STATEMENT OF HAZARD:
WARNING: COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID
CAUTION: HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE NARCOSIS. MAY
CAUSE SKIN AND EYE IRRITATION. VAPOR MAY IRRITATE THE
RESPIRATORY TRACT. HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN,
SWALLOWED, OR INHALED.
CHRONIC HAZARD WARNING:
DANGER: CONTAINS MDA, LEVELS OF DANGER DEPENDS ON THE DURATION
AND EXPOSURE LEVELS.
PRIMARY ROUS OF EXPOSURE: SKIN CONTACT
CARCINOGEN LISTING BY: OSHA-NO IARC-YES
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE CONTACT MAY CAUSE MODERATE IRRITATION WITH CORNEAL INJURY.
VAPORS MAY IRRITATE THE EYES, CAUSING TEARS. EXCESSIVE VAPOR
CONCENTRATIONS WILL IRRITATE THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND MAY
CAUSE NARCOSIS. PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE
SKIN IRRITATION, POSSIBLE BURNS, AND DRYING OR FLAKING OF THE
SKIN. OVEREXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT CAN CAUSE FEVER, CHILLS, LOSS
OF APPETITE, VOMITING AND JAUNDICE. MAY STAIN SKIN. HARMFUL
AMOUNTS OF THIS MATERIAL CAN BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. THIS
MATERIAL CONTAINS 4,4' METHYLENEDIANILINE (MDA) WHICH MAY CAUSE
CANCER AND IS A LIVER TOXIN. RISK OF CANCER DEPENDS ON THE
LENGTH AND LEVEL OF EXPOSURE. IN ADDITION, LONG-TERM (CHRONIC)
EXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE LIVER, KIDNEYS, BLOOD,
SPLEEN, THYROID AND EYES. CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE TO STYRENE MAY
AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
FIRST AID:
EYE CONTACT: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15
MINUTES. CONTACT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH SKIN WITH WATER FOR 15
MINUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. CONTACT
PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. CONTACT PHYSICIAN

IMMEDIATELY.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CONTACT PHYSICIAN OR
REGIONAL POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY.
*4,4' METHYLENEDIANILINE IS CONSIDERED AN ANIMAL CARCINOGEN BY
IARC AND NTP. RISK TO YOUR HEALTH DEPENDS ON LEVEL AND DURATION
OF EXPOSURE.
SECTION VII. SPILL, LEAK, AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION
SPILL / LEAK PROCEDURES: IN CASE OF SPILL, CONTAIN WITH A
SUITABLE DIKING MATERIAL. IN ADDITION TO THE PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT, WEAR IMPERMEABLE BOOTS. VENTILATE THE AREA
THOROUGHLY. KEEP ALL UNNECESSARY PEOPLE AWAY. SPILLED MATERIAL
SHOULD BE ABSORBED IN SAWDUST, SAND OR OTHER ABSORBENT. PLACE
INTO OPEN-TOPPED CONTAINERS AND COVER LOOSELY; STORE FOR AT LEAST
12 HOURS BEFORE SEALING THE CONTAINER.
WASTE MANAGEMENT / DISPOSAL: CONTROLLED INCINERATION OR BURIED
LANDFILL DISPOSAL SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE
AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.

SECTION VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS:
THE LEVEL OF ENGINEERING CONTROL DEPENDS ON HOW THIS MATERIAL IS
PROCESSED. SELECTION OF SPECIFIC PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
WILL DEPEND ON THE OPERATION.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING THAT IS
IMPERVIOUS TO THIS PRODUCT. SELECTION OF GLOVES, BOOTS,
APRON OR FULL-BODY SUIT WILL DEPEND ON OPERATION.
EYE PROTECTION: WEAR CHEMICAL SPLASH-PROOF GOGGLES OR A
FACE SHIELD. VAPOR RESISTANT GOGGLES ARE NECESSARY IF
CONTACT LENSES ARE WORN BY EMPLOYEES.

RESPIRATOR: IF AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION OF MDA IS LESS THAN
OR EQUAL TO 10 TIMES THE PEL, WEAR A HALF-MASK RESPIRATOR
WITH A COMBINATION ORGANIC VAPOR/HEPA (HIGH EFFICIENCY
PARTICULATE IN AIR FILTER) CARTRIDGE.
IF THE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 50
TIMES THE MDA PEL, WEAR A FULL FACEPIECE RESPIRATOR WITH A
A FULL FACEPIECE POWERED AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR WITH HEPA
CARTRIDGES IS REQUIRED WHEN THE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION IS
LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 1000 TIMES THE PEL OF MDA.
WEAR EITHER A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH A FULL
FACEPIECE IN POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE OR A FULL FACEPIECE
POSITIVE PRESSURE DEMAND SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR WITH
AUXILIARY SELF-CONTAINED AIR SUPPLY IF THE AIRBORNE
CONCENTRATION OF MDA IS UNKNOWN.
VENTILATION: USE EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP AIRBORNE
LEVELS BELOW OSHA-RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS. DO NOT USE
THIS PRODUCT IN A POORLY VENTILATED AREA. ADEQUATE
VENTILATION IS ESSENTIAL TO PREVENT OXYGEN DEFICIENCY AND
CONCENTRATION OF VAPORS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO LIFE-
THREATENING NARCOSIS.
GENERAL HYGIENE RECOMMENDATIONS: BEFORE EATING, DRINKING,
SMOKING OR USING TOILET FACILITIES, WASH FACE AND HANDS
THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF
THIS MATERIAL GET ON WORK CLOTHES, THE EMPLOYEE SHOULD
SHOWER IMMEDIATELY AND THE CLOTHING SHOULD BE LAUNDERED
BEFORE IT IS WORN AGAIN. ANY EMPLOYEE WHO HAS BEEN EXPOSED
TO MDA AT OR ABOVE THE ACTION LEVEL(5PPB) FOR 30 OR MORE
DAYS A YEAR, OR WHO HAS HAD DERMAL EXPOSURE TO MDA FOR 15 OR
MORE DAYS A YEAR, OR WHO SHOWS SIGNS OF DERMAL EXPOSURE
(STAINED SKIN) MUST SEE A DOCTOR FOR MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE.
NOTE: ANY CLOTHING THAT HAS BEEN CONTAMINATED WITH MDA MUST
BE LAUNDERED BEFORE IT IS WORN AGAIN. DESTROY CONTAMINATED
LEATHER AND ABSORBENT SHOES. WORK CLOTHING CANNOT BE TAKEN
HOME.
SPECIAL ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS: CONSULT THE OSHA' STANDARD 29
CFR PARTS 1910 AND 1926 (OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO 4,4'
METHYLENEDIANILINE) FOR MORE INFORMATION ON WHETHER OTHER
ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE NEEDED.

SINCE THIS PRODUCT IS COMBUSTIBLE, BE SURE TO ISOLATE, VENT,
DRAIN, WASH AND PURGE EQUIPMENT (SYSTEMS) BEFORE MAINTENANCE OR
REPAIR. REMOVE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. CHECK ATMOSPHERE FOR
EXPLOSIVENESS AND OXYGEN DEFICIENCIES.
SECTION IX. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ON COMPONENTS OF THIS PRODUCT ARE AS
FOLLOWS:
4,4' METHYLENEDIANILINE (MDA) HAS AN ORAL LD50 OF 250-347 MG/KG
(RAT) AND 264 MG/KG (MOUSE). THIS MATERIALS HARMFUL IF ABSORBED
THROUGH THE SKIN. REPEATED DERMAL EXPOSURE TO MDA MAY CAUSE
ALLERGIC SKIN REACTIONS AND LIVER DAMAGE. MDA CAUSED LIVER
TUMORS IN MICE AND THYROID CANCER IN RATS AND MICE DURING
LABORATORY TEST.
STYRENE HAS AN ORAL LD50 (RAT) OF 5000 MG/KG. IF STYRENE LIQUID
IS ASPIRATED INTO THE LUNGS, IT MAY BE RAPIDLY ABSORBED THROUGH
THE LUNGS AND CAUSE INJURY TO OTHER BODY SYSTEMS. STYRENE IS
REPORTED TO CAUSE HEARING LOSS IN LABORATORY ANIMALS UPON
EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS (16 TIMES THE TLV). THE
RELEVANCE OF THIS TO HUMANS IS UNKNOWN. CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE TO
STYRENE MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, LIVER AND KIDNEY
EFFECTS AND RESPIRATORY OR EYE IRRITATION.
BENZYL ALCOHOL HAS AN ORAL LD50 (RAT) OF 1230 MG/KG. PROLONGED
SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE DEFATTING OF THE SKIN. INHALATION OF
VAPORS MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, VERTIGO, NAUSEA, AND VOMITING.
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION MAY ALSO OCCUR.
SECTION X. REGULATORY INFORMATION
NOTICE: REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND MAY
DIFFER FROM ONE LOCATION TO ANOTHER. IT IS THE BUYER'S
