SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EYE Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action. SKIN Essentially nonirritating to skin. Mechanical injury only. Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties. Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. No INGESTION hazards anticipated from swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling operations. Dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). At room temperature, exposure to vapors INHALATION are unlikely due to physical properties; normal processing temperatures may generate vapors which may cause irritation if ventilation is inadequate. SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) Additives are encapsulated in the product and are not EFFECTS expected to be released under normal processing conditions or foreseeable emergency. This mixture contains a component(s) which are listed as potential carcinogens for hazard communication purposes under OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200. Components listed by IARC: styrene monomer. An increase incidence of lung tumors was observed in mice from a recent inhalation on styrene. The relevance of this finding to humans is epidemiology studies of workers exposed to styrene do not provide a basis to conclude that styrene is carcinogenic. The very small quantities of

monomer, as indicated in Section 2, are not expected to cause any hazardous condition because of the low concentration in the resin. As the resin is supplied, monomer is not likely to be released into the surroundings in toxicologically significant amounts. Monomer may be released during processing of the resin and the hazard may vary from negligible to very low depending on actual exposure conditions. Ethylbenzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS) No relevant information found. REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS No relevant information found.
