Primary Routes of Entry:
Inhalation Skin Contact Eye Contact Ingestion
Target Organs:
Blood Kidneys Liver Lungs Nervous System Skin
Effects of Overexposure, Low VOC Epoxy Primer Part A:
Eye Contact Can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of
eyes.Temporary irritation.Not a primary eye irritant, mechanical irritation only.
Skin Contact May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin.
Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying and cracking of skin, and skin burns.
Passage of this material into the body through the skin is possible, but it is unlikely that
this would result in harmful effects during safe handling and use.Not a skin irritant.Not a
primary skin irritant, not absorbed through skin.
Ingestion Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause
harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can get into
the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and other
lung injury.Not hazardous when ingested.Unlikely to be toxic by ingestion.Toxic and
may be harmful if swallowed; may produce liver or kidney damage. Can cause tissue
destruction, hemorrhage changes in the gastrointestinal tract, bleeding, and
pathological lesions in the kidneys.
Inhalation Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing small amounts of this material during
normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be
harmful. Symtoms usually occur at air concentrations higher than the recommended
exposure limits.This product contains crystalline silica, which is considered a hazard by
inhalation as a respirable dust only. IARC has classified inhalation of crystalline silica
as carcinogenic for humans (group I). Inhalation of crystalline silica is also a known
cause of silicosis, a noncancerous lung disease.Inhalation of high concentrations may
cause mechanical irritation and discomfort. Repeated overexposure can cause chronic
effects. These effects are only from talc dust itself as an airborne
particle.Epidemiological studies indicate that long term exposure to high level dust and
mist from chromate compounds is associated with increase in respiratory tract cancer
in humans. The causitive agent is not known. Prolonged inhalation may cause liver
damage.

Effects of Overexposure, Low VOC Epoxy Primer Part A:
passage of the material through the skin may include: mouth and throat irritation,
stomach or intestinal upset, irritation of the nose,throat & airways, central nervous
system depression, high blood sugar, coma.Prolonged exposure to excessive airborne
concentrations of talc can result in scarring of the lungs (pheumoconiosis) or of the
covering of the lungs (pleural thickening). Pneumoconiosis may produce symptoms of
cough or shortness of breath. Pleural thickening usually produces no symptoms.
Conditions can be determined by chest radiographic examination and pulmonary
function test (FEV & FVC). Bronchial irritation may cause sputum production.
Target Organ Effects This material shortens the time of onset or worsens the liver and kidney damage
induced by other chemicals. Overexposure to this material has been suggested as a
cause of the following effects in laboratory animals: mild, reversible liver effects, mild,
reversible kidney effects, blood abnormalities.No Data
Cancer Information Based on the available information, this material cannot be classified with regard to
carcinogenicity. This material is NOT listed as a carcinogen by the International
Agency for Research on Cancer, the National Toxicology Program, or the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration.Some isomers of Xylene may contain Ethylbenzene
which 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
carcinogen.Talc may contain trace amounts of quartz (crystalline silica). Overexposure
to respirable crystalline silica dust can cause silicosis, a form of progressive pulmonary
fibrosis. "Inhalable" crystalline silica is listed by IARC as a Group I carcinogen (lung)
based on "sufficient evidence" in occupationally exposed humans and sufficient
evidence in animals. Crystalline silica is also listed by the NTP as a substance
reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen. Some human studies have not
demonstrated a cancer association and considerable controversy exists.
This talc has been tested as a whole and in parts in several animal studies with no
carcinogenic association demonstrated. Epidemiologic studies in humans have been
interpreted in conflicting ways with no clear evidence of an increased risk in lung
tumors in association with exposure. Human, animal and in-vitro tests of basic product
ingredients do not show a carcinogenic effect. All talc is of the non-asbestos form.
Note: These effects and tests have only been as a result of the raw respirable dust, and
not when incorporated as a component of another material.
Developmental Info. This material (or a component) may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive
test results with laboratory animals. Case studies show that prolonged intentional
abuse of this product during pregnancy can cause birth defects in humans.
Carcinogenicity: The following chemicals comprise 0.1% or more of this mixture and are listed and/or classified as
carcinogens or potential carcinogens by NTP, IARC, OSHA (mandatory listing), or ACGIH (optional listing).
Strontium Chromate: No specific references. Suspect cancer hazard as a chromate compound.
Section 4 - Emergency First Aid Measures
Inhalation: If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek
medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical
attention.
Eye Contact: If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure, and into fresh air. Flush eyes gently with
water shile holding eyelids apart. If symptoms persist or if there is any visual difficulty, seek immediate medical
attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If symptoms persist, seek
medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth; place
individual on the left side with the head down. Contact a physician, medical facility, or poison control center for advice
about whether to induce vomiting. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.

this material: lung (ie; asthma-like conditions), skin (redness or rash-like symptoms, irritation)
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: None
Autoignition: Will not occur.
LEL: 1.0 %
UEL: 8.0 %
Extinguishing Media: Use foam, Carbon Dioxide, or Dry Chemical fire fighting apparatus.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards:Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or be moved by
ventilation and ignited by heat, pilot lights, other flames, or other ignition sources at locations distant from material
handling area. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near containers even when empty, as product and/or product
residue can ignite explosively.
Hazardous Products of Combustion: May form oxides of carbon, and nitrogen.
Special Fire Fighting Proceedures: Treat all fires as chemical in nature. The use of water may be unsuitable as an
extinguishing media, but will be helpful in keeping adjacent containers cool. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water
used for cooling purposes.
Fire Fighting Equipment: Firemen and emergency responders: wear full turnout gear or Level A equipment, including
positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), and chemical resistant personal protective equipment.
Refer to the personal protective equipment section of this MSDS.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Spill and Leak Proceedures: Spill supervisor - Ensure cleanup personnel wear all appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE), including respiratory protection. Remove all ignition sources. Keep nonessential personnel away
from the contaminated area.
Small Spills: Ventillate area, and keep sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces isolated from the spill. Absorb liquid
using vemiculite, sawdust, speedy-dry, or other suitable floor absorbant material. Use only non-sparking tools to collect
and transfer to a suitable container for disposal in accordance with local, and federal regulations.
Large Spills: Eliminate all ignition sources, and ventilate area. Persons not wearing protective wequipment should be
excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at source, and prevent material from entering
drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Dike spill area with suitable absorbant material or chemical booms to
limit spreading. If run-off occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean
containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product, and transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and other materials
to containers for disposal in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Note; use only non-sparking
equipment to clean up spills.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage Conditions
Handling Precautions: Wear all appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Wear respiratory protection or
ensure adequate ventilation at all times as vapors can accumulate in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Use the
product in a manner which minimizes splashes and/or the creation of dust. Keep containers dry and closed when not in
use. Do not handle or store material near heat, sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition. Sufficeintly ground
container when transfering material from one container to another.
Emergency eyewash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of potential exposure.
Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperatures
and pressures, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without the presince of obvious
ignition sources. Any use of this product in elevated temperature, pressurized, or vacuum process should be thoroughly
evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions.
Storage Requirements: Store this material in tightly sealed original containers only, in a segregated area with
adequate ventilation to prevent a build-up of "fumes" that could pose a safety hazard with regard to personal exposure
and fire. Keep all sources of ignition away from storage area, and store material at temperatures between 50 to 80
degrees F.
