HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
HEALTH EFFECTS
Acute – Swallowed:
Acute – Eye:
Acute – Skin:
Acute – Inhaled:
Chronic:
Other Information:
The liquid is irritating and harmful if swallowed.
It is considered that swallowing is an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial
environments. However ingestion of large amounts may cause injury. If aspirated (liquid enters the lung), may cause
lung damage or even death due to chemical pneumonia, a condition caused by petroleum and petroleum-like solvents.
The liquid is irritating to the eyes.
The vapour is mildly irritating to the eyes.
Mildly irritating to the skin. Repeated or prolonged contact will defat the skin,
and cause skin reactions. May also cause dermatitis.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
The vapour is an irritant to the mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
Prolonged exposure may cause headaches, sleepiness and eventually narcosis.
The inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Principal routes of exposure are by inhalation of vapour and skin contact.
Acute effects from inhalation of high concentrations of vapour are pulmonary irritation,
including coughing, with nausea, central nervous system depression – characterised by headache and dizziness, increased
reaction time, fatigue and loss of coordination.
If there is exposure to a highly concentrated solvent atmosphere, this may lead
to narcosis, even coma and possible death.
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying,
cracking and dermatitis to follow.
The ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting. The
most significant chronic effect of overexposure to isocyanates (Part B) is respiratory sensitivity which can lead
to chemical asthma. Sensitivity usually occurs in the first 2 months of exposure. A person with isocyanate sensitivity
should not be further exposed to isocyanates.
No other information available.
FIRST AID
Swallowed:
Eye:
Skin:
Give water to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical assistance.
If in eyes, hold eyes open, wash with flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Ensure irrigation under eyelids by
lifting the upper and lower lids.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should be undertaken by skilled personnel.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately after a spray down with water to reduce static discharges, and wash skin
thoroughly with water and soap (if available).
Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
Inhaled:
First Aid Facilities:
Remove to fresh air if effects occur. If not breathing commence resuscitation, eg mouth-to-mouth.
If breathing difficult, oxygen can be given by a trained person. Call a doctor and/or transport to an emergency
facility.
If poisoning occurs contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
Advice to Doctor:
The decision of whether to induce vomiting must be taken by the attending physician.
The danger of aspiration must be considered against the toxicity of the substance. Control lavage with a cuffed
tube. If swallowed may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and cramping. Central nervous system
effects may be observed, including headache, anaesthesia and coma.
Enforce bed rest and observation for at least 24 hours. Maintain airway and vital functions. Avoid use of sympathomimetic
amines. Excessive inhalation exposure to vapour is characterised by signs and symptoms of central nervous system
depression.

Paints containing isocyanates may have an irritant effect on the mucous membranes
– especially on the breathing organs, and cause hypersensitivity reactions. Inhalation of vapour or spray mist
may cause sensitisation.
When handling paints containing isocyanates all precautions required for solvent
containing paints must be followed. Vapours and spray mists, in particular, must not be inhaled.
Allergics and asthmatics as well as people prone to respiratory ailments should
not work with isocyanate containing paints.
Local exhaust ventilation usually required.
Use in a well ventilated area.
In enclosed areas, provide explosion proof ventilation system. Maintain adequate
ventilation. Maintain air levels below the recommended exposure limit. Performance of ventilation system should
be regularly monitored. If air contaminant level exceeds the recommended exposure limit, respiratory protection
(SAA approved respirator) required.

OTHER INFORMATION
Toxicology:
Methoxy propyl acetate: no data available
Dibutyl tin dilaurate: Oral LD50 (rats) 200-1600mg/Kg
Dermal LD50 (calculated) 2170mg/kg
2,4 pentanedione: A subchronic inhalation toxicology study conducted with vapour
from 2,4 pentanedione resulted in the following effects:
At 650ppm there were marked signs of toxicity with deaths; bodyweight decreases;
decreased erythorocyte count and hematocrit; degenerative changes in the brain and thymus of animals that died;
reversible squamous metaplasia in nasal mucosae.
At 300ppm; slight decrease in body weight; decreased erythrocyte count and hematocrit;
no histopathological features.
At 100ppm no adverse effects observed compared with non-exposed controls.
Exposure of pregnant Fischer 344 rats to 2, 4 pentanedione vapour at 50, 200 or
400ppm during the period of organogenesis resulted in maternal toxicity at 400ppm (decreased body weight). Fetotoxicity
was seen at 400ppm (reduced foetal body weight). Embrotoxic and teratogenic effects were not seen at any exposure
concentration.
2, 4 pentanedione did not produce mutagenic effects in a bacterial (Ames) test and
an in vitro CHO forward gene mutation test (HGPRT locus). Positive effects were noted in vitro with CHO sister
chromatid exchange and chromosome aberration tests. While 2,4 pentanedione induced micronuclei in vivo in a mouse
micronucleus test using the intraperitoneal route of exposure, no micronuclei were induced in either rats or mice
by vapour exposure up to 592ppm (6 hours/day for 5 days). Also chromosome aberrations were not seen in rat bone
marrow following vapour exposure up to 590ppm (6 hours/day for 5 consecutive days). The significance of these findings
with respect to long-term human health is uncertain, but they do indicate an absence of genotoxic effects in vivo
by vapour exposure. In an ongoing 9 day repeated occluded skin contact study in the rat there was evidence for
central neurotoxic effects at 2, 4 pentanedione applied dosages of 975 and 1463mg/Kg/day, but not at 244mg/Kg/day.
Avoid contaminating waterways. Harmful to aquatic life/birdlife.
