6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA:

 

Inhalation: Vapors are irritating to eyes, nose, and respiratory tract. May cause headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness.

 

Skin Contact:  May cause irritation. Wear protective gloves.

 

Ingestion:  See inhalation: can also cause breathing difficulty. Kidney damage may result from ingestion of large quantities of test solution.

 

Skin absorption: Prolonged or widespread contact with skin may lead to absorption of harmful amounts of materials resulting in symptoms as described under ingestion.

 

Eye Contact: Causes marked irritation

 

SPECIAL WARNING: Pregnant women should not use this product; laboratory studies of animal subjects have shown birth defects, delayed fetal development, and increased fetal mortality at air concentrations of 150 to 200 ppm.

 

7. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

 

Eyes: Flush liberally with running water.  Call a physician.

 

Skin: Immediately remove contaminated clothing.  Thoroughly wash affected area with soap and water.

 

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and call a physician.

 

Ingestion: Give large quantities of water.  Induce vomiting.  Call a physician.

9. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES:

 

Absorb spill with paper toweling or vermiculite.  Once absorbed, evaporate outdoors or incinerate in a chemical burner equipped with an after-burner and scrubber.

 

Dispose of waste product by high temperature incineration, as approved under appropriate federal, state and local legislation.  Do not discharge without prior written approval from the appropriate health and environmental authorities.

 

10. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:

 

NOT FOR USE AS A CONSUMER PRODUCT.  FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.

Keep this product away from heat and flame.  Always use with adequate ventilation.  Do not allow fluid to contact skin; wear gloves.

 

WARNING TO PREGNANT WOMEN: Do not use DYNE TEST PENS unless exposure is extremely low.  Even small amounts, if repeatedly inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through skin, may cause fetal malformations.

 

11. HANDLING AND DISPOSAL GUIDE:

DYNE TEST PENS

 

Flexart Inks, Paints & Coatings, Inc. strongly recommends you wear protective gloves while using these test marker pens; skin contact presents the highest potential for exposure under normal testing conditions.  Eye protection and a laboratory coat or apron are also good precautions.

 

Ventilation must be adequate to ensure that vapors will not accumulate; an exhaust hood is ideal, though not absolutely necessary as long as there is reasonable airflow in the test area.

 

Spent material samples must be handled with care:  Disposal of these contaminated materials also presents exposure hazards.  We suggest you allocate one trash container exclusively for dyne test waste; use an inner liner, keep it covered, and label the lid.

"DO NOT HANDLE THIS WASTE WITHOUT PROTECTIVE GLOVES.  AVOID SKIN CONTACT."

 

Outdated pens should be dispositioned by your in-house industrial waste expert via your contracted waste handling firm.  The EPA classifies the constituents of these pens as generic solvents, but your local regulations may be more stringent.  ALWAYS REVIEW THE MSDS WITH YOUR WASTE-HANDLING FIRM TO ENSURE PROPER HANDLING.
