Health Effects
|
|
Extremely flammable. Contents under pressure. Vapors may cause flash fire. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Vapor harmful. Do not spray near sparks, heat or open flame. Vapors will accumulate readily and may ignite explosively. Ventilate area during use and until all vapors are gone. Do not smoke. Extinguish sources of ignition. Contents under pressure. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Heating may cause bursting. Do not puncture, incinerate, burn or store above 120 degrees F. Do not discard empty can in home garbage compactor. Contains acetone, hydrocarbon propellants, xylene, ketones, toluene and petroleum distillates. This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. May affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Cause eye, skin, nose and throat irritation. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid continuous breathing of vapor and spray mist. To avoid breathing vapors or spray mist, open windows and doors or use other means to ensure fresh air entry during application and drying or for cross ventilation. If you experience eye watering, headaches or dizziness, increase respiratory protection. (NIOSH TC23C or equivalent) or leave the area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash skin thoroughly after handling. If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention or contact a poison control center immediately. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Keep out of reach of children. |

ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
Exposure may be by INHALATION and/or SKIN or EYE contact, depending on
conditions of use. To minimize exposure, follow recommendations for proper
use, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.
ACUTE Health Hazards
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Irritation of eyes, skin and respiratory system. May cause nervous system depression. Extreme overexposure may result in unconsciousness and
possibly death.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Headache, dizziness, nausea, and loss of coordination are indications of
excessive exposure to vapors or spray mists. Redness and itching or burning sensation may indicate eye or excessive skin exposure.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
None generally recognized.

CHRONIC Health Hazards
Ethylbenzene is classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans
(2B) based on inadequate evidence in humans and sufficient evidence in
laboratory animals. Lifetime inhalation exposure of rats and mice to high
ethylbenzene concentrations resulted in increases in certain types of
cancer, including kidney tumors in rats and lung and liver tumors in mice.
These effects were not observed in animals exposed to lower concentrations.
There is no evidence that ethylbenzene causes cancer in humans.
Prolonged overexposure to solvent ingredients may cause adverse effects to the liver, urinary, cardiovascular and reproductive systems.
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents
with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Toluene. 31%
Ethylbenzene 0.8%
Xylene. 4%
1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, 1%
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of

Handling/Disposal
|
From MSDS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Vapors will accumulate
readily and may ignite explosively. During use and until all vapors are gone: Keep area ventilated - Do not smoke - Extinguish all flames, pilot lights, and heaters - Turn off stoves, electric tools and appliances, and any other sources of ignition. Consult NFPA Code. Use approved Bonding and Grounding procedures.
Contents under pressure. Do not puncture, incinerate, or expose to
temperature above 120F. Heat from sunlight, radiators, stoves, hot water,
and other heat sources could cause container to burst. Do not take
internally. Keep out of the reach of children.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal.
