Section 3 – Hazards Identification
***Emergency Overview ***: Contents Under Pressure. Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain or
nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Vapors may cause flash fire or explosion.
Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Harmful if swallowed.
Effects Of Overexposure – Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure – Skin Contact: May be harmful if absorbed through skin. Prolonged or
repeated contact may cause skin irritation. Substance may cause skin irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure – Inhalation: High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and
lungs. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations may be harmful if
inhaled. Harmful if inhaled.
Effects Of Overexposure – Ingestion: Aspiration hazard if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause damage.
Substance may be harmful if swallowed.
Effects Of Overexposure – Chronic Hazards: Can lead to central nervous system depression producing
such effects as headache, dizziness, nausea and loss of consciousness. Overexposure to propellant may
cause unconsciousness, coma, and death due to suffocation. Reports have associated repeated and
prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
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 Govermental
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.
Titanium Dioxide is listed as an IARC Group 2B-Possible carcinogen.
Primary Routes of Entry: Skin Contact Skin Absorption Inhalation Ingestion Eye Contact
Section 4 – First Aid Measures
First Aid – Eye Contact: Hold eyelids apart and flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention.
First Aid – Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or
persists.
First Aid – Inhalation: If you experience difficulty in breathing, leave the area to obtain fresh air. If
continued difficulty is experienced, get medical assistance immediately.
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.
