SPECTREM 2 BLACK

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Black. Non-sag gunnable paste. May cause slight irritation to the respiratory system. Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention. Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry Inhalation May cause slight irritation to the respiratory system. Eyes Direct contact may cause moderate irritation. Ingestion May cause irritation to the mouth, throat and stomach. Skin May cause mild irritation.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Pre-existing eye, skin, liver, kidney, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.

Potential chronic health

Possible skin sensitization. As a by-product of curing up to 4% Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime (MEKO) may be released within product. Repeated and prolonged exposure to MEKO can cause allergic skin reaction. It may adversely affect the blood, (methemoglobinemia and anemia). Carbon black is classified by IARC to be a known animal carcinogen and a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B). Carbon black is encapsulated by resin and not expected to have adverse effects unless made airborne. Inhalation of crystalline silica (quartz) can cause cancer based on animal data, and IARC concludes sufficient evidence in humans (Group 1). Prolonged and repeated overexposure to free crystalline silica dust above the TLV level may cause scarring of the lungs with cough and shortness of breath. A delayed lung injury, silicosis may result from breathing free silica. Organosilane may cause liver injury with fibrosis after repeated and prolonged overexposure. Fillers are encapsulated and not expected to be released from product under normal conditions of use. Target Organs: Skin, Blood, Lung, Liver, Kidney
