GENERAL HAZARD:
Highly flammable liquid; may release flammable vapors when temperatures are at or over the flash point. Toxic gases will form upon combustion.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Allow fire to burn out under controlled conditions or fight fire from a safe distance, extinguishing with foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or dry
sand. Do not use directly "WATER" to extinguish to avoid the danger of fire spread that may be caused by floating flammable material on the
water surface. But if possible to do without hazard, use water spray to cool fire exposed surface and isolate material from heat.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical or dry sand.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT:
Respiratory and eye protection required for fire fighting personnel. Full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) should be used for all indoor fires and significant outdoor fires. For small outdoor fires, which may easily be extinguished with
a portable fire extinguisher, use of an SCBA may not be required.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCT:
Smokes, fumes and oxide of carbon.

VI. ACCIDENTAL Provide maximum ventilation. Personal protection should be used. Remove all sources of ignition. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. Avoid
RELEASE runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Take up spilled material with vermiculite, dry sand (Don't use organic material to take
MEASURES up or wipe for example: sawdust, cotton cloth or paper which cause fire by spontaneous chemical reaction with air and paint and organic materials)
and place in a disposal container.

VII. HANDLING Handle in sufficiently ventilated areas.


AND STORAGE Handling in closed areas requires local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 0.5 m/sec, at the point of vapor evolution.
Keep container closed. Loosen closure cautiously before opening.
Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from incompatible materials.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Protect material from direct sunlight.

XI. TOXICOLOGICAL Xylene, all isomers


INFORMATION ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Xylene can affect the body if it is inhaled, if it comes in contact with the eyes or skin, or if it is swallowed. It may enter
the body through the skin.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Dizziness, excitement, drowsiness, incoordination, staggering gait, impaired reaction time, impaired short-term
memory; headache; eye, nose, throat irritation; corneal vacuolization; anorexia; nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain; dryness and scaling of the
skin, dermatitis; reversible liver and kidney damage after exposure to sudden high concentrations. INGESTION ACUTE: Burning sensation in
mouth and throat; abdominal pain.
TARGET ORGANS: CNS, eyes, skin, respiratory system, GI tract, blood, liver, kidneys.
ACUTE EXPOSURE: The signs and symptoms of acute exposure to xylene include headache, fatigue, irritability, lassitude, nausea, anorexia,
flatulence, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, and motor incoordination and impairment of equilibrium. Flushing, redness of the face, a
sensation of increased body heat, increased salivation, tremors, dizziness, confusion, and cardiac irritability have also been reported.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE: The signs and symptoms of chronic exposure to xylene may include conjunctivitis; dryness of the nose, throat, and skin;
dermatitis; and kidney and liver damage.
ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY: Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) value of 3,500 mg/kg, it is classified as Category 5.
ACUTE DERMAL TOXICITY: Classification is not possible because the data available is not enough for classification.
ACUTE INHALATION TOXICITY: Not classified based on the rat LC50 (4 hour inhalation exposure) value of 29.08 mg/L (MOE Risk Assessment
Vol.1, 2002) (equivalent to 6,700ppm) was lower than 90% of the saturated vapour concentration (8,000ppm) under a saturated vapour pressure
of 0.8 kPa (20 ºC), the substance was considered as "vapour containing substantially no mist" and was set as out of category.
SKIN CORROSION / IRRITATION: Moderately irritating to rabbit's skin following a 24-hour exposure to 0.5 mL mixed xylenes under semi-
occlusive conditions. Hence, it is classified as Category 2.
SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE / EYE IRRITATION: Moderately irritating to rabbit's eyes. Two drops of xylene into the eyes of rabbits resulted in slight
conjunctival irritation and very slight transient corneal injury, therefore it is classified as Category 2A.
RESPIRATORY /SKIN SENSITIZATION: Respiratory sensitization: Classification is not possible due to lack of data.
Skin sensitization: Classification is not possible due to lack of data.
GERM CELL MUTAGENICITY: Xylene is not classified as a germ cell mutagen based on the negative data on human multi-generation
epidemiological studies and somatic cell mutagenicity tests in vivo (micronucleus/chromosome tests) and the absence of data on heritable
mutagenicity tests, germ cell mutagenicity tests in vivo and germ cell genotoxicity tests in vivo.
CARCINOGENICITY: For the reason that xylene is classified as Category A4 by American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
(ACGIH), Group 3 by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and Group D by United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), it is set as out of category.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: Several human studies examined exposure to organic solvents (including mixed xylenes) and developmental
effects. An increased potential for spontaneous abortions among the wives of occupationally exposed men was reported. However, no
conclusions can be drawn from these studies because they all involved concurrent exposure to multiple chemicals. Mixed xylenes have been
shown to produce developmental effects, such as an increased incidence of skeletal variations in foetuses, delayed ossification, foetal
resorptions, and decreased foetal body weight in animals via inhalation exposure. Some studies observed maternal toxicity as well.
Thus, xylene is classified as presumed human reproductive toxicant (Category 1B).
Page 3 of 6 EFFECTS ON OR VIA LACTATION: Classification is not possible due to lack of data.
DAVIES LIQUID-TILE PENETRATING SEALER CLEAR

SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY - SINGLE EXPOSURE: Based on the human evidence including "throat irritation, severe pulmonary
congestion, alveolar haemorrhage, pulmonary oedema, congestion accompanying hepatomegaly, centrilobular vacuolation of hepatocytes, nerve
cell damage associated with dot haemorrhage, swelling and disappearance of Nissl bodies, limb cyanosis, a transient increase in serum
transaminase activity, an increase in the blood level of urea, a decrease in endogenous creatinine clearance in the urine, liver damage, severe
kidney damage, amnesia, coma" and "pulmonary congestion, pulmonary oedema, focal alveolar haemorrhage," it is classified as Category 1
Target organ toxicant and the evidence from animal studies including "strong narcotic effect," it is classified as Category 3 Target organ toxicant.
The basis for the classification includes data on xylene with unknown composition or containing other substances.

SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY - REPEATED EXPOSURE: Based on the human evidence including "eye/nose irritation, thirst" and
"chronic headache, chest pain, abnormal electroencephalogram, dyspnea, cyanosis of the hands, fever, a decrease in WBC count, discomfort,
impairment of pulmonary function, a decrease in working capacity, physical/mental disorders," it is classified as Category 1 Target organ toxicant.
ASPIRATION HAZARD: Classified as Category 2 Aspiration toxicant based on the report that aspiration of xylene or acute exposure to high
vapour concentrations of this substance may cause chemical pneumonitis, haemorrhage into the air spaces, and pulmonary oedema. A worker
exposed to the vapours of a solvent containing 75 percent xylene (approximate airborne xylene concentration of 60 to 350 ppm) developed
giddiness, anorexia, and vomiting. After inhalation of high (not further specified) concentrations of xylene, workers may become flushed, feel hot,
and experience confusion, dizziness, tremors, and other signs or symptoms of central nervous system toxicity.

Solvent naphtha (petroleum), light aromatic


ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Solvent naphtha (petroleum), light aromatic can affect the body if it is inhaled, if it comes in contact with the eyes or
skin, or if it is swallowed.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Respiratory irritation signs and symptoms may include a temporary burning sensation of the nose and throat,
coughing, and/or difficulty breathing. Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in
dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and death. If
material enters lungs, signs and symptoms may include coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest congestion, shortness of
breath, and/or fever. Defatting dermatitis signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation and/or a dried/cracked appearance.
Auditory system effects may include temporary hearing loss and/or ringing in the ears.
TARGET ORGANS: Skin. Respiratory system. Central nervous system (CNS).
BASIS FOR ASSESSMENT: Information given is based on product testing, and/or similar products, and/or components.
ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY: The oral LD50 value for Sprague-Dawley rats was greater than 5000 mg/kg, therefore, it is not classified because it is
out of category.
ACUTE DERMAL TOXICITY: Classified as Category 5 since the dermal LD50 value for New Zealand White rabbits was greater than 2000
mg/kg.
ACUTE INHALATION TOXICITY: Set as out of category based on the inhalation LC50 value for Sprague-Dawley rats of greater than 5.61 mg/L
(considered as mists).
SKIN CORROSION / IRRITATION: Classified as Category 2 Skin Irritant based on OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion) on
New Zealand White rabbits with mean erythema score of 2.56.
SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE / EYE IRRITATION: With reference to test made on similar product, solvent naphtha (petroleum), light aromatic is not
classified since it is considered to be non-irritating to eyes.
RESPIRATORY /SKIN SENSITIZATION: Respiratory sensitization: Classification is not possible due to lack of data.
Skin sensitization: Not classified as a skin sensitizer for the reason that the Buehler Test on Hartley Albino guinea pigs showed solvent naphtha
(petroleum), light was not a contact sensitizer.
GERM CELL MUTAGENICITY: Solvent naphtha (petroleum), light was not classified as a germ cell mutagen since the result of germ cell
mutagenicity tests on similar product was negative.
CARCINOGENICITY: Not classified as a carcinogen since test guideline equivalent or similar to OECD Guideline 451 (Carcinogenicity Studies)
to a similar product was not expected to display carcinogenic properties.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: Causes foetotoxicity in animals at doses which are maternally toxic, thus, classified as Category 2.
EFFECTS ON OR VIA LACTATION: Classification is not possible due to lack of data.
SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY - SINGLE EXPOSURE: Classification is not possible due to lack of data.
SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY - REPEATED EXPOSURE: It is not classified but has the following effects on repeated exposure:
Auditory system: prolonged and repeated exposures to high concentrations have resulted in hearing loss in rats. Solvent abuse and noise
interaction in the work environment may cause hearing loss. Kidney: caused kidney effects in male rats which are not considered relevant to
humans.
ASPIRATION HAZARD: Classified as Category 1 Aspiration toxicant based on the report that aspiration of solvent naphtha (petroleum), light
aromatic may be fatal if swallowed and enters airways and since the chemical is a hydrocarbon.

Ethylbenzene
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact.
SYMPTOMS: Irritation eyes, skin, mucous membrane; headache; dermatitis; narcosis, coma
Page 4 of 6 TARGET ORGANS: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system
DAVIES LIQUID-TILE PENETRATING SEALER CLEAR

INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is irritating to the eyes , the skin and the respiratory tract. Swallowing the liquid may
cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure
above the occupational exposure limit (OEL) could cause lowering of consciousness.
EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. The substance may have effects
on the kidneys and liver, resulting in impaired functions Repeated contact with skin may cause dryness and cracking.
ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY: The calculated LD50 (Rat, oral) was 3,500 mg/kg. Therefore, it was classified as Category 5.
ACUTE DERMAL TOXICITY : The dermal LD50 for ethylbenzene in New Zealand White rabbits was calculated as 15,415 mg/kg body-weight.
Hence, it is not classified.
ACUTE INHALATION TOXICITY: The acute inhalation LC50, vapor, 4 hours for ethylbenzene in Carworth Wistar rats was calculated as 17.8
mg/L (4,000 ppm) body weight. For this fact, it is classified as Category 4.
SKIN CORROSION/IRRITATION: Undiluted ethylbenzene has been shown to produce moderate irritation when applied to the uncovered skin of
rabbits. The application of undiluted ethylbenzene to the ear and to the shaved abdomen of rabbits up to 20 times during a 4-week period
resulted in moderate irritation. There was erythema and edema with superficial necrosis and exfoliation of large patches of skin. From this fact,
ethylbenzene is classified as Category 3 (Mild skin irritant).
SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE/IRRITATION: Drop application to rabbit eyes caused slight irritation and no corneal injury demonstrable by fluorescein
staining. Standard testing on rabbit eyes gave an injury grade of 2 on a scale of 10. Ethylbenzene is classified as Category 2B (mildly irritating to
eyes).
RESPIRATORY / SKIN SENSITIZATION: Respiratory sensitization: Classification is not possible because the available data were insufficient to
warrant a classification.
Skin sensitization: Classification is not possible because the available data were insufficient to warrant a classification.
GERM CELL MUTAGENICITY: In a National Toxicology Program study, ethylbenzene was not mutagenic in Salmonella tests and did not induce
chromosomal aberrations or sister chromatid exchange in Chinese hamster ovary CHO) cells in vitro , although it did induce trifluoro-thymidine
resistance in mouse lymphoma cells at the highest concentration tested (80 mg/litre). There was no increase of micronuclei in the peripheral
blood of mice exposed to ethylbenzene. Based on these data, ethylbenzene is not classified as mutagenic.
CARCINOGENICITY: IARC reported that there is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of ethylbenzene but there is sufficient
evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of ethylbenzene. Thus, ethylbenzene is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
ACGIH classified ethylbenzene as A3; Confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans. From these facts, ethylbenzene is
classified as Category 2 (Suspected human carcinogen).
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: Based on the description of mice/rat teratogenicity tests: Toxic effects on the embryo (urinary malformation) are
observed at dosing levels not toxic to maternal animals, it is classified as Category 1B (Presumed human reproductive toxicant).
EFFECTS ON OR VIA LACTATION: Classification is not possible due to lack of data.
SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY - SINGLE EXPOSURE: Classification is not possible due to lack of data.
SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY - SINGLE EXPOSURE: Single high exposures to ethylbenzene through inhalation cause irritation of the
mucous membranes and central nervous system effects (2,180 ppm). Ethylbenzene is classified as Category 2 (central nervous system) and
Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation).
SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY - REPEATED EXPOSURE: Classification is not possible because the available data were insufficient to
warrant a classification.
ASPIRATION HAZARD: Classified as Category 1 Aspiration toxicant based on the description in International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSC):
Ethylbenzene, if swallowed, may cause chemical pneumonia due to misswallowing. The substance is a hydrocarbon, the kinematic viscosity of
which stands at 0.6 mm2/s (25 ºC).
