Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Danger. Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Causes skin irritation. Causes serious eye irritation. Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child via inhalation. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. May cause an allergic skin reaction. May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. May cause damage to organs: Central Nervous System, Peripheral Nervous System, Auditory System, and Eyes through prolonged or repeated exposure.
Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact: Direct contact will cause moderate to severe irritation to the eyes. Symptoms may include redness, swelling, pain, tearing, and blurred or hazy vision.
Skin Contact: May cause moderate skin irritation. Product may be absorbed through the skin, producing effects similar to inhalation or ingestion. Allergic skin reaction (non- photo-induced): Symptoms may include redness, swelling, blistering, and itching.
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause CNS effects such as nausea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, unconsciousness, and coma. May cause motor incoordination and speech abnormalities. Breathing high concentrations of this material, for example in an enclosed space or by intentional abuse, can cause irregular heartbeats which can cause death.
Ingestion: May cause irritation to the mouth, throat, and stomach. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. This material can get into the lungs (aspiration) during swallowing or vomiting. Small amounts in the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis, possibly leading to chronic lung dysfunction or death.

Chronic health effects

From SDS:
Chronic exposure may cause drying, cracking, and defatting of the skin. Chronic effects of ingestion and subsequent aspiration into the lungs may cause pneumatocele (lung cavity) formation and chronic lung dysfunction. Prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents may cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage (sometimes referred to as Solvent or Painters Syndrome). Intentional misuse by intentionally concentrating and inhaling the vapors from this product may be harmful or fatal. Toluene, a component of this product, may cause harm to the human fetus, based on tests with laboratory animals. Long term overexposure to Toluene has been associated with peripheral neuropathy (damage to the nerves of the hands and feet), liver effects, kidney effects, impaired color vision and hearing damage

Carcinogenicity

Handling information

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. May cause flash fire. Keep away from fire, sources of heat, or sources of electrical discharges. Aspiration Hazard-may enter lungs and cause damage. If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Inhaling fumes may cause dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, headaches, and/or other Central Nervous System (CNS) symptoms. Contains a material that may cause peripheral nervous system damage. Breathing high concentrations can cause irregular heartbeats which may be fatal. Developmental hazard-Contains Toluene, which may cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wear chemically resistant protective equipment during handling. Use in a well-ventilated area. Training the workers on the potential health hazards associated with product vapor is important. Do not breathe vapors. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep away from oxidizing materials. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty, since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid). Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. No smoking in the area. Do not store near any incompatible materials. Storage area should be clearly identified, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained and authorized personnel. Protect against physical damage.

Disposal information

Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state, provincial and local regulations. Contact your local, state, provincial or federal environmental agency for specific rules.
