SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW ***: Black Paste, with Characteristic odor. Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Harmful if absorbed through skin. May cause skin and eye irritation. May cause respiratory tract irritation. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: Causes eye irritation. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization. May cause dermatitis. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: 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. Prolonged or repeated overexposure to mist or vapor generated at high temperatures may result in the inhalation of harmful amounts of material. Inhalation of manganese fumes may cause headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, fever and aching muscles. Exposure to formaldehyde may cause dry, sore throat; itching and burning of the nose; nasal congestion; cough; chest tightness; and wheezing. May cause respiratory sensitization. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion is not an expected route of entry in industrial or commercial uses. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: Repeated or prolonged solvent overexposure may result in permanent central nervous system damage. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in dermatitis. Formaldehyde entrapped in this product may be released during heating and mixing. Formaldehyde has been identified 300000010325 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. May cause liver or kidney damage. This product contains methylpolysiloxanes which can generate formaldehyde at approximately 300 degrees F (150 C) and above, in atmospheres which contain oxygen. Formaldehyde is a skin and respiratory sensitizer, eye and throat irritant, acute toxicant, and known cancer hazard. Workplace exposure to formaldehyde is regulated by OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1048. IARC has designated titanium dioxide (TiO2) as Group 2B – possibly carcinogenic to humans in dust form. However, a number of long term animal studies and human epidemiology studies evaluating TiO2 and workplace exposure show insufficient evidence for carcinogenic affects. EPA, NTP and OSHA do not designate TiO2 as a carcinogen and ACGIH designates TiO2 as A4 - not classifiable as a human carcinogen. TiO2 is not present in this product as a dust and no airborne exposure is expected during application.
