SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
================================================================================
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - ACUTE:
Inhalation - Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain or nervous system,
causing dizziness, headache or nausea.
Contact - Causes eye irritation. Contact - Causes skin
irritation. Skin Absoption - Hazardous ingredients contained in this product
have the capacity to be absorbed through the skin in sufficient quantities to
cause systemic toxicity. See Safe Handling and Use Information (Section VIII).
Ingestion of large amounts could cause serious injury.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC:
Inhalation statement: Sanding dust inhalation may cause lung damage.
Contains: Crystalline silica which has been determined to be carcinogenic to
humans (1) by IARC when in respirable form. Risk of cancer depends on duration
and level of inhalation exposure to dust from sanding the dried paint or spray
mist. IARC has classified Carbon Black as possbily carcinogenic for humans (2B).
NOTICE: Reports have associated permanent brain and nervous system damage with
repeated, prolonged overexposure to solvents among persons engaged in the
painting trade. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling
the contents may be harmful or fatal.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY EXPOSURE:
None expected when used in accordance with Safe Handling and Use Information
(Section VIII).
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: DERMAL INHALATION INGESTION
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Inhalation - Remove to fresh air. Get medical help for any breathing
difficulty. Eye Contact - Flush thoroughly with water. Call physician.
Skin Contact - Wash with soap and water. Ingestion - Give 1 or 2 glasses or
water to dilute. Induce vomiting if the subject is conscious. Obtain medical
attention.
