Potential Health Effects | |
| Eye Contact: | Contact with skin may be harmful. May cause allergic skin reaction. |
| Skin Contact: | This product is a moderate skin irritant based on animal studies. This product induced skin sensitization in an animal study. This product may induce skin sensitization in humans. |
| Skin Absorption: | May cause allergic skin reaction. |
| Skin Sensitization: | This product induced skin sensitization in an animal study. This product may induce skin sensitization in humans. |
| Inhalation: | Vapor or mist may cause headaches, nausea, and irritation of nose, throat and lungs. |
| Ingestion: | Pain or discomfort in the mouth, chest and abdomen. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, faintness, weakness and collapse. |
| Repeated Exposure: | Aziridine based crosslinkers caused mutations and chromosomal aberrations in several in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity studies. Based on these studies and animal carcinogenicity data on similar substances, this material should be treated as a possible carcinogen. |

Section 4 - First-Aid Measures |
| Eye Contact: Immediately flush the eyes with large quantities of running water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Hold the eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the eye and lids with water. Do no attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Obtain medical attention as soon as possible. Oils or ointments should not be used at this time. Continue the flushing for an additional 15 minutes if a physician is not immediately available. |
| Skin Contact: Wash off of skin with plenty of soap and water. If redness, itching or burning sensation develops, get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing and decontaminate footwear before reuse. |
| Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiraton, preferably mouth-to-mouth. Consult medical personnel. If breathing is labored, give oxygen. |
| Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink and refer to medical personnel or take direction from either a physician or a poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an unconcious person. |
| Notes to Physician: Medical personnel should evaluate persons with chronic pulmonary disease before those workers handle this product. |
| Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: N/A |
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures |
| Extinguishing Media: Water fog, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, halogenated agents. Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure buildup. |
| Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece and full protective clothing. If contact occurs with material or its solutions, immediately flush with water and remove contaminated clothing |
| Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Heat/impurities may increase temperature/build pressure/rupture closed containers, spreading fire, increasing risk of burns/injuries. |
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures |
| Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Contain spill. Soak up material with absorbent and shovel into a chemical waste container. Decontaminate with 1% acetic acid solution or one part white vinegar to four parts water. |
| Personal Precautions: Wear skin, eye, and respiratory protection during cleanup. |
| Environmental Precautions: |
Section 7 - Handling and Storage |
| General Handling: Open containers in a well-ventilated area to avoid exposure to residual propyleneimine that may have collected in headspace. Avoid breathing vapors or aerosols. Prevent skin and eye contact. A sensitized individual should not be exposed to the product which caused the sensitization. |
| Other Precautions: |
| Storage: Keep containers tightly sealed. Store in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat, sources of ignition, direct sunlight, and incompatible materials. |
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
Personal Protection | |||||||||||||||
| Eye/Face Protection: Wear chemical tight googles and full face shield. | |||||||||||||||
| Skin Protection: Take all precautions to prevent skin contact. Use gloves, arm covers and apron determined to be impervious under the conditions of use. Additional protection, such as full body suite and boots may be required depending on conditions. Remove contaminated clothing and was before rewearing. Wash separately from other laundry. | |||||||||||||||
| Respiratory Protection: Where engineering measures are not feasible or to provide supplementary respiratory protection, NIOSH certified full facepiece supplied-air respirators provide the highest protection. Where the use of supplied-air respirators is not feasible, NIOSH certified full facepiece air purifying respirators equipped with high efficiency filters may be used. All respirator use should be managed under a respiratory protection program meeting the requirements of 29CFR1910.134. | |||||||||||||||
| Hygenic Measures: Eyewash station and saftey shower must be readily available in work area. | |||||||||||||||
| Engineering Controls: This product has a very low vapor pressure, precluding significant inhalation exposure under normal conditions, used which may generate aerosol mists, such as spray application, need to be well controlled to prevent significant inhalation exposure which presents serious health risks such as respiratory sensitization. Where aerosol mists may be generated, the operation should be enclosed as much as possible, with extraction ventilation provided at any required openings. A properly engineedred spray booth, equipped with downdraft or lateral flow ventilation, is a possible engineering control measure. Air exhausted for the enclosure should be filtered and discharged to a safe location, preferably outdoors. | |||||||||||||||
