| KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN! Do not breathe vapors. Use in well ventilated area. Provide fresh air such that chemical odors cannot be detected during use and while drying. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw, beadblast, mechanically chip, pulverize or otherwise machine existing resilient flooring, backing, lining felt, or asphaltic ***cut-back*** adhesives. These products may contain either asbestos fibers or crystalline silica. Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of such dust is a cancer and respiratory tract hazard.? Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep containers tightly closed. Store containers away from excessive heat and freezing. Store away from caustics and oxidizers. |
| From MSDS:Hazards IdentificationEmergency Overview: A white to off-white paste product with a very slight ammonia odor. WARNING! May cause eye, skin, nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. This product contains ethylene glycol.Routes of Exposure: Skin Contact, Eye Contact.Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation.Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation.Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation.Inhalation: Vapors may be irritating to eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, mucous membranes).Ingestion: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. If ingested, may cause vomiting, diarrhea, and depressed respiration. Ingestion may result in obstruction when material hardens. Aspiration of material into the lungs due to vomiting can cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal. Ingestion of ethylene glycol can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and if ingested in sufficient quantities, death.Medical Conditions which May be Aggravated by Exposure: None known. |
| From MSDS:Prolonged or repeated contact with skin results in irritation and dermatitis.Ethylene Glycol may cause kidney and liver damage upon prolonged and repeated overexposures. Studies have shown that repeated inhalation of ethylene glycol has produced |
| The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite that is inhaled from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1- carcinogenic to humans). Refer to IARC Monograph 68, Silica, Some Silicates and Organic Fibres (published in June 1997) in conjunction with the use of these materials. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) classifies respirable crystalline silica as ***known to be a human carcinogen***. Refer to the 9th Report on Carcinogens (2000). The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) classifies crystalline silica, quartz, as a suspected human carcinogen (Group A2). Breathing dust containing respirable crystalline silica may not cause noticeable injury or illness even though permanent lung damage may be occurring. Inhalation of dust may have the following serious chronic health effects: Excessive inhalation of respirable dust can cause pneumoconiosis, a respiratory disease, which can result in delayed, progressive, disabling and sometimes fatal lung injury. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, non-specific chest illness and reduced pulmonary function. Smoking exacerbates this disease. Individuals with pneumoconiosis are predisposed to develop tuberculosis. There is some evidence that breathing respirable crystalline silica or the disease silicosis is associated with an increased incidence of significant disease endpoints such as scleroderma (an immune system disorder manifested by fibrosis of the lungs, skin and other internal organs)? repeated, or high exposures may cause weakness and depression of the central nervous system. |
| Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.Skin Contact: Wash off with soap and water. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing.Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Get medical attention immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. |
