eye burns, watering eyes. Permanent damage to cornea may result, forms corneal burns with dangers of vision impairment or blindness. Corrosive to eyes, contact can cause corneal burns and result in permanent irreversible injury. Contact may cause painful sensitization to light. Liquid contact is corrosive to the eyes and causes severe burns. Vapor or mist may cause irritation and severe burns. (Continued) Skin | Symptoms include burning, itching, redness, inflammation and/or swelling of exposed tissues. Harmful if absorbed through skin, forms blisters, ulceration and chemical burns to the skin. Contact may cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Liquid contact is corrosive and causes severe burns and ulceration. Vapor causes severe irritation and may cause burns at high concentrations. Ingestion | Symptoms include burning, choking, nausea, vomiting and severe pain. May cause chemical burns to the mouth, gullet and gastrointestinal tract, severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation, diarrhea, and permanent tissue destruction to the gastrointestinal tract, can cause itching, cough and chemical burns to the respiratory tract, circulatory system failure and possible death. Chronic Repeated exposure may affect liver or cause bleeding of nose and gums, nasal and oral mucosal ulceration, conjunctivitis, yellowing of teeth and erosion of tooth enamel, dermatitis, photosensitization and possible blindness.
