SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Gray. 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 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. Carbon black is classified by IARC to be a
known animal carcinogen and a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B). Carbon black is encapsulated by resin
and not expected to have adverse effects unless made airborne. 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

Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry
Inhalation May cause slight irritation to the respiratory system.
:
Eyes Vapors or liquid may cause tearing, blurred vision, severe irritation, and possible chemical
:
burns.
Ingestion May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting. May cause chemical burns to
:
stomach, mouth, nose, and throat.
Skin May cause itching, reddening, inflammation. May cause severe burns, blistering and skin
:
damage. May cause sensitization resulting in irritation, itching and redness. May cause a
rash.
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
May cause sensitization by contact. Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation, burns or dermatitis. Repeated
overexposure to vapors and/or material may injure the liver, kidneys and respiratory system unless suitable
engineering controls and/or personal protective equipment are used. May aggravate persons sensitized to
amines. 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. Overexposure to n-butyl alcohol caused anemia, liver abnormalities, eye, kidney and lung damage in
experimental animals. Can cause eye damage in humans and effect hearing if exposed to vapor concentrations of
over 50 ppm. Fillers are encapsulated and not expected to be released from product under normal conditions of

on the MSDS. Follow manufacturer's directions for respirator use.
Hand protection : Use suitable impervious nitrile or neoprene gloves and protective apparel to
reduce exposure.
Eye protection : Wear chemical safety goggles and/or face shield to prevent eye contact. Do not
wear contact lenses. Do not touch eyes with contaminated body parts or
materials. Have eye washing facilities readily available.
Skin and body protection : Prevent contact with shoes and clothing. Use rubber apron and overshoes.
Protective measures : Inspect and replace equipment at regular intervals.Use professional judgment
in the selection, care, and use.
Engineering measures : Use only in well ventilated areas. Provide maximum ventilation in enclosed
areas.Use local exhaust when the general ventilation is inadequate.
