SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Classification of the substance or mixture Mixture of Chemicals

2.2 Label elements

Danger Flammable liquid and vapour May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways Causes skin irritation Causes serious eye irritation May cause drowsiness or dizziness Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. — No smoking. Keep container tightly closed. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/lamps/equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Wash all items that come in contact with the product thoroughly after handling. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Use personal protective equipment as required.

Other hazards which do not result in classification

WARNING! FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR MAY EFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM CAUSING DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, AND/OR NAUSEA. HARMFULL IF INHALED. MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY DRY SKIN, CAUSE IRRITATION AND BURNS.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye contact, Ingestion. Eye Contact: Can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness and swelling of eyes. Skin Contact: Can cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, and drying and cracking of skin, burns and other skin damage. Passage of this material into the body through the skin is possible but it is unlikely that this would resilt in the harmful effects during safe handling and use. Ingestion: Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can get into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and other lung injury. Inhalation: Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing this material may be harmful. Symptoms are not expected at air concentrations below the recommended Exposure limits, if applicable (see Section 8.). Breathing air containing n-butyl acetate, which results from its use in aerosol applications, may cause delayed lung injury.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material:, respiratory tract, skin, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), liver, kidney, central nervous system, bloodforming system, male reproductive system, immune system, eye. Symptoms: Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing, and/or passage of the material through the skin may include:, mouth and throat irritation (soreness, dry or scratchy feeling, cough), stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), Lung irritation, tight feeling in the chest, central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness), respiratory depression (slowing of the breathing rate), narcosis (dazed or sluggish feeling), respiratory failure, coma. Target Organs: This material (or a component) has been shown to lower activity of certain immune system cells in experimental animals. The significance of this effect with respect to human health is uncertain., Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals:, blood abnormalities, cataracts, nasal damage, testis damage, kidney damage, liver damage, Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans:, central nervous system effects. Reproductive Hazard: This material (or a component) has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in laboratory 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., When tested separately, a minor component of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (2-methoxy-1-propyl acetate) caused birth defects in experimental animals in one study but not in another. However, the commercial grade acetate containing the minor component did not cause birth defects.
