ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the
individual; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may
be fatal.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments The
liquid may produce considerable gastrointestinal discomfort and may be harmful
or toxic if swallowed. Ingestion may result in nausea, pain and vomiting. Vomit
entering the lungs by aspiration may cause potentially lethal chemical
pneumonitis
EYE
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material may cause
severe eye irritation in a substantial number of individuals and/or may produce
significant ocular lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more after
instillation into the eye(s) of experimental animals. Eye contact may cause
significant inflammation with pain. Corneal injury may occur; permanent
impairment of vision may result unless treatment is prompt and adequate.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
SKIN
Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may result
following absorption.
The material produces moderate skin irritation; evidence exists, or practical
experience predicts, that the material either
路 produces moderate inflammation of the skin in a substantial number of
individuals following direct contact, and/or
路 produces significant, but moderate, inflammation when applied to the healthy
intact skin of animals (for up to four hours), such inflammation being present
twenty-four hours or more after the end of the exposure period.
Skin irritation may also be present after prolonged or repeated exposure; this
may result in a form of contact dermatitis (nonallergic). The dermatitis is
often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which may
progress to blistering (vesiculation), scaling and thickening of the epidermis.
At the microscopic level there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer
of the skin (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,
may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the
use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and

ChemWatch MSDS MSDS for HOUSE OF KOLOR SHIMRIN BASES - KBC 03, 05, 06, 08, 10, 13
may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer
(spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
INHALED
Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the
course of normal handling, may be harmful.
Evidence shows, or practical experience predicts, that the material produces
irritation of the respiratory system, in a substantial number of individuals,
following inhalation. In contrast to most organs, the lung is able to respond to
a chemical insult by first removing or neutralising the irritant and then
repairing the damage. The repair process, which initially evolved to protect
mammalian lungs from foreign matter and antigens, may however, produce further
lung damage resulting in the impairment of gas exchange, the primary function of
the lungs. Respiratory tract irritation often results in an inflammatory
response involving the recruitment and activation of many cell types, mainly
derived from the vascular system.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be
accompanied by narcosis, drowsiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack
of coordination and vertigo.
Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the
course of normal handling, may be damaging to the health of the individual.
Exposure to ketone vapours may produce nose, throat and mucous membrane
irritation. High concentrations of vapour may produce central nervous system
depression characterised by headache, vertigo, loss of coordination, narcosis
and cardiorespiratory failure. Some ketones produce neurological disorders
(polyneuropathy) characterised by bilateral symmetrical paresthesia and muscle
weakness primarily in the legs and arms.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern
following repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the
material ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive
airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high
levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS
include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic
individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes
to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A reversible airflow pattern,
on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity
on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic
inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the criteria for
diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an
infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of
exposure to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand,
is a disorder that occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of
file:///C|/Temp/House%20of%20Kolor/5090-23.HTM (4 of 18) [25/Aug/03 8:42:09 AM]
ChemWatch MSDS MSDS for HOUSE OF KOLOR SHIMRIN BASES - KBC 03, 05, 06, 08, 10, 13
irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is completely reversible
after exposure ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough and
mucous production.
On the basis, primarily, of animal experiments, concern has been expressed that
the material may produce carcinogenic or mutagenic effects; in respect of the
available information, however, there presently exists inadequate data for
making a satisfactory assessment.
There is some evidence that human exposure to the material may result in
developmental toxicity. This evidence is based on animal studies where effects
have been observed in the absence of marked maternal toxicity, or at around the
same dose levels as other toxic effects but which are not secondary non-specific
consequences of the other toxic effects.
Exposure to the material for prolonged periods may cause physical defects in the
developing embryo (teratogenesis).
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment
and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS].
Small excess risks of spontaneous abortion and congenital malformation was
reported amongst women exposed to xylene in the first trimester of pregnancy. In
all cases, however, the women has also been exposed to other substances.
Evaluation of workers chronically exposed to xylene has demonstrated lack of
genotoxicity. Exposure to xylene has been associated with increased risks of
haemopoietic malignancies but, again, simultaneous exposure to other substances
(including benzene) complicates the picture. A long-term gavage study to mixed
xylenes (containing 17% ethyl benzene) found no evidence of carcinogenic
activity in rats and mice of either sex.
FIRST AID
SWALLOWED
路 If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
路 If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
路 Observe the patient carefully.
路 Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
路 Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
路 Seek medical advice.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
路 Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
路 Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
路 If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
路 Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by

ChemWatch MSDS MSDS for HOUSE OF KOLOR SHIMRIN BASES - KBC 03, 05, 06, 08, 10, 13
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
路 Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
路 Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
路 Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
路 If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
路 Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
路 Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
路 Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
Treat symptomatically.
Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis
should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. Mechanical means should
be used if it is considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents; these
include gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. If spontaneous vomiting
has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be monitored for difficult
breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to
48 hours.
for simple ketones:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
BASIC TREATMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
路 Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary.
路 Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as
necessary.
路 Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min.
路 Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema .
路 Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock.
路 DO NOT use emetics. Where ingestion is suspected rinse mouth and give up to
200 ml water (5mL/kg recommended) for dilution where patient is able to swallow,
has a strong gag reflex and does not drool.
路 Give activated charcoal.

ChemWatch MSDS MSDS for HOUSE OF KOLOR SHIMRIN BASES - KBC 03, 05, 06, 08, 10, 13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
路 Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in
unconscious patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred.
路 Consider intubation at first sign of upper airway obstruction resulting from
oedema.
路 Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use.
路 Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias.
路 Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers
solution. Fluid overload might create complications.
路 Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema.
路 Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of
fluids. Fluid overload might create complications.
路 Treat seizures with diazepam.
路 Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation.

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
路 Laboratory analysis of complete blood count, serum electrolytes, BUN,
creatinine, glucose, urinalysis, baseline for serum aminotransferases (ALT and
AST), calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, may assist in establishing a treatment
regime. Other useful analyses include anion and osmolar gaps, arterial blood
gases (ABGs), chest radiographs and electrocardiograph.
路 Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-assisted ventilation may be required
for acute parenchymal injury or adult respiratory distress syndrome.
路 Consult a toxicologist as necessary.
BRONSTEIN, A.C. and CURRANCE, P.L.
EMERGENCY CARE FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EXPOSURE: 2nd Ed. 1994.
For acute or short term repeated exposures to xylene:
路 Gastro-intestinal absorption is significant with ingestions. For ingestions
exceeding 1-2 ml (xylene)/kg, intubation and lavage with cuffed endotracheal
tube is recommended. The use of charcoal and cathartics is equivocal.
路 Pulmonary absorption is rapid with about 60-65% retained at rest.
路 Primary threat to life from ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory
failure.
路 Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g.
cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen.
Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 < 50 mm
Hg or pCO2 > 50 mm Hg) should be intubated.
路 Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and
electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported;
intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously
symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that
hyperventilation improves clearance.
路 A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and
circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
路 Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm
because of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled
cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred
agents, with aminophylline a second choice.

Exposures at or below the recommended TLV-TWA are thought to prevent
injurious systemic effects and to minimise objections to odour and
irritation. Where synergism or potentiation may occur stringent control of

Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to prevent
significant irritation of the eyes and respiratory passages as well as
narcotic effects. In light of the lack of substantive evidence regarding
teratogenicity and a review of acute oral data a STEL is considered
inappropriate.

OES TWA: 100 ppm, 441 mg/m鲁; STEL: 150 ppm, 662 mg/m鲁 skin
Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be
absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
IDLH Level: 900 ppm
Odour Threshold Value: 20 ppm (detection), 40 ppm (recognition)
NOTE: Detector tubes for o-xylene, measuring in excess of 10 ppm, are
available commercially. (m-xylene and p-xylene give almost the same
response)
Xylene vapour is an irritant to the eyes, mucous membranes and skin and
causes narcosis at high concentrations. Exposure to doses sufficiently high
to produce intoxication and unconsciousness also produces transient liver
and kidney toxicity. Neurologic impairment is NOT evident amongst
volunteers inhaling up to 400 ppm though complaints of ocular and upper
respiratory tract irritation occur at 200 ppm for 3 to 5 minutes.
Exposure to xylene at or below the recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is thought
to minimise the risk of irritant effects and to produce neither significant
narcosis or chronic injury. An earlier skin notation was deleted because
percutaneous absorption is gradual and protracted and does not
substantially contribute to the dose received by inhalation.

Odour Threshold Value: 0.46-0.60 ppm
IDLH Level: 800 ppm (lower explosion limit)
NOTE: Detector tubes for ethylbenzene, measuring in excess of 30 ppm, are
commercially available.
Ethyl benzene produces irritation of the skin and mucous membranes and
appears to produce acute and chronic effects on the central nervous
system. Animal experiments also suggest the effects of chronic exposure
include damage to the liver, kidneys and testes. In spite of structural
similarities to benzene, the material does not appear to cause damage to
the haemopoietic system. The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against
skin and eye irritation. Exposure at this concentration probably will not
result in systemic effects.
Subjects exposed at 200 ppm experienced transient irritation of the eyes;
at 1000 ppm there was eye irritation with profuse lachrymation; at 200 ppm
eye irritation and lachrymation were immediate and severe accompanied by
moderate nasal irritation, constriction in the chest and vertigo;
at 5000 ppm exposure produced intolerable irritation of the eyes and
throat.

The concentration of respirable dust for application of this limit is to
be determined from the fraction that penetrates a separator whose size
collection efficiency is described by a cumulative lognormal function with
a median aerodynamic volume of 4.0 碌m (+-) 0.3 碌m and with a geometric

and industrial hygiene experience may become available to provide a better base
for quantifying on a toxicological basis what the STEL should in fact be.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
For flammable liquids and flammable gases, local exhaust ventilation or a
process enclosure ventilation system may be required. Ventilation equipment
should be explosion-resistant.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities
which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air
required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.)
evaporating from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers,
welding, spray drift, plating acid
fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active
generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone of rapid air
motion)
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents

favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only
motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min.) for
extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction
point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or
used.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
Safety glasses with side shields.
Chemical goggles.
Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them. DO NOT wear contact lenses.
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber
OTHER
Overalls.
PVC Apron.
PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
Eyewash unit.
Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
