Protection: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment (full
facepiece recommended) when airborne exposure limits see
below) are exceeded. If used, full facepiece replaces need for
face shield and/or chemical goggles. Consult respirator
manufacturer for appropriate type equipment for a given

11.TOXILOGICAL INFORMATION
N-METHYL-2-PYRROLIDONE (NMP) CAS# 872-50-4
Animal data:
Inhalation 4 hour ALC: 1.7 mg/L in rats
Skin absorption LD50: 8000 mg/kg in rabbits
Oral LD50: 4320 mg/kg in rats
The compound is a mild skin irritant, is a moderate eye irritant, but is not a
skin sensitizer in animals.
Inhalation: Toxicity described in animals from single exposures includes
irregular and rapid respiration, hyperemia, salivation and weight loss.
Repeated exposures caused lethargy and irregular respiration at concentrations
of 0.1 and 0.5 mg/L, and at 1.0 mg/L, bone marrow hypoplasia, thymus, spleen and
lymph node changes occurred (reversible after 14 days post-exposure), and
mortality. There were no observed effects from a study in which rats were
exposed to 370 ppm for two weeks. Changes in rats exposed for two years to 10 or
100 ppm included reduced weight gain in male rats at the 100 ppm concentration
level. No other significant changes occurred in this study.
Ingestion: Repeated exposure of dogs to 25, 79 or 250 mg/kg/day of the compound
in the diet caused lower serum cholesterol, and increased platelet counts. Rats
fed 800, 2000 or 5000 ppm exhibited minor effects which included increased
thyroid weights in males, and increased urine pH and enzymatic changes in males
and females.
NMP is not carcinogenic when tested by the inhalation, dermal and subcutaneous
route of administration.
The compound does not produce genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian cell
cultures.
When tested for developmental effects by inhalation and dermal exposure, the
routes typical of a worker's potential exposure, NMP did not present a urine
hazard to the conceptus.
Tests in animals, males and females, demonstrate no reproductive toxicity.
Human health effects of overexposure by:
Skin contact may initially include: skin irritation with discomfort or rash.
Eye contact with liquid or vapor may initially include: eye irritation with
discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Low vapor concentrations caused eye
irritation in some individuals.

Product Name: Pyre-ML RC5057,RC5069,RC5097 page 6/8
Industrial Summit Technology Corp. MSDS Date: 15 June 2004
Reference Number: ML-102
Inhalation may initially include: irritation of the upper respiratory passages,
with coughing, discomfort and headache.
Human experience has demonstrated severe dermatitis (blistering, cracking, edema,
redness) upon prolonged or repeated skin contact. There are inconclusive or
unverified reports of human sensitization.
AROMATIC PETROLEUM DISTILLATE CAS# 64742-95-6
Animal data:
Inhalation 6 hour LC50: >14.4 mg/L in rats
Oral LD50: ~5000 mg/kg in rats
The compound is a moderate skin irritant, a slight eye irritant, and a skin
photosensitizer in animals.
Inhalation: Toxic effects of single exposure to very high concentrations
include hyperactivity, salivation, lack of coordination, tremors, irregular
respiration and nonspecific such as weight loss and irritation. Long-term
exposure produced no significant effects from exposure to concentrations of 400
ppm for one year.
Human health effects of overexposure:
Skin contact may initially include: skin irritation with discomfort or rash.
Evidence suggests that skin permeation can occur in amounts capable of producing
photosensitization.
Eye contact may initially include: eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or
blurring of vision.
Inhalation may initially include: irritation of the upper respiratory passages,
with coughing and discomfort.
Ingestion may initially include: nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea,
headache, or weakness; temporary nervous system depression, dizziness, headache,
confusion, lack of coordination, and loss of consciousness.
POLYAMIC ACID of PYROMELLITIC DIANHYDRIDE/ 4,4- CAS# 25038-81-7
OXYDIANILINE (POLYMER)
Animal data:
Inhalation 4 hour LC50: 15,600 mg/m3 in rats
The polymer resin is a slight skin irritant, and is not a sensitizer in animals.
Inhalation: Effects of a single exposure include discomfort and difficult
respiration.
Ingestion: Effects of repeated exposure included reduced food consumption and
reduced rate of weight gain.

Human health effects of exposure by:
Skin contact may initially include: skin irritation with discomfort or rash.
Inhalation may initially include: irritation of the upper respiratory passages,
with coughing and discomfort.
Significant skin permeation and systemic toxicity after contact appears unlikely.
