SECTION 2: Hazards identification

A. Emergency Overview:

Appearance/Odor

Fiberglass cloth coated with white viscous liquid aromatic resin.

Potential health effects

Acute Eye: Eye irritant, possible eye burns and vision failure. Acute Skin: - 1 of 8 - Skin irritant and possible skin sensitizer. Direct skin is the route most likely to cause sensitization. Once sensitized an individual may react to airborne levels below the TLV with the following symptoms, itching and tingling of the earlobe and hives, swelling of the arms and legs or other symptoms common to allergic dermatitis. Any individual having a sensitization reaction to this material should be removed from exposure to any isocyanate. Acute Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors or spray mist may also cause irritation to the respiratory tract (dry throat, cough, shortness of breath and chest tightness). In addition sinusitis, bronchitis or respiratory sensitization (asthma-like symptoms) may occur. Exposure to toluene may cause nausea, headaches, dizziness or any other central nervous system effects. Acute ingestion: Irritation and corrosive action can occur in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract. Symptoms can include: sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Potential chronic health

Prolonged skin contact can cause reddening, swelling, rash, scaling or blistering and in some cases, skin sensitization. Individuals who have skin sensitization can develop these symptoms from contact with liquid or vapor.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Asthma, other respiratory disorders (bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial hyper reactivity), skin allergies, eczema. National Fire Protection Association Hazard Ratings – NFPA(R):
