3. HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION:
Hazardous Overview
Warning! Color: Neutraol to white tint; Form: Paste;
Odor: Negligible; May cause respirator
tract irritation;
Inhalation may cause nausea or dizziness; May cause eye irritation; May be harmful if swallowed; Irritating gases/fumes may be given off
during burning or thermal decomposition.
Potential Health Effects:
Route of entry
:
Inhalation; skin contact; skin absorption; eye contact
Human Effects and
Symptoms of Overexposure:
Air monitoring
conducted during the curing of this product has shown that acrolein and
acetaldehyde vapors can be generated; if curing occurs in an unventilated area
exposure limit for acrolein could be exceeded.
The following health effects include signs and symptoms associated with
overexposure to acrolein and acetaldehyde.
Acute Inhalation
..: Acrolein
vapors cause severe respiratory and eye irritation. Symptoms of overexposure include lacrimation,
a burning sensation in the throat, cough, chest discomfort and cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of earlobes, lips and fingernails due to lack of oxygen in the
blood). The tlv is designed to minimize
irritation. Acetaldehyde vapors cause
respiratory and eye irritation. The
irritant effects include cough and burning sensation in the nose, throat and
eyes. High concentrations can cause
central system depression.
Chronic Inhalation
.: None known.
Acute Skin Contact
: Based on animal testing (see animal toxicity
section), this product is not expected to be a skin irritant.
Chronic Skin
Contact
: None known.
Acute Eye Contact
.: Based on animal testing, eye contact with
liquid, aerosols and vapors of this product are not expected to cause eye
irritation. However, eye contact with
acrolein and acetaldehyde vapors (which can be generated during curing) at
concentrations above their respective tlvs can cause redness, tearing and
swelling of the eyes.
Chronic Eye
Contact
.: None known.
Acute Ingestion
..: Can cause
irritation in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract.
Chronic Ingestion
..: None known.
Carcinogenicity
NTP
.: Not listed.
IRAC
..: Not
listed.
OSHA
.: Not regulated.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Aggravated by
Exposure
..:
Respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to acrolein and
acetaldehyde vapors.
Exposure Limits
: Not established for product as a whole, refer to section 2
for exposure limits of hazardous constituents.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES:
First Aid For Eyes
.:
Flush with clean, lukewarm water (low pressure) for at least 15 minutes
occasionally lifting eyelids. Obtain
medical attention.
First Aid For Skin
.:
Remove contaminated clothing.
First Aid For
Inhalation
..:
Move to an area free from risk of further exposure. Administer artificial respiration or oxygen
if needed. Obtain medical attention
immediately.
First Aid For Ingestion
:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DO NOT
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONCIOUS PERSON.
Consult physician.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:
Flash
Point
: 77 F (25 C) Tag closed
cup
Flammable
Limits
: (UEL)(%): 6.1 Styrene
(LEL) (%): 1.1 Styrene
Extinguishing Media
..: Dry chemical;
Carbon dioxide; Foam; Water.
Special Fire Fighting
Procedures: Full emergency equipment
with self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn by firefighters. During a fire thermal decomposition and
combustion may generate irritating and toxic gases and aerosols.
Unusual
Fire/Explosion Hazards: Closed container
may explode when exposed to extreme heat.
Use cold water spray to cool fire-exposed containers to minimize risk of
rupture.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
Spill or Leak
Procedures
: Evacuate non-essential
personnel. Remove all sources of
ignition and ventilate the area. Dike or
impound spilled material and control further spillage if feasible. Notify appropriate authorities if
necessary. Cover spill with sawdust,
vermiculite, Fullers earth or other absorbent material. Collect material and place in a clean empty
drum for disposal. Utilize recommended
protective equipment.
7. HANDING & STORAGE:
Storage Temperature
(min/max.): 41 F (5 C) / 68 F (20 C)
Shelf Life
..: 6 Months
Special
Sensitivity
: Heat, light,
moisture.
Handling/Storage
Precautions
: Stored in closed
containers and in the dark at temperatures less than 68 F (20 C). If organic peroxide curing agents are used, mixing with pure
accelerators can cause decomposition with explosive force. One material must be thoroughly dispersed in
the resin before the second is added.
8. PERSONAL PROTECTION:
Eye-protection
Requirements
: Splash goggles, safety
glasses or face shield. Contact lenses
should not be worn.
Skin Protection
Requirements
..:
Permeation resistant gloves.
Ventilation/Respiratory
Requirement: Exhaust ventilation
sufficient to keep the airborne concentrations of acrolein and acetaldehyde
below the appropriate TLVs during curing of coating system must be utilized. Exhaust air may need to be cleaned by
scrubbers & filters to reduce environmental contamination. Curing ovens must be ventilated to prevent
off-gases from entering the workplace.
