Section 2 - Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: A white to off-white paste product with a very slight ammonia odor. WARNING! May cause eye,
skin, nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. This product contains
ethylene glycol.
Refer to other MSDS sections for other detailed information.
Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause skin irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory tract
(nose, mouth, mucous membranes). Inhalation may cause mild irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, mucous
membranes). Inhalation of high concentrations may cause headache, nausea, and dizziness.
Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. If ingested, may cause vomiting, diarrhea, and
depressed respiration. Ingestion may result in obstruction when material hardens. Ingestion of ethylene glycol can cause
gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and if ingested in sufficient quantities, death.
Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause skin, respiratory, kidney and
liver damage. Prolonged and repeated skin contact may cause irritation and possibly dermatitis.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that crystalline silica in the form of quartz or
00010013001 English.htm Page 2 of 7
cristobalite that is inhaled from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1- carcinogenic to humans). Refer
to IARC Monograph 68, Silica, Some Silicates and Organic Fibres (published in June 1997) in conjunction with the use of
these materials. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) classifies respirable crystalline silica as "known to be a human
carcinogen". Refer to the 9th Report on Carcinogens (2000). The American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists (ACGIH) classifies crystalline silica, quartz, as a suspected human carcinogen (Group A2).
Breathing dust containing respirable crystalline silica may not cause noticeable injury or illness even though permanent
lung damage may be occurring. Inhalation of dust may have the following serious chronic health effects: Excessive
inhalation of respirable dust can cause pneumoconiosis, a respiratory disease, which can result in delayed, progressive,
disabling and sometimes fatal lung injury. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, non-specific chest
illness and reduced pulmonary function. Smoking exacerbates this disease. Individuals with pneumoconiosis are
predisposed to develop tuberculosis. There is some evidence that breathing respirable crystalline silica or the disease
silicosis is associated with an increased incidence of significant disease endpoints such as scleroderma (an immune
system disorder manifested by fibrosis of the lungs, skin and other internal organs) and kidney disease. Prolonged,
repeated, or high exposures may cause weakness and depression of the central nervous system.
A mixture of diisodecyl phthalate and diisononyl phthalate has been tested in a two-generation toxicity study in laboratory
animals. No effects on reproductive parameters were seen. However, a small but statistically significant increase in early
offspring mortality was seen at high oral doses. The significance of this to humans is uncertain.
The mixture of phthalate esters contained within this product has been shown to cause developmental effects at high
doses in laboratory animals when administered orally by gavage in a developmental study and developmental and fertility
effects when administered at high doses by feed in a two-generation reproduction study. The potential risk from
occupational and consumer exposure is considered to be very low, based on limited relevance of the rodent findings to
humans and the large safety margins between exposure and the effect levels.
Ethylene Glycol may cause kidney and liver damage upon prolonged and repeated overexposures. Studies have shown
that repeated inhalation of ethylene glycol has produced adverse cardiovascular changes in laboratory animals. Ethylene
glycol has been shown to cause birth defects in laboratory animals.

Precautionary Measures: Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb and all lenses concentrate
irritants.
Engineering Controls: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Ensure adequate
ventilation, especially in confined areas. Local ventilation of emission sources may be necessary to maintain ambient
concentrations below recommended exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. A NIOSH-approved air
purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister may be necessary under certain circumstances where
airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. A respiratory protection program that meets the OSHA
1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has recommended that the permissible exposure limit be
changed to 50 micrograms respirable free silica per cubic meter of air (0.05 mg/m3) as determined by a full shift sample
up to 10-hour work shift.
Skin Protection: Rubber gloves. Natural rubber, butyl rubber and polyvinyl chloride gloves are not suitable protection
against the phthalates contained within this product; neoprene is recommended.
Eye Protection: Goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
Other protective equipment: Not required under normal use.
Hygienic Practices: Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. Remove and wash contaminated clothing
before re-use.
Important: Listed Permissible Exposure Levels (PEL) are from the U.S. Dept. of Labor OSHA Final Rule Limits (CFR 29 1910.1000); these limits may vary
between states.
Note: An employee's skin exposure to substances having a "YES" in the "SKIN" column in the table above shall be prevented or reduced to the extent
necessary under the circumstances through the use of gloves, coveralls, goggles or other appropriate personal protective equipment, engineering controls or work
practices.
