POLYPRINT PD203Y YELLOW PIGMENT INK

Potential health effects

THIS PRODUCT CAN BE USED SAFELY WHEN USED AS DIRECTED AND WHEN APPLICABLE FROM PRODUCT Potential routes of overexposure to this product are skin contact, eye contact and inhalation of vapor. Ingestion is not expected to be a significant route of exposure for this product under normal use conditions. There is no toxicity data available for this specific formulation. Any potential hazards are presumed to be due to exposure to the components. ADDITIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS Since this mixture has not been tested as a whole to determine the hazards by all routes of exposure, information is provided for each hazardous component of the mixture to meet requirements of OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). The effects noted occur from exposure to the pure component unless otherwise noted. INFORMATION FOR COMPONENTS ALIPHATIC ALCOHOL Eye Contact - May cause slight eye irritation. Skin Contact - May cause slight skin irritation. Not expected to be absorbed through the skin. Inhalation - Breathing of spray or mist may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. Ingestion - This material has a low order of acute oral toxicity based on animal data. ETHYLENE GLYCOL Eye Contact - May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Vapors or mists may cause eye irritation. Skin Contact - Essentially nonirritating to skin. Repeated skin exposure to large quantities may result in absorption of harmful amounts. Inhalation - At room temperature, exposure to vapors are minimal due to physical properties; higher temperatures may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause adverse effects. Ingestion - Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be moderate. Excessive exposure may cause central nervous system effects, cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), and kidney failure. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing amounts larger than that may cause serious injury, even death. Systemic (Other Target Organ) Effects - Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. Observations in animals include kidney and lever effects and deposition of calcium salts in various tissues after long-term dietary intake of ethylene glycol.

Cancer information

Ethylene glycol did not cause cancer in long-term animal studies Teratology (Birth Defects) - Based on animal studies, ingestion of very large amounts of ethylene glycol appears to be the major and possibly only route of exposure to produce birth defects. Exposures by inhalation (tested nose-only in animals to prevent ingestion) or skin contact, the primary routes of occupational exposure, had minimal or essentially no effect on the fetus. Reproductive Effects - Ingestion of large amounts of ethylene glycol has been shown to interfere with reproduction in animals. Specifically, growth retardation and decreased litter size in rats and mice and mating frequency in mice were observed. HUMECTANT Eye Contact - May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Skin Contact - Prolonged or repeated exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Inhalation - At room temperature, vapors are minimal due to physical properties. If heated or sprayed as an aerosol, airborne material may cause upper respiratory irritation. Ingestion - Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be extremely low. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing amount larger than that may cause injury. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be central nervous system effects and increased blood sugar levels. Systemic (Other Target Organ) Effects - Repeated excessive exposure may cause increased fat levels in blood. Observations in animals include kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal effects with very large oral doses. Did not cause cancer in long-term animal studies Teratology - Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no adverse effects on the mother should have no effect on the fetus. Reproductive Effects - Reproductive effects seen in female animals are believed to be due to altered nutritional status resulting from extremely high doses in their diets. Similar effects have been seen in animals fed synthetic diets. POLYGLYCOL ETHER Eye Contact - May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Skin Contact - Prolonged or repeated exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. Prolonged or repeated exposure to very large amounts of component(s) in this product may cause narcosis (drowsiness). Ingestion - single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury. Inhalation - Single exposure to vapors is not likely to be hazardous. Systemic (Other Target Organ) Effects - Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects. Teratology (Birth Defects) - Birth defects are unlikely. Even exposure have an adverse effect on the mother should have no effect on the fetus. MELAMINE Eye Contact – Direct contact with this material may cause mild eye irritation. Skin Contact – Direct contact with this material may cause mild skin irritation. Inhalation – Material is not expected to be harmful if inhaled. Carcinogenicity Information None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as a carcinogen.
