3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (Cont.)
POTENTIAL IMMEDIATE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE
EYE CONTACT
Can cause severe eye irritation, tearing and reddening, but not likely to
permanently injure eye tissue. Temporary vision impairment (cloudy or blurred
vision) is possible.
SKIN CONTACT
Can cause severe skin irritation, defatting, and dermatitis. Not likely to
cause permanent skin damage.
Skin Sensitizer! Avoid exposure. If sensitized, repeated exposures will result
in skin irritation, even at very low concentrations.
SKIN ABSORBTION
Toxic if absorbed through the skin causing systemic damage.
INHALATION
Can cause respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea,
headache and possible unconsciousness.
INGESTION
Toxic. If swallowed, may cause abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea and systemic poisoning.
POTENTIAL LONG-TERM EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE:
CANCER INFORMATION
Contains a substance that can cause cancer in laboratory animals at high oral
doses. Not a carcinogen according to NTP, IARC, or OSHA.
No IARC cancer hazard information available.
Classified by ACGIH as A4: Not classifiable as a human carcinogen.
No NTP cancer hazard information available.
Classified by IARC as Group 2B: The agent (mixture) is possibly carcinogenic
to humans.
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM INFORMATION
None of the substances in this product have been shown to cause reproductive
system disorders.
ADDITIONAL HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether: This substance was found to be
carcinogenic in skin painting tests on mice. This material may be mutagenic
based on laboratory tests. A small residual of epichlorohydrin remain and has
been has been shown to produce cancer in lab animals.
Tributyl phosphate: TBP was found not to be neurotoxic either acutely at 1000
mg/kg or after three months of exposure at up to 325 mg/kg/day. Assuming
similar absorption of TBP by oral and inhalation routes of exposure and a
breathing rate of approximately 170 mL/min, these values are approximately
equivalent to inhalation exposures of 4900 mg/cu m acutely and 1590 mg/cu m
per day subchronically. The ACGIH TLV (TWA) for TBP is 2.2 mg/cu m. This

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (Cont.)
indicates that a minimum of a 700-fold safety factor exists for TBP as a
potential neurotoxin(1). Large doses have been reported to cause dyspnea,
weakness, pulmonary edema, and twitching in rats. Chronic inhalation of
large doses can lead to general poisoning with paralysis, urinary bladder
hyperplasia, and increased liver weight.(1) Healy, C.E.; Beyrouty, P.C.;
and Broxup, B.R., Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc J. 56:349-355 (1995).
Amorphous silica: This product contains amorphous silica. Silica can be
hazardous if respirated into the lungs. The silica in this product is bound
to the polymers present in the ink and will not become a hazard unless the
printed surface is abraded in a manner that creates respirable dust.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS POTENTIALLY AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes retracting
eyelids often. Get immediate medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT
Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder. Get
medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
INHALATION
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, perform rescue breathing and, if
available, have a trained person administer oxygen.
Get medical attention immediately.
INGESTION
Emergency personnel should be contacted immediately and be provided with
this MSDS. For ingestion of small quantities of chemicals, the risk
associated with inducing vomiting usually exceeds the poisoning risk.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES (Cont.)
that are exposed to flames until well after fire is out.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not enter fire area without proper protection including self-contained
breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Fight fire from a
safe distance and a protected location. Heat may build pressure and rupture
closed containers, spreading fire and increasing risk of burns or injuries.
Use water spray/fog for cooling. Even if material is water soluble, it may
not be practical to extinguish fire by water dilution. Notify authorities if
liquid enters sewers or other public waters.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
carbon dioxide; carbon monoxide; fluorine containing gases; smoke;
phosphorus compounds

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the
environment. Dike with suitable absorbent material. Wear complete and
proper personal protective equipment and ventilate the area.
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS AND PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Information on the selection and use of personal protective equipment is found
in Section 8 of this MSDS. Personal protective equipment needs must be
evaluated based on information provided on this sheet and the special
circumstances created by the spill including; material spilled, quantity, the
area in which it occurred and the expertise of employees in the area
responding to the spill. Never exceed any occupational exposure limits and
consider that the evaporation of volatile solvents can lead to the
displacement of air creating an environment that can cause asphxyiation.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Avoid contact with material, avoid breathing vapors, use only in a well
ventilated area.
STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place. Isolate from incompatible materials.
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls are normally required
when handling or using this product to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
below the TLV, PEL, or other recommended exposure limit and/or maintain
operator comfort.
Facilities storing or using this material should be equipped with an eyewash
and safety shower.

____________________________________________________________________
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION (Cont.)
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If air monitoring indicates airborne concentrations at or above the limits,
or symptoms of inhalation over-exposure occur, a respiratory protection
program may be required. Engineering controls to reduce the exposure below
acceptable limits are usually preferable to a respirator program.
EYE PROTECTION
Chemically resistant safety glasses with side shields must be worn when
handling this product. Further eye protection such as chemical splash goggles
and/or face shield must be worn when the possibility exists for eye contact
due to splashing or spraying liquid or airborne particles. Contact lenses
should not be worn. An eye wash station should be available.
SKIN PROTECTION
Prevent skin contact by wearing gloves and other protective equipment.
Inspect gloves for chemical break-through and replace if detected. Clean
protective equipment thoroughly after each use. Do not remove from workplace.
An emergency shower in the area is recommended.
Appropriate gloves to be used for MARKEM products that are mixtures have not
been determined. Glove type(s) for ingredients present at 10% or more
(if known) are:
Butyl rubber, Polyethylene, Polyvinyl chloride,

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Carbon black:
Carcinogenicity
NTP: Not classified
OSHA: Not classified
ACGIH: Not classifiable as a human carcinogen (A4)
IARC: Carbon black is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B)
Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity
of carbon black. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for
the carcinogenicity of carbon black. There is sufficient evidence in
experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of carbon black extracts.
Overall evaluation: Carbon black is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B)
[IARC. Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of
Chemicals to Man. Geneva: World Health Organization, International Agency
for Research on Cancer,1972-PRESENT. (Multivolume work).,p. 65 247 (1996)].
Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation:
Exposure data: In the late 1980s and early 1990s, more extensive studies in
western Europe and the United States have found ... even lower exposures may
occur among some workers in industries using carbon black, such as rubber,
printing ink and paint manufacture, and exposures to carbon black in the use
of rubber, printing ink or paint are negligible.
