SECTION VI. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: DARK AMBER LIQUID WITH A STYRENE ODOR,
STATEMENT OF HAZARD:
WARNING: COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID
CAUTION: HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE NARCOSIS. MAY CAUSE SKIN AND
EYE IRRITATION. VAPOR MAY IRRITATE THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. HARMFUL IF
ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN, SWALLOWED, OR INHALED.
CHRONIC HAZARD WARNING:
DANGER: CONTAINS MDA, LEVELS OF DANGER DEPENDS ON THE DURATION
AND EXPOSURE LEVELS.
PRIMARY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: SKIN CONTACT
CARCINOGEN LISTING BY: OSHA-NO IARC-YES
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE CONTACT MAY CAUSE MODERATE IRRITATION WITH CORNEAL INJURY. VAPORS MAY
IRRITATE THE EYES, CAUSING TEARS. EXCESSIVE VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS WILL
IRRITATE THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND MAY CAUSE NARCOSIS. PROLONGED OR
REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION, POSSIBLE BURNS, AND
DRYING OR FLARING OF THE SKIN. OVEREXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT CAN CAUSE
FEVER, CHILLS, LOSS OF APPETITE, VOMITING AND JAUNDICE. MAY STAIN SKIN.
HARMFUL AMOUNTS OF THIS MATERIAL CAN BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. THIS
MATERIAL CONTAINS 4,4' METHYLENEDIANILINE (MDA) WHICH MAY CAUSE CANCER
AND IS A LIVER TOXIN. RISK OF CANCER DEPENDS ON THE LENGTH AND LEVEL OF
EXPOSURE. IN ADDITION, LONG-TERM (CHRONIC) EXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO THE LIVER, KIDNEYS, BLOOD, SPLEEN, THYROID AND EYES. CHRONIC
OVEREXPOSURE TO STYRENE MAY AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
FIRST AID:
EYE CONTACT: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES,
CONTACT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH SKIN WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES
WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. CONTACT PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. CONTACT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CONTACT PHYSICIAN OR REGIONAL
POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY.
*4,4' METHYLENEDIANILINE IS CONSIDERED AN ANIMAL CARCINOGEN BY IARC AND
NTP, RISK TO YOUR HEALTH DEPENDS ON LEVEL AND DURATION OF EXPOSURE.
SECTION VII. SPILL. LEAK. AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION
SPILL / LEAK PROCEDURES: IN CASE OF SPILL, CONTAIN WITH A SUITABLE DIKING
MATERIAL. IN ADDITION TO THE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, WEAR IMPERMEABLE
BOOTS, VENTILATE THE AREA THOROUGHLY. KEEP ALL UNNECESSARY PEOPLE AWAY.
SPILLED MATERIAL SHOULD BE ABSORBED IN SAWDUST, SAND OR OTHER ABSORBENT,
PLACE INTO OPEN-TOPPED CONTAINERS AND COVER LOOSELY; STORE FOR AT LEAST
12 HOURS BEFORE SEALING THE CONTAINER.
WASTE MANAGEMENT / DISPOSAL: CONTROLLED INCINERATION OR BURIED LANDFILL
DISPOSAL SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.
RCRA WASTE CODE: NONE

SECTION VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS:
THE LEVEL OF ENGINEERING CONTROL DEPENDS ON HOW THIS MATERIAL IS
PROCESSED. SELECTION OF SPECIFIC PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WILL
DEPEND ON THE OPERATION.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING THAT IS IMPERVIOUS TO THIS PRODUCT. SELECTION OF
GLOVES, BOOTS, APRON OR FULL-BODY SUIT WILL DEPEND ON OPERATION.
EYE PROTECTION:
WEAR CHEMICAL SPLASH-PROOF GOGGLES OR A FACE SHIELD. VAPOR RESISTANT
GOGGLES ARE NECESSARY IF CONTACT LENSES ARE WORN BY EMPLOYEES.
RESPIRATOR:
IF AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION OF MDA IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 10 TIMES THE
PEL, WEAR A HALF-MASK RESPIRATOR WITH A COMBINATION ORGANIC VAPOR/HEPA
(HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE IN AIR FILTER) CARTRIDGE.
IF THE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 50 TIMES THE MDA
PEL, WEAR A FULL FACEPIECE RESPIRATOR WITH A FULL FACEPIECE POWERED
AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR WITH HEPA CARTRIDGES IS REQUIRED WHEN THE
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 1000 TIMES THE PEL OF
MDA. WEAR EITHER A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH A FULL
FACEPIECE IN POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE OR A PULL FACEPIECE POSITIVE PRESSURE
DEMAND SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR WITH AUXILIARY SELF-CONTAINED AIR SUPPLY
IF THE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION OF MDA IS UNKNOWN.
VENTILATION:
USE EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP AIRBORNE LEVELS BELOW OSHA- RECOMMENDED
EXPOSURE LIMITS. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IN A POORLY VENTILATED AREA.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS ESSENTIAL TO PREVENT OXYGEN DEFICIENCY AND
CONCENTRATION OF VAPORS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO LIFE-THREATENING NARCOSIS.
GENERAL HYGIENE RECOMMENDATIONS: BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, SMOKING OR
USING TOILET FACILITIES, WASH FACE AND HANDS THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND
WATER. IF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF THIS MATERIAL GET ON WORK CLOTHES, THE
EMPLOYEE SHOULD SHOWER IMMEDIATELY AND THE CLOTHING SHOULD BE LAUNDERED
BEFORE IT IS WORN AGAIN. ANY EMPLOYEE WHO HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO MDA AT OR
ABOVE THE ACTION LEVEL(SPPB) FOR 30 OR MORE DAYS A YEAR, OR WHO HAS HAD
DERMAL EXPOSURE TO MDA FOR 15 OR MORE DAYS A YEAR, OR WHO SHOWS SIGNS OF
DERMAL EXPOSURE(STAINED SKIN) MUST SEE A DOCTOR FOR MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE.
NOTE: ANY CLOTHING THAT HAS BEEN CONTAMINATED WITH MDA MUST BE LAUNDERED
BEFORE IT IS WORN AGAIN. DESTROY CONTAMINATED LEATHER AND ABSORBENT
SHOES. WORK CLOTHING CANNOT BE TAKEN HOME.
SPECIAL ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS: CONSULT THE OSHA' STANDARD 29 CFR PARTS
1910 AND 1926 (OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO 4,4' METHYLENEDIANILINE) FOR MORE
INFORMATION ON WHETHER OTHER ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE NEEDED. SINCE THIS
PRODUCT IS COMBUSTIBLE, BE SURE TO ISOLATE, VENT, DRAIN, WASH AND PURGE
EQUIPMENT (SYSTEMS) BEFORE MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR. REMOVE ALL IGNITION
SOURCES. CHECK ATMOSPHERE FOR EXPLOSIVENESS AND OXYGEN DEFICIENCIES.
SECTION IX TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ON COMPONENTS OF THIS PRODUCT ARE AS
FOLLOWS:
4,4' METHYLENEDIANILINE (MDA) HAS AN ORAL LD50 OF 250-347 MG/KG (RAT) AND
264 MG/KG (MOUSE). THIS MATERIALS HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN.
REPEATED DERMAL EXPOSURE TO MDA MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTIONS AND
LIVER DAMAGE. MDA CAUSED LIVER TUMORS IN MICE AND THYROID CANCER IN RATS
AND MICE DURING LABORATORY TEST.
STYRENE HAS AN ORAL LD50 (RAT) OF 5000 MG/KG. IF STYRENE LIQUID IS
ASPIRATED INTO THE LUNGS, IT MAY BE RAPIDLY ABSORBED THROUGH THE LUNGS
AND CAUSE INJURY TO OTHER BODY SYSTEMS. STYRENE IS REPORTED TO CAUSE
HEARING LOSS IN LABORATORY ANIMALS UPON EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
(16 TIMES THE TLV). THE RELEVANCE OF THIS TO HUMANS IS UNKNOWN. CHRONIC
OVEREXPOSURE TO STYRENE MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, LIVER AND
KIDNEY EFFECTS AND RESPIRATORY OR EYE IRRITATION.
BENZYL ALCOHOL HAS AN ORAL LD50 (RAT) OF 1230 MG/KG. PROLONGED SKIN
CONTACT MAY CAUSE DEFATTING OF THE SKIN. INHALATION OF VAPORS MAY CAUSE
HEADACHE, VERTIGO, NAUSEA, AND VOMITING. CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
DEPRESSION MAY ALSO OCCUR.
