SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Yellow. Liquid solution. Vapor may irritate respiratory tract. May cause nausea, headaches, and dizziness. Leave
area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry
Inhalation Vapor may irritate respiratory tract. May cause nausea, headaches, and dizziness.
:
Eyes Direct contact may cause mild irritation. May cause temporary injury.
:
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, liver, kidney, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
Prolonged or repeated exposure to xylene may cause defatting, drying, and irritation of the skin, dermatitis,
central nervous system (CNS) effects, heart muscle sensitization and arrhythmia, hearing loss, and brain, liver,
kidney damage. Xylene overexposure may affect fetal development. Overexposure to methyl isobutyl ketone can
cause narcosis and can adversely affect the central nervous system and cardiovascular system. Overexposure to
1-methoxy-2-propanol may cause olfactory tumors, general anesthesia, and nausea, and is an experimental
teratogen. Many glycol ethers have been shown to have adverse human reproductive effects. Inhalation of
crystalline silica (quartz) can cause cancer based on animal data, and IARC concludes sufficient evidence in
humans (Group 1). Prolonged and repeated overexposure to free crystalline silica dust above the TLV level may
cause scarring of the lungs with cough and shortness of breath. A delayed lung injury, silicosis may result from
breathing free silica. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated ethylbenzene and
classified it as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in
experimental animals, but inadequate evidence for cancer in exposed humans. Prolonged and repeated
exposure to excessive airborne concentrations of talc can result in scarring of the lungs (pneumoconiosis) or the
covering of the lungs (pleural thickening). Fillers are encapsulated and not expected to be released from product
under normal conditions of use.
Target Organs: Skin, Eye, Ingestion, Lung
