Potential Health Effects
Primary Entry Routes: Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Ingestion.
Target Organ Effects:
This material (or a component) shortens the time of onset or worsens the liver and kidney damage induced by other chemicals.
This material (or a component) shortens the time of onset or worsens the neurotoxic effects induced by other chemicals.
Exposure to lethal concentrations of methanol has been shown to cause damage to organs including liver, kidneys, pancreas,
heart, lungs and brain. Although this rarely occurs, survivors of severe intoxication may suffer from permanent neurological
damage. Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to damage to many organ systems having effects on: central and
peripheral nervous systems, vision, hearing, liver, kidneys, heart and blood. Such abuse has been associated with brain damage
characterized by disturbances in gait, personality changes and loss of memory. Comparable central nervous system effects have
not been shown to result from occupational exposure to toluene. Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to hearing loss
progressing to deafness. In addition, while noise is known to cause hearing loss in humans, it has been suggested that workers
exposed to organic solvents, including toluene, along with noise may suffer greater hearing loss than would be expected from
exposure to noise alone. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following
effects in laboratory animals: mild, reversible liver effects; mild, reversible kidney effects, cardiac sensitization, respiratory
tract damage (nose, throat and airways), testis damage, kidney damage. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has
been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans: central nervous system effects, cardiac sensitization, visual
impairment, and kidney damage.
Acute Effects
Inhalation:
Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing this material may be harmful. Symptoms usually occur at air concentrations
higher than the recommended exposure limits (See Section 8). Prolonged or repeated breathing of dust may result in
progressive and permanent lung disease (fibrosis), which may cause death from respiratory and/or heart failure. Symptoms
include coughing and difficult breathing, which becomes worse with physical activity.
Eye:
Can cause severe eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness and swelling of eyes. Can injure eye tissue.
Skin:
Can cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, and
drying and cracking of the skin, burns and other skin damage. Passage of this material into the body through the skin is
possible, and may add to toxic effects from breathing or swallowing.
MSDS No. 302173 ECH Lap Sealant 09/01/2008
Ingestion:
Swallowing this material may be harmful. This material can get into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in
lung inflammation and other lung injury.
Symptoms of Exposure:
Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, ingestion and/or passage of the material through the skin
may include: metallic taste, mouth and throat irritation (soreness, dry or scratchy feeling, cough), stomach or intestinal upset
(nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), tight feeling in the chest, central nervous system excitation
(giddiness, liveliness, light-headed feeling) followed by central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness,
fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness) and other central nervous system effects, temporary changes in mood and
behavior, leg cramps, muscle weakness, pain in the abdomen and lower back, respiratory depression (slowing of the breathing
rate), blurred vision, cyanosis (causes blue coloring of the skin and nails from lack of oxygen), narcosis (dazed or sluggish
feeling), visual impairment (including blindness), respiratory failure, coma and death.
Carcinogenicity:
This material (or a component) is listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). In a study
conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), di (2-ethylhexyl) adipate caused liver tumors in female mice when fed
to the animals for two years. There was an increase in tumors in male mice, however it was not clearly related to di (2-
ethylhexyl) adipate exposure. It did not cause an increase in tumors in either male or female rats in the same study. The
relevance of this study to humans is uncertain. There is no evidence that this chemical causes cancer in humans. Di (2-
ethylhexyl) adipate is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Ethylbenzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain.
IARC has classified ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen. IARC and NTP have determined that there is sufficient
evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite. In addition, IARC
has determined that there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of quartz and cristabolite in experimental animals.
Among individuals with silicosis, lung cancer occurs more frequently in those who smoke.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: Respiratory symptoms associated with pre-existing lung disorders
and pre-existing heart disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this material.
Chronic Effects: Prolonged contact with skin can cause moderate irritation and dermatitis. Excessive inhalation of vapors can
cause nasal and respiratory irritation and dizziness, weakness, fatigue nausea, headache, unconsciousness, and even death.
Overexposure has caused damage to kidney, liver, eye, spleen, lung, brain, and nervous system in animals, and may cause eye
damage, cardiac, liver, central nervous system abnormalities in humans.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get medical
attention immediately.
Eye Contact:
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes gently with water for at
least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate medical attention.

09/01/2008 ECH Lap Sealant MSDS No. 302173
Skin Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with large amounts of water. If skin is damaged, seek medical attention.
If skin is not damaged and symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
DO NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. Aspiration of material into lungs due to vomiting can cause
chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth; place
individual on the left side with the head down.
Note to Physicians:
Inhalation of high concentrations of this material, as could occur in enclosed spaces or during deliberate abuse, may be
associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias in persons exposed to this
material. This product contains methanol, which can cause intoxication and central nervous system depression. Methanol is
metabolized to formic acid and formaldehyde. These metabolites can cause metabolic acidosis, visual disturbances and
blindness. Since metabolism is required for these toxic symptoms, their onset may be delayed from 6 to 30 hours following
ingestion. Ethanol competes for the same metabolic pathway and has been used to prevent methanol metabolism. Ethanol
administration is indicated in symptomatic patients or at blood methanol concentrations above 20 ug/dl. Methanol is effectively
removed by hemodialysis. Fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole) is an effective antagonist of alcohol dehydrogenase, and as such,
may be used as an antidote in the treatment of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and methanol poisoning. This material is an
aspiration hazard. Potential danger from aspiration must be weighed against possible oral toxicity (See Section 3 ?br>
Swallowing) when deciding whether to induce vomiting. Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may
be aggravated by exposure to this material: respiratory tract, skin, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), liver, kidney,
central nervous system, pancreas, heart, male reproductive system, auditory system. Exposure to this material may aggravate
any preexisting condition sensitive to a decrease in available oxygen, such as chronic lung disease, coronary artery disease or
anemias. Individuals with preexisting heart disorders may be more susceptible to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) if exposed to
high concentrations of this material. Silicosis predisposes the individual to the development of tuberculosis. This is most likely
to occur after the age of 50 and in association with moderate to severe silicosis.

Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam. Water may not be effective as an
extinguishing agent. Water fog or spray may be used to provide a smothering effect on fire and to cool fire-exposed containers
and surrounding combustibles.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Extremely flammable. Store and use away from all sources of heat, flame, or sparks. Do
not smoke while applying. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along ground or may be moved by ventilation and
ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electrical motors, static discharge, or other ignition sources at
location distant from material handling point and flashback. All containers should be grounded when material is transferred.
Hazardous Combustion Products: May form toxic materials such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, various hydrocarbons,
or phenols in a fire.
Fire-Fighting Instructions: This product contains solvents that are dangerous fire and explosion hazards when exposed to heat
or flame. Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing with a full face piece
operated in the positive pressure demand mode.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Because fire may produce toxic thermal decomposition products, wear a self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face piece operated in pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Spill /Leak Procedures: Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid breathing vapors. Use self-contained breathing apparatus in
enclosed area. Ventilate area. Contain and remove with inert absorbent materials and non-sparking tools.
Small Spills: Eliminate all sources of ignition such as flares, flames (including pilot lights) and electrical sparks. Absorb liquid
on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other non-combustible absorbent material.
Large Spills: Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks). Persons not wearing
protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean up has been completed. Stop spill at source. Prevent
from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Prevent from spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as
required. Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product. Transfer
contaminated absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal.

Engineering Controls: Do not use in enclosed areas without proper explosion-proof ventilation. General and local exhaust
ventilation must be sufficient to control vapor concentrations and keep the vapor concentration below 100 ppm.
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below OSHA PELs . Local
exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its source.
Administrative Controls:
Eye Protection:
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.133) should be worn whenever handling
or transferring material. Contact lenses are not protective devices. Appropriate eye protection must be worn instead of,
or in conjunction with contact lenses.
Skin Protection:
Permeation resistant gloves (that meet ANSI/ISEA 105-2005) recommended. To prevent repeated or prolonged skin
contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use. Follow OSHA respirator regulations
(29 CFR 1910.134) and, if necessary, wear a MSHA/NIOSH-approved respirator. Select respirator based on its suitability to
provide adequate worker protection for given working conditions, level of airborne contamination, and presence of sufficient
oxygen. For emergency or nonroutine operations (cleaning spills, reactor vessels, or storage tanks), wear an SCBA.
Warning! Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. If respirators are used, OSHA
requires a written respiratory protection program that includes at least: medical certification, training, fit testing, periodic
environmental monitoring, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and convenient, sanitary storage areas. Engineering or
administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area.
Contaminated Equipment: Separate contaminated work clothes from street clothes. Launder before reuse. Remove this
material from your shoes and clean personal protective equipment.
Comments: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene after using this material, especially before
eating, drinking, smoking, using the toilet, or applying cosmetics. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN!
