SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Clear to Yellow. Viscous solution. May cause slight irritation to the respiratory system. May cause nausea,
headaches, and dizziness. May cause drowsiness, weakness, and fatigue. May cause allergic respiratory
sensitization. Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical
attention. Move to fresh air. If required, artificial respiration or administration of oxygen can be performed by
trained personnel.
Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry
Inhalation May cause slight irritation to the respiratory system. May cause nausea, headaches, and
:
dizziness. May cause drowsiness, weakness, and fatigue. May cause allergic respiratory
sensitization.
Eyes Direct contact may cause mild irritation.
:
Ingestion May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting.
:
Skin May cause sensitization resulting in irritation, itching and redness.
:
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
Overexposure may cause dermatitis, asthma, skin and respiratory sensitization and decreased lung function.
Prolonged or repeated exposure to butyl benzyl phthalate may cause reduced body weights and adverse
effects on the liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas, and reproductive organs. Diphenylmethane diisocyanate
(methylene bisphenyl isocyanate) caused an increased incidence of lung tumors in experimental animals
following long term inhalation at concentrations in excess of 100 times the exposure limit. Fillers are
encapsulated and not expected to be released from product under normal conditions of use.
Target Organs: Skin, Eye, Ingestion, Lung

SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Get immediate medical attention for any significant overexposure.
Inhalation : Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get
medical attention.Move to fresh air. If required, artificial respiration or administration
of oxygen can be performed by trained personnel.
Eye contact : Flush with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eye lids apart. Get medical
attention immediately.
Skin contact : Clean area of contact thoroughly using soap and water. If irritation, rash or other
disorders develop, get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting unless advised by a physician. Call nearest Poison Control
Center or Physician immediately.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Prevent inhalation of vapor, ingestion and contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Preferably use entire contents
in one continuous work session. Do not smoke, weld, generate sparks, or use flame near container. Change
soiled work clothes frequently. Clean hands thoroughly after handling Do not store or use near food. Keep
container closed when not in use. Since emptied containers retain product residue and vapor, observe
precautions even after container is emptied. Store under dry warehouse conditions away from heat and all
ignition sources.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protection equipment
Respiratory protection : Wear appropriate, properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor or
supplied air respirator when airborne contaminant level(s) are expected to
exceed exposure limits indicated on the MSDS. Follow manufacturer's
directions for respirator use.
Hand protection : Use suitable impervious nitrile or neoprene gloves and protective apparel to
reduce exposure.
Eye protection : Wear appropriate eye protection.Use safety glasses if eye contact is likely.
Skin and body protection : Use disposable or impervious clothing if work clothing contamination is likely.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Protective measures : Use professional judgment in the selection, care, and use.
Engineering measures : Use general ventilation and/ or local exhaust to reduce the airborne
contaminant concentration below the exposure limit listed in the MSDS
