Health Hazard Data
MOST IMPORTANT HAZARDS
MAIN SYMPTOMS:
EYE: Direct contact irritates moderately with redness and swelling. Calcium carbonate, talc, xylene, calcium oxide, and MDI may cause severe eye irritation, especially in dust form. Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) may cause irritation with symptoms of redness and itching.
SKIN: A single short exposure (less than 24 hours) may irritate. Repeated prolonged contact (24 to 48 hours) may irritate moderately. Product contains calcium carbonate, xylene, and calcium oxide, which are possible skin sensitizers. Contact with BBP may cause irritation with symptoms of redness and itching. MDI or talc may cause irritation to the skin or mucous membranes. Ethyl benzene may be absorbed through the skin.
INHALATION: Vapor overexposure, and/or inhalation of silica or calcium oxide dust may severely irritate eyes, nose, throat, upper respiratory tract, and lungs. Vapor overexposure may cause drowsiness. Excessive inhalation of calcium carbonate (dust form) may result in shortness of breath or reduced pulmonary function. Inhalation of high concentrations of BBP, xylene,
or ethyl benzene may cause respiratory irritation or difficulties and central nervous system effects characterized by headache, nausea, dizziness, and/or drowsiness. MDI vapors or mist can cause irritation of upper respiratory tract:
signs/symptoms can include soreness of the nose and throat, coughing, and sneezing. Persons previously sensitized to isocyanates may experience an allergic respiratory reaction: signs/symptoms can include difficulty breathing, wheezing, tightness of chest, and respiratory failure. Overexposure to titanium dioxide (dust form) may cause pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lungs).
ORAL: Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers during use, etc. should not injure. Swallowing large amounts may cause digestive discomfort and gastrointestinal irritation. Ingestion of BBP may cause central nervous system depression with symptoms seen in acute inhalation. Ingestion of xylene may cause central nervous system effects. Aspiration of xylene or ethyl benzene into lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis.

SKIN: Repeat contact with skin may cause severe irritation, sensitization, or allergic reaction. Prolonged skin contact with xylene or ethyl benzene may cause skin irritation or dermatitis. Chronic exposure to calcium oxide may cause severe corrosive damage.
INHALATION: Vapor overexposure may cause drowsiness, irritate eyes, nose, and throat, or injure blood, liver, or central nervous system. Prolonged inhalation of dust (including calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, and silica in dust form) may cause respiratory effects including shortness of breath, reduced pulmonary function, and pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lungs). Long term excessive exposures to talc may cause talcosis, a form of pulmonary fibrosis, or scarring of the lungs. Chronic exposure to BBP by inhalation may cause sleepiness, withdrawal and weight loss or decreased weight gain. Chronic
exposure to xylene may cause damage to the eyes, central nervous system, bone marrow, liver, or kidneys. Chronic inhalation of calcium oxide may cause inflammation and ulcers in the respiratory system. Chronic overexposure to
isocyanates (found in MDI) may cause lung damage and isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma), which may be temporary or permanent. Chronic inhalation of ethyl benzene may have central nervous effects.
ORAL: Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers during use, etc. should not injure. Swallowing larger quantities may have adverse effects depending on quantity ingested. Repeated ingestion of BBP may cause sleepiness, withdrawal, and weight loss or decreased weight gain. Ingestion of xylene may cause central nervous system effects.
