PRODUCT STATUS RELATIVE TO THE U.S. EPA TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT
All chemical substances in this product are listed on the U.S. TSCA Inventory or
are otherwise exempt from TSCA Inventory reporting requirements.
SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE FROM:
INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed.
EYE CONTACT: Causes severe eye irritation.
SKIN CONTACT: May cause moderate skin irritation.
INHALATION: Vapor and/or spray mist may be harmful if inhaled. Vapor irritates
eyes, nose, and throat. Repeated exposure to high vapor concentrations may cause
irritation of the respiratory system and permanent brain and nervous system
damage.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: Avoid long-term and repeated contact. This product
contains methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). MEK has been shown to cause minor
embryotoxic/fetotoxic effects in laboratory animals exposed for prolonged
periods at high concentrations via inhalation. The potential for human exposure
to high concentrations is expected to be low due to the irritating effects of
MEK at low concentrations. Ethylbenzene has been reported by NTP to cause cancer
in laboratory animals following a chronic (2 year) inhalation exposure.
Carcinogenicity was found in the kidneys of rats and the lung and liver of mice
at the 750 ppm dose level. The No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was 75 ppm. 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. High exposures to xylenes in some animal studies
have been reported to cause health effects on the developing embryo and fetus.
These effects were often at levels toxic to the mother. The significance of
these findings to humans has not been determined.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Eye watering, headaches, nausea, dizziness,
and loss of coordination are indications that solvent levels are too high.
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can
be harmful or fatal. Redness, itching, burning sensation and visual disturbances
may indicate excessive eye contact. Dryness, itching, cracking, burning,
redness, and swelling are conditions associated with excessive skin contact.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Not applicable.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
IMPORTANT FIRST AID INFORMATION: If ingestion, irritation, any type of
overexposure or symptoms of overexposure occur during or persists after use of
this product, contact a POISON CONTROL CENTER, EMERGENCY ROOM OR PHYSICIAN
immediately; have Material Safety Data Sheet information available.
INGESTION: Gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth with water. Sips of
water may be given. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Contact a poison control center, emergency room or physician right away as
further treatment may be necessary.
EYE CONTACT: Remove contact lens and pour a gentle stream of warm water through
the affected eye for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, contact a
poison control center, emergency room, or physician as further treatment may be
necessary.
SKIN CONTACT: Run a gentle stream of water over the affected area for 15
minutes. A mild soap may be used if available. If any symptoms persist, contact
a poison control center, emergency room, or physician as further treatment may
be necessary.
INHALATION: Remove from area to fresh air. If symptomatic, contact a poison
control center, emergency room or physician for treatment information.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASHPOINT: 48 Degrees F ( 9 Degrees C) (PENSKY-MARTENS CLOSED CUP)
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Lower explosion limit (LEL): 1.4
Upper explosion limit (UEL): Not available
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Class B
extinguishers (carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or universal aqueous film forming
foam) designed to extinguish NFPA Class IB flammable liquid fires.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Keep this product away from heat, sparks,
flame, and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors,
static electricity). Invisible vapors can travel to a source of ignition and
flash back. Do not smoke while using this product. Keep containers tightly
closed when not in use. Closed containers may explode when overheated. Do not
apply to hot surfaces. Toxic gases may form when this product comes in contact
with extreme heat.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Water spray may be ineffective. Water spray
may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure build-up and possible
autoignition or explosion when exposed to extreme heat. If water is used, fog
nozzles are preferable. Fire-fighters should wear self-contained breathing
apparatus and full protective clothing.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Provide maximum
ventilation. Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory, skin, and eye
protection should be permitted in the area. Remove all sources of ignition. Take
up spilled material with sand, vermiculite, or other noncombustible absorbent
material and place in clean, empty containers for disposal. Only the spilled
material and the absorbant should be placed in this container.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Waste material must be disposed of in accordance with
federal, state, provincial, and local environmental control regulations. Empty
containers should be recycled or disposed of through an approved waste
management facility.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Do not store above 120 degrees F.(48 degrees
C.). Store large quantities in buildings designed and protected for storage of
NFPA Class IB flammable liquids.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Vapors may collect in low areas. If this material is part of
a multiple component system, read the Material Safety Data Sheet(s) for the
other component or components before blending as the resulting mixture may have
the hazards of all of its parts. Containers should be grounded when pouring.
Avoid free fall of liquids in excess of a few inches.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR:
EYE PROTECTION: Wear chemical-type splash goggles when possibility exists for
eye contact due to splashing or spraying liquid, airborne particles, or vapors.
SKIN PROTECTION: Wear protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Apron and
gloves should be constructed of: neoprene rubber. No specific
permeation/degradation testing have been done on protective clothing for this
product. Recommendations for skin protection are based on infrequent contact
with this product. For frequent contact or total immersion, contact a
manufacturer of protective clothing for appropriate chemical impervious
equipment.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Overexposure to vapors may be prevented by ensuring
proper ventilation controls, vapor exhaust or fresh air entry. A NIOSH- approved
air purifying respirator with the appropriate chemical cartridges or a
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator may also reduce exposure. Read the
respirator manufacturer's instructions and literature carefully to determine the
type of airborne contaminants against which the respirator is effective, its
limitations, and how it is to be properly fitted and used.
OTHER EQUIPMENT: Clean contaminated clothing and shoes.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: Provide general dilution or local exhaust ventilation
in volume and pattern to keep the concentration of ingredients listed in Section
2 below the lowest suggested exposure limits, the LEL below the stated limit,
and to remove decomposition products during welding or flame cutting.
