3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Heavy clear paste with petroleum odor; various colors.
Flammable Material (contains Xylene). Inhalation can cause nausea, anesthesia,
ringing in the ears, central nervous system effects. Can cause skin and eye irritation. In
case of fire, use foam, dry chemical, CO2.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY
Inhalation (breathing); eye and skin contact.
WARNING! Inhalation can cause nausea, anesthesia, ringing in the ears, central nervous system
effects. Can cause skin and eye irritation.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Inhalation: Breathing vapors can be irritating to the nose and throat. Inhalation of high
concentrations can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, ringing in the ears. Can cause
anesthetic effects and act as a central nervous system depressant.
Eye Contact: Vapors cause eye irritation; contact may cause severe irritation, eye damage.

Skin Contact: Can cause loss of natural oils, dermatitis. Symptoms may include redness, drying and
cracking of skin. May be absorbed through skin.
Ingestion: May cause burning sensation in mouth and stomach, nausea, vomiting and salivation.
CHRONIC EFFECTS
May be harmful to fetus, kidneys, liver, or central nervous system.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Eye or skin disease, breathing or respiratory disorders. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating
and inhaling vapors can be harmful or fatal.

Not Applicable OSHA
National Toxicology Program (NTP) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
(See Section 11)
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove from area to fresh air. If not breathing, clear airway and start mouth-to-
mouth artificial respiration or use a bag-mask respirator. Get immediate medical
attention. If victim is having trouble breathing, transport to medical care and, if
available, give supplemental oxygen.
Eye contact: Immediately rinse eyes with water. Remove any contact lenses. Hold eyelids apart to
ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the eyes and lids with water. Continue flushing
eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash affected areas with large amounts of running water, and soap if available, for 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash
clothing and decontaminate shoes before reuse.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or
convulsing person. Get immediate medical attention.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
Chemicals of exposure are Xylene, Toluene and Ethyl Benzene which are irritants to eyes, skin,
mucous membranes, respiratory and gastroesophageal tracts.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point and Method ........ 80 癋. (Xylene)
GENERAL HAZARD
This product and its vapors are flammable. Explosive in a contained area. Vapors are heavier than air
and may travel along the ground or may be moved by ventilation. Vapors may be ignited by open
flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors or other sources of ignition distant from use.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
For small fires, use foam, CO2, or dry chemical. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or foam.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Move containers from area if it can be done without risk.
FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT
As in any fire, wear NIOSH approved, positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective gear.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wear appropriate protective equipment (See Section 8). Ventilate area. Determine whether spill
notification must be made to the appropriate authorities. Observe all local, state and federal regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Wear appropriate protective equipment (See Section 8). Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothes.
Avoid breathing vapors. Keep container closed when not in use. Use with sufficient ventilation to keep
area below established exposure levels. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Product and product vapors are flammable.
STORAGE
Keep container tightly closed. Store in a flammable material area. Isolate from incompatible materials
(see Sect. 10).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation system.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respirator: Use NIOSH approved equipment only. For exposure above the exposure limit, use a
respirator that has been selected by an industrial hygienist or other technically
qualified person for the specific work conditions. If respirators are used, OSHA
requires compliance with its respiratory program.
Eye Protection: Wear vented safety goggles.
Gloves: Wear gloves impervious to Xylene, Toluene and Ethyl Benzene such as SilverShield
or 4H.
Clothing: Wear clothing that will protect the skin from exposure to this chemical. During
emergency or while making repairs, wear clothing that will not allow this chemical to
penetrate.
Other: Eye wash; safety shower.

E.I. DuPont's Haskel Toxicology Laboratory conducted lifetime inhalation studies of respirable titanium
dioxide at levels up to 250 mg/m3; no compound related clinical signs of toxicity were seen in the
exposed animals. Slight pulmonary fibrosis was seen at 50 to 250 mg/m3 respirable titanium dioxide but
not at 10 mg/m3. There was no evidence of cancer in animals exposed to 10 or 50 mg/m3 respirable
Page 4 of 7
titanium dioxide. Microscopic lung tumors were seen in 17 percent of the rats exposed to 250 mg/m3
respirable titanium dioxide. The lung tumors observed in the rats were different from common human
lung cancers, relative to anatomic type and location, and occurred only at dust levels which
overwhelmed the animals lung clearance mechanism and therefore, are of questionable biological
relevance for man.
Results of a DuPont epidemiology study showed that employees who had been exposed to titanium
dioxide pigments were at no greater risk of developing lung cancer than were employees who had not
been exposed to titanium dioxide pigments. No pulmonary fibrosis was found in any of the employees
and no associations were observed between titanium dioxide pigment exposure and chronic respiratory
disease or lung abnormalities. Based on the results of this study, DuPont concluded that titanium
dioxide pigment will not cause lung cancer or chronic respiratory disease in humans at concentrations
experienced in the workplace.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) conducted a feed study in rats and mice in which either 25,000 or
50,000 parts per million titanium dioxide was given in their diet for two years. Under the condition of the
NCI test, titanium dioxide did not cause cancer by the oral route.
Titanium dioxide has been classified by the American Congress of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
(ACGIH) as an A4 Carcinogen - Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen. ("1999 TLVs and BEIs," p.
67). It has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 3 - Not
Classifiable as to Its Carcinogenicity to Humans. (IARC Monograph 47, 1989).
