3.2 Potential Health Effects
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Immediate Hazards
INGESTION: No hazards known to Borden.
INHALATION: Not expected to be harmful under normal conditions of
use. However, overexposure may cause central nervous
system depression. Also, if allowed to become airborne,
may cause irritation of nose, throat and lungs.
SKIN: No hazards known to Borden.
EYES: May cause irritation on prolonged or repeated contact.
Ethylene Glycol 107-21-1
Can cause central nervous system depression. Signs and symptoms may
include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness and
even asphyxiation.
Ingestion can cause severe, acute kidney damage which may be fatal.
VM & P Naphtha 8032-32-4
Can cause central nervous system depression. Signs and symptoms may
include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness and
even asphyxiation.
Light Aliphatic Solvent Naphtha (petroleum) 64742-89-8
Can cause central nervous system depression. Signs and symptoms may
include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness and
even asphyxiation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Delayed Hazards
Formaldehyde 50-00-0
POTENTIAL CANCER HAZARD.
Rats chronically exposed to 14 ppm formaldehyde contracted nasal
cancers. Based on animal data and limited epidemiological evidence,
NTP and IARC have listed formaldehyde as a probable human carcinogen.
OSHA regulates formaldehyde as a potential human carcinogen.
May cause allergic skin reaction. Some reports suggest that
formaldehyde may cause respiratory sensitization, such as asthma,
and that pre-existing respiratory and skin disorders may be
aggravated by exposure.
OSHA has identified 0.5 ppm as the "Action Level", 29CFR 1910.1048.
Please refer to the OSHA Standard for guidance applicable to your
specific operations.
Ethylene Glycol 107-21-1
Suspect reproductive hazard. May cause reproductive disorders
based on feeding study with laboratory animals.
Can cause liver damage.
Can cause kidney damage.
-- See Footnote C.
Rosin 8050-09-7
May cause allergic skin reaction.
-- See Footnote C.
Footnote C: As of the date of issuance of this document, this
material has not been listed by NTP, classified by IARC nor regulated
by OSHA as a carcinogen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. First Aid Measures
INGESTION: If accidently swallowed, dilute by drinking large
quantities of water. Immediately contact poison control
center or hospital emergency room for any other
additional treatment directions.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air.
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Call
a physician if irritation persists.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Accidental Release Measures
Sweep (scoop) up and remove to a chemical disposal area. Prevent
entry into natural bodies of water.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Handling and Storage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.1 Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practices. These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and
removal of the material from eyes, skin and clothing.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
INHALATION: Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor.
EYES: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with eyes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.2 Storage
Store in a cool, dry place.
Keep containers tightly closed.
Store below 100 F.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.1 Exposure Controls
If airborne contaminants are generated when the material is heated or
handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should
be provided to keep air contaminant concentration levels below
acceptable criteria.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.2 Personal Protection
Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH/MSHA
approved respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be
selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air
in accordance with OSHA laws and regulations or other applicable
standards or guidelines, including ANSI standards regarding
respiratory protection.
