3 - 3 1 3 1 Routes of Entry Inhalation Skin Contact Eye Contact Ingestion Target Organs Blood Eyes Kidneys Liver Lungs Nervous System Skin Other ACUTE: INHALATION - Dizziness, breathing difficulty, headaches, & loss of coordination. EYE CONTACT - Moderate irritation, tearing, redness, and blurred vision. SKIN CONTACT - Moderate irritant. Can dry and defat skin causing cracks, irritation, and dermatitis. INGESTION - Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, nausea, & diarrhea. Effects of Overexposure, 2.1 VOC Euro Clear Fast Hardener: Short Term Exposure Causes local irritation to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May cause irritation by any route of exposure. The LD50 rat is 13 gm/kg (13,000 mg/kg) (insignificantly toxic).The substance irritates the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. High exposures, above the occupational exposure levels, can cause weakness, headache, and drowsiness and may cause unconsciousness. Irritates the eyes and the respiratory tract. Long Term Exposure There is evidence that this chemical is a mutagen. n-Butyl acetate may cause skin allergy. n-Butyl acetate has been shown to damage the developing fetus in animals. Prolonged and repeated exposure to butyl acetates can cause defatting, drying and cracking of the skin. Although many solvents and petroleum based products cause lung, brain and nerve damage, these chemicals have not been adequately evaluated to determine these effects. Repeated exposure can cause drying and cracking of the skin. Has been implicated in certain nervous system and brain disorders characterized by weakness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, reduced coordination, heaviness in chest and numbness of hand and feet. These symptoms may develop after 1 year of exposure to vapor concentrations of 50 - 200 ppm. Improvement is gradual and may take years after exposure is discontinued. Animal tests show that this chemical is a teratogen in The following chemicals comprise 0.1% or more of this mixture and are listed and/or classified as carcinogens or potential carcinogens by the NTP, IARC, OSHA (mandatory listing), or ACGIH (optional listing). - None
