SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: DANGER! Combustible liquid and vapor. Causes skin irritation. Causes eye irritation. Harmful if inhaled. Vapor and spray mist harmful. Causes nose and throat irritation. Overexposure may cause lung damage. May cause allergic skin and respiratory reaction. Effects may be permanent.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation • Eye contact • Ingestion • Skin contact • Skin absorption Target Organs Potentially • Respiratory Tract Affected by Exposure: • Central nervous system • Lungs • Eyes • Skin • Blood • Kidneys • Liver

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Skin allergies. • Individuals with lung or breathing problems or prior reaction to isocyanates must not be exposed to vapor or spray mist. • Respiratory disorders, including but not limited to asthma and bronchitis. • Eye irritation when/if dust or spray mist is generated. • Lung disease • Eye disorders. • Liver disease • Kidney disease • Immediate (Acute) Health Effects by Route of Exposure: Inhalation Irritation: Inhalation of dusts produced during cutting, grinding or sanding of this product may cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Inhalation Toxicity: Vapor harmful. May affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Skin Contact: Can cause moderate skin irritation. Sensitizer. Avoid exposure. If sensitized, repeated exposures will result in irritation, reddening, and rashes even for very low exposures. May cause allergic skin reaction. Skin Absorption: May be harmful if absorbed through skin. Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation. Ingestion Toxicity: Harmful if swallowed. Long-Term (Chronic) Health Effects: Carcinogenicity: Cancer hazard: Contains Crystalline Silica, which can cause cancer. Risk of cancer depends on duration and level of exposure to dust generated from sanding surfaces or spray mists.

Contains

Titanium Dioxide which is listed by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). This listing is based on inadequate evidence with respect to humans and sufficient evidence in experimental animals. Possible cancer hazard. Contains toluene diisocyanate which may cause cancer based on animal data. (Risk of cancer depends on duration and level of exposure.) Reproductive and Xylene may cause adverse reproductive and/or developmental effects. Pregnant Developmental Toxicity: women may be at an increased risk from exposure. Mutagenicity: Xylene has been shown to be positive in mutagenicity assays. Inhalation: Isocyanate vapors or mist at concentrations above the TLV can irritate the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath and reduced lung function. Exposure well above the TLV may lead to generally reversible bronchitis, bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema. Repeated overexposure causes sensitization in some individuals resulting in asthma-like symptoms on subsequent exposures below the TLV. Persons with preexisting bronchial hyperactivity can respond to concentrations below the TLV with similar symptoms as well as an asthma attack. Overexposure may cause lung damage. NOTICE: 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. Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause an allergic skin reaction.
