SECTION 2: Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: This product is a light brown to brick red putty with a mild petroleum odor. The chief health hazard associated with overexposure would be the potential to slightly irritate the eyes, skin, nose, and other tissues that come in contact with the this product or in the event that particulates are generated from the product. This product is not flammable or reactive. Thermal decomposition of this product produces irritating vapors and toxic gases (e.g., carbon oxides). Emergency responders must wear proper personal protective equipment for the releases to which they are responding. SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: Under normal circumstances of use, this product should not present significant HAZARDOUS MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
Health hazards
In event of thermal decomposition of the putty or if particulates are generated, the most significant routes of occupational overexposure would be via inhalation and contact with skin. The symptoms HEALTH (BLUE) 1 of overexposure to this product, via route of entry, are as follows: INHALATION: Breathing airborne particulates, if generated during use of this product this product, may irritate the nose, throat, or respiratory system. Symptoms of such exposure could include coughing and sneezing. FLAMMABILITY (RED) 0 Symptoms are generally alleviated when exposure ends. CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES: Eye contact should not normally present a significant health hazard. In event of the generation of particulates, stinging, tearing, and redness from mechanical irritation could result. Skin REACTIVITY (YELLOW) 0 contact with this product is not expected to present significant health hazards. SKIN ABSORPTION: Skin absorption is not anticipated to be a significant route of overexposure for any component of this product.
