Section 3: Hazard Identification


Emergency overview:

Appearance and Odor:  Reddish brown color with oily type of aroma

May react vigorously with strong acids and bases.  Mildly irritating to
respiratory tract and skin, minimally irritating to the eye, and by
ingestion, considered practically non-toxic.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS 

Likely Routes of Exposure:  skin contact and inhalation

Eye contact:  NC-513 was found to be minimally irritating in test animals.

Skin contact:  Mildly irritating.  Can cause sensitization reactions in
individuals allergic to the poison ivy family of plants (Rhus).  Non-toxic
dermally (LD50 > 2 g/kg).

Inhalation:  Vapors or fumes may irritate respiratory tract.  May product
allergic reactions among individuals highly sensitive to Rhus plants.

Ingestion:  Oral LD50 (rat):  5 g/kg.  Considered practically non-toxic
orally.

Carcinogenicity:  Lab tests found NC-513 a weak mutagen in the Ames test
and mutagenic in the Mouse Lymphoma Cell test.

Signs and symptoms of exposure:  Skin irritation

Medical conditions aggrivated by exposure:  Pre-existing skin conditions


Refer to Section 11 for toxicological information.


Section 4: First Aid Measures

Emergency and First Aid Procedures:

Eye contact:  Immediately flush with plenty of water, call a physician.

Skin contact:  Wash affected area with soap and water.

Inhalation:  Remove to fresh air. Call a physician.

Ingestion:  Give two glasses of water.  Immediately call physician or
Poison Control Center.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures


Contain spills with dikes and transfer the material to appropriate
containers for reclamation or disposal.  Absorb remaining material
or small spills with an inert material and then place in a chemical
waste container.  Flush residual spill area with water.  Make sure
entire area is being ventilated while this is going on.

Refer to Section 13 for disposal information and, Section 15 for
reportable quantity information.



Section 7: Handling and Storage


Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.  Remove contaminated clothing
and launder before re-use.  Avoid eye contact.  Avoid prolonged breathing
of vapors/fumes.  Use in a well ventilated area.

Warning:  This product contains detectable levels of epichlorohydrin known
to cause cancer in laboratory animals.




Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


Eye Protection:  This product can cause irritation.  Use good industrial
hygeine practice to avoid eye contact.  Therefore safety glasses but
preferably goggles should be worn at all times when working with this
material.
