2.3 Other hazards

This product contains component(s) which have the following warnings; however based on the GHS classification criteria of your country or locale, the product mixture may be outside the respective category(s). Acute: Vapor harmful; may affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Possible irritation of the respiratory system can occur causing a variety of symptoms such as dryness of the throat, tightness of the chest, and shortness of breath. May cause central nervous system depression characterized by the following progressive steps: headache, dizziness, staggering gait, confusion, unconsciousness or coma. In elevated temperature applications, product may release vapors which have been shown to be harmful to lab animals when inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause eye irritation. This product contains a residual amount of a chemical substance that may cause an allergic skin and/or respiratory reaction. May be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion is not an expected route of entry in industrial or commercial uses. Chronic: Repeated or prolonged solvent overexposure may result in permanent central nervous system damage. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in dermatitis. Formaldehyde may be released from this product in processes that involve heat. Formaldehyde is a skin and respiratory sensitizer, eye and throat irritant, and acute toxicant. Formaldehyde has been identified by NTP and IARC as a known human carcinogen (IARC 1), and by OSHA as a potential human carcinogen. Workplace exposure to formaldehyde is regulated by OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1048. The nitrogen substituted aromatic in this product gave positive results for mutagenicity in an Ames Assay study while two other mutagenicity studies proved negative. IARC has designated carbon black as Group 2B - inadequate evidence for carcinogenicity in humans, but sufficient evidence in experimental animals. In 2006 IARC reaffirmed its 1995 finding that there is "inadequate evidence" from human health studies to assess whether carbon black causes cancer in humans. Further, epidemiological evidence from well-conducted investigations has shown no causative link between carbon black exposure and the risk of malignant or non-malignant respiratory disease in humans. IARC has identified the proprietary curative in this product as an "animal suspected" carcinogen, Group 3, which downgrades a previous NCI report of it as an "animal positive" carcinogen.
