MSDS

Emergency Overview:

A white to off

white paste with a slight sweet odor. CAUTION! May cause eye, skin, nose, throat

and respiratory tract irritation. This product contains ethylene glycol.

Refer to other MSDS sections for other detailed information.

Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation.

Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation. May cause dry skin.

Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory tract (nose,

mouth, mucous membranes). Inhalation of dust may cause lung damage or other adverse pulmonary and respiratory

effects.

Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards:

Formaldehyde vapor is a known animal carcinogen according to OSHA and NTP and is considered possibly carcinogenic

to humans by inhalation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer considers formaldehyde to be a human

carcinogen.

Ethylene Glycol may cause kidney and liver damage upon prolonged and repeated overexposures. Studies have shown

that repeated inhalation of ethylene glycol has produced adverse cardiovascular changes in laboratory animals. Ethylene

glycol has been shown to cause birth defects in laboratory animals. This product contains vinyl acetate which is classified

as a class 2B carcinogen by IARC. Vinyl acetate was found to cause cancer in the respiratory tract of laboratory animals.

There is no evidence that vinyl acetate causes cancer in humans. The IARC published a monograph on vinyl acetate

(1995). In this monograph, IARC indicates "there is inadequate evidence in humans for carcinogenicity of vinyl acetate.

There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of vinyl acetate." Normally, this lack of conclusive

evidence would place a substance in the IARC 3 classification (not classified as a human carcinogen). However, because

vinyl acetate is metabolized to acetaldehyde, which has an IARC 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) classification, it

also has been listed under Category 2B. Prolonged, repeated, or high exposures may cause weakness and depression of

the central nervous system.

Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation

Medical Conditions which May be Aggravated by Exposure: If dry sanded, asthma and asthma-like conditions may

worsen from prolonged or repeated exposure to dust.

First Aid - Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get

medical attention immediately.

First Aid - Skin Contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.

First Aid - Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, leave the area to obtain fresh air. If

continued breathing difficulty is experienced, get medical attention immediately.

First Aid - Ingestion: Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Do not induce vomiting.

Note to Physician: None.

COMMENTS: If over-exposure occurs, call your poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
