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 eye irritation. Substance causes moderate eye irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: May cause skin irritation. Substance may cause slight skin irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. 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. Avoid breathing fumes, spray, vapors, or mist. Prolonged or excessive inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Aspiration hazard if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause damage. Irritating to
the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Harmful if swallowed.
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. 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.
