Section 3: Hazards Identification
Eyes: May cause temporary eye irritation.
Skin: Prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation or dermatitis.
Inhalation: Vapors and mists irritate eyes, nose and throat. Dusts generated from sanding and grinding on surfaces coated with this
product may be harmful if inhaled.
Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is low. Amounts ingested incidental to industrial handling are not likely to cause injury; however,
ingestion of large amounts may be harmful.
Chronic: This product contains graphite which can accumulate in lung tissue after long-term exposure to the dust. The potential
from the use of this product is very limited.
Section 4: First Aid Measure
Eyes: Remove contact lenses if worn. Flush with water or saline for 20 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower
eyelids. Get medical aid if irritation occurs.
Skin: Thoroughly wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Inhalation: Immediately remove affected individual from exposure and to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration and other supportive
measures as required. Get medical aid if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, give 1-2 glasses of water. Seek medical advice.
