SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Primary Routes(s) Of Entry Inhalation, skin, eyes, ingestion Eye Hazards CAUSES BURNS TO EYES. Severe irritation and/or burns can occur following eye exposure. Direct contact may cause impairment of vision and corneal damage. Rinsing of the eye should take place immediately. Skin Hazards DRY MATERIAL CAUSES MODERATE SKIN IRRITATION. WET MATERIAL CAUSES SKIN BURNS. Dermal exposure to dry material causes moderate skin irritation characterized by redness and swelling. Dermal exposure to wet material can cause severe irritation and/or burns characterized by redness, swelling, and scab formation. Prolonged skin exposure may cause permanent damage. Continued Ingestion Hazards Harmful if swallowed. CAUSES BURNS TO DIGESTIVE TRACT. Irritation and/or burns can occur to the entire gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach and intestines, characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding, and/or tissue ulceration. Ingestion may cause severe damage to the gastrointestinal tract with the potential to cause perforation. Inhalation Hazards HARMFUL IF INHALED. If dust is created and inhaled, inhalation of this material in dust or vapor form is irritating to the nose, mouth, throat and lungs. It may also cause burns to the respiratory tract with the production of lung edema which can result in shortness of breath, wheezing, choking, chest pain, and impairment of lung function. Inhalation of high concentrations can result in permanent lung damage. Toxic by inhalation (dust). Subchronic (Target Organ Effects) This product is corrosive to all tissues contacted and upon inhalation, may cause irritation to the mucous membranes and rspiratory tract. The dry material is irritating to the skin. However, when wet, it will produce burns to the skin. Chronic/Carcinogenicity Effects This product is not known or reported to be carcinogenic by any reference source including IARC, OSHA, NTP, or EPA. Inhalation: Repeated inhalation of dust may cause impairment of lung function and permanent lung damage. Skin Contact: Effects similar to those from acute exposure. In addition, chronic exposure to wet material may cause effects secondary to tissue destruction. Ingestion: There are no known or reported effects from chronic ingestion except for effects similar to those experienced from single exposure. The acute corrosivity of this product, makes chronic ingestion of significant amounts unlikely. Eye Contact: Prolonged contact may result in permanent damage. Corneal involvement or visual impairment is expected. Sensitization: This material tested negative for skin sensitization in animals. Chronic Target Organ Toxicity: There are no known or reported target organ effects from chronic exposure. Toxicological investigation indicates is does not produce significant effects from chronic exposure. Reproductive Effects This chemical has been tested in laboratory animals and no evidence of teratogenicity or fetotoxicity was seen. Conditions Aggravated By Exposure Asthma, Respiatory and Cardiovascular Disease No additional health information available.
