MSDS
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 slight 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: IARC lists Ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B).
May cause central nervous system disorder (e,g.,narcosis involving a loss of coordination, weakness, fatigue,
mental confusion, and blurred vision) and/or damage. 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. 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 hampster) 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.
Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Eye Contact
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.
Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
