Hazard statements
WARNING! Flammable. May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Also harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Vapors may travel to areas away from worksite before igniting/flashing back to vapor source. Vapors or mist may be a fire and explosion hazard when exposed to high temperature or ignition. Closed container may forcibly rupture under extreme heat. Toxic fumes are produced during a fire situation when product is combined with phosphorus-containing material. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling solvents may be harmful or fatal. May affect nervous system.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Skin Contact, Eye Contact, Ingestion, Inhalation
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Skin disorders, Respiratory disorders, Eye disorders, Allergies HUMAN EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE ACUTE INHALATION: Solvent vapors are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract resulting in red, itchy eyes, dryness of the throat and tightness in the chest. Other possible symptoms of overexposure include headache, nausea, narcosis, fatigue and loss of appetite. CHRONIC INHALATION: Chronic exposure to organic solvents has been associated with various neurotoxic effects including permanent brain and nervous system damage. Symptoms include loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability, and loss of coordination. ACUTE SKIN: Repeated or prolonged skin contact with the solvent can result in dry, defatted and cracked skin causing increased susceptibility to infection. In addition, dermatitis and skin rash and redness may occur from skin contact. Solvents may penetrate the skin causing effects similar to those identified under acute inhalation symptoms. CHRONIC SKIN: Chronic skin exposure to the solvent may cause effects similar to those identified under chronic inhalation effects. ACUTE EYE: Liquid, aerosols or vapors are severely irritating and can cause pain, tearing, reddening and swelling. If left untreated, corneal damage can occur and injury is slow to heal. However, damage is usually reversible. CHRONIC EYE: Prolonged vapor contact may cause conjunctivitis. INGESTION: Can result in irritation in the digestive tract. Symptoms can include sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Vomiting may cause aspiration of solvent resulting in chemical pneumonitis. INGESTION: Chronic exposure to organic solvents has been associated with various neurotoxic effects including permanent brain and nervous system damage. Carcinogenicity: This product is not listed by NTP, IARC or regulated as a carcinogen by OSHA.
