Colour-white

Odour-Glycol odor.

May cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if swallowed.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Eye contact
According to test results on COLORTREND base mixtures, this product is classified as a moderate eyeirritant. May cause tearing, reddening and/or swelling.
Skin Contact
COLORTREND colorants may cause irritation.
Inhalation
COLORTREND colorants may cause irritation.
Ingestion
Moderately toxic. May be harmful if swallowed.
Ingestion of ethylene glycol may cause abdominal discomfort or pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness,drowsiness, irritability and central nervous system effects. Swallowing large volumes of ethylene glycol
causes severe kidney damage and cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis) which may be fatal.
The human oral lethal dose is approximately 1.6 g/kg.
Ingestion of excessive amounts of diethylene glycol causes abdominal discomfort or pain, nausea,vomiting, dizziness, central nervous system effects, kidney damage and cardiopulmonary effects(metabolic acidosis) which may be fatal (estimated human oral lethal dose, 1.0 to 1.2 g/kg) and may
cause liver effects.
Chronic Health Hazard
High concentrations of titanium dioxide dust caused microscopic lung tumors in rats in lifetime inhalation
studies. However, DuPont, the primary US manufacturer, based on a review of the test data and basedon an epidemiological study of employees, concludes that titanium dioxide pigment will not cause
chronic respiratory disease in humans at concentrations experienced in the workplace.
Ethylene glycol may aggravate an existing kidney disease. Repeated skin contact with ethylene glycol
may, in a very small proportion of cases, cause sensitization with the development of allergic contact
dermatitis. The incidence is significantly less than 1% with the undiluted material. Repeated inhalationof ethylene glycol mist may prodce signs of central nervous system involvement, particularly dizzinessand drowsiness.
Short term exposures to talc may cause lung irritation. Long term excessive exposure to talc dust may
cause talcosis, a pulmonary fibrosis which in turn may lead to severe and permanent damage to thelungs. NTP Toxicology and Carcinogenesis Studies of Talc revealed that there is some evidence ofcarcinogenic activity in male rats and clear evidence of carcinogenic activity in female rats. There was
no evidence of carcinogenic activity in male or female mice.
Because this product is a free-flowing liquid or paste, dust inhalation is not an expected route ofexposure.

3 / 104. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If unconscious, evaluate the need for
artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin contact
Flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Obtain medical attention if irritation
develops or persists.
Eye contact
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Obtain medical attention if irritation
develops.
Ingestion
If swallowed give two glasses of water and induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media
In case of fire, use water (flood with water), dry chemical, CO2 or "alcohol" foam.
Specific hazards during fire fighting
Contains material that can burn in fire if contained water is evaporated by heat or fire.
Further information
As in any fire, wear self-contained positive-pressure breathing apparatus, (MSHA/NIOSH approved orequivalent) and full protective gear. Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat (fire). Cool withwater spray.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions
Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8.
Environmental precautions
Obey relevant local, state, provincial and federal laws and regulations. Do not contaminate any lakes,streams, ponds, groundwater or soil.
Methods for cleaning up
Ventilate area. Absorb spill with inert material and place in a chemical waste container.

General Toxicity Information

MSDS-US (P51/100) / 8/17/2004 11:22

According to long-term animal inhalation studies, very high concentrationsof diethylene glycol vapors caused central nervous system effects in miceand rats. However, an extensive review of the literature shows that nosuch effects have been documentedin humans(Patty's Industrial Hygiene
and Toxicology, 1982, Third Revised Ed., Vol 2c, p 3838).
Ethylene glycol has been shown to produce dose-related teratogenic
effects in rats and mice when given by gavage or in drinking water at highconcentrations or doses. However, there is no available information tosuggest that ethylene glycol has caused birth defects in humans.
In a continuous breeding study of mice, continued ingestion of large
amounts of diethylene glycol (6 g/kg/day) caused an adverse effect onfertility and some embryotoxic and fetotoxic effects concurrent with somematernal toxicity. The relevance of these very high doses to humans isuncertain.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONSWASTEAdvice on disposal

Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state, provincial
and local regulations. CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Empty containers byremoving the top and inverting to allow all free flowing product to drain. To
meet regulatory criteria, the container is considered empty when less than
3% remains in the container. Additional special handling is not typicallyrequired and the empty container can be discarded with other nonhazardous trash. Note: Local disposal regulations may be more stringent
and require additional restrictions or precautions. Customers should checkwith their local disposal company, municipal orstate authority. Recycle ofplastic or metal containers may require clean rather than empty
containers. In this case the containers can be rinsed with water until thecontainers are considered generally product free.
