HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
螖WARNING!
This product is not expected to produce any unusual hazards during normal use. Exposure to high dust, mist or vapor
levels may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, throat, or upper respiratory tract. Exposure to high vapor levels of ethylene
glycol may cause slight headache, dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, and/or stupor. Prolonged and repeated breathing
of respirable talc dust may cause lung disease (pneumoconiosis).
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for more information)
ACUTE :
Exposure to dust, mist or vapors generated during the handling, spray application or use of the product
may irritate eyes, skin, nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract. Persons subjected to large amounts of
this dust, mist or vapor will be forced to leave area because of nuisance conditions such as coughing,
sneezing and nasal irritation. Labored breathing may occur after excessive inhalation. If respiratory
symptoms persist, consult physician. Breathing of ethylene glycol vapors can cause slight headache,
dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, and/or stupor. Exposure to high vapor levels may irritate the nose,
Inhalation
throat, or upper respiratory tract. Labored breathing may occur after excessive inhalation. If respiratory
symptoms persist, consult physician. Breathing of acrylic polymer vapors can cause slight headache,
dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, and/or stupor. Exposure to high vapor levels may irritate the nose,
throat, or upper respiratory tract. Labored breathing may occur after excessive inhalation. If respiratory
symptoms persist, consult physician.
Dust/mist/vapors can cause mechanical irritation of eyes. If burning, redness, itching, pain or other
Eyes symptoms persist or develop, consult physician. Ethylene glycol vapors may cause slight temporary
eye irritation. Acrylic polymer vapors may cause slight temporary eye irritation.
Skin Direct, prolonged or repeated contact with the skin may cause irritation.
Ingestion If ingested may cause temporary irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, especially the stomach.
CHRONIC:
Animal studies indicate that prolonged and repeated overexposure to ethylene glycol may cause kidney
and/or liver damage and birth defects. Overexposure is highly unlikely at concentrations present in this
Inhalation
product. Prolonged and repeated breathing of respirable talc dust may cause lung disease
(pneumoconiosis). The extent and severity of lung injury correlates with the length of exposure and dust

concentration. Prolonged and repeated exposure to airborne free respirable crystalline silica can result
in lung disease (i.e., silicosis) and/or lung cancer. The development of silicosis may increase the risks of
additional health effects. The risk of developing silicosis is dependent upon the exposure intensity and
duration.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide ventilation sufficient to control airborne dust/mist/vapor levels. If user
operations generate airborne dust/mist/vapor, use ventilation to keep dust concentrations below permissible exposure
limits. Where general ventilation is inadequate, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control dust/mist/vapor levels below permissible exposure limits. Use proper ventilation to
reduce vapor exposures. Where general ventilation is inadequate, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to control vapor levels due to ethylene glycol below permissible exposure limits. If
engineering controls are not possible, wear a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA-approved vapor respirator. A respiratory
program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's use. Provide ventilation sufficient to control vapor exposures. Where general
ventilation is inadequate, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control
vapor levels. If engineering controls are not possible, wear a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA-approved vapor respirator.
Wear a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator equipped with vapor cartridges when in poorly ventilated areas, and if TLV
is exceeded. A respiratory program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be
followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Wear a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator equipped with particulate cartridges when
dusty or misty in poorly ventilated areas, and if TLV is exceeded. A respiratory program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR
1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
If engineering controls are not possible, wear a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA-approved particulate respirator.
OTHER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Eye/Face Wear eye protection, safety glasses or goggles, to avoid possible eye contact.
Skin Wear gloves and protective clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.
Selection of Personal Protective Equipment will depend on environmental working conditions and
General
operations.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE EFFECTS: Ethylene glycol: Oral LD50 rat > 6.14 g/kg; Oral LD50 mouse > 14.6 g/kg; Oral LD50 guinea pig >
8.2 g/kg; Oral LD50 dog > 8.81 g/kg (LD50 and LC50: Not Available for product.)
CHRONIC EFFECTS / CARCINOGENICITY:
Ethylene Glycol: Animal studies indicate that prolonged and repeated overexposure to ethylene glycol may cause
kidney and/or liver damage and birth defects. Overexposure is highly unlikely at concentrations present in this
product. Trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane, acetaldehyde and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether may be associated with
the production of ethylene glycol. Any exposure to these substances is expected to remain well below OSHA
regulatory and ACGIH recommended limits during normal handling and use of this product.
Acetaldehyde/formaldehyde: A component of this product is a proprietary acrylic polymer. The acrylic polymer is not
classified as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP or ACGIH. However, trace amounts acetaldehyde and formaldehyde may be
associated with the the emulsion polymer. Any exposure to these substances formaldehyde is expected to remain
well below OSHA regulatory and ACGIH recommended limits during normal handling and use of this product.
Talc: Prolonged and repeated breathing of respirable talc dust may cause lung disease (pneumoconiosis). The extent
and severity of lung injury correlates with the length of exposure and dust concentration.
Crystalline Silica: Exposures to respirable crystalline silica are not expected during the normal use of this product;
however, actual levels must be determined by workplace hygiene testing. The weight percent of respirable crystalline
silica may not have been measured in this product. Prolonged and repeated exposure to airborne free respirable
crystalline silica can result in lung disease (i.e., silicosis) and/or lung cancer. The development of silicosis may
increase the risks of additional health effects. The risk of developing silicosis is dependent upon the exposure
intensity and duration.
In June, 1997, IARC classified crystalline silica (quartz and cristobalite) as a human carcinogen. In making the overall
evaluation, the IARC Working Group noted that carcinogenicity in humans was not detected in all industrial
circumstances studied. Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the crystalline silica or on
external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of its polymorphs.
IARC states that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic
to humans (Group 1).

螖 WARNING!
Vapors and/or dust may cause irritation to eyes, skin, nose, throat and upper respiratory tract. Avoid irritation by
reducing exposures to vapors, dust and direct contact. Use in a well-ventilated area or provide sufficient local
ventilation. If vapor levels are high or if dusty, wear a NIOSH/MSHA-approved for organic vapor with P series
particulate pre-filter vapor respirator or dust respirator. Wear eye protection and protective impervious gloves. If eye
contact occurs, immediately flush thoroughly with water for 30 minutes and seek medical advice. If irritation persists,
call physician. Wash with soap and water after use. Do not ingest. If ingested, call physician. Do not use if material
has spoiled, i.e., there is a moldy appearance or an unpleasant odor. Close container and discard properly.
