SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Use ventilation necessary to keep exposures below recommended exposure limits, if any. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE ---- EYE CONTACT: Causes eye irritation. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE ---- SKIN CONTACT: Substance may cause slight skin irritation. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE ---- INHALATION: Low hazard for usual industrial handling or commercial handling by trained personnel. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE ---- INGESTION: Substance may be harmful if swallowed. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE ---- CHRONIC HAZARDS: Contains Titanium Dioxide. Titanium Dioxide is listed as a Group 2B-"Possibly carcinogenic to humans" by IARC. Significant exposure is not anticipated during brush application or drying. Risk of overexposure depends on duration and level of exposure to dust from repeated sanding of surfaces or spray mist and the actual concentration of Titanium Dioxide in the formula. Contains residual amounts of vinyl acetate. IARC list vinyl acetate as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B). This means there is inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity of vinyl acetate in humans and limited evidence of vinyl acetate in experimental animals. Risk of cancer depends on duration and exposure and actual concentration of vinyl acetate in the formula.
