SECTION 2: Hazards identification

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS - Category 3 ACUTE TOXICITY (inhalation) - Category 4 CARCINOGENICITY - Category 2 TOXIC TO REPRODUCTION (Unborn child) - Category 2

Ingredient(s) with unknown acute toxicity

20.6% (Oral), 20.6% (Dermal), 37.9% (Inhalation) This product contains TiO2 which has been classified as a GHS Carcinogen Category 2 based on its IARC 2B classification. For many PPG products, TiO2 is utilized as a raw material in a liquid coating formulation. In this case, the TiO2 particles are bound in a matrix with no meaningful potential for human exposure to unbound particles of TiO2 when the product is applied with a brush or roller. Sanding the coating surface or mist from spray applications may be harmful depending on the duration and level of exposure and require the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and/or engineering controls (see Section 8).
