10. Stability and Reactivity
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Flammable hydrogen gas will evolve when product comes in contact with water or damp air. Heat will be
generated. The amount of heat generated will depend upon the volume of material in contact. Avoid all possible sources of ignition.
Avoid temperatures above 120 ° F. Avoid contact with strong acid and strong bases.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and strong alkalies.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION: By open flame, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. When heated to decomposition, it emits
acrid smoke and irritating fumes. Contains solvents which may form carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and formaldehyde.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur under normal conditions.
STABILITY: This product is stable under normal storage conditions.
11. Toxicological information
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: Causes Serious Eye Irritation
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation. Causes skin
irritation. Allergic reactions are possible.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing fumes, spray, vapors, or mist. May cause
headaches and dizziness. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. High gas, vapor, mist or dust
concentrations may be harmful if inhaled. Prolonged or excessive inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. Aspiration hazard if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause
damage.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: IARC lists Ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B).
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. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to
solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects
(drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, paralysis, and blurred vision) and/or damage.
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Eye Contact, Ingestion, Inhalation, Skin Absorption, Skin Contact
