Section 3 – Hazards Identification
***Emergency Overview ***: High vapor concentrations can irritate eyes, nose and respiratory passages.
Causes nose and throat irritation. Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain or nervous system causing
dizziness, headache or nausea. Flammable liquid and vapor. Harmful if swallowed. Causes eye irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure – Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure – Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure – Inhalation: High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and
lungs. May cause headaches and dizziness. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Harmful if inhaled.
Effects Of Overexposure – Ingestion: Aspiration hazard if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause damage.
Harmful if swallowed.
Effects Of Overexposure – Chronic Hazards: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged
occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Overexposure to
xylene in laboratory animals has been associated with liver abnormalities, kidney, lung, spleen, eye and
blood damage as well as reproductive disorders. Effects in humans, due to chronic overexposure, have
included liver, cardiac abnormalities and nervous system damage.
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.
NOTE: Titanium Dioxide and Ethyl Benzene components are listed as IARC Group 2B-Possible
carcinogens.
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.
