2. Hazard Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Use ventilation necessary to keep exposures below recommended exposure limits, if any. May cause
eye, skin, or respiratory tract irritation. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Harmful if inhaled. Causes eye irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: Causes eye irritation. Irritating, and may injure eye tissue if not removed
promptly.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: Substance may cause slight skin irritation. Low hazard for usual industrial
handling or commercial handling by trained personnel.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: Low hazard for usual industrial handling or commercial handling by trained
personnel. High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations may be harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing fumes, spray, vapors, or mist.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Substance may be harmful if swallowed.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: 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.
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Eye Contact, Ingestion, Inhalation, Skin Absorption, Skin Contact
