2.2 Label elements

0 2 HEALTH 2 0 FLAMMABILITY - continued H360, H350 - California Proposition 65 Warning: This product contains a component (or components) that may cause cancer and genetic effects in a concentration greater than or equal to 0.1%. H371 - May cause liver damage. (Specific target organ toxicity, single exposure, category 2) H402 - Harmful to fish and other water organisms. H413 - May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Precautionary Codes: P202 - This product should only by used by persons trained in the safe handling of hazardous chemicals. P233 - Store in a tightly closed container. (P404) P262 - Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. P264 - Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not take internally. Eye wash and safety equipment should be readily available. P280 - Protective gloves must be worn to prevent skin contact. P284 - Respiratory Protection: If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see TLV/PEL), or a risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate, use of a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised. Use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN14387) respirator cartridges in absence of proper environmental control. Always use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Engineering and/or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure. P338 - Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove and contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. P352 - Skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

Hazard statements

H302 - Harmful if swallowed. (Acute toxicity, oral, category 4) H312 - Harmful if absorbed through skin. (Acute toxicity, dermal, category 4) H315 - Irritating to skin. (Skin corrosion/irritation, category 2) H320 - Irritating to eyes. (Eye damage/irritation, category 2B) H332 - Harmful if inhaled. (Acute toxicity, inhalation, category 4) H350 - This product is or contains a component that is classified (ACGIH, IARC, NTP, OSHA) as a possible cancer hazard. (Carcinogenicity, category 1B) H351 - The consistent finding in animal studies with PCB’s is that they produce liver injury and are suspected of causing cancer following prolonged and repeated exposure by any route, if the exposure is of sufficient degree and duration. Liver injury is produced first, and by exposures that are less than those reported to cause cancer in rodents. Therefore, exposure by all routes should be kept sufficiently low to prevent liver injury. (Carcinogenicity, category 1B) - continued

2.3 Other hazards

2.2.1 - Symptom of Exposure Health/Environment Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation or dematitis (rash). May cause liver damage. (Specific target organ toxicity, single exposure, category 2) Overexposure may cause reproductive disorders based on tests with laboratory animals. The consistent finding in animal studies with PCB’s is that they produce liver injury and are suspected of causing cancer following prolonged and repeated exposure by any route, if the exposure is of sufficient degree and duration. Liver injury is produced first, and by exposures that are less than those reported to cause cancer in rodents. Therefore, exposure by all routes should be kept sufficiently low to prevent liver injury. (Carcinogenicity, category 1B) Harmful to fish and other water organisms. (H402) May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. (H413)

Potential health effects

Irritating to eyes. (Eye damage/irritation, category 2B) Irritating to skin. (Skin corrosion/irritation, category 2) Harmful if absorbed through skin. (Acute toxicity, dermal, category 4) Irritating to mucous membrane and upper respiratory system. Harmful if inhaled. (Acute toxicity, inhalation, category 4) Harmful if swallowed.
