11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

GENERAL

Skin contact with the preparation and exposure to spray mist and vapour should be avoided. Repeated skin contact may lead to irritation and to sensitisation, possibly with cross-sensitisation to other epoxies. It contains low molecular epoxy constituents which are irritating to eyes, mucous membrane and skin. Based on the properties of the epoxyconstituents and considering toxicological data on similar preparations, this preparation may be a skin sensitizer and an irritant. There are no toxicological data available on the product itself.

INHALATION

Exposure to vapours may result in adverse health effects such as irritation of the mucous membrane and the respiratory system.

SKIN CONTACT

Allergic reactions may occur after short time exposure. Repeated skin contact may lead to irritation and sensitization, possible with cross-sensitisation to other epoxies.

EYE CONTACT

Splashes in the eyes may cause irritation and reversible damage.

INGESTION
