Potential health effects
of this product are based on the hazards of its components The use of this product in combination with other products may produce synergistic (additive) health effects. Cautionary labeling and material safety data sheets of all materials used with this product should be reviewed before use. EYES Eye contact with 1iquid, vapors or mists may cause moderate to severe irritation, including burning, tearing. redness or swelling and eye damage. SKIN Skin contact may cause irritation. Repeated or prolonged overexposure may cause skin irritation or dermatitis. Symptoms may include dryness, chaqping and redness. Skin absorption is possible but harmful effects are not expected from this route of exposure under normal conditions of handling and use. INHALATION Inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms may include central nervous system disorders such as headaches, dizziness, weakness and fatigue. INGESTION Ingestion may cause moderate gastrointestinal tract irritation. Symptoms may include signs of nervous system depression, headaches, nausea and vomiting. Ingestion may cause vomiting. Aspiration of material into lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal. PAGE: 2 0F 5 CHRONIC EFFECTS/TARGET ORGANS Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Toluene has been associated with Tiver, kidney and brain damage in humans after intentional misuse by deliberately inhaling. Studies have shown that toxic effects from toluene overexposure during pregnancy may be harmful to the fetus. Overexposure to this material has been suggested as a cause of cardiac sensitization in humans. ANIMAL STUDIES Repeated exposure to toluene has been associated with high frequency hearing loss in lab animals. Acetone has been suggested as a cause of the following effects, after overexposure, in laboratory animals, and may aggravate pre-existing disorders of these organs in humans; mild, reversible 1iver effects and mild, reversible kidney effects. Acetone has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in lab animal studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain. Diacetone alcohol has been found to cause kidney and liver injury and blood disorders in lab animals. For animal studies, reference TSCA Section 4 Test Rule Results or contact the manufacturer for further details.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Pregnant women and persons with pre-existing health disorders should consult their physician before using this product. Repeated and prolonged overexposure and/or individual sensitivity may increase the potential for and degree of adverse health effects. See Section 3 "Hazards Identification" for effects of certain hazardous ingredients. ROUTES OF EXPOSURE Primary exposure routes: Inhalation-Dermal (Contact/Absorption)-Ingestion EYES After initial flushing, remove any contact Tenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists have eyes examined and tested by medical personnel. SKIN In case of contact, immediately wash skin with a mild soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cool water is initially suggested to prevent the pores of the skin from opening. This will minimize both the area and time of skin contact. Lukewarm water may then be used to ensure all contaminants are removed. Skin should be monitored for reddening or chemical burns. Mild soap is suggested to help prevent abrading the skin or rubbing the chemicals into pores during cleansing. Get medical attention if irritation persists or significant contact has occurred. Thoroughly wash (or discard) clothing and shoes before reuse. INHALATION Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. Seek immediate medical attention if breathing difficulty is experienced. INGESTION If swallowed. do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
