SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation Ingestion Skin absorption Eye Contact: • Moderate eye irritation Skin Contact: • May cause defatting of the skin. • Causes skin irritation. • Dermatitis • May cause sensitization by skin contact. Ingestion: • Irritation of the mouth, throat, and stomach.

Aspiration hazard

if swallowed - can enter lungs and cause damage Inhalation: • Causes respiratory tract irritation. • Harmful by inhalation. • Difficulty in breathing • May cause sensitization by inhalation. • Isocyanates vapors and mists at concentrations greater than the TLV can irritate the respiratory system causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing and shortness of breath. Persons with pre-existing, non-specific bronchial hyperactivity can respond to concentrations below the TLV with symptoms as well as an asthma attack. • May cause bronchopneumonia or bronchitis. • May cause pulmonary edema. • Individuals with lung or breathing problems or prior reaction to isocyanates must not be exposed to vapor or spray mist. Target Organ and Other Health Effects: • Causes headache, drowsiness or other effects to the central nervous system. • Blood disorders • Liver injury may occur. • Kidney injury may occur. This product contains ingredients that may contribute to the following potential chronic health effects: • Notice: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. • Overexposures may cause certain individuals to develop isocyanate sensitization which causes a reaction in isocyanates below the TLV. • Chronic exposure may cause permanent damage of health. • As a result of a previous exposure or a large single dose certain individuals will develop isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma) which will cause them to react to subsequent exposures to isocyanates below the TLV. Symptoms of wheezing, cough, shortness of breath or asthma attack. Individuals may develop lung sensitivity which may persist for long periods. May cause lung damage or impairment. Sensitization may be temporary or permanent. • Possible sensitization.
