Effects Of Overexposure -
Chronic Hazards: IARC lists Ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B).
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and
nervous system damage. Overexposure to toluene in laboratory animals has been associated with liver
abnormalities, kidney, lung and spleen damage. Effects in humans have included liver and cardiac abnormalities.
Contains carbon black. Chronic inflammation, lung fibrosis, and lung tumors have been observed in some rats
experimentally exposed for long periods of time to excessive concentrations of carbon black and several insoluble
fine dust particles. Tumors have not been observed in other animal species (i.e., mouse and hamster) under similar
circumstances and study conditions. Epidemiological studies of North American workers show no evidence of
clinically significant adverse health effects due to occupational exposure to carbon black.
Carbon black is listed as a Group 2B-"Possibly carcinogenic to humans" by IARC and is proposed to be listed as
A4- "not classified as a human carcinogen" by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
Significant exposure is not anticipated during brush application or drying. Risk of overexposure depends on
duration and level of exposure to dust from repeated sanding of surfaces or spray mist and the actual concentration
of carbon black in the formula.
Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Eye Contact
First Aid - Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes holding eyelids open.
Get medical attention.
First Aid - Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
First Aid - Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get immediate medical attention.
First Aid - Ingestion: Aspiration hazard: Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth because this material
can enter the lungs and cause severe lung damage. Get immediate medical attention.
Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors can travel to a source of
ignition and flash back. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure buildup and
possible autoignition or explosion. Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance.
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled: Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. DO NOT use
combustible materials such as sawdust. Eliminate all ignition sources; use explosion-proof equipment. Place
material in a container and dispose of according to local, provincial, state and federal regulations.
