EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - ACUTE:
Inhalation - Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain or nervous system,
causing dizziness, headache or nausea.
Contact - Causes eye burns.
Contact - Causes skin irritation.
Skin Absorption - Hazardous ingredients contained in this product have the
capacity to be absorbed through the skin in sufficient quantities to cause
systemic toxicity. See Safe Handling and Use Information (Section VIII).
Ingestion of large amounts could cause serious injury.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC:
Inhalation statement: Sanding dust inhalation may cause lung damage.
Contains: Crystalline silica which has been determined to be carcinogenic to
humans (1) by IARC when in respirable form. Risk of cancer depends on the
duration and level of inhalation exposure to dust from sanding the dried paint
or spray mist. May cause allergic skin reaction.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY EXPOSURE:
None expected when used in accordance with Safe Handling and Use Information
(Section VIII).
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: DERMAL INHALATION INGESTION
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Inhalation - Remove to fresh air. Get medical help for any breathing
difficulty. Eye Contact - Flush thoroughly with water. Call physician.
Skin Contact - Wash with soap and water.
Ingestion - Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute. Do NOT induce vomiting.
Call physician.
